New Arrivals: The Podolls

The Podolls silk winged blouse (205) and Found Denim Juliette skinny jeans (176)

The Podolls winged blouse is back, but this time in Italian dyed silk. We love how the marbled effect looks with black jeans. Add ankle boots and you’re done. Or while you’re at it, pile on some Gabriela Artigas jewerly. First Fall outfit. Check.

Hope you’re staying cool. We’re going through a heat wave here. Hug.

Waiting and waiting for Lover

Introducing Aussie line, Lover. The pieces are a mix of tailored and relaxed. We’ll have the brown dress, grey jumper and wool coat (in navy) in store soon. From what I can tell from the online tracking status, it’s still in customs in Los Angeles. The shipment will be here any day now, friends.

The longest Sunday ever


(Sunday, Isabel Marant, Gabriela Artigas and siblings @ House on Genesee)

Sunday was one of those lazy relaxing days. There was even time to take pictures in the midst of preparing for a day trip to LA. In LA we saw Etoile and loved the collection. There’s going to be some great stuff in here come Spring.

After our appointment Mary and I hightailed it to West Hollywood to see jewelry designer, Gabriela Artigas, at her showroom on Genesee. We’re such huge fans of Gabriela’s jewelry, and we brought back some more of her goodies. All in all it was a great trip. Keep checking back to see some pretty great things!

Fancy Pants

We are really loving our pieces from Wren’s Fall Collection! You may have seen the paint-splattered pants from Wren on this blog or in the store. The pants are whimsical and sophisticated at the same time, which is an aesthetic that Wren pulls off every season. Imagine my surprise when I walked into Josef today and saw a second pair of crazy/cool Wren pants! Behold the details of the Leopard Jacquard Pants:

Wren Leopard Jacquard Pants (350)

These are some fierce pants. What if I wore them with the Wren Cat Tee? Would that be cat lady chic? That’s a thing, right?

I’m so sad that this is my last day at Josef! I’m going to miss hanging out with Felicia in the store, but I can’t wait to see what she has in a few months when I come home again. Thanks for reading!

It’s never too early for the chunky

Twinkle Casual Twist scarf (134) and Wren Dream On slouch tee (79)

We’ve been getting in some great things for Fall. These 2 pieces from Wren and Twinkle just arrived yesterday. They’re a good start to the perfect chilly summer night outfit. Throw on a pair of your skinniest distressed jeans and cowboy boots, and you’re done.

Oh yes, we also got in Twinkle Jewelry for the first time in store. The necklaces and bracelets are statement pieces, so get ready to get your chunky on! Pictures coming soon.

White Jeans?

(turnedout, altamira)

White jeans. Some women do, others don’t. I’m on the don’t side, however, Tracy and Beata have me reconsidering. It’s a definite yes to the cutoffs. The long length pants have always been something I’ve tried to stay away from — sort of like piecey bangs.

For those that do, we have white Paul & Joe Sister Jeans on sale now for $89. Available in sizes 25 and 27. Narrow straight leg and hemming required. They’re super long.

Staff picks

Steven Alan Braided Tank on sale (84)

Vanessa Bruno Cardigan (150)

If you live in the SF Bay Area, you know it hasn’t been that warm. So, we’ve had our eye on these 2 pieces to wear together (cardigan fully unbuttoned) during the day or to a casual night out with skinny jeans and flat boots à la Allison Mosshart. There’s a serious girl crush going on here.

Barcelona’s Beauties

I found these photos on a blog that I follow solely for the images, since I don’t understand a word of French. The author got some fantastic streetstyle shots from Fashion Week in Barcelona. I really, really wish I was a chic Spanish woman right now. How they pull it off in the heat is completely beyond me.
