Early for the Solstice
It might technically be four days early (Wikipedia tells me the official season starts at 11:09pm on June 20th this year), but as far as I am concerned, SUMMER IS HERE!!!!

Eugene
It's true that I am a sucker for a pun. I'm also always on the hunt for the right jeans.
Which means I'm doubly pleased to introduce Eugene denim. They're great jeans: clean, simple, skinny but not too, low rise, but not too, with a sweet pedigree: Italian denim, but made in the USA. We've got two styles in: deep, dark denim for the purists, and a black that starts that way, but fades to grey below the knee. Ombre. Nice.
Come check them out.

Lu Davis!
The work of photographer Lu Davis is going up in the store this week. Her work makes me ache in the best way. The images are evocative, emotional, and empathetic... but this is my take- come in and see for yourself.

"From here it looks like you could use some new underwear"...
When I first moved to New York a lingerie line, now defunct, scrawled that on the sidewalks. It was cheeky and clever.
I'm not looking up your skirt, but from the looks of my underwear drawer, I could use some new undies...
So, generous girl that I am, I have brought in some new favorites for all of us.
Herewith I re-introduce Cosabella to the store (with matching bras and bralets):
And from Eberjey, smooth teal lace.
And again, all of them have optional, co-ordinating tops. Happy Spring.

Girl-Crushing
When did this term even come into my vocabulary?
Girl-crushing is more than just the admiration one feels for icons like Audrey Hepburn, it's closer to an "l like you, you're awesome, we should be friends" feeling.

I have quite a few girl crushes going at any given time- perennials on my list are Kate Moss (I know, I know..but really? I love her) Madonna (forever and always) Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Stella McCartney, Cate Blanchett, Sophia Coppola, Tina Fey... there are a million more, but let's just go with this little taste before it gets any more revealing (read: embarrassing).

| Armour glosses: Lucy (opaque orange) Grace (magenta shimmer) and Kashmir (rosy peach shimmer) |
Plus, she has exquisite timing.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I've been on a lip gloss quest.
In walked Theo.
Her (Armour's) gloss is thick, laquer-like, rich and colorful. It's a slick that you know you are wearing, and it lasts for hours. The colors are either shimmery with flecks of glitter, or creamy and opaque. They're named for her icons (crushes?): rock gods and goddesses, songs, beauties.
I'm contentedly wearing "Diana", a glossy, opaque, rosy neutral, these days, and moonlighting with "Kashmir" a shimmery, soft peachy pink.
They're available now at the store, and crush worthy indeed.
She didn't name it for me, but a girl can dream...
I've been searching for the perfect lip wear for months now, wandering into Sephora every time I pass one, scanning the reviews on Make-Up Alley, googling things like, "Michelle Williams Red Lipstick". I've bought half a dozen... Lip Sugar from Fresh, a fancy rosy lipstick from Korres, tinted something from Burt's Bees... Nothing was quite right.
