Osborn Design came about when co-founder Aaron Osborn met an out-of-work cobbler who was doing charitable work in Guatemala, where his (Aaron’s) family runs one of the largest orphanages in the country. Each shoe is handcut and sewn by a local artisan and I think the result is pretty amazing! Fashion+Humanitarianism=Pure Gold (as already once proven by Tom’s Shoes). I also came upon Osborn’s tumblr, which is fully of random inspirational photos. Hope you enjoy!

// Pink Suede Shoes//

Purchased these little babies at the Dolce Vita Boutique in the LES this weekend while (post Bloody Mary brunch) shopping with my girls on Saturday. Kind of in love with my feet today. They have some great stuff right now – including both their new summer collection + some amazing sale items! If you don’t have a boutique in your area, check them out here!

// PVBLIC//

I discovered this brand PVBLIC at (capsule) show a couple weeks ago, and I’m in love with it! I adore anything with tribal print.  This particular collection was inspired by the indigenous people of Alaska from the Siberian Coastal Inuit to the to the Central Alaska Yup’ik. Some of the tops come with a leather and suede medicine pouch necklace that can be looped into the back of the neckline. Normally I don’t like accessories attached to my clothing, but with this line it just works! How amazing is that off-white tee with the totem bird design on the shoulders?? I love it.

They have menswear too! (including some KILLER sweatpants)

// Virgo by Jeffrey Campbell//

Even though it still somehow feels like winter will never end, I am so ready for these shoes. I love the new “flatform” style of shoe because for girls like me we can always use the extra height.

Jeffrey Campbell. Virgo. 5″ heel. 2″ platform. Woven rafia. NeedSupply. $112.

// Built by Wendy - Spring Collection //

Wendy Mullin’s Spring line is making me so ready for warm weather. She always creates the perfect transition pieces like that jumpsuit, blazers, light-as-a-feather trousers, and short-sleeved cotton dresses. Love that green striped dress paired with the pinky-beige round shades. We’re almost there!

// Skinny is out. //

I don’t know about you, but I am so sick of skinny jeans. I think the trend lasted longer than anyone ever expected, and now I have officially hung them up in exchange for slouchy trousers, harems, pleat-fronts, pajama-style, and wide-legs (or flares for us short girls).  Most of these go best with cropped tops and blouses, a nice change from the super baggy boyfriend-shirt that went so well with skinny pants and leggings. Which style do you prefer?

Here’s where to get them:

// Just a quick post to say that I…//

Just saw this rainbow maxi dress by UNIF in Nasty Gal’s newest Lookbook and I’m in love! It looks gorgeous with jeans and could also be worn with a light summer dress, shorts or even a bathing suit! This would be beyond perfect for a summer in Vegas. The best part of all?  Its only $128!!

// Andre + Annabelle for Illesteva//

 

Soo happy I don’t have 20/20 vision?  Andre Saraiva +  Annabelle Dexter Jones for Illesteva.  To be sold at Colette Paris and Opening Ceremony (NY,LA).
