You know one of my favourite looks is the "hi-lo" - where you mix and match different pieces from different designers and definitely different price points. For example, you might pair a vintage inspired leather motorcycle jacket from John Varvatos with an amazingly soft, airy v-neck tshirt from Martin + Osa, with some distressed denim from Guess, with your favourite suede boots.
But,
Martin + Osa takes the "hi-lo" to an entirely new level, giving you the
highest quality, design, and style with the
lowest pricepoint. There are few and far between who can give such an amazing design aesthetic while still being mindfull of your wallet.
Be sure to visit Martin + Osa's popup shop at 59th and 5th for one day only - TODAY. And whether or not you're in NYC, shop your local M+O store or click through the website and take advantage of ALL CASHMERE for US$79. (and when you use my special promotional code 99400044, you'll save an additional 30% off your purchase until 20 September).
No matter where you live - make tonight your Fashion Night Out. Start your holiday shopping early. Treat yourself. Buy something! Anything! (just don't be tacky and return it all later)
