Darr, Hollander & Lexer

Another great store further down Atlantic is 

DARR

I love the wooden table set with wooden dinnerware

I would think it too much but actually it is really beautiful, it has a simplicity and purity.

I did purchase a beautiful Horn bangle for $30

(will post it later)

They stock the incredible 

Cote de Bastide 

line of fragrance and candles which I have loved ever since I bought 

my first Fig room scent from 

The Cross

10 years ago

The same owners also have a store across the street 

Hollander & Lexer

Where they sell their own line of locally made menswear, 

although when I dropped in there were quite a few items I coveted for my own wardrobe,

along with a few selected labels.

love this image of old shoe lasts from their site

so enjoy shopping 

and buy local whatever that locale may be

Red Hot

Are you "Feeeling" red hair, like me!

 

.....Is it Jane from sea of shoes, who just went red.

 Or Joan from Mad Men, - just finished watching season 1 and 2 in a box set marathon!

Maybe it's Grace Coddington, - saw "The September Issue" today, the word Noble comes to mind to describe her!

Or possibly its Dame Vivienne Westwood, - new "Red" collection now up on style.com,  don't some people just get better with age.

 Or it could be French designer Sonia Rykiel, whose blog Rykielles I was just looking at after Garance Dore posted about being invited to her showroom!

Again red on an older woman is just so chic, no? 

I was red about 10yrs ago when my first son was born, after a disasterous home dye job, think greenish instead of platinum, red was the cover up.

 

sorry about really bad 10yr old polaroid image.

Maybe its time to crack open the hair dye once more.
