Jessica Carroll just got promoted from intern to editorial, and AS. IF. that’s not enough of a Christmas present, she wants all this stuff, too. Millennials these days! (Just kidding Jessica please don’t leave.)
1. “Good ‘eye-shielders’ should be standard for those really cold, really sunny days that happen mid-winter. If I could choose to wear any such sunglasses right now, they’d be by the uber-cool Thomas Tait. I want to wear them with my white Nike Free Run 2s and be a vision of the future stomping through the snow.” Available at Cutler & Gross (84 Yorkville), $600.
2. “I used to be a Spice Girls fan, but I never thought that platform shoes would make it into my repertoire of aesthetic pleasures again. Still, when they’re purple suede and made in Scandinavia, my nostalgic knees start buckling.” Won Hundred platforms, available at Chasse Gardee (1084 Queen St. W).
3. “A friend once ordered a couple boxes of Japanese Kit Kats off eBay and handed me an ‘Earl Grey Tea’ flavoured one. I’ve been chasing that flavour high ever since.” Found on eBay.
4. “I like this print by Kim Gordon (of Sonic Youth) because it reminds me that very famous rockstars/artists with tons of money and cool friends are still allowed to make critical cracks about powerful art people like they’ve never been to parties with them. (Larry Gagosian, for the record, is an art dealer and gallerist, and one of the most powerful people in the art world.)” $250 at Exhibition A.
5. “My degree is in Art History, so I’m kind of a nerd for curatorial practices. The Exhibitionist is an art magazine that focuses on just that: exhibition making. Also, wouldn’t throw the mag’s designer out of bed.” Subscribe here.
