new arrivals keep coming!

We have some amazing pieces in this autumn. New jewelry designer Niki Jacoby just dropped by with gorgeous new cut out metal earrings with antler, wing, feather and petal motifs. We also have a couple of her one of a kind necklaces and bracelets.



Also, a new batch of knit dresses, sweaters and tops by Portland based designer Varnish Clothing. We love this plum jersey dress with the ruffled neckline. Wear it layered over a thin top or with a warm cozy cardi over it. Necklace by Birna Sigurbjornsdottir and Belt by ZUZUPOP.


So many more arrivals, stop by and see what's new!
