So Design*Sponge is one of my favorite web sites and SLJ and trinket were mentioned on it! I love to read it when I eat lunch, they cover everything from DIY projects to up and coming designers. It always feels accessible but special at the same time.

Tonight Grace Potter is playing at the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival and she had a chance to get, in her words, "my Sweet Lady Jane fix". She's a huge Corey Lynn Calter fan. She loved the pre-fall collection that we have in the store and choose this dress. Maybe she'll wear it tonight! Stay tuned...

New York

I went the the FAME, Accessories show and Intermezzo show this past week. I was looking for spring merchandise but ended up adding more to my fall deliveries! The stuff was that good...

Here I am modeling a jacket that I ordered for myself (whoops) from French Connection. It is part of the spring collection-stripes, florals and checks. French Connection is going back to basics and tried and true French looks. Yippee!

Congrats Myra!

Congratulations Myra on your much deserved Daysie! I'm so glad that she choose to wear her Marc Jacob's dress that she purchased on tribeca's last day. It was part of The Clothes Exchange that benefited the King Street Center.

We got our title back!!!

Yeah! We got our daysie back! We got runner up last year and we think it was due to the ambiguous category "Best Women's Casual Clothing and Sportswear". The category was changed to "Best Women's Casual Clothing Store" this year. We also got runner up for "Best Women's Evening Wear". Cool.

Thanks to everyone that voted. We'll try hard to uphold the reasons why you voted for us.

I just got back from NYC and I feel like it was one of the best set of shows that I've been to in a long time! Great stuff on the way!!!
