Steady as She Goes
There’s something to be said for knowing what works.
This week, we’re leaning on a few of our most reliable players: Frank & Eileen, The Great and Moismont—brands we know, love and trust to make getting dressed easier (and better). Then there’s Mii: newer to us, already proving its worth, and bringing just enough unexpected color, pattern and personality to keep us on our toes.
Steady doesn’t have to mean predictable. Know what you love. Keep what works. And every once in a while, change the beat.
The Great
The Great knows how to make the fun stuff—the Canary Skirt, the leopard Vail Jacket, the Pony Cardigan. Distinctive, easy, and very good at making an outfit. But don’t overlook the quieter pieces. The Crop Tee and College Sweatshirt are made from the kind of dreamy fabrics that turn basics into favorites—the things you reach for when you’re just starting your longest days, and the things you can’t wait to put back on when those days are finally over. There’s a reason people love this stuff.
Frank & Eileen
Fall is starting to creep in—but Frank & Eileen knows better than to rush things. The new Rowan Jacket brings a hit of deep camel, while pale blues and lighter denim keep the whole picture feeling fresh. Old favorites are getting new tricks, too: the beloved Perry Tee meets their dreamy Triple Fleece, and suddenly two things we already loved become one very good idea. Add buttery-soft denim, easy shirting and a Southern Ireland dress ready for September now and layers later. Consider this fall, lightly.

Looks like fall. Works right now.
Moismont
Sometimes all it takes is a scarf. Moismont’s little squares have barely made it to the sales floor before finding new homes—and we get it. Lightweight cottons and wools bring color, pattern and just the right hint of fall without adding any real weight. Tie one at your neck, on your bag, wherever you please. Consider it the easiest way to tell your summer wardrobe that the season is changing.
Mii
À table! Come to the table. Mii’s latest collection begins with that familiar French call to gather—and celebrates everything that happens around it. Grandmother’s mismatched plates become a scarf. Blue-and-white porcelain lands on a sweater. Kitchen gardens, herbs and the rituals of a shared meal become prints meant to be worn. It’s joyful, unexpected and a little bit nostalgic—a reminder that some of the best inspiration comes from the things we do over and over again, with the people we love.
cut. paste. repeat.
James Gallagher at Tea & Oranges | Saturday, September 26
We’re welcoming NYC-based collage artist James Gallagher to Tea & Oranges for a day of cut paper, creativity and one-of-a-kind art. Stop by and watch James work as he creates complimentary expressionistic collage silhouettes for our customers—loose, gestural and made right here in the shop. He’ll also be accepting commissions for his distinctive collage portraits of people and pets. Come see what happens when scissors, scraps and a very good eye get to work.
