With the site re-launch I’ve decided that I want to talk about the stuff I love, but also provide readers with a real take-away. They say that 2012 is the year of the entrepreneur so I’m going to frequently profile great start-ups and tell the stories of how they turned nothing into something. Each profile will end with 5-6 tips from the entrepreneurs themselves on how to successfully launch your own biz. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do myself, and I’m sure you have dreamed of running your own empires as well. I’m going to focus primarily on the tech world, a space that fascinates me to no end. So, with that said lets dive right into it!
This past week I had the pleasure of meeting Amy Jain and Daniella Yacobovsky, the co-founders of Bauble Bar, one of my favorite online shopping destinations. My stylist April got me hooked on the line a little over a year ago with a dazzling pair of drop-earrings that cost $44 or something ridiculously affordable like that. Some of my current faves are right here:
The girls were finishing up at Harvard Business School and decided they would rather work for themselves then go back into finance. With strong business back-grounds and great contacts, they were able to take their idea of creating an online shopping destination that sold affordable jewelry exclusively and successfully raised $1.1 million in series A financing so that they could officially launch.
Over a year later, Bauble Bar is one of the hottest jewelry e-commerce sites out there. The fashion and celebrity community loves them too…their pieces have been featured on Vogue.com, in InStyle Magazine and seen on bright young things like Zoe Saldana.
6 Start-Up Tips from Amy and Daniella
That’s it for the first Entrepreneurs Profile! Congratulations to Amy and Daniella, two of my new friends in fashion!
I’ve always been into this one.
Now that we’ve re-launched I’m introducing a series called Weekly Wonders that will highlight that best stuff I’ve uncovered in the past week. It’ll be a mish-mash of great food, fun websites, fantastic products and anything else that I love and want to share.
This week we have: a series of underwater dog photos by artist Seth Casteel that are going viral at this very moment, a look at artist Katie Rodgers’ (and designer of The Lo Down) fantastic site PaperFashion, and finally the best stackable rings I’ve found on Etsy to date.
Underwater Dog Photography by Seth Casteel
Simply put, these photographs are fantastic. Seth does a great job of capturing light, movement and emotion here. His site is down at the moment because of a traffic overload, so check out his Facebook page instead. Enjoy!
PaperFashion
I started working with Katie over a year ago when we met through her Etsy shop online. I was looking for a fashion illustrator and after days of searching I found the best. Her illustrations are magical, colorful, playful works. She has her own blog that I absolutely adore. Check out all her stuff here at PaperFashion. The picture at the top of the first Weekly Wonders post is her work as well.
Gold Stackable Rings by Secret Charm
Secret Charm is a lovely Etsy shop. I love thin, stackable rings-especially high-quality ones that don’t cost a zillion dollars. I’ve been wearing a set of stackable diamond rings for the past few years and recently added a set of thin, hammered gold rings from this Etsy shop to my digits. The owner lives in the UK, so they take a few weeks to arrive…but the wait is definitely worth it. The set of 10 rings pictured cost $85 and you can grab them here!
I’m dead on the floor for any kind of jewelry decorated with opulent gemstones.
These Oscar de la Renta baubles fit the bill and are cool enough to adorn your winter wear.
Congrats, SoulCycle! The request to have all of your New York fitness freaks send their west coast peeps an invitation for a free class at the brand new Los Angeles SoulCycle has worked. I’ll be there soon to spin my heart out and sweat the fat off of my ass. Considering Coachella is right around the corner, SoulCycle is tots going to be my new after-work hang spot…
This WEEKLY ANTHEM is brought to you by DJ Jilly Hendrix. Check her shiz out on Twitter and at jillyhendrix.com.
I came across OSiS Dust It Mattifying Powder by accident. I was at my parent’s house, too lazy to wash my hair and went on a search in my mother’s bathroom drawers for dry shampoo. I found a small red bottle, noted that it was filled with powder and thought that I had scored.
Turns out I had, but in an unexpected way. What I found was NOT dry shampoo, but this amazingly ridiculous powdery stuff that gives your hair so much body and texture that you don’t even know what to do with it. This stuff basically gives your hair that sexy, tousled, teased look without taking a comb to your roots. It’s like the most amazing hairspray in the world, minus the sticky spray.
I can’t live without this powder. I use it almost everyday and every single time I do a textured up-do, loose curls or piece-y straight hair that looks like I just got out of bed.
FYI: This is the first post in a new series all about beauty that I’m tentatively naming “Lo’s Beauty Palace“. I know that inside jokes are supposed to be kept on the inside, but since you’re my homies too I’m welcoming all of you to the Palace as well.
Turns out, I’m pretty awesome at doing hair and make-up. I started learning about different products and how to use them in elementary school, mixing up my own potions and applying them carefully in the mirror while sitting in the bathroom sink. My sister started this joke about going to “Lo’s Beauty Palace” a few years ago and it’s snowballed into a term that all of my girlfriends use when they want me to do them up for nights on the town. So there’s the explanation. Now, get ready for minds to be blown!
