StyleCaster interviews the 6 up-and-coming models from their most recent editorial shoot ‘Face Value’ shot by photographer and Stylist, Frances Tulk Hart.
…That I love this. I’m only on chapter five of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and it’s getting too high-level hippie, but the idea of turning off my mind’s stream-of-consciousness dribble, and the logic of there being nothing more than now, is powerful.
Still, I promise “The Secret” will never mean more to me than what you told me you did that night in college…
I’ve always hated iPhone condoms, and I imagine Jobs Almighty’s intelligent, perfect design makes them sinful. But the iPhone 4 — for which I waited an eternity for in line at Apple’s Soho store — feels too holy to roll around naked in my Hermes Herbag. When the Barely There iPhone 4 case with credit card slots is back in stock, I’m buying one.
I’ve hunted for a good way digitalize my snail mail for ages. Earth Class Mail is the best known online postal mail service, but last I checked everyone hates Earth Class Mail for its slowness and price. Zumbox wants to effectively give every brick-and-mortar mailbox its own email address, but then your traditional mail problems — receiving junk and having to change your address — just get digitalized.
Virtual Post Mail is the first online postal mail service to make sense. You’re stuck with an address in Walnut, CA — no, I didn’t move north — but you’ll receive your mail fast and securely. You log into VirtualPostMail.com –which vibes like Apple’s Me.com — to see scans of the front and back of your mail. You can then have your mail opened and scanned, forwarded, shredded, or some combination of the three. While using VirtualPostMail, I received a bajillion-page document, and Virtual Post Mail actually called to ask if I wanted it scanned or shipped overnight. (Service? Go fig.) Virtual Post Mail is a perfect way to get the privacy of a PO box with the convenience of email, and convince ex-toyfriends you moved to Walnut.
Manolo says, the loss of the hat as the fashion accessory elevates the shoes to the place of prominence? This theory is so simple and elegant, it must be true.
After a novel’s worth of broken English emails with Alstermo Bruk’s customer service, a wire transfer to a Swedish bank, and a brand new Zero Halliburton carry-on suitcase, what do I do with my Alstermo Bruk suitcase now?
I’ve a thing for classic hardcase luggage — it romanticizes an era when the journey was supposed to be as glamorous as the destination.
I usually carry-on Alstermo Bruk, handcrafted Swedish luggage that’s similar to Globe-Trotter — it’s essentially a fancy, empty, expensive cardboard box.
But I’ve always loved Rimowa, which has more function and as much form as Alstermo and Globe-Trotter. German goods store Manufactum collab’ed with Rimowa on a special-edition “Topas” suitcase that revives details from the original 1950′s “Topas” suitcases: handles made of cowhide, polished corner reinforcements, and black Rimowa-branded lining…
