ASOS Contrast Lace and Velvet … curated on LTK

On how she went from jewelry designer to personal stylist to starting her blog to RewardStyle: “‘If I could just prove to Neiman Marcus that someone bought that bag online, they already pay me commission offline, I want them to pay me commission for the online sale!’ And so we put together what we called RewardStyle and it was basically that same concept. The same business terms that I'd always had with these stores but just tracking online sales so we started building it out at that point and that is where it all started.” http://liketk.it/2qA8f @liketoknow.it #liketkit

"It’s impossible not to love everything @dannijo makes and the best part is that I don’t feel the need to give up too much in order to afford one of their pieces. Ever since spring has sprung I’ve been stopping by Trader Joe’s after work to pick up a $5.99 bouquet. But since there are more flowers blooming every day, I’m willing to give that habit up in order to afford the necklace of my sunny dreams—the Tempest Multi Strand Choker—that I hope looks as good on me as it does on @kaiagerber (or on the photo of her at least)." — @tarigonzalez #livingofframen

"Although it requires me to temporarily stop going to @savinggraceto (I'm secretly heartbroken), I'm all for giving up my weekend brunches if it means I get to sport these crazy amazing @givenchyofficial aviators this summer."— @jodtaylor #livingofframen

Meet the skirt @jodtaylor is giving up sushi for: "I have a mild (okay, strong) addiction to sushi, but I am willing to temporarily give it all up so that I can instead put my $$$ towards this buttery-smooth and beautiful @eckhaus_latta midi skirt. Come to mama." #livingofframen

Meet the oil that’s saving one editor’s breakout-prone skin: "My skin has issues, and, consequently, I'm deathly afraid of breakouts. That means for the most part, I stay far away from oils. What that also means is my skin is scary dry, especially in the winter—It's bad. But @truebotanicals Pure Radiance Oil has honestly cured me of all my skin-related phobias: I put it on at night and no more breakouts, no more dry skin. ~Magic~"— @emilyjramshaw

"Without fail, the last thing I do before walking out the door is spray a little @TomFord Neroli Portofino on my neck and wrists. You could call it my transportive Italian Riveria security blanket." — @noahleh #desertislandbeauty

“I love decorating with coffee table books, and even more and more guys like [Coveteur] and friends and clients are creating their own books! I have this gallery wall of books, and some of my favorite art is in there.”

“We also opened our Shanghai office in the last year. In Asia the platforms are different and the influencers are quite different—the landscape is very different, but China is already about 20% of our business. So that has become an increasingly important space for us." http://liketk.it/2qAaL @liketoknow.it #liketkit

“I had found a cool place in Australia it had something somewhat similar to these hands, so I just saved it to use for this space. This space is called The Early Bird, and it's basically our little coffee shop but it's free food for employees. We ordered the hands on Amazon and we ordered those bulbs through Urban Outfitters and we literally drilled holes in the hands and ran it up through the ceiling. It was a DIY project.”

“rewardStyle is our second home and the people on our team are our second family and we wanted Birdie to feel like she had a dedicated place in that world as well.“
#liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2qA9Y

“When Birdie was born, I was not able to take a real maternity leave and we also did not have any private spaces at the office for me to handle all of the lovely personal medical upkeep that comes with having a baby. We built this new office when she was first born and having a beautiful mother's room was a top priority for me. Now we have many expecting mothers, including myself, and we are all looking forward to having a thoughtful private space that makes the motherhood to work transition more comfortable and convenient.”

“When RewardStyle was first founded, Baxter had an incubator called Nasty Goat. Nasty Goat was his pet name from football when he was little. He created this not thinking the name Nasty Goat was going anywhere it was just holding company for all these little start ups he had been working on. RewardStyle was the one pet project that turned into something, and so until about a year ago actually everyone's checks said 'From Nasty Goat Corporation,' and if I called you it would say Nasty Goat was calling. So once that was put to rest we named our internal bar 'The Goat' kinda as a nod to that, but the word G.O.A.T. is also Greatest of All Time. But it's really about Nasty Goat and it's the last remnant of that name.” http://liketk.it/2qA8S @liketoknow.it #liketkit

"A face mask that takes 20-30 seconds? Sign me up. I gave this @boscia mask a 10/10 following my first use and it has since become a staple in my skincare regime."—@jodtaylor #desertislandbeauty

"Thanks to @Albert, this finance app I probably found via a cleverly-placed ad on here, I've been saving $$ each week without even noticing. And when it all adds up I know exactly what I’ll be spending it on: this @Prada bag in a can’t-quit-it shade of red. Go finance!" http://liketk.it/2qnDu

"It’s a long story, but I’ve found myself, in my late 20s, living with my parents again. It’s not ideal. But it’s temporary. The saving grace is that I come home after work every day to a stocked fridge and dinner already ready. The other (and probably best) consequence of not having to pay my mortgage is having a big chunk of extra change in my bank account. Which is why I’m finally pulling the trigger and getting these longtime-coveted satin @manoloblahnikhq flats. Now...I just have to pick a color. Thoughts?" — @noahleh

"The second I laid eyes on this @off____white Binder Clip Shoulder Bag, I knew it had to be mine. I'm already daydreaming of the outfits I can wear it with (all of them), and you better bet that yellow industrial strap is being worn as a belt most days. I would give up Uber for two months, all in the name of this bag."

"The name of this @urbandecaycosmetics product—Self Adjusting Complexion Primer—is an accurate description of what it does: rub some between your fingers and you’ll see it transform into the exact shade of your skin tone. I kid you not, this stuff is genius. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to an IRL beauty filter, and it leaves your skin feeling soft like butter instead of tacky." —@emilyjramshaw #desertislandbeauty

"These @Ellery boots are red and pretty and will last way longer than a bowl of kale. Which is why I'm willing to live off ramen noodles *and* give up my @Sweetgreen habit (70 salads to be exact) just to call them my own." — @aliciacesaro #livingofframen

"When you have multiple people ask you in a day if your (normally short & nonexistent) eyelashes are real, you know the mascara you used is one you should hold on to forever & never let go. That's exactly how I feel about @benefit's OG formula, They're Real!" — @aliciacesaro #desertislandbeauty

“I spend most of my time in the living room, just because I like to read and sit down and write. I like it because it’s the most open room with the fireplace, and it’s the most comfortable. I lived in tiny spaces most of my life in New York so I don’t like to stay in those often. If [I could choose a] second room, it would probably be the red room, which is where our library television is. Katie says, ‘Oh, don’t call it the red room, it’s such a cliché.’ Well, the walls are red! And it’s a room!” http://liketk.it/2pTXe @liketoknow.it #liketkit

“I like Richard Prince’s early, early work, like, The Man Looking at His Watch Three Different Ways. I prefer the joke paintings, the Marlboro guys. I love the nurse paintings, but… it was just that I fell in love with things that were not important. It’s just trusting that if you really like it, it is okay, as long as you don’t spend a ton of money on stupid stuff.” http://liketk.it/2pTX1 @liketoknow.it #liketkit

“[If you’re new to collecting art], go to all the art bookstores you can, like Printed Matter, Six Decade Books, Mass Books, the Gagosian book shop. Shows are few and far between. You can obviously go to all the museum shows and find a medium you’re interested in or relate to more. Because I can’t paint, I just related to conceptual paint more. I was in advertising and I had ideas, but I couldn’t technically do anything [laughs]. I just discovered this whole world out there through picking up Art Forum.” http://liketk.it/2pTWK @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Inside Andy and Kate Spade's NYC home: “Genieve Figgis is kind of becoming famous now; she’s still an up-and-coming artist. She shows at Half Gallery, and now she’s getting some bigger shows. I have two or three of her paintings, she’s really good. Karen Cohen is very well-known now, I still love her. There’s a photographer Alec Soth I really love, he’s getting really well-known. I love Jason Nocito, another photographer who's young and up-and-coming; Tim Barber is another. I follow a lot of photographers.” http://liketk.it/2pTWs @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Inside Andy and Kate Spade's NYC apartment: “We had a friend that designed the first Jack Spade store with me, and I loved his work. He did some editing studies I’ve worked in. In the past, I really liked his ideas, so he worked with us on the apartment. We have some Prouve furniture, there are Chinese pieces in here, there are some Tibetan pieces, some French pieces, some English pieces, and we just kind of worked with our friend Steven [Sclaroff] on what looked good together. When every piece is something you like, it somehow works out, you know? [laughs]” http://liketk.it/2pTWd @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Inside Andy and Kate Spade's Manhattan home: “I’ve collected early drawings and paintings—I really like unfinished paintings, portraits, and things like that. I never liked kitsch—that was never my thing—but I would like things that are beautifully done that were not finished, like a canvas with a lot of white space.” http://liketk.it/2pTVM @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Inside Andy & Kate Spade's NYC apartment: "We found an apartment that was available. We really liked the bones of it, and because it’s on a corner, we have light on both sides. It felt like our loft downtown. We moved up and never had lived up here, never had spent time here, but ended up loving it and having our daughter up here [on the Upper East Side]. It’s a nice way to get to the suburbs without going to the suburbs, in my opinion.” http://liketk.it/2pTVt @liketoknow.it #liketkit

"This is the absolute best thing in the world to fix dark circles. I've tried EVERYTHING and @diormakeup Fix It 2-In-1 Prime & Colour Correct in Apricot blows anything else out of the water. The orange perfectly cancels out purple hues, and the moisturizing core keeps the skin around my eyes hydrated. I cannot live without this stuff." —lapantin
