Spotted!

With the launch of our new Fall 2009 Collection today, we couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new season than with a “Spotted!” post.  Spotted today is Raych of That’s Chic wearing Darjeeling in Black & White.  Doesn’t she look striking?  We just LOVE the entire ensemble–the crinoline and Bandits worn over her lace-up black boots are perfection!  The Darjeelings are my current obsession, combining my two favorite things: bows & ikat!  Check them out in our new online shop. Thanks, Raych!!

After our successful Lazy Sunday BBQ and Shop Event at Space15Twenty, we were asked to come back for Blogger Shop Day 2 in early August.  This was on a larger scale–in fact, they moved the entire event to the parking lot in order to accommodate all the bloggers, designers and shoppers. We met fabulous people selling new and old gems and after just the first hour, we just couldn’t resist doing some shopping ourselves!

I love this image of this guy holding a motorcycle in one hand and a baby stroller in the other!

A motorcycle in one hand and a baby stroller in the other–I love it!

The exuberant Alexi Wasser from I’m Boy Crazy hosted the event and documented the day in the video below.  Check out Tamar and I lending our legs at the 1:25 mark!

I have found the perfect pair of boots and am so excited to share!  We also thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give you guys a sneak peak at a new style from our new Fall Collection.  But back to the boots.  These are Sendra Boots and they are a slice of heaven!  Sendra began in 1913 as a small family business in Spain and are known mostly for their cowboy boots.  With these boots, it was love at first touch and sight.  The tough, durability of the boots, combined with meticulous craftsmanship make a pair of Sendra Boots something to be worn and treasured.  I can’t wait to see how they age over time.  Have a gushed enough?  Check ‘em out:

Aren’t they gorgeous?  And they are even better with our new ‘CLYDE’ boot chain!  Made of solid brass chain, these are sold individually and are super fun to wear!  These will be available in just a few days in our shop.

The 2 Bandits are now available at Enid in Fredricksburg, Texas!  We were so excited when the owners Lara and Tim approached us, especially when we learned of their story.  Enid is named after Lara’s grandmother Enid Collins, a well-known handbag and accessory designer in the 50s-70s.  The store is inspired by her creativity and unique great style and features artists, craftsmen and designers, including their own collections of handmade furniture and jewelry. We can’t wait to visit it one day!
