Graduation

A time in which to reflect upon life as a child, gliding through years of education with the hopes of one day approaching this very moment- Graduation Day.  Your head is surely filled with excitement, joy, and a whole lot of other things like , ‘What will I wear?  Will I have a job? Do I move out of my parents house?”-and while some are more important than others, you can’t help but to ask.  While I cannot fulfill your philosophical wonders, I can help you get dressed!

For the boys, might I suggest a button down shirt from Descendant of Thieves? This line is unique in that only a certain number of each style are manufactured worldwide- meaning, no one else will be wearing what you are wearing.  The subtle interior hints of bright color really offset this from being a traditional boring shirt.  Plus, you can wear it to your first “real” job.

Shown below is a chambray-oxford shirt in a deep oceanic blue.

For you, ladies, I know it is the utmost importance to stand out on this special day.  We have unique dresses from lines that no one else in Norman carries and this buttery-yellow dress is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  My favorite part is the backside exposed black zipper, which really contrasts nicely with the yellow.

We most definitely have other styles available for ladies and gentlemen.  Stop by the shop and I can help you select the perfect outfit to complement you.  Our clothes are selected with great quality, something you will come to appreciate in your more mature years.  You’ll find yourself shopping more functionally than before asking yourself, ‘can I wear this to work, too?’-At  least that’s what I did!

Mothers Day

The day comes only once per year in which we celebrate our lovely mothers and all of the wonderful mothers in our lives.  I am so lucky to have my mom as I am sure you feel the same way about your mom.  It’s hard not to get a little homesick every now and again when thinking back to my childhood.  Sometimes I wish I could abandon my adult years for a time in which I had a lot less worries and a lot more moments to spend with my mother.   Unfortunately, the ability to reverse the clock has yet to be discovered therefore one can only adjust their present priorities to see mom just a little more often.

I’ve been contemplating for weeks what to get my Mother for her special day.  What gift could possibly express the unconditional love, respect, and appreciation for the woman who brought me into this world- and the woman who still provides so much support and nurturing to me- even in my adult years?

This photo was taken of our family about 6 years ago.  From left to right, my brother Tanner, my Stepdad Ryan, My mother Lisa, Me, below me my nephew Garrett, my sister Natascha and her husband, Brandon.

While no gift can truly express our feelings about our favorite mothers- a small token to represent our love and appreciation never hurt!

These glass blown hearts are a great trinket.  Each one is individually crafted by talented, local artisans, and no two could possibly be identical, just as no two mothers are entirely alike. These are wonderful for stacking mom’s favorite  rings or simply for decor.  Available in a multitude of colors and $35.00

 Perhaps your mother is a little more comical?  We have ‘Porn for Women’ which is a picture book describing all of the TRUE things that women really desire-such as having her husband vacuum, do laundry, and other general responsibilities. $14.95

If your mom is more of a fashionista, I would suggest one of our handmade infinity scarves or a piece of jewelry from one of our several artisans.

These simple stone necklaces are strung on vintage chains, scavenged for in the depths of New York.  The chains date back to the early 40′s-50′s.  Each stone is semi-precious and delicately assembled by hand. $25-35.

I hope this helps you to find the perfect gift for your mother, and as always I am happy to help you in the shop.

Bohemian Glam

Fashion always repeats itself and the once slightly frowned upon hippie is now making a come-back, this time with much more appeal.  Our modernized version of the once-was free spirit can now be called ‘granola’ or as fashion has it, ‘bohemian’.

The grouping of bohemian style has evolved from hippie descendants into a character with a little more glam and interest in every day fashion.  It would be contradictory to label hippies into fashion icons, as they were effortlessly put together; clothing was the farthest of cares from a true hippie’s agenda.

Might it be my refusal to use paper towels, my concern with saving water, or the tom’s toiletries stashed away in my bathroom…we certainly have a flair for bohemian-Glam in the shop!
