SlowCoast Pop-Up Boutiques


I am currently enjoying a gorgeous road trip along the California Coast. I wasn't looking for a great shopping find, but I came across SLOWCOAST's Airstream boutique. I saw a few of their pop-up shops on my trip but this one was my favorite.

Like the farm to table, slow food movement, SLOWCOAST has a relaxed, artisanal approach to their collection. They offer their own collection of surf style-inspired clothing, handmade bath products, vintage farm shirts and edibles. 
The created a comfy seating area with hay bales and old blankets. The Airstream trailer smelled  beautiful from their natural spa line. A rustic fenced off area grew "slow food".

Slowcoast is committed to a sustainable, organic, hand crafted lifestyle. This also extends to their event planning. Couples who enjoy these qualities can work with the company for their own weddings. They also have a service to put together gift boxes for corporate programs as an alternative to the typical gifting programs.

Their business benefits several causes. They believe in saving turtles, preserving the ocean, forests and giving back to the community. You can purchase Slowcoast's Causebar products to benefit a specific cause.

If you find yourself surfing, exploring or just browsing along a California beach, step into SLOWCOAST's serene world.

Dover Street Market - Arts Week Open House

comme des garcons

Dover Street Market is my favorite temple of avant-garde fashion. I love that it brings contemporary art and style to the Murray Hill neighborhood in New York, an otherwise unchic area of the city. Comme des Garcons' Rei Kawakubo has always been a pioneer of conceptual fashion. Dover Street Market completely refreshes their gallery/boutique to exhibit new artwork and merchandise for a totally new shopping experience every few months, which makes it one of NYC's most interesting retail destination.

Last Thursday's open house revealed installations by Craig Green, The Great Frog, and Undercover. The red sculptural pieces up top are from the Comme des Garcons section of the store. On the first floor, there was a big archway devoted to the Converse and Comme des Garcons collaboration featuring the red eyes motif.

For designers, there were luxury sections of fashion forward menswear from Thom Browne and Comme des Garcons again. For women, designers included Valentino, Simone Rocha, Prada, Miu Miu and Azzedine Alaia. Kids could pick from lots of fun (but VERY expensive) stuffed toys and accessories.

Most fun are the 4F showroom and galleries where you can find the most artistic runway fashion, that may not be for the most practical consumer. The beauty of Dover Street Market is that such trivial details don't matter in the face of design. Happy shopping!

Black Friday Shopping Online



I am thankful this year for the opportunity to work with amazing people and the good fortune to spend time with the people I love. However, for those working in retail, they may not have the chance to do either as they are forced to work grueling hours for rude customers today.

Do everyone a favor and shop ONLINE. Send a message to the stores that it just isn't worth opening their doors during the holiday when they can be just as profitable online with less fuss to everyone. Really, do you really want to line up in the cold and fight the crowds when you could be binge-watching something under the covers and eating pie?
