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.
Most of you must be thinking that Amy and Leo are lazy bastards. They stopped writing and forgot all about all of us readers. Fear not we have been keeping busy even while Amy adjusts to her new schedule. This weekend we spent finishing off our first set of t-shirts for our new line Lucyology. Once we get the rest of the shirts photographed I’ll ordering will be available. The intention of the t-shirts line is to make shirts that aren’t too girly, but at the same time are not butch, we’re really just going for scary. So checkem out and look to be able to order by sometime next week.
Edit (by Leo): Sorry my English is not so good so it turns out cupcakes are different from muffins. For local readers, in or around Philadelphia, our favorite cupcakes muffins are sold across the street from us at The Pond (630 N 2nd St just south of Fairmount and 2nd). They’re provided by Baker Jim our local culinary cupcake craftsman. All of the baked goods he sells there are awesome, but the various berry filled cupcakes are simply nothing short of amazing, not to mention that they’re a steal at $2.

Check out J Brand jeans, I just bought a pair of their cigarette jeans, in black. I purchased mine at Knit Wit, a philly fave, they are also available through Rawclothing. Don’t bother looking at the J Brand website because it looks dreadful.
The simple style of this jean is a relief from all the cluttered destroyed denim that is still lurking in stores. The solid black color is refreshing, today’s market is sooooo saturated with blue washed out and blasted legs, it’s time to try something solid. These jeans are needed now more than ever, with all the long tunic tops which are so popular right now we need a simple smooth waistband and back pockets ( to avoid unfortunate bulges). These snug fitting jeans are ‘tapered with a 15″ leg opening’, translation: your foot will actually fit through the bottom opening without lots of tugging!
Honeymilk is a concept store based on the idea of gift giving. The shop is located in the back of Vagabond (37 N 3rd St, Philadelphia). This space has been the breeding ground of many boutique/fashion moguls, think Emma Luv and Sodafine. The products in Honeymilk are made by young artists and designers, their creations are mostly as one of a kind pieces and small editions.
The store has a variety of gifts ranging from paintings, baby+dog clothing, to Kinked Works tees, and jewelry. Linda (one of the owners) is especially know for her intricately cut leather earrings, she has begun a collection of Valentines’ Day necklaces with charms and lockets which are great ideas as gifts.
