As the day turns to evening, a girl’s A.M. look needs a little help to make her stand out in the midst of the electric nightlife. Try out a couple of these tips to amp up your look the next time you go out for a few drinks. Eyes: *Darkening the crease with a deep brown or a charcoal will smoke out a daytime look without making others wonder if you got into a fight. *Popping on a glitter liner over or parallel to your existing liner will add a sparkly twist. *A pair of false eyelashes always turns up the drama. Cheeks: *A highlighter on the cheekbones and brow bone will dazzle your face with dimension as it lifts your face and adds a superstar glow. *Add a touch of a brighter blush to the apples of your cheeks to give your complexion a sudden radiance. Lips: *A deeper color (reds, plums, berries) rather than a soft, natural color instantly switches the clock from A.M. to P.M. Don’t forget a liner! *Pop a gloss on top of a lip color for a really stand-out pucker.

Make Up Starter Kit
The esssentials for any makeup enthusiast By: Gary Wong
For any girl, a morning makeup routine is crucial, whether to erase the signs of a late night, or simply enhance your natural features. Unfortunately, we’ve all seen the outcome of a makeup regimen that just doesn’t seem to have everything in place. Follow these tips to find the best makeup basics. 1.Skincare: In the morning, use a moisturizer with an SPF of 20 or higher. It’s the perfect way to give yourself a little protection throughout the day. 2.Prep: A foundation and eye shadow primer are your insurance policy for a long-wearing look. But beware of Silicone-based primers, they can cause breakouts! 3.Foundation: Choose a foundation or tinted moisturizer that is the most appropriate for your skin type. Keep in mind the time of year, and how much your skin tone (and skin type) will change. Make sure that you update your foundation to suit your skin’s needs. Tip: Not everyone requires a fullcoverage foundation. Try out a formula with light-medium coverage. You’ll be surprised by how well they can hide problem areas. 4.Concealer: To erase those dark circles, find a pink-toned corrector to cancel the darkness, and then follow it with a yellow-toned concealer to visibly lift and brighten the under-eye area. For blemishes and other unwelcome guests, use a concealer that matches your foundation to avoid highlighting, and bringing attention to any problem areas. 5.Powder: A setting powder (NOT a powder foundation) is crucial in ensuring the longevity of your foundation. It will also help absorb any excess shine that may appear during the day.
18
6.Bronzer: Look at the color of your upper chest, and check to see if the color falls into the Cinnamon or Golden category. Choose a bronzer that matches your respective category for the most natural look.
7.Blush: Pay attention to the color of your lips without any lip product on. Find a blush that matches that color to add a natural flush appropriate for any occasion. 8.Lips: Lip color should play off of your natural lip color, whether it be a few shades lighter, or a few shades darker. Add a gloss to accessorize a lip color, or keep it easy by itself. 9.Brows: Put down the pencil, and reach for a powder eye shadow that is 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color (NEVER use black!). The powder formula will keep your brows looking softer and more natural. 10.Eye shadow: Neutral browns, champagnes, and warm coppers all make a great color palette to use for everyday eyes. Keep in mind the deeper the color, the more intense the look. 11.Liner: Gel eyeliner is a girl’s best friend for its durability, control, and opacity. With a gel eyeliner, there is no smudging, flaking, or running.

Stress Relief Three simple ways to relieve stress, mentally and physically
By: Bethany Pichard Classes, work, extracurricular activities, money, relationships, and bad hair days are all things that add stress to our daily lives. It’s impossible to eliminate stress completely, but there are ways to combat it by boosting your mental and physical health. 1) Catch up on your REM sleep. Many experts recommend getting extra hours of sleep at night to wake up feeling ready to tackle the day. REM sleep, which occurs in five different stages that are repeated throughout the night, leaves us feeling refreshed and well-rested. To find out how much REM sleep you need each night, visit http://sleepyti.me/. 2) Hang out with friends. Meeting up with friends is a great way to unwind, whether you go to the gym, see a movie, or visit the mall for some retail therapy. A healthy social life naturally decreases stress levels. 3) Last but not least, RELAX! A great way to get rid of tension and anxiety throughout the day is by practicing Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). PMR involves a process of repeatedly tensing and relaxing your muscles. Every time you relax your muscles and breathe out, say the word “relax.” After much practice, the word alone will help your body instantly de-stress.

Quick Tips on Improving Your Posture By: Brittney Widel
{
It’s embarrassing enough when you realize you’re slouching in your seat, but what about when someone else points it out to you? It makes you wonder: How long have I been sitting like that? Though slouching has become a bit of a habit for all of us in college (we blame sitting on the computer doing homework), there are easy ways to fix this common problem. You’ll be surprised by how a good posture will enhance not only your physical appearance, but your confidence level as well. 1.Ladies, this is the last thing you want to hear, but: wear shoes with arch support. High heels offset the body’s proper stance, sending your upper body forward. 2.Make an effort not to push your head out, especially while driving, by being conscious of your head touching the headrest behind. 3.Practice Pilates, Yoga, and Barre. The natural movements of these exercises are meant to properly align the muscles and joints in the body. Luckily, FSU’s Leach Center offers Yoga and Barre Lean classes. 4.Strengthen your core and sit up tall. We know you’re working on that bikini-bod, and improving your posture will help keep your mid-section from sticking out.
26
5.Sit at the edge of your chair while browsing online or writing a paper. Plant your feet flat on the ground, keep your head back, push your shoulders down, and don’t hunch forward. Something as simple as sitting tall will bring awesome results.

barneys a how-to guide to landing your dream internship by: cara wolkowitz
Securing a fashion dream job may sound far-fetched for a recently graduated 22 year old, and it’s no secret that employers are looking for more than just a fly pair of wingtips or perfect sock bun. Above all, they’re looking for experience. It’s never too early to apply for your first internship, nor does it hurt to start locally. Once you have at least a summer of experience under your belt, bigger firms will be more willing to take a chance on you.
www.fre efas hion inte rns hips .com ww w.f ash ion ista.c om
The first step is to find a company to interview with. There are many helpful websites where programs post the necessary qualifications, dates, and responsibilities for prospective interns. Websites like www.freefashioninternships.com and www.fashionista.com allow you to filter by location, job type, and recent postings.
Companies receive resumes and cover letters from people of all ages and experience, so it’s important to make yours worthy of a phone interview. Fashion is a creative industry; employers appreciate design and personality on a resume. Playing with font is an easy way to make your resume stand out above the rest. Try using Helvetica or Century Gothic for something a little more modern, and less typical than Times New Roman. However, make sure it says professional and innovative, not Elle Woods.
30
Resume
It is also important to stay one step ahead of the competition. Bridge the gap between you, and your internship by running a blog, creating a website, or designing a magazine (like CLUTCH!). Not only do they look great on your resume, but show initiative, and are fun too!
new trends on the block
The ones to watch for: names, brands, and styles for this spring By: Madeline Smith Roksanda Ilinc: This budding designer, known globally for her chic footwear creations, is now collaborating with Aldo in a collection this spring for their new campaign, Aldo Rise. Be on the lookout for studs, see-through materials, and neon brights in this must-have line. Intermix: Just bought by Gap, Inc. for a stunning $130 million, the small-chain luxury retailer not only plans to help Gap collaborate with up-and-coming labels, but also double their store count, and expand abroad. American Glamour: According to experts at Women’s Wear Daily, you can expect US-based labels to bring the hottest-moving items of 2013. Attitudes are changing from day or night outfits to transitional-use wear, and American brands like Rag & Bone, J. Crew, and Vince will be on the rise to provide these essential, sleek looks. Nasty Gal: Every it-girl’s favorite online store just moved into a 50,000 square foot warehouse in LA to accommodate their recent gigantic 10,000% growth curve*. We can’t wait to see the inspiration this new locale gives them—and what it will bring to their creative look-books and merchandising techniques. *Financial growth figure reported by Forbes

INTERN AND THE CITY
1
A practical guide to choosing your internship destination By: Michelle Collins You’ve heard it a million times over from professors and your parents alike: you’ll never get a job out of college without doing an internship first. So, you’ve decided to begin your search for one, but don’t know which city you’d like to venture to. The following are a few pros and cons for three of America’s top cities for student internship programs.
*
la
PROS Film and Music Culture. Home to A&M Records, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Capitol Records, it’s safe to say that the most important site in the US for movie and television production is LA. If you’re interested in a career in film or music, Los Angeles will certainly be your best bet. When any major music artist goes on tour, it’s a sure thing that LA will be a tour location, which will give you the chance to see many performances while interning. Los Angeles is also known for hosting many film festivals throughout the year, perfect for an aspiring screenwriter or director. CONS Traffic. Los Angeles is notorious for excruciating bumper-to-bumper traffic during peak rush hour times. If your internship requires you to drive, do anything to avoid Pacific Coast Highway, as it is full of traffic lights and an influx of motorists. Keep in mind that Friday and Saturday’s traffic is going to be worse in the city, as locals will be trying to flee town for the weekend. Lastly, learn to tune into local talk radio, such as KNX AM News Radio 1070, which usually features six traffic reports an hour. If all else fails, you can always look into taking a public transportation line, such as the Metrolink or Metro Rail.
32
PROS You’ll Be In the Center of Everything. One of the perks of living in a city that spans 23 square miles with a population of almost 2 million people is that anything you could ever need is just a few steps beyond your closet-sized studio apartment. You can grab your morning coffee, walk to the office, hop next door for a quick lunch, and finish the day at your favorite bar for drinks with your new coworkers, all while staying within a two block radius. CONS Cost of Living. The average rent for an apartment in New York City is about $2,900 a month. If you’ve scored a killer internship, but it doesn’t pay, you may end up either taking a daily journey to and from a more affordable place in the suburbs, or leaving with a huge dent in your wallet at the end of summer.
1 *
nyc

miami
PROS The Beaches. If you’re a lover of tropical weather and beach days, Miami may be the best option for you. It’s home to dozens of beautiful white sand beaches, perfect for relaxing and maintaining your summer tan. If you get any free time off your internship, consider visiting one of Miami’s most popular spots, South Beach. Here you can read a book, enjoy a cocktail from one of the many South Beach bars, or simply sit and do some good old, tourist-themed people watching. CONS Crime Rate. Miami’s violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, particularly in the areas of robbery and assault. If you’re leaving your internship late at night, try to walk with a coworker and park in a well-lit area. If you’re walking alone, take off your flashy or expensive jewelry in advance, and walk with your car keys in hand. When driving, keep your car windows rolled up and doors locked at all times. You don’t have to be completely paranoid, but be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts.

What are they wearing to
NYC Fashion Week? By: Brittney Widel
Leave it up to Norr’easter Nemo to peg New York’s vibrant city in the middle of Fall 2013 Fashion Week. So what was the biggest trend seen outside the tents? Umbrellas. The snow and ice mixture pegged onlookers to and from Lincoln Center, but that didn’t stop fashionistas from dressing to the nines in hope of getting a sneak peek into one of the most talked about events of the year. Lincoln Center was hopping with colors and patterns. Women and men alike swooned with fur coats and scarves to keep warm. Models ran from tent to tent as quickly as possible. The true die-hard fashionistas managed to man the storm in the form of 6 inch stilettos and pose to take outfit photos “jacket-less” outside for their internet following. Many times, it’s not about how great you look, but how much attention you can attract with your outfit. The crazier the patterns, textiles, and colors, the more likely you are to get noticed. 34 As long as you can rock your outfit as hard as your outfit rocks you.

Worry-free spending that will improve your wardrobe By: Bethany Pichard
As a fashionista on a college budget, sometimes it can feel like we are buying the same clothes over and over again. Clothing can look great on someone else, but when it comes to buying outfits for ourselves, the excuses are unending: it’s out of my comfort zone, I could never pull that off, and most commonly, I just don’t have the money right now. However, one of the best favors you can do for yourself (and your wardrobe) is allowing one impulse buy per month on a have-tohave that piece of clothing basis. This impulse buy will make you forget all of the reasons why you shouldn’t get something, and instead, realize why you should! Adjust your budget to see how often you can afford an impulse piece (once a month, every three months, every six months, etc.), buy something that makes you feel fabulous, and don’t think twice about it. Watch as your wardrobe grows and your sense of style comes alive. Soon you will have something special to wear for every occasion, leaving you looking great, and feeling even better.

sole mates When to splurge on your footwear By Jordan Dixon
Many of us are familiar with the temptation of buying a great pair of shoes that are way out of our price range. However, in the end we usually realize that the cost per wear of a particular pair just isn’t worth the money. As a shoes lover, it’s important to justify when it is (and isn’t) acceptable to splurge on the shoes you just have to have. While browsing for your perfect pair, it’s important to keep in mind the potential versatility of the shoe itself. If you’re drawn to footwear only because of the allure of the design, there’s a good chance they will see nothing more than the back of your closet. Instead, seek out a pair of shoes that you envision yourself wearing on a daily basis. The ideal shoe will complement the majority of the wardrobe you already own. This spring, CLUTCH is loving the high top sneaker. Not only are they comfortable, they are also versatile as they can be worn with a variety of outfits to create a casual-cool look. It’s okay to splurge on a trendier pair, as long as you keep in mind their intended use. For example, if you love Converse, choose a pair in a basic color like black or white that will look great with any outfit. Once you find a pair of shoes that complement you, your wardrobe, and your lifestyle, you’ve got yourself an everlasting pair of sole mates.

The No-Fail 5 Step System to Organization
Conquer your closet By: Bailey Brown
A busy schedule
can lead to a chaotic closet, but with five steps and a little
patience, even those
with no time for sleep
can claim victory over the biggest wardrobe malfunction.
1.Keep calm and clear out Step one to achieving an organized wardrobe is cleaning it out. Get rid of what you don’t wear, but be realistic. If it hasn’t been worn in a year, get rid of it. Donate what is lightly used, and throw out the rest. 2.Give everything a place Once you’ve condensed your closet, you can assess the situation more clearly. As a rule of thumb, group like with like, and be sure to utilize all available space. Put the clothing you wear most often at eye level, and store seasonal items like sweaters and jackets in the less convenient spaces. 3.Catalogue by color Once your clothes are in their respective areas, arrange by color within each category. 4.Manage the miscellaneous This part can be tricky, but it is important to keep your odds and ends under control. Cubbies and hanging organizers are perfect for accessories like belts, purses, and jewelry.
58
5.Maintenance Congratulations! You can now stand proudly in front of a neat and tidy closet, but the work doesn’t end here. Continuous upkeep is necessary to keep your wardrobe in its best condition.
what’s on the THAT COUNTS
on-campus items you shouldn’t be without
{ { b y : k e l ly g r e e n w o o d
Bag: A removable strap lets tote your bag on your elbow for a more formal look off-campus. The size is just right, as it has plenty of room to 1 hold each campus necessity listed below.
Thermos: What’s better than drinking coffee? Drinking coffee while saving the environment. Consider making the switch from disposable to 2 reusable cups; the insulated interior keeps your coffee hot and fresh. Card Case: Hold on to a few of your business cards in this precious patent peacock-blue card 3 case. You never know who you’ll cross paths with. iPhone: Aka your portable planner. This beloved device holds everything from your calendar to 4 your ever-growing to-do list. Plus, what would you do without Instagram? Chapstick: To tend to those impossibly chapped lips that constantly need moisturizing. 5 (How high-maintenance of them…)
6
Roll-on perfume: For trucking across campus on Tallahassee’s hot spring days.
7
Sunglasses: These classic shades keep the shining sun out of your eyes.
Hair ties: At the slight mention of humidity, we suddenly resemble the “before” girl in those ever-so-dramatic hair commercials. Not a good 8 look. It’s always in your best interest to keep a hair tie nearby. These genius elastics are designed to leave your hair crease-free. Mini Wallet: The ultimate lightweight wallet that

space. The pop of leopard keeps things festive.

Whether you’re looking to add a pop of color to an outfit, or just fishing for a new DIY project, this statement necklace will add that extra pizzazz to your look without putting a major dent in your wallet. With a little creativity, you can turn an old necklace into a one-of-a-kind piece that you can’t get in stores. All you’ll need is: * A necklace (one you don’t wear anymore or an inexpensive one from Forever21) * Krylon Spray Paint (in a color of your choice) * An old newspaper or magazine

As soon as you find your desired necklace, head outside (or to a well-ventilated area), and lay it on your old newspaper or magazine. Spray the necklace with a light coat of Krylon’s Fluorescent Spray Paint, let it dry completely, then spray again with a second coat. Once the necklace is dry…voila! You now have yourself one of the hottest spring trends without emptying your pockets.
Five Items College Students Should Splurge On By: Megan Allen
Being a little short on cash basically comes in the job description of a college student. While saving money is important, it’s essential to invest in certain items that will benefit you greatly throughout college. Five items you should treat yourself to are: a reliable school bag, a laptop, a pair of comfortable sneakers, a planner, and an umbrella. If you get quality items and spend more money now, chances are you won’t have to keep replacing them. The bag will come in handy when you have classes all day and need somewhere to store your laptop, cell phone, or maybe even lunch. A laptop will probably be your most beneficial purchase for college. Spending more money to ensure the quality of your laptop is a good idea so you don’t have to spend money getting a cheap computer fixed often. Sneakers are also a must-have for walking across campus. Purchasing a reliable pair should last you a long time. A planner is important to have to keep track of tests and assignments. Obviously you will have to replace this once a year, but make sure to purchase one that fits your needs and has plenty of space to write in. Lastly, having an umbrella on you at all times will come in handy more than you think, especially in Florida. Being stuck on campus in the pouring rain with nothing to keep you dry is miserable, so invest in a quality umbrella that won’t break after a few uses.

How to afford your pinterest board Get the most out of Pinterest without breaking the bank
Pinterest boards are filled with dreams involving food, weddings, style, and travel. Unfortunately, many of us get so caught up in pinning everything our hearts desire, that we end up unable to actually afford them. Here’s how to turn your Pinterest dreams into reality. 1.DIY as much as possible. If you can do-it-yourself, then do it yourself. Create your own high waisted shorts, framed jewelry holder, or cute clutch. 2.Bargain shop. See a cool and intricate nail design you like? Publix sells nail polish for $1. Need a day at the spa or an exotic vacation? Check out Groupon and LivingSocial for unbelievable deals. Want to decorate for your wedding? Many websites are dedicated to selling low-priced products owned by brides who have already walked down the aisle. Don’t be afraid to shop-’til-you-drop at a local thrift store or online. 3.Let your imagination soar. Don’t just recreate the last Pinner’s idea, use it as inspiration. If you are trying out a recipe, and you can think of a way to improve it at a cheaper cost, pass it on. If you come across an awesome outfit idea, figure out how to put it together with your own unique touch. Don’t be afraid to take a picture and start a new pin. Pinterest is all about creativity, so express yourself and share the love.

Man Of Style
TITLE:
NAME:
Zachary Aaron Goldstein
wearing:
navy blazer white and blue plaid button-down black knitted tie bright green chinos pair of suede wingtips red pocket square
interview by:
Carlos Kempff
After two weeks of scheduling conflicts for our interview, I finally meet Zach over coffee one Friday afternoon at the Black Dog Café near Lake Ella. When you’re the Photo Editor for the FSView, a full time student, freelance photographer, and on top of everything, the new blogging sensation of Florida State’s fashion scene, the lack of time seems not only understandable, but expected.
“
Zachary Aaron Goldstein is a Jazz Piano Performance major at Florida State University. He is fluent in French, and (from what I’ve been told…) cooks like a god – although I still haven’t gotten the opportunity to prove it for myself. He’s wearing a perfectly fitted navy blazer over a white and blue plaid button-down shirt, a black knitted tie [bold move], paired with bright green chinos, a pair of suede wingtips, and a red pocket square: 100 points for execution.
I wanted to showcase great outfits in a real, human way. Give all the people that put time into their look a place to shine – the excitement that comes along with the hunting is a bonus.
”
Goldstein started working as the Photo Editor of the FSView this semester. This put him, along with his partner, Riley, in charge of coordinating all photography material for the newspaper and website. On the side, he recently started a campus/street-style blog called Seminole Threadline. Scott Schuman once said that shooting The Sartorialist lets him “fall in love a little bit every day.” 68According to Zach, this was his main reason behind the start of the blog.
When we start talking about food, there is no going back. “I’ve always been welcomed in the kitchen,” he admits. Cooking with his mom, whom he describes as “an excellent cook,” allowed him to start developing his culinary skills from early on. “The freedom of creation that comes along with learning (and eventually mastering) of a technique is what makes cuisine so much fun for me.” Eating has the power to trigger powerful emotions and memories; eating his mom’s lentil soup does exactly that. To him, food is a universal binding element, “the emotional glue that holds people together.”
“
I can’t see myself with someone
who doesn’t appreciate food as much as I do
”
It’s clear that Goldstein is a man of many passions. Whether he will pursue a career in photojournalism, open a farm-to-table restaurant, or even take Alan Richman’s job as GQ’s food critic, is yet to be seen. We don’t know if he’ll end up living in Paris, New York, or Chicago. 69 Only one thing is for sure: none of these plans sound bad at all…

A new generation of well-dressed gentlemen
By: Carlos Kempff Let’s talk about menswear. For the past several years, we’ve been seeing a switch in the attitudes of the straight male population from “I don’t care about clothes,” to “let me see that velvet jacket, again?” For this stylish transition to a society of fashion-conscious men, we can thank menswear bloggers. Here’s a roundup of our favorites:

Spring into fitness Quick and Easy Ways to Tone Your Manly Self By Jordan Dixon
Now that a brand new year is upon us, it’s a great time to get your body ready for spring. So gents, here are a few basic moves to add to your workout routine that will help you achieve a more fit, toned body. For the best results, repeat these four moves a total of three times each.
Bicycles: Lay flat on your back with your knees bent and hands behind your head. Do a crunch by moving your right elbow to your left knee, and bringing your knee into your chest. Keep your right leg straight and slightly lifted off the ground. Repeat with your opposite knee and elbow. Do 20 reps.
Swimmers: Lay on your stomach with your arms and legs straight. Lift your right arm and left leg, and hold for 10 seconds. Switch (raise your opposite arm and leg). Alternate this motion for 20 reps.
1. 2. 3.

get your trim on [Your go-to guide for Tallahassee’s haircut hotspots] By: Nicola Wood Going away to college brings with it many new obstacles, like cooking without setting the house on fire, or deciding if it’s a good idea to go clubbing on a Thursday night. However, there are many challenges of living in a new city that don’t reveal themselves until the school year is underway, like finding a good hairdresser. Here in Tallahassee, there are a number of places to get a fabulous wash, cut, and color.
Synergy offers services with either a Level 1, 2, or 3 stylist, with a Level 3 being the most affordable. Located on quaint Thomasville Road.
1.Aveda: $12 wash, cut & blow dry http://avedaflorida.com/services/ Aveda Salon is by far the cheapest place to get a quality hairstyle, but keep in mind that all services are performed by students of the Institute, so they may take a bit longer than an ordinary salon. We suggest booking a morning appointment to avoid the crowd.
2.Supercuts: $19 wash & cut, $25 wash, cut & blow dry http://www.supercuts.com/ Supercuts is a great place to go for a quick trim - you will be in and out in around 25 minutes. Join their email list for $1 coupons every 6 weeks.
3.Synergy: $25-$40 wash, cut & style http://www.synergysalontallahassee.com/ Welcome.html
4.Hair on Earth: $45 wash, cut & blow dry http://www.haironearth.info/default.html
Hair on Earth is a boutique salon that offers the latest in hair trends, like Ombre, Balayage effect, and a new Bumble and Bumble hair treatment, which produces similar effects to Keratin, but with less damage. Visit their website for a $10 coupon on your first haircut.
5.Haute Headz: $50-$95 cut http://www.hauteheadzsalon.com/home. html
The priciest of the bunch, Haute Headz offers services with stylists, senior stylists, advanced stylists, or master stylists, similar to Synergy. Since 1990, Haute Headz has been dedicated to providing the best experience possible, so you are sure to enjoy your appointment from beginning to end.

that’s mine! monogramming & GIFTS
What is the story behind how your business got started? That’s Mine grew from a love of all things personalized. I began monogramming at home for friends and family just for fun. I soon outgrew my embroidery room at home and was monogramming day and night. It was with a great leap of faith two and a half years ago, that I opened That’s Mine. I think that you know you have found your calling when your passion turns into a career. What is your favorite thing about owning the store? Our customers!! We have the best customers at That’s Mine and I enjoy helping them find the perfect gift...or just a little something that’s theirs. How did you come up with the name? Knowing that our focus would be personalization, I began brainstorming what a monogram means and why people monogram their belongings. It then came to me suddenly...I monogram my items to show ownership (to make it mine) thus That’s Mine was born. What is your favorite piece in the store right now? The monogrammed clutches! We have several different styles but my favorite at the moment is the straw clutch with a fun “pop of color” trim.
88
Where do you get your inspiration from when deciding which items to offer to your customers? When selecting merchandise for the store, I first and foremost look for items screaming for a monogram in fun patterns and colors. We spend many hours researching items that we ourselves would love to have or find useful.
