Queen Bee bags have arrived!

They're here! We sent a wish list to Queen Bee in Portland, Oregon, and have been standing at the door waiting for UPS to arrive ever since. Today was our day!
(and boy is the UPS man relieved)

Jill McGowan


Just in - beautiful new shirts from Jill McGowan! We love her style and her attitude:

"I'm often asked if I'm doing anything 'green.' More than a gimmick, clearly, quality is green. Clothes you love and wear again and again? Green. Fabrics and fine workmanship that last? Green. And a garment designed and made right here in the USA? Knock a few feet off your carbon footprint!" - Jill McGowan

It turns out Jill McGowan is yet another thing we have in common with Martha Stewart.* She likes Jill's white shirts as much as we do.

Winding River clothing company


It's not my fault. It was cold when I got to work this morning. And the coat was jut THERE, waiting for me to buy it.

These Winding River jackets are made by a family-run business based in Braintree, MA. They are reversible and come in a bunch of groovy fabrics. They are spectacularly easy to justify. If you succumb to one, we won't tell.

new in Orleans


Audrey's being particularly diabolic these days. She's found several new lines of sweaters and scarves that are exquisitely hard to resist. In fact, I took one for the team and bought a drapey sweater in blue boucle just this morning.

It seemed the least I could do.
