Welcome Back Ann Arborites!

Hey hipsters,

Welcome Back to Ann Arbor and all things glorious and collegiate. We're happy to report that the team is, almost, fully reunited and we're working hard to bring you the best in fall fashion. Look out for our welcome week party, where we'll join Dark North apparel to officially welcome all the cool kids back to campus.

Good luck unpacking and we can't wait to see you soon!

Peace, Love, THE BEARON

PS Keep sending over pictures from all your killer summer adventures!

Jane's Addiction

FINALLY. Jane and I have something in common...

the bearon.

SeaOfShoes

From a new found craving for all things Pamela Love (ummm BEARon ring? I need that...), to an insatiable love of all things shiny and vintage, Jane Aldridge is my girl. Jane and her amazing blog, Sea of Shoes is a daily stop for most fashionistas and even landed this young, leading lady in the pages of Vogue.

So why am I writing about her now, versus every other day of awesome Jane posts? Because everyone always laughs at how much shit I have on wrists... and now I have fabulous company. While I tend to lean towards an mix of gold bangles, friendship bracelets, Cartier ropes, and a black and gold La Mer Collection wrap watch, Jane takes a more monochromatic (and gloriously chic) approach with her all silver baubles.

Off to adorn my wrists with even more inspiration...

Peace, Love, THE BEARON

Brutus

Megan and Keegan, two dear friends and BEARON lovers sent us this photo of their new bulldog puppy, Brutus. Basically the cutest/most spaz dog ever. And a good reminder that wrinkles can be adorable...

Peace, Love, THE BEARON

Gone Lolla for Minx?

During a lovely afternoon at Borders together,

Caroline and Anna discovered a most fortuitous find...
May we introduce MINX nails, please?

With everyone from Lady Gaga (pictured above) to Beyonce
sporting the fun and funky nail coatings, applied via a heating
technique, there's no question that "getting minxed" is a
trend too tempting to pass up.

In what can only be described as "hippie chic," Caroline
fell head over heels for this flower power design, which she
is dying to rock at Lollapalooza:

The perfect accessory for grooving
to stellar bands in Chi-town, no?

Peace, Love, Bearon

Go Barefoot for TOMS

Hopefully you guys have checked out TOMS Shoes- if not click here and jump to it! 

Blake and his team are incredible- leading a revolution one pair at a time. 

Today, April 16th, TOMS is sponsoring "ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES"- a day to really experience what it means to go barefoot. Here are the facts:

• Fact #1: In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help.
• Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
• Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
• Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
• Fact #5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.

Check out the movement HERE and join us in walking barefoot- around your house, to class, or all around town!
