When someone in my online book group recently shared a picture of the Chef’s Knife hair clip from Vinca, I knew I’d be looking sharp this Halloween.
I honed in on the company’s website and found a slew of edgy adornments that whetted my appetite for more. In addition to hair accessories like barrettes and bobby pins, their Chef’s Knife collection encompasses earrings, brooches, chokers, and necklaces.
But wait, there’s more!
This cutting-edge category also includes clever cleavers and macabre machetes, along with anatomical heart hoops and brooches with removable blades. So whether you want jewelry for heart slitting or hair clips for part splitting, Vinca’s got its knives out for you.
My order arrived in iridescent wrapping with a sticker showing two chef’s knives, an alien, and a Ouija planchette (themes that appear among their other accessories) with the words, “What the Weirdos Wear.” Vinca, you cut straight to the heart of me!
If you have a keen fashion sense, carve out some time to explore their entire selection and collect the whole set!
Stuff Worthy Of Our Notice™ in this post:
Here’s some food for thought: according to fashion designer Eileen Fisher, “The clothing industry is the second largest polluter in the world … second only to oil.” This is not surprising when you consider our modern culture of fast, cheap fashion that churns out new styles each season (and often each week) to keep up with ever-changing trends. These clothes are primarily made from non-biodegradable synthetic fabrics and cotton grown with chemical pesticides, not to mention the toxic dyes and other resources used in manufacturing. As the latest craze comes and goes, clothing is frequently discarded after only a few uses, either ending up in a landfill or sent overseas to populations for which supply is quickly outstripping demand. While some high-end labels have begun to make the shift toward sustainability, their prices can put them out of reach for the average consumer, which is why Threads 4 Thought has become a Stylemaker Worthy Of Our Notice.
I first discovered Threads 4 Thought clothing in Whole Foods market, of all places. I bought one of their t-shirts on a whim as I was checking out and was amazed by both the price and the fit. Each time I returned to do my grocery shopping, I found myself buying a new shirt, until I had an entire closetful. They have now become a staple of my wardrobe.
