FOR HIM: SUNGLASSES
I LOVE a guy who wears high-style sunglasses. I push the Persol Steve McQueen style on all of the men in my life.
Some of us tend to lose sunglasses on a bi-annual basis so $400 glasses are not really a wise investment. These Warby Parker mens sunglasses have such a similar look, are super light, polarized (!!!) and they are just $95.
Givenchy Rain Boots
April means rain and tornados in Texas so we are officially in rain boot season. I have had my eye on these Givenchy rain boots for a while and I finally found them on SALE! (Because $300 is too much to pay for a pair of rubber boots.)
PROENZA SCHOULER CAMERA BAG
I have been looking for a few nice pieces to update my spring/ summer wardrobe and there are few purchases that are more gratifying to me than luxury accessories. I will wear Zara clothing all day long, but give me a Proenza Schouler bag and some nice sunglasses.
My new Proenza Schouler looks like a camera bag, but it is not. (Still looking for one of those.) It is super light and tiny- great for vacation or traveling.
BABY GIFT // TOY CAMERA
Speaking of toy cameras…Oh Joy! shared her daughter’s new toy on instagram and I had to buy one for some friends who are expecting. #GiftCloset
DAVID ARSHAM | CAMERA SCULPTURE
A few weeks ago I got to meet artist David Arsham at his Brooklyn studio. The space is full of his unique modern art- an unconventional ping pong table, clouds made of small spheres, sculptural cameras and human-like ghosts projecting from the walls.
BOOKED | KELLY WEARSTLER
Kelly Wearstler is my favorite interior designer. Her style is unique, loud but luxe and immediately identifiable. When I travel, I try to find a reason to stay at one of her hotels (Anguilla is my next stop).
HERMÈS CONSTANCE
Moda Operandi just launched their vintage Hermès trunkshow. Among the other iconic bags is the Hermès Constance- my dream bag.
The Hermès Constance is not a trendy It Bag. Click here to see how fashion icons wear it.
NEW BAG
I really love handbags- more than shoes or clothes. I try to invest in a new bag at least once a year (something I started in college) and this year I stepped out of my black/navy/grey/cream comfort zone and bought a bright bag.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY + LETS GET PHYSICAL
You now have less than one month to prepare for Valentines Day. After that, Mother’s Day rolls up pretty quickly.
The best gifts are thoughtful gifts.
I plan to use a new company, Pinstagr.am, for my next round of gifting. The company has about 10 options of ways to print your Instagrams- from calendars to stickers to book- and they are all incredibly inexpensive.
Do you follow me on Instagram? You should. @VENZedits.
BERLIN PHOTO DIARY
I just traveled to Germany with the rewardStyle team. The snow during Berlin Fashion Week was beautiful but the German cold is unlike anything I have ever felt in America.
