Hannah Stouffer for Vans

Los Angeles based illustrator Hannah Stouffer finds a great deal of comfort in imagery. It’s an admiration that is often times overwhelming. With an infatuation for icons and images that reflect and categorize historical eras, genres and subcultures her work is an opulent, elegant and beautifully intricate mixture of illustration and design. She focuses on the contrast between periods in time, subcultures and social and social trends and merges them together with a high regard for traditional decoration.

Just when we thought that Miss Hannah had an impressive client list (seriously, peep game yourself), she upped it again, this time with Vans! I am feeling these in a very big way!  No release date yet, however, we just wanted to give our readers the heads up on what is about to hit the streets.

Benefit Cosmetics and Shop Bop have teamed up to give you the chance to win a NYC trip and shopping spree!  Entering is super easy – just go here. Good luck!!

Benefit’s newest fragrance, B Spot, celebrates the uniqueness of how women wear their fragrances – on their various “B Spots” of course. Women are invited to find out their “B Spots” – essentially seductive pulse points where the scent would wear the best. The scent is a sublime combination of mango, freesia, peony, amber and sandalwood. B Spot comes with a “body map” so you can find your B Spot and you can even take a quiz online to see what B Spots fit your personality. I took the quiz and it turns out I’m a “Savvy Simone” who is confident and dynamic, so naturally, my B spots are behind the knee and in my elbow bend. Find out where your B Spot is here and you can purchase B Spot here.

The Grab-And-Go Kit
(or, the essentials you should always have packed in your carry on)

Ladies who travel often know that it can be a real pain to pack, unpack, repack, rinse and repeat every time they have to hop a plane for work (or a quick weekend sanity getaway). It can really eat up your time.

You can avoid some of that wasted time, though, by preparing and keeping current a “Grab-And-Go” kit for your carry on bag. When you use something from the kit, just replace it as soon as you return from your trip and your “necessaries” will always be ready to go.
