80%20 featured in Highsnobette’s Best of 2012

During the flurry of New Year’s eve hugs, kisses, and texts, I received a email from a friend congratulating me for making it to High Snobette’s Best of 2012 list. Most of you may know their related menswear blog sites such as Selectism and High Snobiety. Here’s what they had to say….

“80%20 Original Hidden Wedge—while a lot of credit for the hidden wedge movement is given to the talented Isabel Marant, truth be told it was New-York designer Ce Ce Chin, who first launched the modern day version of the concept. Our favorite style this year was the smart ‘Pepper’ wedge ankle boot, though we also adored the brand’s ‘Edie’, not a wedge, rather an open-toed loafer that speaks to Chin’s finesse for staying one innovative step ahead of the competition”.

Callie Boot Featured in The Marcy Stop Blog

We love The Marcy Stop , a project from photographer Micol Cortese and her muse Lauren Gould. They celebrate their experiences living and swapping clothes in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — just off the Marcy stop of the JMZ subway line.

In fact we collaborated with The Marcy Stop for Holiday and Resort look book images, and that was so much fun…

Recently The Marcy stop posted images of Lauren’s outfit celebrating her 28th birthday, and she’s wearing our Callie boots… To see the entire spread, click here.

Happy Birthday Lauren!!!
