Xirena Summer Essentials

It's so not too late. These beauties came in this past week. Gauzy cotton perfect as a beach cover up, and adding easy elegance to your #ootd. (hahaha, but it's true). Come see the pants and dress too.

I love Xirena, a collection made up of only sexy colorful intimates/swim and pure cotton relaxed elegance. 

Bluma Project for the Win

I've been feeling the love for Bluma Project for a while now. Beth Schaeffer's lovely project utilizes artisans in many countries with strong handicraft traditions while encouraging women-run collectives and fair trade practices. Her design sensibility provides a consistent through line, bringing us gorgeous, chic pieces from all over the world that we can feel great about sporting.

The Capri bag is just the latest offering to land in the store.

It can be yours.

Local Swag

I am a little obsessed with procuring the excellent swag from my favorite local joints. It pleases me to support local businesses, but also I have a measure of neighborhood pride. It's a little hard to justify now, since we are so clearly on the map.. and I don't want to be unseemly when I brag about how awesome our neighborhood is. But still.

I distinctly remember our "718" t-shirts from Refinery about 15 years ago (yes, it was).
I've been sporing elementary school gear for a while now, but I'm branching out.

In case you want to know, here are a few good ones:

Superhero Supply: Dave Eggers 826 Valencia project is an inspiration and a joy to behold. Superhero Supply is clever, funny, and totally sincere in its mission to help kids find a love of writing and succeed at school. Good stuff. I love my sweatshirt.

Gorilla Coffee makes great swag. Wanna bring someone a piece of Park Slope? Their graphics are excellent, and the coffee is strong.

Body Reserve Gym: On the corner of 5th Avenue and Union, and housed in a former bank has a swell shirt- an eagle lifting a barbell. Who wouldn't love that?? Apparently, I do.

Cafe Martin's coffee colored shirt with a proud "CAFE MARTIN" emblazoned across the chest.

And of course, ours: Discharge printed on organic cotton, $32:
Get 'em at DK.

Welcome Eliza Gran

Eliza Gran's beautiful baskets are fun, colorful, and embody the New Bohemian spirit. Natural Morrocan baskets festooned with her handmade pompons brighten every space. I use them for housing soft toys, and linens, but you can use them for anything you want.

Eliza is a former Brooklynite now based in Venice California, and we're happy to represent her on her former home turf. 

Baskets come in assorted color combinations. Come see for yourself.
