Christmas will be here before you know it, and the Labels and Lacquer girls have been busy little elves making sure all of the gifts will be here just in time. There’s been a lot of online shopping going on in between cookie-baking and decking the halls, and we’ve now completely finalized our lists! If you haven’t scoured the Internet to find exactly what you want for yourself (or anyone else on your gift-buying list), then check out what we’re asking Santa for this year. Who

Augusta & The Brunswick Cafe: Before I visited Darby in New York, I, of course, researched the best cafés, dessert spots, etc. One of the places that was on our list of “must-sees” in Brooklyn was the Brunswick Café. Darby and I met up there and had a nice brunch. From the décor to the coffee to the food, there was nothing not to like about this place. And even though my stay in NYC was not very long, I visited this café again at the very end of my trip. This was the meal fr

Okay, last weekend was my first weekend in NYC. I have a fashion internship here this summer. Augusta already works remotely for Bustle, a NY publication, as a fashion writer. Both the L & L girls have ties to New York. New York is pretty magical! I love everything about it so far. I was interested to see how it would compare to Hong Kong since I just returned from there. New York is quick moving and crowded, but it doesn’t compare to how fast or how crowded Hong Kong is. New

Ahhh, Hong Kong. What can I say about this wonderful city? Augusta had already been to Hong Kong. When she returned home from her study abroad trip, I knew I wanted to go, too. I think everyone deserves to have an experience where you travel alone and abroad, it helps you learn more about yourself. It forces you to be in situations you wouldn’t necessarily have ever had a chance to be in. At times you are definitely out of your comfort zone. View from my dorm window. Now that

Upon reflecting on our trip, it was hard to come up with a list of our "best" moments in this city. There were so many good times that it was hard to narrow it down to just a few of our favorites. Because honestly, just getting to experience traveling Hong Kong together was a dream come true for both of us. But, because we thought it'd be fun to cover the highlights of our trip, we made ourselves pick out some of the favorite places we visited and things we experienced throug

Valentine’s Day is almost here. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, we all have that special best friend in our life that deserves to be honored, too. The annual Galentine's Day is almost here! If you are Parks and Rec fans, you already know Leslie Knope dubbed Febuary the 13th as Galentine's day. So, grab your best girlfriend and shop these looks for the best Galentine's day yet. Whatever your plans may be, this bestie gear will fit any occasion. Make time on the specia

The Labels and Lacquer girls had an amazing Christmas, and we’re hoping yours was just as fantastic as ours. With each other in charge of playing the role of Santa’s helpers, we each got exactly what we wanted on our wishlists. That, of course, included lots (and lots) of clothing, and we were super excited to wear each and every one of our new pieces. For our first post-Christmas outing, we took our new clothes out for a spin. See how each of us styled our new pieces. Hopefu
