VS Angel Alessandra Ambrosio in BY BOE

2011-09-30T12:00:00.000-07:00

A few years ago, stylist Lorri Sendel introduced by boe to the Victoria's Secret Angels. We are always excited to hear stories from the shoot about how much the models love the line...and we are even more thrilled when by boe makes the final cut!

The gorgeous Alessandra Ambrosio (if we are allowed to have a favorite Angel, she

is it!) wears our Single Curve Wire Necklace + Curved Wire Bracelet this season (along with the Incredible Bra from Victoria's Secret, of course)!

As BY BOE prepares to unveil our Fall Collection lookbook, we find it fitting to invite you into our studio. Seeing where inspiration begins and styles are created gives a greater understanding of the BY BOE aesthetic, and we are so lucky to have our friend, designer Lotta Jansdotter, show our studio to you.

A self-trained artist, Lotta Jansdotter has much in common with BY BOE designer Annika Salame: both hail from Sweden, studied interior design in NYC, + left their studies to pursue their true design dreams (in Brooklyn!).

In her gorgeous new book, Open Spaces, Lotta goes behind the scenes + shows us the studios of 24 artists from her favorite cities: Stockholm, Brooklyn, + Tokyo. The beautiful pages bring the reader into the intimate workshops (+ living spaces!) of some of the world's most creative minds.

As New Yorkers, we can't help but love Gossip Girl. This season's finale gave us our weekly dose of scandal and luxury with a side of some of our favorite music (The Airborne Toxic Event!)

After seeing the band perform in NYC, we were struck not only by their talent, but their superb style! They brought their mix of vintage, glamour, + rock n roll to Gossip Girl-- and they brought some by boe, too!

Airborne Toxic Beauty Anna Bulbrook (known for her viola, keyboard, tambourine, + vocal skills) wore our delicate Golden Arc bracelet with her gorgeous gown!

by boe interviews Ada of Oma Vintage!

2011-03-17T12:00:00.000-07:00

We are so excited to begin our interview series! by boe is looking forward to sharing with you some of our favorite people (+ things!).

Our first feature was immediately reserved for Ada Egloff of Oma, the sweetest, chicest vintage store owner around! Many of you may recognize her as the manager of by boe's SoHo shop when it first opened in 2006. We are so proud of her success in opening her own stylish shop in Philadelphia!

Oma has been featured in PAPER, Daily Candy, and Teen Vogue, and we are thrilled to have Ada share with us the secrets of style + running a small business herself:

BB: How did Oma get started?

A: Oma started out as Lollycrisp Vintage (on Etsy) back in 2008 after I finished school. I had just moved to Philly and was suddenly surrounded with great thrifting. I kept buying and needed a venue to showcase my goods - and voila! Lollycrisp was started. In 2009 I found a gorgeous storefront here in Philly and decided I'd give it a go as a retail outpost. That lasted about a year an a half, until I decided to shut the doors and go back to internet only this past September.

BB: How do you choose the amazing styles Oma offers? Is there a seasonal trend in your vintage selection?

A: Much of my merchandise selection process comes from instinct and guts. I like to buy things that I'd want to wear right now. That being said, I definitely look for pieces that are season-appropriate and touch on current trends. I like the idea of vintage as something timeless and consistently relevant. I steer away from kitsch factor and try and keep it fashion forward.

BB: As lovers of chic simplicity, we adore Oma's aesthetic. What inspired your design choices?

A: I am a lover of chic simplicity myself! I wanted to keep everything feeling really clean and crisp - allowing the clothes (which are sometimes quite bold) to really shine. I think a neutral palette lets everything breathe and sort of stays objective. Also, simplicity never really goes out of style.

BB: You managed of our SoHo shop (when it first opened!). Did this experience influence your decision to start your own shop?
A: Managing the Soho By Boe shop and working with Annika in general were invaluable learning experiences for me. I wouldn't have had the first idea of how to run a small retail start up without learning by example. Even just the day-to-day of the shop gave me a feel for the little tasks that make up running a small business. I was always very impressed with how Annika took care of so many things at once. You have to be the ultimate multitasker if you want to do what we do!

BB: You do a lot of modelling of Oma styles-- do you listen to music during photo shoots? Who are you listening to?

A: I don't think I'd get through the day without music, my goodness. When I'm shooting I like things that are upbeat and help push the shoot along. It also gets cold shooting in my home office during the winter, so anything that makes me boogie a little is important. On rotation lately has been Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Destroyer, Cut Copy, Kanye West, Sebastien Tellier, Derrhunter. Oh and of course our friends from the ol' alma mater, Small Black and Vampire Weekend. [ed. note: Ada + by boe's blog editor, Valerie, attended Barnard College together in NYC. Ada was the one who introduced Valerie to by boe!]

BB: Do you have dreams for Oma expanding in the future?

A: I would love for Oma to keep going at this pace and potentially grow in the future. I think the web is an amazing place for a retailer these days, and unfortunately that makes opening a brick and mortar even harder. If I relocated to LA or someplace similar, I could see expanding the concept and trying a retail space again. But for now I'm going to keep chugging along online until that opportunity arises!

BB: I know you are engaged (congratulations!). Will you be wearing vintage?

A: Thank you for your congrats on the engagement! I'm really excited. I faced a dilemma with the wedding dress situation because a. I love vintage but b. as you know, my sister is a designer and has made all of my important event dresses since my 8th grade dance! So we decided to go with the best of both worlds. I found a beautiful cotton eyelet 1940s gown that my sister Sydney is reconstructing to make a bit more clean and modern. She's draping in LA as we speak and I cannot wait to get it in the mail and try it on!

BB: Is there an Oma team, or do you do it all yourself? (I am in awe of you if you do!)

A: The Oma team currently consists of my dog Lima Bean and me. Occasionally my fiancee Rick will shoot some photos for me (and he does all of my graphic and web design - www.whoisrick.com). The sourcing, cleaning, repairs, photos, editing, listing, and shipping however...are all me!

BB: What is the best piece of advice you could offer someone starting up a creative business?

A: Hmm this is a tough one. I guess the advice I'd give has two parts. Part one is to have an idea/concept that is very clear and fleshed-out. You want to stand out in a sea of creativity, and in a web community like Etsy, there are probably 10 other people doing what you do. It's important to stand out in that crowd. Also, this is a full time job (and a half). You have to be pretty committed to what you do in order to make it work. It takes a while to get established but you have to just keep pushing, building connections and a sense of community with like-minded sellers, and really never give up! If you give it everything, it's completely worth it in the end.

by boe is snowbound!

2010-12-26T12:00:00.000-08:00

A blizzard has New Yorkers snowbound! Whether we're bundled up in our apartments or cozied up far away (because no airport will fly us home!), the spirit of the season makes any location fun.

We've spent lots of time with family and friends, ice skating, and eating.

We've also spent some time dreaming about...jewelry displays! As accessories-addicts, our loved ones can never go wrong giving gifts which store our jewels. Traditional boxes are lovely, but we especially adore storage which allows us to display our pretty pieces.

Prowling the web (one can only spend so much time in the snow!), we discovered this clever "Pack Rack" by Brooklyn artist Steph Mantis.

Sorting through family heirlooms, we've found mounds of vintage dishes, reminding us of this brilliant idea from Martha Stewart:

What's your favorite way to display your jewels?

holiday traditions at by boe.

2010-12-15T08:35:00.000-08:00

The by boe shop is all set for the holidays! There is nothing lovelier than spending time in our cozy warm store while the snow falls in the city. Stop by for some holiday cheer + pick up some gorgeous, affordable gifts for your friends!

by boe's design is influenced by our designer's Swedish heritage, and we can find no better way to honor our company's heritage than with tasty treats! Our company traditionally has a little party with Ginger Cookies + Glogg (a yummy spiced wine).

Join us in celebrating the holidays, Scandinavian-style, with this delicious Glogg recipe (courtesy of our friend, Lotta Jansdotter, whose recipe was recently featured on Martha Stewart!):

Ingredients (serves 10)
1 (750 ml) bottle dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Zinfandel
1 (750 ml) bottle port
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups Cognac, brandy, rum, or vodka
Zest of 1 orange, cut into strips
10 cardamom pods
2 sticks cinnamon
10 whole cloves
5 slices peeled fresh ginger
Granulated sugar
10 teaspoons raisins
10 teaspoons blanched almonds

1. In a nonreactive saucepan, mix together wine, port, 2 cups water, Cognac, orange zest, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.

2. Strain wine mixture and discard solids. Reheat wine mixture over low heat (do not boil) and stir in enough sugar to reach desired taste. Add 1 teaspoon raisins and 1 teaspoon almonds to each of 10 mugs; fill mugs with wine mixture and serve.

3. ENJOY! Happy holidays!

'tis the season for giving.

2010-12-10T12:00:00.000-08:00

It's the season for giving, and by boe wants you to know that with every purchase made at our Bryant Park Holiday Shop, you'll be giving to the community, too!

Whether you're getting a special treat for yourself or a loved one, 2% of your by boe purchase will go to the Henry Street Settlement!

Henry Street Settlement is located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, where they have been working since 1893 to provide social services, arts programs, and health care services to 50,000 New Yorkers in need.
With pioneering moves like opening one of the nation’s first mental health clinics, transitional housing facilities for the homeless, and the city’s first Safe Haven shelter for homeless women (among many other amazing feats!), one cannot help but want to contribute to this organization.

Let your loved one know that their gift is supporting the Henry Street Settlement, and have a Happy Holiday!
