Josef: Weekly roundup

• This week many had many highs and lows. If you haven't heard already, Domino Magazine is closing. It played a very influential part in the design of our shop, and we're sad to see it go.
• The 3rd group of Anna Sui Spring arrived and is available in store. Check back soon on our online shop in the next week or so. We're working on getting them there as I write. In the group are the embroided pansies dress, geo patchwork top, and multi print blouse. All are in creams, blues, periwinkles and black.
• We started to update our Facebook more frequently. If you like our clothes and our blog posts, become a fan! Click here to view our profile.
  

We hope you had a good week. Here's to an even better weekend!

What I've learned at Josef

Since opening late last year, I've made a few very interesting realizations - some are directly related to owning a boutique, nonetheless, I thought I'd share them with you today.
1. It gets really dusty in a retail space. I haven't quite found out why yet, I just figure it's from all the clothing. The Swiffer Sweeper has become a valuable fixture in the store. I use it every morning thinking that it won't be that dusty, but it's always shocking to see the dry cloths when I'm done.
2. You can buy just the greenery at a florist shop. This morning I tried to do that and got the lovely arrangement in the picture above. There are some lemon leaves, green berries and even some curly willow branches. It was deal too! Just over 2 bucks for the arrangement. What I like to do is bring the vase to the florist and they'll arrange it for you.
3. A Bartoli Chair in white kind of looks like your standard issue patio furniture. It may just be the one at the shop, and the desk I use with it. Just wanted to give you a heads up though.
OK, you probably could've gone on with your life without knowing such things, but some of it, I hope, was useful if not entertaining. Just for hanging in there with me, I've created a little slideshow of Josef for you. Enjoy!

Anna Sui resort, group 3

Just in at Josef is Anna Sui's third of three resort collection groups. Included are the embroidered pansies dress, mixed print blouse and geo patchwork top. The pansies dress (left) has wonderful batwing sleeves, while the mixed print blouse (center) has a keyhole back and defined waistband. The geo patchwork blouse (right) has fabric applique creating the geometric design that reminds us of exquisite quilt work. They just arrived yesterday, so be the first to own one of these amazing pieces!

Twinkle short-sleeve shawl cardigan

Hope you had a greet weekend. Today we're featuring Twinkle by Wenlan's shawl cardigan from her pre-spring collection. The striped shawl is attached to the sweater and has a generous length to wrap around your shoulders and neck. It's made from 100% viscose. We love how it's styled with a neutral colored skirt and open-toe booties. Wenlan Chia has a great eye for color and innovation, and this cardigan is proof. If you're looking of one unique piece of the season, we highly recommend this one!
