Here’s everything that is inspiring us this month!
Leave it to Marc Jacobs to make a grungy toilet look really cool.
The Fourth of July falls in the middle of the week this year, making it incredibly annoying for trying to sneak anywhere for a long weekend. So we recommend just taking the whole damn week off and going to the beach. To help you pack, we’ve gathered up 10 cute beach bags–many of which are Read more →
Theme dressing for a holiday can be tricky. You want to be festive, but not costume-y. It’s especially challenging on the Fourth of July when you have to work with not only red, white and blue, but also stars and stripes. That’s a whole lot going on in one outfit. So if you’d rather look Read more →

We love this look–and so do designers. Everyone from Rachel Roy to Matthew Ames to Marc by Marc Jacobs experimented with it. But it’s not the easiest to pull off. How will you style your below-the-knee skirt?
Katie Hillier has had a career most could only dream of. Designing accessories at Luella, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and working as a contributor and senior-editor at POP, Katie’s resume is a fashion wonder.
But it was only recently that the British designer turned her sights on a different goal: creating her own label. Fresh on the heels of her win as Accessories Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2009, Katie set to work on Hillier, her eponymous jewelry line.
Mixing luxury with fun, Hillier is adorable, unexpected, and highly covetable. Click through for our convo with Katie.
Thanks to reader Kaitlyn for sending over this AIC tip which pretty much blew our minds. Marc by Marc is often knocked off but this one takes the cake. Lori’s, a shoe store that bills themselves as the “sole of Chicago,” is selling a bag they’re calling “High Fashion” that is almost indistinguishable from the Marc by Marc ‘Petal to the Metal’ Flap Pouchette, save the price. Lori’s “High Fashion sling across” bag is $128 and the real thing is $228.
A reader sent in this tip–a Forever 21 T-shirt that says a bunch of nonsense in the exact same font and design as this Marc by Marc tote. We thought this was such a strange thing to copy.
The tote bag is not even part of the main Marc by Marc collection, but a $28 “special item” available only at Marc by Marc stores alongside condoms and key chains. The tongue-in-cheek label hilariously reads “Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs.” The Forever 21 Tee says something about “heritage” and “California” and blah blah blah.
It’s Fourth of July weekend. That means no work, the beach, picnics, fireworks, family, and friends. But it’s also a celebration of the birth of the United States. What better way to recognize our independence than to wear the national colors?
Oh, yes, we recognize that red, white, and blue is not the easiest combination to pull off. So we’re offering some ideas that’ll keep you from looking like our favorite kook, Katy Perry.
