I'm not usually a sucker for sequins but after seeing Ashish, the london based clothing line, all might of changed! These bold printed, fully sequined dresses, pants, jackets and shirts are totally out of control, amazing. I want to own these and covet them forever like a fine painting.. maybe one day!

GUN buy back fundraiser tickets

GUN reclamation project: Living in NYC, it often seems we never go more than a week without hearing of a tragedy caused by guns and violence.

Rather than spend our energy on fear or contempt, we've decided to take thisinstrument that represents violence and reframe it as symbols of non-violence. We want to commit ourselves and those who purchase these pieces to keeping guns off our streets, so for each work sold from this collection a contribution will be made to the NYC “Gun Buy-Back Program”.

Through this program, the D.A.'s office and the NYPD partner with local churches to offer $200 bank cards for any firearm turned in at one of their one day events. Since 2008, 5700 guns have been taken off New York's streets. Event Details:
