A dose of color.
Aren’t these colorful beauties from YARNZ just what the doctor ordered to get through another dreary East Coast winter? The cashmere and silk blend is so lightweight for all day wear, but substantial enough to keep your precious neck warm and cozy.
Sneak peek: Margarita Saplala/Spring ‘09
We are excited about Margarita‘s latest collection for Spring. She’s still creating super innovative textiles, but is incorporating silk as well as her signature soft jersey knits.

First Friday in February: Nicole Wittelsberger
Shine looks at Love and Danger this month with the paintings and prints of Nicole Wittelsberger. The Baltimore native’s work wasn’t intended to be an obvious look at love, it just happened that way. Her 80′s punked treatment of canvas and subject, respect to the figure and nod to fashion illustration is a combination we [...]

There’s Your Boyfriend- Jean, I mean. Joe’s version of the hottest denim trend this season arrives this week and it’s everything you expect from Joe’s. Great quality, great fit and the crop is perfect with boots. Wear them now, wear them through Spring and Summer with flats and sandals.
L’ahhhhnine
Around this time of year my skin turns into dry toast which is why the timing of the L’annine lotion delivery @ Shine Collective couldn’t be better. First of all, L’annine smells absolutely amazing- I’m torn between avocado and jasmine, but mango and lemon are equally yummy. It’s a natural scent that’s not overpowering. As [...]
Hampden got Lucky.
A few Hampden shops were just featured in the Baltimore/DC section of February Lucky! Six great reasons to come shop the neighborhood.
The Spring ‘09 Report.
I’m not pretending like we aren’t steeped in the dead of winter right now- but we are inspired by, literally, a very bright future. During a cold and dreary two days at shows Intermezzo and Circuit in NYC, we were given a much needed dose of vibrant pinks, purples and bright yellows. We saw an [...]
