1. Ok, a new section here.  Photographs by Mr. Tellmewherethisis (as usual), but the piece is written by the amazing and charming Karen Kozlowski.  Formerly known as the Fashion Director of Real Simple Magazine, now directing all things fabulous and the queen of the late morning fitness trend.  Find all of her musings at kkisthenewblack.com.  And don’t forget to check out more images from the shoot here.

    This is our friend Clare Vivier, founder and designer of CLAREVIVIER, a line of stylishly simple and super cool handbags that transcend trendiness. Her enviable aesthetic is not only reflected in her collection, but in her personal style and her enchanting Echo Park home—where she recently hosted us and our daughter— that is filled with tons of interesting and cool things.  I like to think of her as “Vivier the Visionaire!”

    I am lucky enough to own four of Clare’s bags and one of her wrist wraps.  This past Fall, I featured the navy Messenger Tote and her silver Wrist Wrap in Real Simple Magazine and the readers loved them. 

    Here Clare is customizing one of her Messenger Totes for me. It’s unofficially called the “kk” and will be a slightly more adorned version. We played around with gold and black studs but the finished design will be a surprise, and I can’t wait to see it.
