kara-lines

we never met a cowl we didn't like

or a cute floral top for that matter

all in the family

this little black dress (a kara-line louisa in embroidered cotton)

has a bold cousin (louisa with sleeves in a great vintagey floral)

who's got several sisters (like olive and mae, to name just a few)

 

where did the week go?

we ask this of ourselves a lot

it's been super busy here, as summer is for all of us

we're popping in to say...

there's new kara-line on the racks!

so blue

loving the unexpected horizontal stripes on a new shirt from ever

and while we're on the subject of blue...

we've recently received several new denim styles and washes from our favorite jean lines

straight leg and skinny jeans with high rises from james and a slim boyfriend from red engine are in the shop now

and to make room for the new styles, we've marked several others on sale

if you need jeans, now's the time to stop by tumbleweed
