What's In My Bag for Fashion Week

This is a bit exciting, I suppose! A little while back I shot a video with Glam while I was in San Francisco about what I'd pack in my bag for fashion week. The concept was to curate a little bag that you could take straight from the airport to NYFW. Simple, right? Not so much as I wanted to pack all black. Tell me if you're surprised!

In my Cuyana Tote was:

YSL Rouge Volupté Shine #10, Chocolate Instyle
MAC Rebel
MAC Breath of Plum

Shoemint heels (similar here)
Catbird + Endswell rings
Beanie from Voyager

Dress from Wasteland
Helmut Lang skirt
Romper from Jane's Closet
Zara leather jacket

Samsung NX-300

That romper has been in full rotation and I don't think I've gone two days without wearing that beanie since I got it. I finished that YSL lipstick since shooting (RIP) and will probably repurchase; we all know I love those 90's brown lips. Still digging that leather jacket I bought a few years back — so impressed with the quality of Zara's leather goods, if I'm being honest. And of course I go nowhere without my lil camera + rings. Woo.

I had so much fun shooting and love how it came out. Check out the video, let me know what you think, and leave me some comments telling me what you would put in your bag for fashion week, yay!

P.S. Give a little love to Kristen and Kelly; they were amazing!

The Endswell Collection · endswell.co

A few months back I met with the lovely Rachel, one half of Yield Design Co, and chatted with her over lunch at a cute little cafe in Hayes Valley. I spotted a ring that she was wearing and (obviously) immediately asked where it was from; turns out, she designed it herself. Two of her friends had gotten married and she designed their wedding bands — how ridiculously awesome is that? 

The process is what interested me: each ring is designed, 3D printed, and then cast in gold. A mix of old and new technologies; something with a story. And alas, the modern heirloom was born. I've stuck around for the ride — hanging out around the office snapping photos and instagrams, learning about the process, and I've loved every minute. Andrew and Rachel are super fun to be around and so absurdly talented that it's hard not to be inspired by what they do (and want to be a part of it).

It's been so incredible watching the collection unfold and come to be what it is today. More than anything I'm so excited to see where this goes next. Each ring is beautifully crafted, is of the highest quality, and most of all made with tons of love and excitement. Do I sound cliché enough? I'm obviously quite biased but let's be real, how could I not be?
