Excellent use of space

We saw this photo on Design*Sponge today and thought it was so inspiring. It's exceptional to us because we know if we had this space, we'd turn it into a storage, catch-all area filled with clutter. Right? This just makes us want to go home and style a simple yet elegant nook in our own home -- a great weekend project. Happy Friday!

Bringing casual to Josef

B.Line a-line pocket tank (48)

B.Line boxy v-neck (57)

Today we're bringing you 2 new pieces from San Francisco-based Rebecca Beeson. The company has created a relaxed line with a boyfriend feel called B.Line. Both the tank and the v-neck are made from luxurious tissue weight cotton and in the USA. We're introducing the line with all white in the shop because we think both tops will sizzle with your summer skinny jeans and gladiator sandals. For fall wear the tees with your black denim skinny jeans and leather bomber jacket with booties. So for now, on extremely hot days wear either top with denim cutoffs and layer on the delicate gold necklaces. Enjoy!

Pieces that will get you through Summer

Now that summer is upon us, we're finding that we're reaching for some pieces more than others. First on our list is a pair of distressed jeans. These are perfect for adding a bit of edge to your look. However, keep the look clean by pairing them with a silk tank or cotton blouse.
Light-weight cotton tops have been great for us in the warm weather. We've been living in the Steven Alan and Paul & Joe Sister cotton tops offered at the shop.
Another staple we've been going back to is a pair of navy blue cotton-linen shorts by Wren. Although we've sold out on them, investing in a high-quality, dressy pair of shorts is a good idea. We've been able to wear them with t-shirts, cotton sweaters and blouses, and they look great with leather flats or sandals.
To balance out the summer separates, a couple of summer dresses are good to have on hand. Dresses are great because they're one-piece outfits and can be worn dressy or casual. Our favorites are the Yoana Baraschi Hippie Slip dress and the Twinkle Hour by Hour dress.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Arranging by color

We tried something new today. We arranged the store by color. It seems soothing to us.
Yay or nay?
