China Print

Traci,

I love prints... You know this...This particular blue and white, porcelain china-inspired print reminds me of my mom and something she would totally rock! I'm pretty sure she has sheets exactly like this that she inhereted from my great grandma.
Brings back memories of my great grandma's house with the wrap-around porch that had the old porcelain tubs, an oak vanaty where I would try on her clip on earrings, and of course the printed cotton sheets she had on her four post bed.

United Nude

Elena-
United Nude opened up a New York Flagship store today. The interior of the store has glowing back lit frames highlighting each shoe. I wanted to show you the photos because it reminded me of the light instillation you told me about in the Mykita boutique in Berlin. I first heard about United Nude from my friend Helena and I think their architectural show designs are so cool.

Elena-

I love your idea of riding your bike to work... you are right though- it would take a while to get there! Here are some cute cross body bags...just enough room for some snacks :)

PaperBag Rider

Traci-

I'm on the search for a bike this summer. I have this vision of waking up, throwing a sun dress on, and then riding a bike to work... And then I realize that I work at least 20 miles away:)

The picture below is an old picture of Diane Kruger riding her bike, but she is exactly the person I think of when it comes to summer and biking. (I even love her scarf!)

On the same note, I've also been looking for a cute cross body bag to go with a bike. Something that could carry a snack on the 20 miles to work:)

I honestly haven't found many cross body bags that are truly appealing. I saw this bag below by Emporio Armani and thought it looked classic and simply. The best part is that it's not leather- it's a fabric bag which would be perfect to stay up with the "green-ness" of bike riding:) This Fabric Shoulder Bag I found on Farfetch.com.

Lena,
I know it's time to put the scarfs away. I mean..we do live in southern california... but somehow I ended up buying 2 more Sir Alistair Rai scarves last week. I love this line!

I downloaded the Mumford & Sons album Sigh No More and I can't stop listening. They are playing at the Music Box in L.A. in June- we should all go!

Trend: Clogs

Elena-

I was also hesitant when I started to see the revival of clogs... But I have to say the more I see the new versions designers are coming out with I am warming up to the idea pretty fast. They were everywhere at Market too- Here are some of my favorites:

Now I need to decide which ones I want!

Reality Check

Hey T-
Hope you are having a blast in N.Y.!
So lately I've been seeing clogs in a lot of editorials. I have yet to seem them actually worn on someone in L.A. Since you are at Coterie, how many people are wearing them? And are they cute?
I don't know how I feel about it...
Here are some that I found on ASOS.com.

Talk Soon!

Elena
