Love: Asli Filinta
Asli Filinta is really our kind of lady and the type of designer we love to discover and support. She is from Turkey, which is the country that is third on my list of places I really, really am dying to go to. She loves music and art and lots of things D.I.Y.; her designs are beautifully fun and joyous and life-affirming and gleefully non-conformist; it's impossible not to wear her wonderful accessories and clothes and not be full of optimism and excitement and buoyancy. When I picked up our Asli Filinta prize from Dernier Cri for our Spirit Animal House party event-only raffle, I flipped my shizzit in the best way possible -- her hats and scarves are so beautifully made and insanely, beautifully quirky, you pretty much would freak yourself out in the best way possible just by wearing this. Take, for instance, this white straw fedora with a feather and an elephant applique, so outrageously adorable that it would put all the hats at the Kentucky Derby to shame. It's basically perfect for that girl whose inspired by equal parts Zelda Fitzgerald and Iris Apfel:
We also picked up two super-fly scarves that will make everyone on the street bow down at your cuteness, should be lucky enough to wear them:
Seriously, I kind of pass out from the fabulousness from it all. It just makes me happy to look at -- imagine how you'd feel wearing it! I envy the lucky winners who get to pick these babies out at our raffle drawing on Tuesday. Maybe it will be you? Lucky bastards...

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it!
