What: A cool cuff contraption that reminds us of a classic Vogue editorial

Bibbed by: Talia A

How much: 90 bucks

Why: Ever since watching “In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye” on HBO, we’ve had striking editorial imagery running through our minds on repeat. As Camilla Nickerson explained, her controversial 1995 Helmut Newton collaboration, “High & Mighty,” got the magazine into a bit of hot water, but it’s permanently saved in our inspiration folders nevertheless. As with most high fashion editorials, opportunities to channel these looks in our everyday lives were slim to none—until this full arm cuff came along. No handlers (or sky-high stilettos) need apply.

Even though the city is always moving forward at breakneck pace, it only takes a bit of looking to find snippets of the city’s rich history, as seen in Dustin Cohen’s The Shoemaker.

CC_friendshipbracelets

What: A set of woven and beaded bracelets that trigger some serious nostalgia

Bibbed by: Sari Azout

How much: 120 bucks

Why: Whether you were a summer camp kid growing up or just lived vicariously through ’90s sitcoms, movies, and Mariah Carey videos, there are potent memories attached to childhood summers. Bonfires, tire swings, and nonsense songs are all part and parcel of these recollections, but sartorially, we generally feel less inclined to bring back the oversize t-shirt and bike shorts look. On the other hand, these friendship bracelets (handmade by Bib + Tuck co-founder Sari Azout), embellished with silver and pearls, feel like an upscale take on the ones we spent hours on as kids. Reminiscent of the past, but modern enough to use as a pop of color with future outfits—we’re totally on board.

JB_braidedWhile we tend to think of them as an easy fix for bad hair day, braids are anything but basic—especially throughout fashion history. This morning, we’re checking out Refinery29′s braid history story for inspiration before tackling our own manes.

NN_florals

Now that spring is officially here, we’re dying to break out some florals—even though there’s still snow on the ground. The perennial urge to cloak ourselves in flowered fabric is hardly a novel one, though. Ornate fabrics mimicking the natural beauty of vines and blooms were considered in vogue as far back as the Middle Ages, when they made their way into Europe via Middle Eastern traders. Luckily, florals can be found just about anywhere these days, with enough variety to suit just about any style. All we need now is a bit of truly springy weather.

One thing Bib + Tuck has really helped me with is finding some really excellent heels in my size (all my size 10 girls say Haaaay!!). This usually takes me forever (read: never) when I’m second-handing or shopping consignment, but this time around, Anna came to my rescue and made these Jeffrey Campbell booties tuckable! I’ve been wearing these guys almost on the regular since they arrived, usually with denim or leather somewhere within the ensemble to work with the western-inspired details on the boots, but this time I tried playing up some borrowed-from-the-boyfriend vibes with an oversized blazer and hoodie with a swipe of red lipstick to keep the edgy femininity.
