New Favorite Windows...


Aritzia on Broadway in Soho,  I like them better than Madewell...



Love the poncho...


It is like going to temple, there is a sense of reverence; nobody whould dare put their cafe lattes on these books (to my B & N peeps).  Cool book with elegant and stripped down principals.
