Love This Store: STORY

Hello lovelies,

So I came up with a fun idea for a segment on the blog when I was in New York last week. I want to add blog posts about fun, local stores to the blog and introduce them to you.

I was wandering around New York City (in my opinion, the best way to discover this city) and I stumbled upon this cute store called STORY. So I went in, not too sure what to expect. As soon as I entered the store, I saw that they literally have a little bit of everything: books, clothes, a bike on the wall (yes, you read that right. A bike. On the wall.), phone gadgets, ...

This store changes like a gallery. And another part of this store is that it gives this magazine-like vibe. So that means it can look completely different the second time you visit the store. They change everything from design to the product they sell. Cool, right? Every 4 to 8 weeks, they sell products that are related to one theme.  This can go from "Good" to "Making Things" to "Love" and so much more.

Some STORY wisdom for y'all: eat chocolate, lose weight

 I love the idea of having one particular theme every few weeks and to change it up according to that theme. It's so refreshing finding stores like this who think outside of the box to find new and revolutionary ways to offer products to people.

You can find more information on their website: http://thisisstory.com/ and find pictures that are prettier and more artistic than the pictures from my phone :-) If you're in New York, go check out the store at:

144 10th Ave. at 19th St. New York, New York 10011

So nice, they named it twice

Please let me know in the comments below if you like this new segment! Thank you for reading!

Love,

Molly

Who is Taylor Marie Hill?

I’ve been wanting to write this article for a while, but never really got to it. Today I decided to write, and immediately upload it (hurray for my productivity!). 

So this article is about Taylor Marie Hill. Maybe you haven’t heard from her before, but you must have spotted her face at least once. Taylor has been modelling since she was 15 years old. She started with Ford Models, now the model is signed up with IMG Models.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this girl for about two years now and I’ve been sensing that she’s making big career steps in the world of modelling. I think she has a lot of potential and she might get really big in the near future, that’s why I wanted to introduce you all to this girl. I also think that she deserves this little shout out.

There’s not too much to find about her on the internet or in magazines, but I thought it would also be fun to give you an overview about the things I picked up about her since I first spotted her. By the way, I think it must have been on Instagram. She caught my eye because she seemed very familiar to me. I had seen her before on the H&M website. She’s been working a lot for H&M, DIVIDED. That’s why you might spot her while looking for clothes on their online shop.

You can also find her on the VS PINK website. She’s even has been on the head banner for a while. And not so long ago, Taylor announced that she’ll be walking in the VSFS this year. She posted a picture on her IG account, caption: “New from VS pink also I’m super excited to announce I’ll be walking in the VSFS this year I’m coming for Ya London!! @victoriassecret”.

I already mentioned I have a feeling that Taylor Hill is becoming bigger. The fact that she will be in the VSFS is of course one of the biggest reasons. But also because I’ve seen her on several catwalks during the latest Fashion Month. She’s walked for Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce & Gabbana, Christopher Kane, Versace, Kenzo, ... and (my favourite designer!!), Elie Saab!
 

Sooo, big up for this girl! I’m no expert in the model industry, but in my opinion she’s been doing awesome work and I think she’s a person we’ll be hearing more about soon. I’m telling you girls, keep her name in mind. Taylor Marie Hill.
