At Haught Style in the Prairie Village Shops, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., be sure to come visit me, Kirk, Heather and Kylie!
Note that this is all day — hopefully those of you in the city can make it at some point. We will release the newest FLP tee to the public at 10 a.m., [...]
All my tees will be available for $20, and I’m so excited to be partnering up with Early Jewelry! Kansas City friends, I hope to see you there!
And… I’ll be introducing my second tee design at the show. Can’t wait!
I had such a nice Christmas this year. It was a whirlwind of Midwest roadtripping (to Colorado, then to Oklahoma), but we were fortunate to avoid any snow-sasters, such as is covering Kansas City right now. There’s a foot of snow on the ground, and today’s high is FOUR! And the city can’t handle all [...]
Several weeks ago I was re-introduced to Lawrence-native Early Jewelry. Designed by Kylie Grater and handmade from start to finish by her and her team, the shapes and material choices make perfect sense — and yet everything about them are a perfect surprise every time you look at them.
The line’s metals are all recycled, sourced [...]
Sustainable fashion line Thieves is SO speaking my language. Designed by Sonja den Elzen and in its sixth season, I can’t get enough of these incredible silhouettes!
Leather Warrior Jacket
Siberian Top
Wide Leaf Belt
Thieves is sold through Thieves Boutique, an online boutique whose vision is to sell not only its house line but also goods from other eco fashion [...]
Two T-shirt styles and a signed/editioned print are available now, each graced by a beautiful 1968 fashion illustration by J. Kirk Davis!
This store launch has been casually in the works for several months, and I couldn’t be more excited about it now! And being the “experiment” that it is, of course, I had to share [...]
Tomorrow night I’ll be diving into “the art of conversation” at Pecha Kucha Night, an awesome concept that invites creative people on stage to talk about anything they choose for 6:40 at a time — 20 slides at 20 seconds each. About 200 cities around the world host their own local events.
I went to my [...]
A few weeks ago I attended my first TED event — but before you assume I dropped a couple thou on a conference, this one was right here in Kansas City and FREE. And totally awesome and inspiring. John Gerzema, author of The Brand Bubble and CIO at Young & Rubicam, kicked off the TEDxKC event of [...]
A first glimpse at a little tee line I’ll be releasing soon in collaboration with some fantastic Kansas City artists. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
Lo and behold, I open up my Style Bubble RSS feed today, and Susie’s designer crush of the moment is none other than Kansas City’s Peggy Noland. Gotta love it!
I took the image above of Peggy’s KC shop earlier this summer, covered in stuffed animals, and Susie showed the inside of Peggy’s new shop in [...]
I actually like to pay full price for things, because then I know everyone making money on the item got paid what they’d planned to get paid. (Which was, ideally, a fair wage at every step of the way.) In theory, when stores make all the profit they want off an item, they’ll be less [...]
A few nights ago, I fell asleep with two things running through my head: Coldplay’s Strawberry Swing and a pair of Chie Mihara shoes I have my eye on. (They work on you like that.) This weekend, Chies will be more attainable than usual at the Habitat Shoes Spring Shopping Party — online, get 25% [...]
Today in the Star, Jenee Osterheldt wrote a column about fashion as a sign of the times — that spring styles are increasingly comfortable and increasingly “classic.” She called me last week for my thoughts…
Janette Crawford, the blogger behind www.fashionlovespeople.com, says people are repurposing the clothes they already have, and when they buy, they get [...]
Not to belabor the point, but. Coolhunter spotlighted Lego accents yesterday.
Iconic retro brands possess strong currency right now. The latest hails not from the annals of fashion or apparel but from the world of toys – we’re talking about LEGO, the multi-colored building bricks that we all grew up with. While LEGO is still one [...]
Aren’t they both so sweet? (Especially as photographed on NYLON’s Camilla Belle cover from this month!)
The cloth-wrapped button earrings are by StellaWear, a side project of a Hallmark graphic designer. Available in store at Bon Bon or on the StellaWear Etsy page.
The brushed acrylic black hearts are by Bon Bon co-owner and jewelry artist Emily [...]
