Harsh winter blues

This winter has been rugged!  Who wants to strip down to try clothes on when you can't leave the house with less than three layers on! The only thing that can lift our spirits is new merchandise.  We got in Maison Scotch this week and we are obsessed with the La Parisienne aquarium jeans.  

Here's to warmer days because it's sad that 12 degrees feels "mild".  

Uh oh

I just came across this article - The 10 things that only fashion people love.  We currently have 4 out of the 10 things in the shop.  That doesn't sound so bad but we don't carry shoes (2 of the items) or eye glasses.  

This one really got me - what is wrong with leather sweatpants?  Okay...as I type that, I can imagine them being styled completely wrong.  We currently have a perforated black faux leather in from BLQ.MKT that I am coveting.  

What could be simpler than a jumpsuit?!  Not ideal party wear...but throw one on with some jewels and you are ready for work.  We currently have a variety of jumpsuits in- a jersey piece from BB Dakota, denim from Free People and a rayon overall just came in the other day.   

The last one that really got me was neoprene.  Whatev.  It's easy to care for, fun to wear and can hold a great shape! We currently have a great collection in from Clover Canyon.  To die for.

Doppelganger

Meet mine.  When my friend Kirstin pointed this image out to me, I had to take a double take.  Was that really me?  Wait - I don't own any of that clothing and I had to cancel my trip to NYC...but for a hot second...I almost thought it was.  

Update to this post - I got to meet Garance Dore at the NYNOW show.  I told her about this picture (she had never seen it).  I felt like an idiot telling her how I thought we looked alike but I couldn't stop babbling...or shaking...

Happy New Year!

The holiday rush is behind us and we are making room for all that 2014 will bring.  We've gotten in new Clover Canyon, BB Dakota and Jack.  Almost everything else is on sale...stop in and say hello!

OH!  And check this out...I started an online store!

Santa!

We hosted a special shopping night last night but the ice storm really put a damper on the event.  Our Santa was stuck on 89.  A trip that normally would have taken 45 minutes took 3 hours and two buses!  He finally made it and we elves celebrated!  

City sidewalks

I made a quick trip into the city to look at Maison Scotch and Giles & Brother pre-fall collections.  Yes...pre-fall.  You know I love any excuse to go to the city but New York is just magical during the holidays.  

My favorite thing to do is shop the windows for display ideas.This shop used business cards to create a simple wreath.  

The garland at Frye took my breath away - proving that classic simplicity is sometimes the best approach to a window display.  

I may have an addiction.

I am addicted to Clover Canyon.  There, I said it.  

We just got in the resort collection, inspired by Cuba and it's lush tropical influences.  Clover Canyon is designed and produced in Los Angeles.  Each pattern is thoughtfully placed and even cheeky at times.  

Come in and check it out - we also will be getting in swim suits this spring!
