Studio Visit / Kathleen Whitaker

The jewelry Kathleen Whitaker designs for her eponymous line exists within the contrast of hard and soft. Her Classic collection (the soft) plays with shapes that feel natural enough to wear every day while her recent Stone collection (the hard) is like the older sister: elegant, bold, and intimidatingly beautiful. With such vocal designs it’s easy to understand why minimalism, in wardrobe and interiors, holds such importance to Kathleen. We stopped by her LA studio to talk inspiration, aesthetics, and the influence her background in ceramics has on her approach to jewelry design.

A Beauty Minute with Brooke Garber

Morning: I use Thalgo Eau Micellaire Cleansing Lotion and La Prairie Power Dual Cream. I use a tiny bit of Cle de Peau or Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, Mac Blot Powder under my eyes and swiped across my nose, Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner with Laura Mercier grey eye shadow over it, applied with a By Terry angled brush. Then Diorshow waterproof mascara, Anastasia brow pencil, and Prescriptives Posh Ginger lipstick which I’ve been wearing forever.

The Basket Bag

I don’t need to tell you how cute basket bags are (really cute). Like a popsicle, wearing one feels like the perfect summer treat. Unlike a popsicle, you can carry it around the city without developing an urgency to eat it before it melts down your arm.

Add a basket bag to your outfit and transform from “It’s so hot I’m only wearing clothes because it’s socially expected of me” to “Are you a mirage or do you actually look that chic in this devil’s armpit they call summer?”

Pleats Please

It’s officially summer and we officially know what to take to the beach with us. But it’s time to address another matter: what to wear while we’re actually traveling.
