HANSEL FOR HAITI

Hansel from Basel will be donating 15% of all sales proceeds until the end of February to Haiti relief efforts.  How amazing is that?  From bake sales to telethons to small businesses like this one, it has made me so happy to see people reach out to those in need.  I’ve always considered myself a global citizen, concerned with equality and human rights, and it gives me hope seeing people all over the globe coming together in support for an important cause.

Hansel from Basel is a quaint hosiery company created in Los Angeles by Hannah Byun.  Having attained studio art and art history degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, – W00T – Hannah decided to combine her artistic interests with sock savvy. The opportunity to create a line that is smaller, independent, whimsical and design oriented felt inevitable.  Hansel from Basel is a line dedicated to unique design, excellent quality, and light hearted jest.

my choices (from L to R): Colorblock Rib Tights, Pebble Block Tights, Curtain Tights, Gargantuan Cable Tights

FROM HERE TO THERE

I’ve never seen so many great tights in one room.  Last night I was a guest at the From Here to There holiday party hosted by the lovely Stefani Greenwood and Serge Monkewitz .  Delicious food, superb music and amazing people.  I’m glad I had my camera with me because the ladies were wearing some gorgeous tights in addition to their already incredible shoes.  From the Dr. Marten throwbacks, to the fuschia suede heels, this group knew how to dress for a soiree.

I wish you could see my entire outfit!  I wore an early nineties crushed velvet dress from the GAP paired with some American Apparel black tights and Aldo shoes (pictured above).  Add a faux fur jacket and beanie and you’re practically on the set of Beverly Hills 90120.  This is where all my inspiration stems from these days as I’ve been watching season 1 on the Soap Network.
