When in San Francisco, I always stay in Hayes Valley. It has tons of cute shops and small places to get great food. For some reason I never noticed
Rose and Radish before, they have amazing home goods,kids toys, and an amazing flower/plant service.

Over the weekend Leo and I headed over to Lambertville, NJ. It’s a cute area that has a handful of small boutiques and vintage shops. I was shopping at
Bucks County Dry Goods (a great small chain of eclectic wares). I picked up a coat by Tulle which is super chic. I didn’t post a picture of it, because the pic on their site looks lame, but here is the
link to it. The above is another really cute number featured in
Marie Claire.

When you are on vacation, you always meet interesting people: in my case I usually forget their names or what they do exactly or never really caught it in the first place. Luckily, in LA, when my friend Heather introduced us to her friend Ophir Tanz, I already knew what he did: he’s a co-founder of the awesome wallpaper company, Cavern home. I’ve long coveted their blackbird wallpaper since I had seen it last year. Ophir was super nice and let us in on the fact that he and partner, Carly Margolis, will be moving into more homegoods soon! On route to our Sunset boulevard hotel that night, we passed the jewelry store, Kaviar and Kind, who’s kitschy storefront was perfected with one of their new designs.

Linda from Honeymilk has a great new
site where you can all purchase her fabulous hand crafted earrings (which I have so many pairs of, all essential, totally an addiction). She also has necklaces and garments for sale as well. This way all of you out-of-state-ers can get a glimpse of what Philly has to offer.

In rummaging through my magazine tears I found these amazingly cute wedding themed wrapping papers. Leo and I found them at
Rocket to Mars in Providence,RI. Rocket to Mars is my favorite place in the world for finding super kitsch household goods.

Single tier garments are the wave of the future (exhibit A+B, shown above). We have all been struggling with what the next skirt shape is, and here is my answer. The fashion industry constantly complicates skirts, always looking for a clever way to freshen up the most basic and necessary of garments. Let’s walk away from the skirt of last summer as (exhibit C, shown above) which is constructed from tier upon tier. Instead embrace the single tier looks shown above in examples A+B…I’ve recently purchased exhibit A at Vagabond (in Philadelphpia). It’s a one-of-a-kind jumper by Arwen Spargo. She runs the pattern in a variety of prints, stripes, knits, and wovens. Exhibit B is a recent purchase by my roommate, it can be worn as summer chic rather than being Boho as the single tiered long skirt has been in the past. I recommend keeping this shape neutral, i.e. beige or washed black to keep it from being too Calypso looking.

I stopped into Lost and Found (133 N 3rd St
, Philadelphia) it’s a great small boutique located in Old City. The shop carries a lot of small designers which are very affordable and there is also a good selection of vintage clothing pieces and accessories. One of my favorite new jewelry pieces they carried are these super cute retro-styled necklaces by Bijoux Luck. I also picked up an Obey t-shirt and a Brown Sound gingham shirt for my boyfriend. I’m really into their sharp styling of their men’s shirts, and the gingham looks super springy.

This weekend I stopped into Vagabond (37 N 3rd St Philadelphia, PA), my Philly favorite. This boutique always has quirky small designer items, and I totally fell in love with this pair of boots made by Melissa Yerkes. Cowboy boots are finally acceptable to wear again, and I decided to celebrate by purchasing this lovely hand stamped and trimmed pair. This was their only pair, but I kindly invite you to DIY and just stamp allover your shoes with fabric printing ink.
If you get the chance to pop into Vagabond, make sure to check out the StellaPop sweaters (I had to pick up one of those too!). One of the owners, Mary Clark makes amazing hand knit sweaters which have recently been mentioned in NYLON mag, and are soon to be gracing the retail spaces of Barney’s CO-OP. She’s a sweetie and will do special orders for you if there is a certain color combo you just have to have, or if you need a special size.
