Shop It Like It’s Hot Part 2 // Continuum

Even a cursory glance inside new Vine Street boutique Continuum reveals a range of highly Instagram-able vignettes, from the palm-print wallpaper to the meticulously arranged accessories. Don’t just look at it from outside, though–step in and take a look around, if only to find out where that strange pink glow is coming from. I popped in one extremely nosy Saturday, and wound up chatting with Continuum owner Ericka Leighton-Spradlin. Predictably, she studied fine arts at...

Tips & Advice // 4 Reasons to Create A Look

Though I don’t go quite as far as wearing the same thing every day like this art director (which actually seems like a good idea), I like creating a look each season because it makes it easier for me to shop and edit my wardrobe.

For some people, the shopping at the museum is just as important as the art at the museum. I confess: I am one of those people. So it should come as no surprise that I was excited to see the Contemporary Arts Center’s revamped gift shop.
