Real Clothes on Real People

Mon Petit Oiseau Lecture Dress. We love pockets, especially with cute little buttons! This dress is fleece so it is all warm & fuzzy inside.
Corey Lynn Calter Suzi Roll Neck Trapeze Mini Dress. If you saw this dress in my previous post, you can tell this definitely looks a lot more white than silver in person. This is definitely what we call a 'cheater' dress. You can eat all night & let it all hang out & still look fabulous!
Eskell Miss Kate Dress. I think this is my favorite Eskell dress of the season. Obviously it would look even better with a black bra, but who is ever really prepared when trying on clothes?
Uluru Colette Sweater Dress. I think this is my favorite. Made of 100% Grade A cashmere this dress is so snuggly soft, how can you not love it?

So Cute!!

A lady came in with her 8month old chihuahua puppy named "chi-chi"
How adorable is that little dog in our dog beds?
I wanted to keep her.

Mom Gifts


Sometimes I have a hard time shopping for my mom. She has everything she needs, and when she wants something, she goes and gets it. So what do I get for her?
I have had these candles by Archipelago for a while now. I think they are pretty, they are really popular with my customers and they smell great. I realized today that my mom keeps going over to the display & picking them up, smelling them, looking at the different designs & putting them back. Hello!?!? She obviously wants one & hasn't decided to get one, or decided on a scent. So this something that I can get mom for Christmas. Something she doesn't have, I know she wants, and hasn't bought for herself. Yay!
And - even better, that pretty jewel on the top - it's a removable brooch! So it is a 2 in 1.
love it!

In Coming this Week

So far, it is a pretty slow week, as far as merchandise is concerned. We are pretty much stocked up for the holidaze, but a few fun things are coming in so.... here you go:

12/5/07 - Prairie Underground is set to arrive!!! (These girls are a 151 favorite with a SERIOUS cult following!) I am wearing my Prairie Hoodie right now :)

12/6/07 - Cody Foster - the last of our Christmas decorations are coming in.

12/7/07- Kikkerland - this one I am excited for. Great little cufflinks at an affordable price. The best guy gift. They are so hard to buy for, and these are just great & fun.

World AIDS Day - Trying to do our Part

Slideshow!



So you want to see where I spend my days?

Our Designers are Getting Press

Okay- time to give props where props are due.
I love my designers that I carry & I'm proud of them when they are acknowledged in the media. A lot of times we get inundated with the same mall shops & brands, it is nice to see some are breaking through that barrier.

Jimeale
One of my favorite girls, Jimeale has this great travel bag line. For years my cosmetic bag consisted of the one I got as a gift with purchase back in 1999 when I bought a Clinique lipstick. Long story short, it is disgusting. So, thank you Jimeale for giving every girl an answer to that age old question "where do I find a decent, cute & actually functional cosmetic bag?"

It turns out Isla Fisher & Sacha Baron Cohen agree:
We have that baby bag too! Click on the picture to get the bag.

D A C E
Sometimes those Canadian girls just aren't getting that same kind of love & attention down here in the good 'ole USA. But, one girl of note is a talented designer named Dace. Her clothes are so fashionable, but edgy and cute. Just different.

Seems Miss (I'm a good girl now) Lohan agrees:

Click the link to see some DACE pieces on our website. There isn't a lot, but we'll be updating more soon.

Lewis Cho You all know how much I love these girls. Based in NY, they are really making a name for themselves. Their pieces make every girl look great.
This piece is from Lucky Magazine:

Same thing, that pic will take you to our Lewis Cho page. There isn't much there, because it flies out the door so fast. Call us if you need more!

Daily Candy
I know I don't even need to say anything about Daily Candy. (Love!)
Here are some links to our designers that they have noticed:
