The Story
I started this company as a complete joke!
Growing up as a kid, I’d always notice my mom beingstressed/bummed out about her 9-5 job. Ever since, I’ve been comingup with little ways to work for myself. Lemonade stands to yardsales, magic tricks at kids birthday parties to selling tricks/pranksin high school.
I used to be a class clown. I’d buy & collect so many pranksfrom this one joke shop - that the owner gave me a catalog of where Ican purchase these from, wholesale. I’d buy whoopie cushions, trick candy, and itching powder in bulk, to make little ‘prank packs’.

I’d then sell these prank packs to the kids at my high school. One day Isold itching powder to this kid Dan, who put it all down his friendsback. Turned out his friend was highly allergic to what’s insideitching powder. His back swelled up with hives and he was rushed tothe emergency room. I almost got kicked out of high school.
After returning back from my suspension, I decided to sellsomething else… (get your mind out of the gutter!) .. candy is what my new hobby was. .... read more

Vintage Hats from Ellen Christine
The hats in this impressive collection have been created by Ellen Christine Colon-Lugo. Earning a devoted East Coast following, Ellen Christine hand-constructs hats that have unique appeal. She mixed antique textiles and trims to capture the fanciful nature of the modern woman. As Ellen Christine sculpts velvet roses or an organza brim, each hat seems to take on a life of its own. She imagines each hat "starring in a little movie." These movies are often interrupted by some matchmaking, as the milliner becomes stylist, transforming a browser into a buyer. "These are hats that are meant to be worn, not kept on a shelf. There's a dramatic character inside every person waiting to be dressed."
Ellen Christine brings more than a good imagination and a selective eye to her specialty. Hats became part of Ellen Christine's life ever since her grandmother let her select a pink straw hat for Easter. She began gathering practical design experience in her hometown, Philadelphia, where she apprenticed herself to an Italian tailor with main line clients, and in Boston, where she helped put together a costume shop for Strutters, the trendsetting antique clothiers. Her prize find was a wealthy socialite's hoard of hats. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. "Those hats were my school," says Ellen Christine, who perfected her craft by taking apart and reconstructing those 350 crushed beauties.
Moving to New York over a decade ago, she relied on her hat-making talents while pursuing her masters and doctorate in costume history at New York University. She continued to sharpen her skills by freelancing as a stylist and costumer. One of her projects for theatrical costume-maker Barbara Matera was Beauty and the Beast. Her sense of style and history also make her a favorite with brides-to-be hoping to restore their mothers' wedding dresses or coordinate a fanciful headpiece.

The 60s Eyes
Smoky, sultry colours, full lashes and bold definition - this season's make-up is all about retro eyes. Think Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick, and take your inspiration from the 1960s
The eyes were the focal point of the 1960s face. Great long heavily mascared eyelashes, often supplemented with false lashes. Eye shadows in the blues, greens and browns. A dark crease. Eye liner was dark, often black, and thick.
Eyeliner helped create the dark, dramatic eyes of the 1960s.
Full-on lashes: Full, feathery eyelashes featured on many catwalks this season, and it's a look that can suit everyone. The trick is to apply mascara to top and bottom lashes.
