So that’s why we are pleased as punch to introduce you to Llani, a collection of divine slides, slippers, Babouches, and sandals that are intricately embellished in India in small, fair- wage, family-run factories, and have serious style for (walking) miles.

Chatting with Kristin and Kofi Essel of Third Crown
The modernity of Third Crown’s jewelry makes it endlessly wearable and au courant but the core of the pieces feel deeply classic. The clever use of arcs, beveling, and substantial links make for pieces that have strength and gumption but are still are subtle enough for everyday wear. Add a tee, a slicked bun, and one of their Prizm or Arc necklaces / bracelets, and that equals outfit complete.
Chatting with Kavi Moltz of D.S. & Durga

The brand crafts magical, unusual scents that jog your memory bank and create new ones. Their stark, graphical approach to their packaging and product design makes their bottles, candles, and even car air fresheners, top shelf material.

Sherri McMullen and Chloe Warner combined their knowledge of business and merchandising with their long-time passion for designing interesting window displays to create McMullen—now a favorite Oakland boutique offering wearable but chic garments and accessories from new and lesser-known fashion designers. We recently visited their boutique to learn more about their particulars.

Chatting with Sydney Ziems
When a designer says that she is curating for “a modern-day Jane Eyre with a
dash of Fran Drescher,” then we know that we are literally kindred spirits. Sydney Ziems,
founder of Serendipitous Projects is a bright, shining light. She’s combines her curious,
vivacious nature with her creative know-how which ultimately translates into a line that is
an absolute original. Drawing from her love of the water (she’s a Pisces, natch!), Ziems
has created an ocean-inspired collection for summer that feels equally at home in NYC
as it does on the streets of Palm Beach.
