Remember when StyleSheet paid a visit to Blinc to spend some quality time with stylist Ali Burks, Blinc's general manager and buyer? It was then, among the translucent, sorbet-hued hangers and her studded booties, that I knew we had to have her in to spill her purse. I suspected the contents would be as cool as she is, and, as you can see, they are. We laid it all out on her blue snake scarf by her all-time favorite scarf line, We Are Owls. (Carried at Blinc unsurprisingly.) Take a look.
