The Introduction: Katie Ermilio for Steven Alan

I adore Katie Ermilio’s incredible dresses, but they don’t exactly fit into my day-to-day life. Luckily for all of us, Katie has collaborated with Steven Alan on an American made capsule collection. I want every item… but will probably settle for the neoprene sweatshirt.

Shinola x Bruce Weber

A little late to the game on this, but I’m in love with the current Shinola campaign, shot by Bruce Weber and starring Carolyn Murphy – who is apparently an American made enthusiast and is now a design director for Shinola! – and local Detroit residents.

Read more about the campaign… and check out this video!

Rebecca Atwood – The Williamson Collection

Rebecca Atwood – The Williamson Collection

Rebecca Atwood launched her new collection this week… celebrating one year since her initial collection launch! Becca’s pillows are some of my favorite things (and Becca herself is the sweetest!) and I’ve loved watching her collection evolve and grow… this new collection is gorgeous and makes me wish we had more couches.

The Future of Furniture : West Elm
hint… West Elm thinks the future just may be local. I love to see a traditional brand focus – realistically and empathetically – on American made and local production! Looks like most of the local products are on the West Elm Blog for now… check it out!

How The New Potato Became The Coveteur of Food Blogs

Loved this interview with Laura & Danielle Kosann of The New Potato, one of my favorite blogs. Great advice and insight into how they started and where they are taking TNP!

Surviving Surviving Jack

Justin Halpern (Sh*t My Dad Says) walks us through how TV shows get made – and what he learned from making the Shit My Dad Says TV show. I love his inside – and honest- perspective into the network television process.

One Kings Lane : The weekly click list

Such an honor to be called out by one of my favorite shopping destinations!

I’ve been a fan of Alex Yeske’s blog, Dreams + Jeans, for a long time… She’s got an awesome streamlined aesthetic and is an amazing photographer (check out her insta!). Alex is a graphic designer for Madewell and turned me on to their new American-made line of denim, Rivet & Thread, which I hope to check out soon. Read on for her American made picks (including some TAE favorites!)… Thanks, Alex!

brvtvs small vectis earrings

I’m obsessed with everything Caroline Ventura does (just check her out on instagram) and her jewelry line is one of my favorites. It’s so simple and delicate and easy to layer with. And I love knowing that she makes each piece by hand!

rag & bone skinny jeans

I took the plunge into Rag & Bone jeans two years ago and am so in love with their black high rise skinny jeans. They are the perfect black jeans and so worth the investment.

I am lucky to call Rebecca a friend and am so inspired by everything she does. Her line of handmade textiles is so beautiful and her passion inspires me to do more!

saturdays nyc candle

I secretly wish I was a surfer and Saturdays helps me dress the part. I love their signature candle, made in collaboration with Baxter. It’s a woodsy, gender-neutral scent and it looks great in our apartment.

kiehl’s

I love that Kiehl’s is such an NYC icon (I actually live down the street from the original store!) and I am a recent addict to a few of their products. I am partial to their Ultra Facial CleanserMidnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Repair Eye Cream
