Lovely spring/summer collection from Joie is in the store. Apart from the silk tops that we’ve come to rely on, there is an eye-catching use of lace in a short sleeve top and tank dress. Dressed up with cashmere or dressed down with denim, these pieces are perfect for warmer days.

We recently received more comfortable yet flattering denim from James Jeans. The Twiggy legging is our most popular from the line and has the perfect amount of stretch. It comes in dark blue, white and black.

The Twiggy crop is a great option for warmer days and we have it in a pale faded blue, cameo stripe, and a washed dark blue. Also there are alternatives to the legging such as the Juliette which is a slim leg flare and the Reboot which is a skinny boot style.

About the jewels…

Perle du Bois is a collection of handcrafted jewelry, combining original antique art medals from Europe, South America, Asia and the USA, with exotic hand turned wood beads, vintage chains, silver, antique ivory, carnelian, and other semi precious stones. Many of the art medals originate from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, designed and engraved by the likes of JC Chaplain, Oscar Roty, Daniel DuPuis, Paul DeVreese, and other leading Medalists of the day.

Collectors of Perle du Bois appreciate the beauty, timeless style, story and inherent value of the pieces.

Each piece tells a story.

New boot styles from Freebird by Steve Madden are in the store for spring! The Kano boot which comes in ivory and brown is a low ankle boot with a nod to the Southwest, thanks to the woven cotton textile and leather that is distressed to perfection.

The Cabcro ankle boot in ivory combines feminine and masculine elements with lace inset into distressed leather which makes them more cowgirl than cowboy.
