"   Photo: Life:Curated  Sarah Kathryn Meyer and Ryan Michael Thomann met five years ago in the West Village at a Mexican restaurant for a mutual friend&amp;#039;s birthday party. Turns out, they attended the same college (in Georgia!) and had tons of mutual friends, but never met until both moved to New York. &amp;quot;For about six months before we met, Sarah couldn&amp;#039;t figure out why she was on my persistent (read:annoying) kickball email chain,&amp;quot; adds Thomann. This month, they opened Life:Curated, a slick, chic boutique in Brooklyn&amp;#039;s Williamburg neighborhood. While the siteis still a work in progress, the blog is full of Meyer and Thomann&amp;#039;s obsessions, styling tricks, and personality. Meyer works on the store full time and moonlights as a freelance fashion designer when she can spare an hour, while Thomann maintains a full time job at Penguin Group as a book designer and also works as a freelance graphic artist. The pair let us in on their favorite pieces\u2014and told us what to scoop up before it sells out. Ryan on Sarah: &amp;quot;Sarah&amp;#039;s awesome. She&amp;#039;s got great taste and is super easy to work with. Plus, she&amp;#039;s business-minded. She&amp;#039;s the sane to my crazy.&amp;quot; Sarah on Ryan: &amp;quot;Ryan has an amazing eye for design\u2014the first thing we bonded over. I kept him around because he constantly makes me laugh.&amp;quot; What will sell out first? Sarah: Veda&amp;#039;s Max Classic leather jacket is a hip and timeless piece that every woman will love. Ryan: Creep by Hiroshi Awai&amp;#039;s mens corduroy blazer with leather elbow patches. Practical and collegiate...and chicks will dig it. What&amp;#039;s the best thing under $100? Sarah: Any of the six scents of Joya&amp;#039;s Sarah Chiat ceramic candles. Ryan: The Laugh Cry Repeat signature applique heart tee. No contest. How about over $500? Sarah: Meagan Isaacs Duet necklace. Ryan: A camp-inspired leather two-seater that we expect to arrive in late October. Who&amp;#039;s your dream customer? Sarah: Maggie Gyllenhaal or Agyness Deyn, who are neighborhood regulars and my personal style icons. Ryan: The hypothetical adopted lovechild of Philip Crangi and Paul Rudd. Is that a legitimate answer? If you&amp;#039;re in NYC, check out Life:Curated in person at 186 Grand Street, Williamsburg. If you&amp;#039;re not anywhere near Brooklyn, visit virtually or follow Thomann and Meyer&amp;#039;s musings on Facebook. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
