The Kanon Vodka-Approved Holiday Gift Guide: Part 2, For Women

As promised, here are our gifts picks for women this season. From stocking stuffers to serious splurges, we've curated an unbeatable wish list featuring goodies from some of our favorite FOKs as well as a few items that we just think are pretty cool. So go ahead and treat that awesome woman in your life. She deserves it.

Sunny Cocktail Glass: For those looking to wish someone a merry Christmas from the bottom of their hearts, look no further than these bad boys. Recycled glass martini glasses made in Mexico make it easy to forget the miserable weather outside and enjoy a Feliz Navidad, especially when they're brimming with delicious Kanon organic cocktails. Sunny Cocktail Glass, $8.95, available at Crate & Barrel

Mr Dannijo iPhone Case: Here at Kanon we're major advocates of using protection, especially when it comes to your iPhone. This season why not keep your phone safe in Manrepelling style with this FOK-approved mustachio'd case from Dannijo? MUS iPhone 4 Case, $98, available at Dannijo

Pamela Love Cuff: Pardon the obvious pun, but we're basically in love with anything this woman produces, and this cuff is no exception. The silver cross is a subtle nod to the season, but the overall design is more Kathryn Merteuil than Annette Hargrove. Pamela Love Silver Cross, $565, available at Barneys

How Friends of Kanon Get Into the Halloween Spirit

This weekend is full of Halloween activites for us, from Los Angeles’ Tim Burton party at the LACMA to celebrating with LoveCat magazine in New York. We can’t think of anything better than a weekend full of costumes, cocktails, and copious amounts of spooky fun. We know we’re not alone when it comes to a good time, so we asked a few of our favorite FOKs to give us the scoop on their Halloween plans...and the memories from the holiday that still haunt them to this day. From amazing costumes past and present to childhood traditions, read on to see what gets them in the spirit.

Krystal Simpson (See above)

1. Which places in LA throw the best Halloween parties?

Anywhere in West Hollywood, but I feel like that applies to all fun holiday celebration situations. But no matter where you are geographically, Halloween is always best spent in costume with good friends and strong drinks.

2. What do you plan on dressing up as this year?

Freddie Mercury, circa 1986. I feel like I've been waiting a lifetime to dress up as Freddie! I've been holding out for the right yellow jacket.

3. Do you have any embarrassing Halloween costumes from the past?

If your costume is not embarrassing, then it's no good! I think my favorite one from the past is between Keith Richards and Michael Jackson; it's really fun to dress up as a boy.

S/S 2012 Fashion Week Through the Eyes of Susie Bubble

NYFW has drawn to a close, but if you've been working (read: partying) as hard as we have, perhaps you still haven't gotten your full fashion week fix. Fear not friends, for style blogger Susie Bubble has you covered. We teamed up with Leica to give you a glimpse into her world, or rather, her bubble of chicness.

Here's what Susie had to say (and see) about the week:

I've been going to New York Fashion Week for as long as Mac & Milk's introduction to the New York Fashion Week schedule, and whilst I've not experienced NYFW sans Mac & Milk, I get the feeling that my week is greatly enriched by its existence. By providing a downtown platform for those emerging and somewhat-established voices in fashion to showcase their collections, it really is the place where interesting design points of view come across either via presentations or at the shows. The programme's renaming as 'Made' is probably a reference to the fact that the schedule has 'made' its way into most editors' stable of must-sees.

For S/S 12, I saw a good 80 percent of the Made schedule, missing the last two days but coming away with no less than about 10GB of photos thanks to Leica. I've whittled all of that down here….

Top photo: Aldo's presence at Made has been welcome through a pop-up shop as well as their increasingly creative collaborations as seen at Cushnie et Ochs where Barbie-inspired heels come in these round-toed stilettos.

I like to stalk Bill Cunningham if I have a spare ten minutes or so. He happened to sit front row next to me at a show where I snapped his taped up Nikon FN2 film camera…

Prints have been rife at NYFW, but Duro Olowu is a dab hand at mixing his prints….

FOK Love: Kelly Framel Reviews Pamela Love's SS '12 Collection
Even with all of the new gorgeous and fashionable faces we spotted at Milk Studios and at our Kanon bar on the 8th floor last night, it’s always comforting to see familiar FOKs. And what's better than when we have a gaggle of them in one place? Last night Milk hosted Pamela Love’s Spring 2012 collection and naturally we had to pop in to congratulate the jewelry-designing FOK. We invited Kelly Framel, otherwise known as The Glamourai, to be our wing-woman for the night and get her perspective on the Western-inspired collection. Here’s Kelly’s take and photos from the collection. FOKs supporting FOKs? Our work here is done.

Check out what Kelly had to say:

Saturday night, I stopped by Milk Studios to check out Pamela Love's Spring 2012 collection. A band jammed in one corner, while a bevy of models perched on Persian rug piles, decked in dune-colored costumes topped with tooled-leather details – and lots and lots of jewelry. Indeed, it was the jewelry that this packed house (and Anna Wintour!) had come out to see. Featuring turquoise, malachite, and lapis stone insets, the harem of hardware on hand looked as if it had been collected over several decades by an especially adventurous aesthete – which is why each new piece promises to become a truly-treasured talisman.

10 Days Left To Enter Our Midsummer Contest!

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re feeling generous this month. Maybe it’s because we’re in a perma-great mood post-Midsummer (seriously, best time ever)–or it could just be the general feeling of zen our organic goodness gives us. When we say generous, we're talking about the amazing prizes we're giving away in our on-going Facebook contest. Seriously, we can't even believe how good they are. The best part is, we’re making it so easy, that you could feasibly multi-task over happy hour or work and still enter.

To enter, head over to our Facebook page HERE and “like” us. On our “Win Midsummer“ tab you’ll see we’ve teamed up with a few of our favorite bloggers like Honestly WTF , Because I’m Addicted, The Glamourai, TV Carnage and Diana Miller of I Listen to Everything —and asked them what Midsummer means to them. Choose your favorite tradition from our blogger list, and share it with a few friends to be entered to win. The more you share your pick, the more your chances of winning increase. This is where it comes in handy to have a bevy of high school friends you don’t talk to anymore.

What are the prizes you ask? Oh, you know, just some amazing jewelry from FOK Pamela Love, an Elie Tahari dress, an iPad…should we continue or have we convinced you enough? Head on over to Facebook and join in on the fun. It’s Monday, after all, and if anything is keeping us going it’s the thought of happy hour and winning some unbelievable prizes. Contest ends July 20th so you have a week and a half to get your clicking and sharing on. Good luck!

Enter our Midsummer Facebook Contest!
Make a DIY flower crown with Honestly WTF
Happy Midsummer! It seems like only yesterday that we had triple and double digit days as our countdown to Midsummer. Well, we're happy to say that those times have come and gone. It's officially the best day of the year, in our humble opinions. But because we love Midsummer so much, we’re not limiting the fun to today. What kind of a responsible vodka would we be if we didn’t guarantee a continued good time? That's why we're holding a contest so major, that we wish we could enter to win--and we're going to be running it for a whole month.

Here’s what you have to do. First, head over to our Facebook page and “like” us. Midsummer is all about tradition, so we asked some of our favorite bloggers--including Honestly WTF, Because I’m Addicted, The Glamourai, TV Carnage and Diana Miller of I Listen to Everything--what Midsummer means to them. Simply choose your favorite tradition from our bloggers, and you’ll be entered to win. The trick is, if you share your pick, your chances of winning will increase. What would a contest be without a little strategy? We’ve also teamed up with an amazing bunch of folks to bring you equally amazing prizes. Think jewelry from FOK Pamela Love, a slick unisex bag from our Coachella co-hort Phillip Lim--and those are just two of six. You'll want to check out the rest over here. In fact, we might befriend you on the side so we can ask to borrow them.

So, head over to Facebook and enter.

You're Invited: Kanon Summer Series at the Hudson Hotel

Ah, the Love-fest continues. Whether we’re reading her new blog or doing this crazy new internet thing called Twitter chats with her, Pamela Love is everything for us this week. The best part? We get to see her again tonight at the Sky Terrace at the Hudson Hotel because we’re kicking off our weekly Kanon Summer Series there and Pamela’s the inaugural host.

Know what the best part is? We want you to come too. Follow us and the Hudson Hotel on Twitter at @Kanonvodka and @hudsonnyc respectively, and tweet us with the hashtag #KanonSkyTerrace before 3pm today and you’ll be added onto our guest list. Yeah, we really did make it that easy. Get ready for a Kanon trifecta: beautiful weather, Pamela Love, and our very own cocktails all in one place.

Now start tweeting and we'll see you tonight at the Hudson Hotel!

Pamela Love Joins Our First Ever #FOKchat
In case you missed it, we’re having a lovely week, or rather should we say- a LOVE-ly week courtesy of FOK Pamela Love. Between sitting down with her to talk about her newly relaunched site and blog (which we can’t stop clicking through) and toasting to her last night at the Mondrian Soho with fellow FOK Becka Diamond djing, we’ve been having our very own Love-fest (no, the Love puns never get old).

We were even able to snap up some of her time this morning for our first ever FOK chat (or make that #FOKchat) on Twitter. But if you missed the convo this morning or if you're not familiar with what a Twitter chat is, we thought we'd show you how it's done. Check out the transcript with Pamela from this morning on everything from her city inspiration to favorite vintage spots and even her cocktail of choice (she’s a woman after our heart, after all).

(And by the way, you should follow us on Twitter for upcoming FOK chats and more of the witty commentary you come here to find, but in 140 characters! Impressive, we know.)

Toasting FOK Pamela Love's Site Relaunch

It’s pretty appropriate that her name is Love- Pamela Love that is. As if we didn’t love her enough as a person, we’re also big fans her work. Try flipping through a monthly glossy without seeing her jewelry grace the page– we dare you. On top of all that, there's never a dull moment with her out on the town, toasting with a Kanon bloody mary (her favorite!) or two.

So when the designer told us she was launching a revamped version of her website (and throwing an awesome party at the Mondrian Soho to celebrate), we jumped at the chance to sit down with her to hear all about her venture and her sustainable creations. Oh yeah, we also love that Love is all about keeping it local and sustainable, just like us. Here, Pamela updates us on her site, her line, and how she’ll be spending the summer.

We can't wait to see your new spiffed up site. Can you tell us a little bit about what we can expect?
There will be a lot more fun features, including a link to my blog!

What prompted the relaunch?
It was just time for a change.

Kanon FOKs On Their Ultimate Party Essentials
Not to toot our own horn or anything, but we think we've got this party thing pretty nailed by now. We've figured out just what makes one worthwhile, whether it's a playlist to die over, a guest list to envy, or key cocktails to lubricate the social setting. That's not to say though, that we're opposed to doing some research on how to make the next event even better.

And for this, who better to ask than our FOKs, who range from DJs to editors to social media and party experts. We asked a few key members of the Kanon family to fill us in on what they consider party essentials. Turn up their recommended music picks and let the good times roll, because now you're in the know too.

Connie Wang, Global editor for Refinery29

Party games: a do or a don’t?

A huge don't. I find that extreme, drunken, competitive concentration always leads to hysteria on my part, and that's not a good look.

Best party theme you'd most like to attend or throw yourself?

Literary villians was a good one. The costumes ranged from Moby Dick to Lolita.

What would be in your ideal goody bag?

A vitamin water, a DVD of some cheesy sitcom, and an Extra-Strength Advil

Toasting the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Winners!
Pamela Love
When it comes to the awards category, Ecco Domani is quickly winning our hearts with their annual Fashion Foundation. Since 2001, they’ve been awarding grant money each year to support talented emerging designers, and in 2008 they added an official “sustainable design” category to give designers yet another reason to be green. One such designer, and 2011’s winner, is Tara St. James, the talent behind label Study NY. We’re looking forward to getting to know her better in the coming year.

But we’re not done yet. This post wouldn’t be complete if we couldn’t brag that our very own FOK, Pamela Love, won in this year’s accessories category. Toast to you, Pamela!

Past winners have included some of our favorite designers like Rodarte, Rag & Bone, Thakoon and Alex Wang, so we’re expecting big things from this year’s roster. To check out the rest of the winners, head over to Racked NY.

Rogan vs Pamela Love Locket Party
Pamela Love and Rogan Gregory
In case you didn't already know, we spent last night with FOK (Friend of Kanon) Pamela Love to celebrate her new line of lockets at Rogan NYC. The gorgeous lockets, made in conjunction with Rogan, were cut in oxidized sterling silver with champagne diamonds and emblazoned with poetic, love-themed phrases like “Let’s Make Mistakes” and “Don’t Stop Love.”

We served a signature Kanon Bloody Mary (appropriately titled “Bloody Love”), shopped, danced, and basically coveted every single one of her pieces in the store. Check out these Polaroids from last night and see them all for yourself--and if you were wondering what to get us for Christmas? Well, now you know.

FOK Guest Twitter Bird: Byrdie Bell Tweets Her Night With Kanon Vodka
Byrdie Bell "En route to ROGAN/@PAMELALOVENYC "
If you follow us on Twitter, you know how much we love capturing our nights accompanied by Kanon cocktails. When we heard a new Friend of Kanon, the gorgeous Byrdie Bell, was coming to Pamela Love's event to celebrate her new line of lockets, made in collaboration with designer Rogan Gregory (and appropriately named ROGAN vs. LOVE), we knew we had to call on her to capture the night through Twitpics and 140-character musings.

Beyond modeling and acting, Byrdie loves to tweet, and she's one of our favorites to follow, so we knew we could count on her to share the night in a unique fashion--no pun intended. Check out Byrdie's night in pictures at the Rogan NYC store, along with a few more FOKs who made appearances.

Kanon Mixology: Bloody Love at Rogan vs Pamela Love Party
Bloody Love
Tonight we're hitting the town with one of our dearest Friends of Kanon, jewelry designer Pamela Love at one of our favorite boutiques, Rogan NYC. To celebrate the occasion we're also introducing a new Kanon cocktail made by the newest FOK, Sam Kim from Skimkim Foods. Sam is not only an awesome DJ but her food company produces packaged foods that range from spicy kimchee (wonderfully named, Skimchee) and homemade butters using local and seasonal ingredients. Her spicy Skimchee is part of our very own Kanon Bloody Mary drink named "Bloody Love" that will be served tonight.

Now, you may say to yourself, "Hey, but isn't that just a brunch drink?". Just think of it as part of our ongoing efforts to incorporate our favorite parts of the weekend into everyday life.

Bloody Love

Pour 2oz of Kanon Organic Vodka over ice in a short tumbler glass, stir in 4oz of Bloody Kim Jong-il mix. Garnish with Skimchee or cilantro, watercress and chive herb bundle.

Pamela Love Spring 2011 Presentation
If you wanted the quintessential New York Fashion Week experience you weren’t anywhere near Lincoln Center last night. You were at Milk Studios for FOK Pamela Love presentation along with all the downtown cool kids that make up New York. We love Love for many reasons- her unique creativity and passion inspire us – plus her whole working locally and responsibly sounds kinda familiar (ahem – Kanon). Her collection had everyone raving, including the likes of Carine Roitfeld and Olivier Zahm. When you got the French on your side you got it made in the shade. We provided the gimlets and our other friends Jenna Elizabeth and Harry Beee were there capturing the scene. Love did the rest.

FOK Portrait: Pamela Love
If you’ve ever found yourself at an address or intersection below, oh lets say 20^th Street, there’s a good chance you’ve spotted one of Pamela Love’s pieces walking by you. Not that it’s insulated in the downtown set, Love’s pieces transcend skinny jeans, cigarettes, and all the other clichés associated with people who don’t live on the Upper East Side. She sees herself as a local designer, working with her own hands. Here, we have the opportunity to see Love how she sees herself, via one of Kanon’s favorite NYC filmmakers, Jenna Elizabeth. It’s an intimate portrait of an intimate process that dates back to Love’s childhood. Minus the flashbacks and tears.
