“My grandad passed just before Christmas. On Monday they are getting rid of everything in his house… I managed to take a few keepsakes today. A set of dominoes he carved, his old Ray Bans, WW2 medals and a street guide to Birmingham were amongst the treasures,” writes Lauren Sissons. Above is a sweet homage to her grandfather, his items catalogued and snapped for one very special Instagram shot.

“The structure of symmetry is everywhere in nature. It is not perfect or divine but it is magical. I have an urge to organize our visual detritus in this way because I see life. I also see death but they are not opposite, one is and one isn’t but both echo forever”

If you haven’t discovered your animal totem yet, consider if the Deer might be yours. According to Native American folklore, the animal chooses you, so if you feel a natural affinity for the deer, it is advised to wear the animal for its lessons. What can the deer teach you? The deer will enable you to achieve sophistication, subtlety and elegance. We discovered some beautiful deer pendants, sweatshirts, rings, and pillows on eBay to help you keep the deer energy close.

Every year in January, the Sundance Film Festival draws indie hopefuls and serious stars to the streets of Park City, Utah, where a standout film can make (or break) a career. It’s a week of see-and-be-seen, meeting-and-greeting, where it’s important you look your best, despite taking place in an otherwise sleepy ski town. Here, we have our dream Sundance outfit, complete with leather leggings to keep you toasty, moon boots and snow goggles if you feel inclined to hit the slopes, as well as some memorable accessories.

If you’ve followed Fashionista since its inception, then you’ll recognize the collage style from writer/illustrator Faran Krentcil, who served as the fashion site’s first editor. After that, she made waves at Nylon as their digital director, as well as writing for a few other independents. Here’s a spanking new collage found on her personal Tumblr to ring in the big year. Here’s to new resolutions!

And the award goes to… emerald! Pantone, the global authority on color, just awarded this rich gemstone shade the honor of 2013’s Color of the Year, following last year’s deliciously bright choice, Tangerine Tango. Luxe and luscious, emerald is a color that can be easily incorporated into any wardrobe or home décor. It’s notoriously flattering, complementary to most skin tones, a fact that has not slipped past the design house, Alexander McQueen, who is using emerald quite liberally as of late. In the home, emerald imbues spaces with the academic intelligence of a well-stocked library or the rich comfort of a smoking room. Wear it on your fingernails, dangle it from your ears, hang it from the dining room ceiling — whatever you decide to do with emerald this coming year, you won’t go wrong. And the next time you’re scouring eBay for some fashion finds, don’t forget to add the word “emerald” to your search query to go green in 2013.

![The Campbell Q & A

Only in its fourth season, Campbell is making the type of jewelry that immediately piqued the attention of Elle, Zink, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue. Designed by former model Michelle Campbell Mason, the collection features strong statement pieces (think bold, geometric rings) and delicate fine jewelry (the circle bubble bangle and ring with diamonds are to die for). The Inside Source caught up with Michelle to discuss icons, inspiration, and five things she couldn’t possibly live without.
Jenny Bahn: Where do you live?
Michelle Campbell Mason: New York.
Q: What most inspires you?
A: Intelligent architecture and fearless women.

Q: Who’s your style icon?
A: Two parts Grace Kelly and one part Kate Moss.
Q: If you had to pick one piece of jewelry to wear forever, what would it be?
A: My diamond studs.
Q: Five things in your closet you can’t live without?
A: Furs, Gucci riding boots, Rick Owens leather jacket, tees by The Row and my Balmain black blazer.
