Get Lucky

2011-09-17T06:33:00.001-07:00

A random photo drop of our last minute prepping in the Black Rabbit studio leading up to our event in New York last Sunday. Paid too much for cabs and pizza but the open bar and fun humans made it all worthwhile.

NY Fashion Week

2011-09-07T16:54:00.000-07:00

Our friends were kind enough to ask Black Rabbit help sponsor a Toyota/Scion Rooftop party! We are creating goodies for 300 gift bags. Come get gifts, enjoy the open bar and the beautiful humans. Don't forget: dress to impress and drink 'til you forget!

They will be airing the last episode of Entourage on the rooftop at Scion of Manhattan. Sponsored in part by Tequila Avion, Redbull, Narragansett, Etnies, Smith Optics, Black Rabbit, Snap Infusion and more to come...See the flyer above for full details.

If you're interested in coming, please email us @ blackrabbitbabes@gmail.com,
we have to compile a guest list and need your name to get you in.

Modern things don't die, just stain...

Karen O will always be one of my most inspirational stage performers.
Expecially in this lost generation.

Where do you go to my lovely?

Vintage Feather Headband

2011-08-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

Reese made this beautiful headband with her grandmother's Vintage Mardi Gras feathers! Nothing like keeping the stray hairs out of your face with some authentic St. Louis magic! Above the headband is featured in Red Rose. Also available in Cream Rose. Each headband is hand wrapped in Vintage silk. Starting at $48. Email orders and inquiries to blackrabbitbabes@gmail.com, we may not post on our Etsy account because they are so limited!

Mean, Mean Irene

Well, turns out she wasn't so mean to us. Our house on Shark River in Neptune City, NJ, somehow managed to keep power while most surrounding towns are dark and flooded. We did encounter a boat in our yard this morning (I'm thinking finders-keepers mentality) and we've lost some of our dock. All in all I'd say we're very fortunate. My thoughts are with those who got the worst of the hurricane...never taunt or disrespect mother nature! And to avoid total boredom we have resorted to heavy drinking and playing dress up, resulting in me looking like a drunk from the 60's. More photos later.

Meet the Juel!

2011-08-21T23:41:00.000-07:00

BurdaStyle.com recently ran a Meet the Designer article on Reese Juel, half of the creative magic behind Black Rabbit (the half that actually knows what they're doing)! Reese has been an independent Philly-based designer for almost 10 years. Read up on the girl behind the drum kit and sewing machine, as she talks grunge, influence, inspiration and street art. Full article here.

**Above, Reese wears a "Shreds & Studs" Reconstructed Vest by Black Rabbit.

Rollies & Roachies

Wu Lyf is so inspiring to me right now! "Go Tell Fire To The Mountain" is currently dominating my summer playlist. Just bought some fresh fruit from the market so I can make some Sangria. Also got my hands on some amazing deep purple fabric dye, going to mix it with beet juice to dip a dress into and then bleach dye the finished product. Catch you later bunnies.

I wonder if the other people in this building worry about the little girls blasting sabbath and dragging animal parts back to the studio to wear as clothes?
