Live. Love. Layer w/ Gorjana
Live. Love. Layer. You don’t have to tell me twice when it comes to showing off my favorite accessories from Gorjana & Griffin– more is definitely magnificent. Gorjana’s necklaces artfully combine statement pieces with subtle details that when combined, layer up effortlessly for a composed yet laid back look. Knowing great design is often not […]

3 Favorite Brands: October
The weather in L.A. is still sweltering, but we’re thinking forward to get ready for fall. After all, everyone’s talking about it- fall fashion, fall fragrance and the comfort foods we crave as the big three holidays round the corner. There’s so much to look forward to. Here’s a look at our favorite brands that are […]
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Behind most trends is a catalyst – a spark that ignites something so big its impact can be felt for years to come. For cupcakes, the revolution started with a now infamous scene in Sex and the City (circa 2000) involving Carrie, Miranda and cupcakes from New York’s Magnolia Bakery. In an instant, the perception of […]

Based on some pretty impressive science and the experts at HUM Nutrition, it certainly looks that way.

Tapping the Cold Brew Caffeine Craze w/ High Brew
Cold brew coffee is the latest craze taking hold of those of us who are caffeine obsessed (my hand is raised). With two thirds less acid and a slightly sweeter taste than hot brewed coffee, it offers a flavorful, smooth-tasting alternative to the traditional cup of joe. Cold brew is not just iced coffee.

Today Brandettes is kicking off a monthly feature that curates all the brands we’re currently crushing on. Short and sweet, here are our favorite brands for September: Apricot Lane Farms The Moorpark, CA farm featured on Oprah’s Super […]
American Giant’s Hoodie Revolution
Apparel-wise, there are not many pieces more satisfying than a plush, well-made hoodie. Comforting and comfortable, a good hoodie can wrap you up in softness that feels like something between mom’s cashmere sweater and those footie pajamas we rolled around in as kids. But what if you wanted go beyond “good” to reinvent the hoodie […]
Fusion Jerky’s Brand Building
As you can probably tell, Brandettes gets pretty darn excited about brands that upset the norm. Fusion Jerky fits that profile but certainly doesn’t fit in a box. Truth be told, it has very little in common with typical jerky really, other than the base protein. Traditional jerky is dry, hard to chew and comes […]
