Ever since we laid eyes on Brook&Lyn's bewitching "Deflected" collection, we were taken by the brand's unexpected and original approach to jewelry design. Combining natural materials with bold shapes, their work gracefully walks the line between delicate and strong, such that we see our own femininity reflected in its construct. http://www.los-list.com/blog/brook-and-lyn/

This past Sunday was a bittersweet coming together as our neighborhood celebrated ten years of Zebulon with one final night of music and friends. As I looked around the room at the early crowd - kids scampering about on the stage up front and their parents hanging back by the bar - I got to thinking: what would all of us have done without this place? Over the past decade it has served as a community hub for many of us: we watched World Cups and elections here: screaming and celebrating, we met our soul mates here (I met mine) and celebrated weddings (including my own), bid farewell to friends, welcomed new ones, chimed in new lives (including little Henri's)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/zebulon-chalks-it-up/

Whether you're watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, loyally focused on the football game, or gabbing and noshing with friends and family, we here at Lo's List are wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving. This year, Lo and little Henri will be enjoying Grandma Martin's unparalleled Turkey Day spread and Henri, who is normally limited to the healthiest of foodstuffs, is allowed to try every single sumptuous dish at the table tomorrow. It's going to be a doozy. See you all at the gym on Friday! http://www.los-list.com/blog/happy-thanksgiving-2012/

I stumbled upon Brooklyn artist Sam Trioli while scouting the interwebs last week and subsequently fell in love with his entire body of work. These vibrant pieces from his Sagebrush Gulch exhibit definitely struck a chord: perhaps in part for the nostalgic tangent that it led me on as I pulled out my Color-Aid paper and had a little impromptu art-school cut and paste sesh. Sagebrush Gulch was on display in Miami last spring as part of site95's exhibition series and includes a few dozen paperworks as well as a large-scale outdoor mural and sculpture. Be sure to check out Sam's portfolio here, and, if you're in the Boston area you can view his latest series, Brumaire, at Howard Yezerski Gallery up until December 22nd. Definitely an artist to watch! http://www.los-list.com/blog/sam-trioli-sagebrush-gulch/

Me Too, the children's division of interior design company Magis, has been killing it with the kids wares for almost a decade now. This comes as little surprise. Magis' president is well aware of the finicky taste of children: in no small part thanks to his discerning granddaughter Anna. http://www.los-list.com/blog/magis-me-too-cloudy/

I am absolutely jonesing for Givenchy these days (oh Antigona...). And I can just add this painterly statement tee to the lengthy list. My closet is already a veritable shrine to the men's tee, with my favorite look being a half-heartedly tucked-in tee, some skinny jeans, a pair of exuberant socks and my trusty Tretorn sneaks. Any more fuss than that and I'm wasting precious time. But that doesn't mean it's careless. With my carefully curated tee collection, I always find just the right design for any day's mood. This toothy shark? Mondays, for sure. http://www.los-list.com/blog/givenchy-shark-tee/

As Sandy comes creeping towards us, threatening to shut down NYC for the better half of the week and - oh the horror - seriously screwing with every child's Trick-or-Treating plans, I, as a responsible mother, am checking my list twice for our household hurricane preparedness. Candles? Check. Batteries? Check. Chocolate? Check. As worried as I am for those who will surely be impacted by the brunt of the storm, I can't help but get a wee bit gleeful as I consider the possibility of a week cuddled up at home with my kid. And, beyond chocolate and good books, cosy socks are a must. http://www.los-list.com/blog/henrik-vibskov-socks/

These bright, fair trade bracelets coming out of South Africa are made using upcycled flip flops. They're dirt cheap, eco-friendly, and the perfect lighthearted accompaniment to all that studded, metal arm swag everyone seems to be wearing this fall. No two are alike. Get a set of ten from Paper Source and rock the 80's vibe. http://www.los-list.com/blog/flip-flop-bracelets-from-paper-source/

DEERDANA's minimalist portrait tees have been on our fashion radar for some time.  But when Jay-Z broke out their Basquiat for his now-famous subway ride to Brooklyn a couple weeks ago, we knew the NYC brand had hit the tipping point. Featuring a mötley crüe of iconic characters hand-scrawled onto classic white cotton tees, DEERDANA takes a wardrobe staple and gives it the tastemaker treatment. They also have their finger firmly on the pulse. From Rick Ross to Frida Kahlo to Maggie Smith's Countess on "Downton Abbey," their subjects transcend pop- and sub-cultures, and can best be qualified as, quite simply, cool. http://www.los-list.com/blog/exclusive-q-and-a-deerdana/

For all of us tough chicks who think that wearing heels is just foolish and keeps you from getting to where you need to go, this brand is for you. A little outdoorsy, a bit seaside, and a lot classy in that tomboy sort of way, Kat McMillan's line of women's shoes, named Mrs P. Hicks, are sumptuous for-her renditions of those leather Chukkas and Canoe boots that you have been coveting in your hubby's closet. http://www.los-list.com/blog/mrs-p-hicks-shoes/
