bags for your vividbraille tee

we've checked out some of the spring handbags & picked out a few to pair up with your vividbraille tee's...

..::for the gentlemen::..

this token duffle caught my eye; functional & liking the worn effect

vividbraille tee pick: works of art

..::for the ladies::..

casual & functional - the portfolio

down for independent leather designer label HAUS leather - sick skills with leather crafting plus finest material used...this is definitely on my "lusting" list

vividbraille tee pick: good bye

out 'n about - canvas bag

i'm digging the canvas feel & contrasting colors on Skinny Vinny's Koda Grey bag

vividbraille tee pick: landlines

laid back night out - wristlet

i'm an avid & loyal HOBO fan & have a version of this wristlet myself...the leather only gets better when used & pockets in the inside are a lifesaver when fumbling through your purse at the end of the night ;)

vividbraille tee pick: contrast

old treasures, new accessories...nouveau motley

I'm the biggest sucker for accessories...especially those that stand out. So when I ran across the jewelry line nouveau motley I was captivated. I loved the line's idea of taking old treasures of era's before & presenting them in a functional & creative light. Blame it on the nostalgic sucker in me, but i've always had a minor obsession with antiques such as these & wondering about the stories behind both the objects & the people who owned them before.

"Steam Relic"

a necklace created by transforming parts from old antique pocket watches circa early 1800s...detail & etchings stand out in the simple & clean presentation.

Here ya go fella's...cufflinks that would make me look twice;)

Nude: Affordable & Risque...genius!

Loved this piece & bonus is it'll go great with any vividbraille shirt...

but especially projections...:

few thoughts on wonderland & fashion...

I hopped on the band wagon & checked out Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (AW). While it got mixed reviews, i can't hate on a film that embraces imagination so vividly...& costume designer Colleen Atwood kicked ass by portraying AW's message through fashion...

I was already concocting up a pair of fingerless gloves for spring, so loved seeing them repped in the film

dope armband

Toss up for my fave dress, but this red's on top of list

Sidenote (or pic, in this case): a ridiculous amount of fashion marketing piranhas (makeup lines included) have taken the looks of AW & turned it into mass marketing hysteria. So a note of caution - imitation is not always best...

always,

wearing your vividbraille swag in spring - for the ladies

We've put together a couple of looks for those who want to freshen up their spring look for those laid back days & crazy ass nights. Individuality is key, so if you have a favorite look with your tee, take a pic & shoot it on over to us at sales@vividbraille.com! We'd love to see how you represent Vividbraille on the streets!!
for your daytime spring stroll...

top ~ take your favorite Vividbraille tee (shown here: works of art):

bottom ~ i'm liking the bermuda length rock & republic Celsey style:

shoes ~ can't go wrong with flip flops, but if you want to mix it up a bit, these converse are my pick:

accessory ~ gotta grab the shades! I fell in love with these Ralph Vaessen sunglasses on Limited Hype's site, but I'm left dealing with a broken heart since they're just under $1,500.

for your alluring spring nights...

top ~ the low cut v neck on the Vividbraille seen & felt is perfect for night:

spicing it up ~ layer your tee on top of a cami (la perla shown); the hint of the bright red peaking from the edge of your shirt = hot

bottom ~ David Lerner has added details on his line of leggings (don't want to buy a new pair? grab scissors & shred away!)

shoes ~ Chinese Laundry's "Multiple" shoes have a 5" stiletto heel resting on a 1.5" platform. nuf said.

accessory ~ an oversized watch'll do. current crave? Michael Kors's 2010 collection in gold & white:
