THE FASHION FILES: NO. 6 SPRING/SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION

Posted on March 23, 2018 | 2 Comments

I love the new Spring/Summer collection of No. 6. Owner and designer Karin Bereson’s goal is to create pieces that can be worn over and over, and can easily complement a woman’s existing wardrobe. In her own words, No.6 is a brand for “anyone, anytime, anywhere.” About this US based brand: Launched in 2005, No.6 began as an under-the-radar shop in the Little Italy/Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan, carrying curated vintage and European designers. Since its advent, the brand has garnered a cult following for their handmade shoes and aspirational yet accessible ready to wear collection. No.6 takes great pride in its manufacturing practices, domestically producing both its signature clothing line and clogs. All clogs and clog boots are made exclusively by hand. I love the Karin’s aim to have a brand that resonates with humor and friendliness in an industry that is often known for its exclusivity and seriousness.

WONDERFUL WINTER WHITES

Posted on December 22, 2017 | 2 Comments

I love a white sweater for winter. My favorite is this wool-cashmere cable turtleneck from Everlane. I like the oversized fit and the quality is really good (the sweater keeps its shape after washing). Everlane is well known for their affordable & transparant prices and this beautiful sweater is only $130. I also love their woolen mittens featured below.
