Closetista: Independent and Emerging Fashion...: A Look At Bhon's Mood Board

closetista:

Here at Closetista, we’re major nerds when it comes to mood boards. Whenever we get a chance, we love taking a look at a designer’s inspirations for the season and seeing how they’ve transformed ephemeral ideas like “water” or “first love” into actual garments and accessories.

Bhon is no…

Food Lovers - Plan your next dinner with Zoko

Anyone that appreciates good food, good conversation, and dinner parties — has to check out Zoko.

In Zoko’s own words….

Think about all of the times you have been leaving a dinner party with all of the guests saying, “We need to do this again really soon!” Zoko agrees. That’s why the Zoko website makes it easy for groups - from a casual circle of friends to members of a formal organization - to connect in person. How? By making it really simple for members of the group to share details of events they are hosting, view and RSVP to events they would like to attend, and see who in the group is hosting and attending which events. The tool allows people’s dining circles to grow while allowing the individual events to remain the small intimate gatherings people love. Removing all the organizational headaches from organizing these circles means people can focus on the best part, enjoying the events themselves!

Hmmmm…. I’m hungry now. You?

And then there were two. The 2012 Must Have Accessory Challenge wasn’t easy for either of our talented designers, but both triumphed against the clock in the end to give you two very different neckwear options. It’s up to you to determine who will take home the grand prize though.
