What Makes Love True by Garance Doré & The Sartorialist x Tiffany's

Audrey Hepburn  refers to it as the best place on earth, where nothing bad can take place (Breakfast at Tiffany's). Marilyn Monroe sings about it (Diamonds are a Girl's Bestfriend). Eartha Kitt also sings about it with specific Christmas decoration requests (Santa, Baby). And more recently, Reese Witherspoon is proposed at the very place, ubiquitous with its trademark packaging (Sweet Home Alabama). Tiffany's.

For years, Tiffany's & Co. has been closely associated with providing (pricey, but exquisite) symbols of love for couples. Hold on, hold on—before you assume that I'm about to gush over some diamond ring or a 'must-have' product, let me finish, yo. Just recently, Tiffany's & Co launched a website— whatmakeslovetrue.com  —which includes an interactive photo blog, "True Love in Pictures". Since February is right around the corner (ahem, that means Valentines Day. blergh) I thought I'd be nice and share this piece of information with you romantics and/or friends who share some sort of beneficial relationship with a friend(s). Okay before I get off track, the blog features photos of pairs, captured by famed street style photographers The Sartorialist and Garance Doré—who by the way, are dating. aww #bloggerlove

If Facebook wasn't enough to showcase your sappy tendencies (yes, I went there) you can now upload your own photos to the gallery, using a special filter app on iTunes. If you use Instagram, you can participate by adding a #truelovepictures hashtag to your entries, and voila: the world now knows you are loved.

To sum it all up, the sentimental website includes photography, Valentine tips + real-life love story videos. And if you're in New York, Tiffany's has selected perfect places for couples to explore: What Makes Love - Tiffany's New York. 

And, if you're NOT into this sort of thing (you don't love 'love' or cringe at the thought of cute hearts), then boo-hoo, have some chocolate. No worries though, I wasn't planning on transforming Charmed, She's Sure to Loved, She's Sure. xo

Readers, Meet Jessie. Jessie, Meet Readers...

So I asked my (literally) life long friend Jessica Palermo to contribute to my blog from time to time. She's my partner in design for Hale Bob and she also does Badgley Mischka footwear on her own. Our dad's are business partners and best friends. Jess and I have VERY different style, which I think is the most exciting part about us designing together. 

Anyway- she's going to post soon and I just wanted to give her a little intro. ;)

She's way more fashion savvy than I am and was featured on The Sartorialist blog a few months ago. She'll hate me for telling you that but I'm not making her a blog administrator so she can't do anything about it! BWA-HA-HA!
