There's A Collina Strada New York City Sample Sale, And You Should Go!

Collina Strada (the alter ego of designer Hillary Taymour) has been one of my favorite indie brands for a few years and counting. (I met her at the Of A Kind sample sale last year and pretty much blurted out I LOVE YOU HAVE BABIES WITH ME like she was Lady Gaga or something. Then I scampered away making a derp face, because I'm a dork. REAL COOL, TAMRON! Smooth move, Ex Lax.)

Anyway, Hillary's been crafting mathematically leaning leather and cloth bags with geometrical leather accents and otherworldly canvas, and she recently ventured into understated yet edgy apparel.

I bought this bb from Dear Fieldbinder (could I please live there, by the way? I promise I'll do the dishes!) in 2011, and it's still one of my favorite bags.

Anyway, New Yorkers, go hit up the Collina Strada sample sale from Jan 3 - 6 at Eva New York. Everyone else, check out Of A Kind's Collina Strada stock.

Get Mocium's Black Cut Diamond Earrings Before They're Gone Forever And You're Stuck With Regret

Mocium's quietly asymmetrical black diamond earrings are the best smaller-than-a-dime objects I've seen all week. Get 'em while you still can since there are only 20 pairs at Of A Kind. 

$260, Mocium x OfAKind.com

And by the way, if you haven't heard of Of A Kind, you need to devote the rest of your day and bank account to it immediately. It's all perfectly curated clothing and accessories created in teeny, tiny batches by designers you wish were your IRL friends (like Sarah Francis Kahn -- I profiled her about her cool SFK camera straps for Of A Kind). I also like to call Of A Kind "Oh Fuck," because every time I scroll through the site I'm all "Oh fuck. I want that. Oh fuck. I want that too. FUCK." You've been warned.
