The dress of infinity.

Our favorite dresses* of the season is designed by Canadian designer Sonja Den Elzen. Sonja's line Theives infuses aesthetics cultivated from Sonja's love of design, tailored fashion and high end street fashion. An appreciation of art, the exploration of texture and a growing respect for the environment keeps Sonja exploring different raw materials and methods of construction providing subtle, yet distinct attention to detail, quality and style.

"Clothing helps form our identity and individuality as we would like to share it with the world."

This 5-in-1 dress is made from 100% lyocell an extremely light weight fabric which will be ideal for the summer months ahead. Due to the long winter we encountered, I can only imagine the heat and humidity that we will get hit with this summer. Although, no complaints here as I live for summer! Check out the video below to see how many different ways you can style the dress. I think it should really be called the dress of infinity, because that's how many options you have ;)

The dress is currently on back order and should arrive within the next 2 weeks. I highly recommend pre-ordering (call us at 212.680.5630 or online) as we do not get many sizes, and this one is for sure going to fly out the doors, as it already has done once this season.

Peace & Love,

Beyonce = Buck

I have been obsessed with this song at the moment. Beyonce is unbelieveable in this performance, a true artist. Def deserves the tribute to the fullest. Jimmy thought the 1st half of the performance was lame, I thought it was amazing. The timing skill and strength a dancer has to have in order to make it look amazing, still be entertaining, sing and look gorgeous.. I mean come onnn'! Beyonce is nothing shy of BUCK!

A Must see video by Aabaraki feat. Soul Khan - "Karate" Official Music Video. I watched the video about 2 days for the first time and have not been able to get the song out of my head. Yes, it is that good people. Just see for yourself.




Like McDonald's.. I'm Lovin' it,

Suri Does Yoga

Hey guys, sorry I've been a little MIA lately. It has been a bitch to steal internet from element n it takes forever to boot up once it is plugged into our actual modem. A-nnoy-ing. Anyway, besides that I have been feeling quite zen lately. I have been doing yoga for the past week and it has been phenomenal. I feel so much more stress-free, flexible, and just all around open. I have to get my act together a little bit and start doing it at normal hours though. Lately, I have been starting the video around 12 a.m. (stupid, i know) and I stop after an hour. Although I will say it completely relaxes me to fall asleep quicker. I was always one of those who would lay in bed for hours and could not get my brain to slow down enough to actually fall asleep. With an hour of breathing exercises, "relaxed eyes" and stretches under my belt I fall asleep pretty quick.

A few weeks ago I saw on Groupon that there was a coupon for Bikrim Yoga for a month of unlimited classes with a small fee. I called up Meggie to let her know, bc a friend in class is always a plus and was an opportunity to good to pass up. So we both bought it and have yet to us it lol. Hopefully this week we will start. But I will say this, I do think it was good that I was able to learn a few of the basics so I didn't look like a complete fool in class. Plus in bikrim its like 100 degree sauna, ones gotta prep for that!

Another funny thing about this whole experience is that when I am in my place of zen, Suri always likes to watch me as I am doing this. When I switch positions she always has to sniff it out, or in this case (downward dog) she likes to hump her baby beneath me. She's hilarious and adorable all at once. All in all, I highly suggest yoga if you have sleeping problems, sore muscles, achy back, or a cute pompoo that wants attention.


Just a lil baby Suri making sure I knew that she was on my mat. lol.
