on the rise

i have been searching for the perfect jean with the most comfortable rise and i have finally found it! 

i was lured in by all those j.crew sale emails and i stumbled upon the "midrise" jean. 

i had been looking for a pair of black jeans and with the discount i couldn't resist and i am so glad 

i didn't.low riding jeans have never been too practical (or comfortable) and i cannot handle 

the feel of a high rise jean unless it is a special occasion (and with a 70's flared leg). 

but seriously, these jeans are perfect. they hit above the hip and have a little bit of stretch. 

you can sit in them comfortably and your butt is not hanging out. 

dear j.crew, please keep this rise around!!!

liberty united X pamela love

From Interview magazine...

Liberty United would like to take a bullet for you. The organization, created by the multitasking socially-minded entrepreneur Peter Thum (founder of Ethos Water and Fonderie 47), aims to reduce gun violence across the country, refashioning illegal guns, bullets, and gun materials into American-made jewelry. Its first capsule collection debuted earlier this year with Philip Crangi of Giles & Brother. 

Next up is New York-based designer Pamela Love. Taking inspiration from folkloric and artisan motifs, as well as the iconography of astrology, astronomy, alchemy, botany, and the American Southwest, Love first began making jewelry in her Brooklyn apartment in 2006. Now, the designer holds a studio in the Garment District and crafts pieces locally with sustainably sourced recycled metals and ethically obtained gemstones and semiprecious stones. A series of Love's signature pieces, including her Aeternum ring, cuff, and pendant, as well as her Inlay Cage and Talon cuff, will be produced in conjunction with Liberty United. 

"I really want to help bring awareness to the issue of gun control," Love says of the collaboration. "The opportunity to work with them was very exciting." Realized in gun metal, brass, bullet casings, stainless steel, blackened steel, and 14-carat gold, each individual piece features the serial number of an illegal gun taken out of circulation. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from each jewelry purchase will fund community programs with a mission to reduce gun violence.THE LIBERTY UNITED X PAMELA LOVE COLLECTION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE THIS FALL ATWWW.PAMELALOVENYC.COM AND WWW.LIBERTYUNITED.COM
