You know I have a penchant for clogs, especially Swedish Hasbeens, which is why I'm so excited for their NYC pop up this Thursday at the Kiitos Marimekko concept store on the Upper East Side. The event is from 6-9 PM and is hosted by the lovely Miss Christina Caradona of Trop Rouge. Come hang out with me and check out their SS13 collection, "Call of the Wild," in person! Plus there will be sweet treats, savory bites and plenty of bubbly.
See you there!
Today I'm excited to host a $30 giveaway to LKF Vintage! This curated shop is run by San Francisco-based Leanne Feely and everything she selects is not only adorable, but totally wearable, which can be a rarity for vintage. So many times I find fantastic vintage pieces, but I'm not quite sure how to style them. Leanne has a knack for making such items feel current and fresh and her shop is a constant source of inspiration for me.
To enter, follow Leanne on Twitter and Instagram (Leanne is studying botany, so be prepared for lots of lovely flowers in addition to vintage finds!), and comment here telling me what's your favorite item from Leanne's shop. This is open to international readers as well!
Not into giveaways? Leanne is also offering 10% off for you lovely readers with code LKFandOlive until June 1. Happy shopping and good luck!

There is a secret garden in the West Village, and while there's no Mary Lennox or Colin to be seen, it's still pretty magical. It's right on Hudson St. and looks just like any other unassuming old church, but if you're lucky enough to find the small entrance, it leads to a pretty darn large campus filled with winding paths, tulip patches, blossoming trees and plenty of benches to sit on. It really is a little oasis, and I felt like I wasn't in the city just for a few brief moments.
On another note, I won a Need Supply contest a few months back (I know, right?) and finally spent my prize on these amazing Arc Boots. I've been hemmin' and hawin' over them for months, and last week the fates aligned—They went on sale and I had a discount code. They're probably the most comfortable boots of all time and even more beautiful in person. Samantha puts so much love and care into everything she makes, and her shoes are no exception.
