Darylynn Eyewear and The Ziegfeld Club Form Unique Partnership

Nov 21 2016

Darylynn Ayala-Macaluso- the founder of Darylynn Eyewear, recently formed a unique partnership with New York’s The Ziegfeld Club Inc. She created three aviator-style frames (also reminiscent of the Ziegfeld era) and named the frame, “Nanon,” in honor of Nanon Gardner Sanderson- a Ziegfeld dancer and the grandmother of Laurie Sanderson- The Ziegfeld Club’s executive director.

“It’s a personal dream come true- to be able to be a part of, and give a creative contribution to The Ziegfeld Club. Florenz Ziegfeld has been a huge inspiration to me. He empowered women in a time when it was unheard of; and his wife- Billie Burke (who played The Good Witch on Wizard of Oz), created this club to continue their mission of inspiring women,” Darylynn explained.

Glitter Boutique's 1 Year Anniversary Celebration

Apr 18 2013

The small village of Claremont was THE place to be during one lovely evening in April. Glitter Lifestyle Boutique was celebrating its one year anniversary- which included sips and bites provided by Culinary Bliss Catering (LOVED the egg and avocade sandwich), tunes, discounts, shopping and LA based brand Shawl Dawls was on hand to provide demos of their chic shawls (which can be worn 15+ ways). You can read all about Glitter Boutique HERE. But since then, it has moved into another space in the same building. The decor was still feminine and creative. Young girls and women can still shop for apparel that suits their needs, whether it be for work, school, play, etc. Folks can also shop for accessories and lifestyle products (like cute printed scarves, scented candles, cell phone covers,quote necklaces, etc) as well. The shop now has an online store too, which is convenient if you’re not local. You can also check out their blog for updates and style inspiration! Cheers to Myisha for another successful year and many more to come! “I was so grateful for the love and support that was shown and that I encourage people to continue to support small business,” Myisha said.

Glitter Lifestyle Boutique is located 206 W. Bonita Avenue K-2 {Upstairs}. Their hours are: Tues and Sat: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Zink Grand Opening- Austin

Dec 09 2012

I attended the opening of Zink, a boutique that specializes in upscale luggage, handbags and some accessories-that’s located in the Jefferson Square shopping center off of 38th St. in Austin. I was loving the antique and rustic visual displays that brought out the bold prints and colors of the bags. The brand was founded by Ben Freedland and is named after his Grandfather- Robert Zink, an award-winning Nantucket basket weaver. Zink is based on the heritage New England craftsmanship and timeless techniques from all over the world. According to Ben, “The journey of Zink might have begun in New England, but it continues to traverse the globe: To Italy, for superb canvas in a rainbow of magnificent hues. To South America, for stunning textiles hand-loomed by artisans practicing age-old traditions. To Southeast Asia, for indigo fabrics and naturally dyed textiles. To rural Japan, for the finest organic cotton. These are just some of the elements that go into creating Zink’s meticulously crafted, timeless designs: the very fundamentals of chic adventure.”

Upon viewing these bags, I concluded that they are flawless (think right up there with Hermes). The color palettes are rich and the prints take the wearer on a journey through foreign lands, where tribes centuries old flourish. They have collaborated with Indego Africa and have produced lovely totes, Japan for handmade scarves using the ancient Shibori dyeing technique that dates back to the eighth century and Thailand for numerous products and techniques. Prices range from $85 for a tote in their Indego Africa collaboration, a naturally dyed scarf/shawl for $135 and up to $1,795 for the Crocodile Tote. My faves were the ‘Steamship Totes’ and the ‘Crocodile Clutch.’ Their new ‘made in the USA’ leather bag collection will start at $1,295. So the next time you are in the mood to journey off to some faraway land and need to pack your bags- keep Zink in mind! Check out zinkstore.com for additional information.

Huge thanks to Ben, Tori and Olive & June for small bites, sweets by Macarons by Jane and Orange+ Basil skinny tea cocktails.
