It's Meant to Axl & B

This weekend is the Handmade Holidays vintage, fashion, and art sale at Strictly Locals here in Chicago! It's the perfect way to finish last minute gift shopping and support local talent.


I'm specifically recommending you stop by to see Chicago by-way-of-LA designer Claire Cole and her line of exquisite handmade cuffs named Axl & B.  Claire uses vintage materials and unique trinkets to fashion her one of a kind pieces.

Ms. Cole is also the beautiful model in these pictures! 

Axl & B has prices starting at $15, which is truly a steal. You can pick up a cuff for everyone stylish on your list.

Now presenting, photos that made me so happy I did a little dance in my living room. My friend Beth completely made magic in front of the lens.

I've been wanting to do a shoot at this particular laundry mat for quite some time. It's just got such character. Could have gotten awkward fast, but we had the whole place to ourselves.


So what's the main fashion takeaway from this post? Long live the bun! The hair bun, that is. Completely my favorite up-do of all time.
