StudyThis.

With fall arriving at the moment, I decided it would be perfect timing for me to post what I have been lusting over for the past couple of months or so. To me trends are a big part of my purchase, but of course, not without the debate will I want to wear this next fall, will I still be stylish, is the quality enough last me the next 5 years? Just recently I purchased the most heavenly of all sweaters. It's called the envelope sweater by STUDY. Tara St. James is one of the most creative designers in my mind. The way shes manipulates the fabric into a beautifully draped garment and most of her pieces have more than one way to wear it (which is always a plus!). With that being said you are getting 4 different garments with one piece of fabric. Now tell me that isn't cool? Ok, back on track, the envelope sweater.... We had it last year and it sold out, we reordered and it sold out again. To me dismay we sold out to quick for me to snatch one for myself. This year I wasn't going to let that happen again! I bought the sweater maybe a week ago and wore it 3 times already.. For me that's a record! It is my favorite statement piece at the moment and I have gotten tons of compliments on it (which is also a plus). I actually am wearing it right now! It is versatile in the sense that is can be combined with almost anything. The first day I paired it with my Saturday errand clothes.. a t-shirt, jeans, and my red Toms. Second day I paired it with leggings, Alice + Olivia tunic (that Kate gave from a clothing swap :) and my Melissa black sparkle rain boots. Today I paired it with Serfontaine skinny jeans, flannel top, and black studded clogs. Next I am thinking a beautiful vintage dress, tights and my Swedish Hasbeens lace up booties. So many ideas and one perfect sweater. I am in fashion heaven!

Fri., Oct. 15: We’ve all seen images of the Gulf Oil Spill – filmy waters, desolate shorelines and blackened, lifeless animals — but what about the human face of the lives and livelihoods that have been destroyed? Inhabitat and 99% Gallery present Mired in the Bayou a provocative photography and sculpture exhibit that reveals the true human face of the BP disaster like no other media has done thus far. This exhibit explores several towns along the Gulf Coast that have been left in financial and emotional ruin as a result of the spill. Focusing on individual stories and oil-laden remnants collected from the coast, Mired in the Bayou portrays a sliver of a greater picture, revealing how our excessive oil consumption has led the way to a devastating, man-made catastrophe which has destroyed both the environment and the livelihoods of thousands Americans.



More about this exhibit, photos and a video trailer can be seen here.

Opening Reception: Oct. 15, 7-10 p.m., 99% Gallery (99 N. 10th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

PritiGlamour.

Check it out! One of our most popular (aka my favorite color) Priti nailpolish made it's debut in Glamor's Novemeber issue. Its the perfect color for fall. Staying on top of the trends with out going over board. It has a the natural coloring with texture in it to complete the spot on fall trend. The natural coloring makes it more subtle rather than a color that screams LOOK AT ME, I'M TRENDY! We currently have St. Catherine's Lace in stock plus much more on the way!

MAtt&NatParty.


Kaight continues its "Shop Within A Shop" program with animal-friendly accessories line Matt & Nat. The Canadian-based brand remains a trailblazer in the environmental movement. Each product contains at least one recycled element and on average 21 plastic bottles are recycled to make linings for our bags. This season, the collection is based on a modern approach to a primitive aesthetic; beads and metal ornaments give each style an antique, yet romantic feel.
