Get Shit Done

MANIFESTO // Dreamin’ of Revelry + GSD Tee

April 24, 2013

revelry tee from shopyourmanifesto.com

When I listen to Revelry by Kings of Leon I go into a trance. It’s definitely my favorite Kings of Leon song, and I love the word revelry — defined as noisy partying or merrymaking, or lively and noisy festivities, especially when these involve drinking a large amount of alcohol. Since I turned 30 this month, the word seemed more than fitting for April’s MANIFESTO word. Sometimes you just need to go out and have a really good time.

As always, the tees are limited edition so nab yours up while I still have them HERE!

The tee is a white crew neck with the word revelry in gold foil. It is a FITTED women’s cut tee which means it’s a tighter cut. I personally wear a small and it fits close to my body and I will NOT be drying it in the dryer. It’s a super soft cotton jersey. Please know that gold foil (in any capacity) will wear off at some point. So if you love this tee and you wash it and dry it a million times the gold foil will fade eventually (which might even look cooler). Just a warning. As always, there is a size chart in the photos for each top.

Vote on Your Favorite GSD Shirt Design!

April 3, 2013

GSD shirt vote

That’s right, I’m coming out with a #GSD (get shit done) shirt! It is currently available for pre-order over on MANIFESTO. But, I need your help. You see, every time I draw the words for a MANIFESTO top, I mock it up and send it to a few friends to get their opinions on the different designs. I always want to see if everyone gravitates toward the same design, and to see if they pick the same design I had planned on using. So when I did the same for the GSD top, everyone picked a different design and there was no clear winner. So I want to turn it over to you. Which GSD design do you like best? Please give me your vote 1, 2 or 3 in the comments! I’ll leave the voting open until the evening of Monday, April 8th, and we’ll see if there is a clear winner.  Continue reading…

What does a typical day look like for you?
My husband, baby and I all wake up around 6:45am. Make coffee, feed 6-month-old Phoebe, and I put on a bit of makeup and blow dry my hair (I shower at night) right away — otherwise, it may never happen! Get dressed in workout clothes (I love Lululemon) and I either head to a TRX/Pilates class or a Kor180 class, or we all go for a neighborhood walk.
Back at home, I make a pot of steel cut oats for all of us, usually topped with blueberries and almonds, then drop Phoebe off at her grandmother’s house so I have four hours of uninterrupted time to get work done. It’s amazing how I can now squeeze an entire workday into that amount of time!
I head to my home office, where my assistant editor Chanel, art director Jenn and interns Kelly and Lisa are already hard at work. The next four hours are usually a whirlwind of answering emails, sending off proposals, styling mini photo shoots, helping Chanel with DIY’s, blogging (I try to finish posts at least a couple days in advance), and meeting with the team about upcoming projects and blog posts. Sometimes I have lunch meetings, but otherwise I throw together a salad with whatever veggies and grains are in my fridge, and work right through lunch. When 2pm rolls around (usually very quickly!) I go to pickup Phoebe and afternoon is spent playing with her and running errands together. If afternoon photo shoots are happening, I’ll try to stop by for a little while, with Phoebe strapped to the front of me in her baby carrier. She happens to love photo shoots… I think I might have a little stylist on my hands!

What parts of your job do you love?
Almost everything. The creativity, day-to-day variety and freedom of running my own company are incredible. I love styling shoots and dreaming up new ideas to inspire our readers. I also love writing, so some of my favorite workdays are when I get to sit down at my desk and really devote a good chunk of time to writing upcoming blog posts. Continue reading…

What does a typical day look like for you?

It’s never typical since I’m between NYC and NC so much. Various days include being on location at a photo shoot, at my desk doing customer service or writing a Manifesto Magalog or look book, in the studio at a photo shoot, in the factory designing or inspecting product, at fabric market … you get the picture!

What parts of your job do you love?

I love interacting with my customers whether it’s on social media, the phone, or email. It’s energizing to talk to the people I design my products for and when they send me images of their Society Social styled out in their homes — it’s tippy top!
