Back from France... and with treasures! We had the most wonderful trip- it was as always, incredibly inspiring. There's something special that happens when you pluck yourself out of your normal world and enter a new one. It's indescribable really. And if you can stay a while and really let everything sink in, the affect is immeasurable. We go every summer to stay with family and while we are there I try to find special things for the shop. This year, I found a great collection of chemises de nuit. They are stunning. We love to wear these as dresses in the summer... and layer with black stockings and black oxfords in the winter. I also found the hats in the pictures above. They were really a fun find- the man I got them from works for the theatre in Paris and had every kind of hat you could imagine. He was fun to talk with :) Adventures at the flea market <3

Spending some time in France with family and friends... a renewed awe comes every year of the incredible people, interiors, design, nature... the list goes on .... that we always find here. It is a special place <3
Back at the shop, there have been some adventures- one of them being a squirrel having a batch of babies IN THE SHOP! My mom came in a few days ago, found all the tumbleweeds fallen from a high shelf... and then she discovered it was a squirrel who knocked them down and had also just given birth!! She is nursing the babies to try and keep them alive. She is good at those things, so I am sure it will be successful. Schwew! Poor squirrel! Poor mom! What's amazing is that this squirrel had been hiding under a hutch in the shop- for how long, we don't know! A very bizarre thing.
Aside from mysterious happenings like this, we are shipping as usual from the shop- thank you as always for your orders <3 Our pleated pants should be arriving soon, as well as our peter pan coat- both in the most incredible textured cotton- close to a seersucker, but a bit more lofty with a unique, crisp texture. It's very lightweight and so comfortable- 100% japanese cotton <3 I will post here when these pieces arrive at the shop.

We are thrilled to announce that our ruffle collar dresses have arrived! This dress features gathering around the neck and collar- the collar can be worn up or down. It has a tie closure in the back, pockets and a length that hits at upper to mid-calf. These have just been added to our online shop- along with the skirts we mentioned in the last post :) I wore our first sample of the dress in the blue and white version last summer, and I will say it was the most comfortable, most cool, breezy dress. It is what I wanted to put on every day in the heat.
