Santa Maria Novella

A good friend of ours introduced Santa Maria Novella to us a while back as we sat in his car wondering what that magic scent enveloping us was. He had just visited the Melrose boutique + picked up a bit of their pot-pourri. It is lovingly handmade using ancient methods, + grown without pesticides in the Florentine hills exclusively for Santa Maria Novella. Each batch is collected by hand, soaked in essence in enormous, centuries-old earthenware jars, sealed with wax, then aged for several months, + carefully packaged as it has been for centuries. All ingredients are 100% organic + pesticide free. You can find a plethora of Santa Maria Novella products online or at their store fronts in New York and Los Angeles. There is so much to choose from, so enjoy!

She Hit Pause. Studios

Came across this rad photographer from Brooklyn + we simply can't get enough. Photographer Matt Schwartz and web designer/developer Kate Shawver created She Hit Pause Studios, Inc. back in 2002. We love his modern take on the 'pin-up girl' + find his quest to capture the moment with his subjects (his friends + people who have purchased his work) inspiring!

C PAS ECO CHIC

The Eco-Tux...why not? This green 30-piece collection helmed by skateboarder/founder of Sole Technology, Inc. Pierre Andre Senizergues is anything but conventional. These well tailored suit/tuxedos are made from recycled cashmere, parachute silk, recycled t-shirts, eco-fabric + the like. C PAS is due to premier at high-end department store Colette June 6th, + we will certainly be keeping our eyes out for fine and forward thinking gentlemen sporting this ec0-chic collection.

Zimmermann Is Sexy

We adore this Ozzy line designed by sisters Nicky + Simone Zimmermann. Their swim collection is thoughtfully arranged by strong silhouettes, clever color combinations + off the wall prints.
