LNA Loves Horses

LNA is Lauren Alexander and April Leight. Beginning with the idea of creating the perfect men’s inspired t-shirt for women, their brand has since evolved into producing full, seasonal collections and garnering a loyal celebrity following from Kate Moss to Ryan Gosling. Beyond the coverage in Vogue, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar, the really cool part is that Lauren is also a horse girl, spending her childhood riding competing at the likes of the old Indio circuit in Palm Springs and Devon.

In addition to being native Californians immersed in west coast style, Lauren says her time in the horse world has always influenced her creatively  - the first LNA collection, for example, included an equestrian inspired legging. For ss13, the girls featured a photo of a friend’s horse on a this totally hot tee and Coachella-ready sweatshirt, which have turned out to be the collection favorites. “There’s something very regal and free about a horse which is why I think we are so drawn to them. On a side note, I just realized I’m wearing the horse tee as a write this!”

What Would Daisy Do?

Who’s going to see Baz Luhrmann’s 3-D and fueled by Jay-Z adaption of The Great Gatsby this weekend? And, more importantly, who thinks Daisy Buchanan would wear this vintage cameo horse necklace by Mars & Valentine? We do.

A stunning white horse head cameo adorns the center piece ensconced in a sterling silver horseshoe.  Mother of pearls and faceted black topaz highlight the center piece and all hang from a double chain of black topaz beads. $340.

We love when Lilo Navales, owner and designer of Lilo of Spain, sends us an update of her new products… especially handbags! Lilo is well-known for her leather goods and has always been on the front of the tack-inspired handbag trend.

For SS 2013, Lilo has introduced the Savannah Collection, made of natural jute fibers with pink and brown leather accents – and of course her signature stirrup.
