Modern Romance
Forget the fairy tale. We’re interested in the good stuff: chemistry, trust, staying power—and still finding ways to surprise each other. This week’s new arrivals have all of the above: Vanessa Bruno, Apiece Apart, Lisa Yang, Rosie Assoulin and Gola. Beautiful things you’ll want to spend some time with, made for real life, real wardrobes and the long haul. Call it a Modern Romance.
Rosie Assoulin
Rosie Assoulin knows her way around a grand gesture—but look a little closer and it all starts with something wonderfully familiar. A shirtdress. A cardigan. A blazer. Great separates. Then come the details: unexpected color, contrast stitching, playful proportions, a little flourish where you least expect it. Rosie is here to keep the spark alive.
Lisa Yang
Some relationships just get better with time. This delivery brings back the Lisa Yang pieces we already know and love: the Stockholm beanie, the perennial Sandy sweater, and the 14-gauge cashmere that quickly became one of our most-worn favorites. Add one seriously good coat and there’s really no need to reinvent anything. If you haven’t gotten your hands on one yet, consider this your introduction. If you already have? We fully support making room for another.
Keeping the spark alive
same jacket, different chemistry
Vanessa Bruno
A little tomboy, a little romantic—and very good at being both. Vanessa Bruno pairs ruffles and lace with denim, sturdy jackets and pieces made to work hard in your wardrobe. Nothing gets too sweet, nothing gets too serious. It’s that particular French knack for putting seemingly opposite things together and making the combination feel completely natural.
Apiece Apart
This is a quieter Apiece Apart than seasons past—and we’re into it. The prints and sweeping dresses have made room for pieces with serious staying power: tried-and-true pants, great sweaters and just enough personality to keep things interesting. Apiece Apart is making its intentions clear: they’re in it for the long haul.
Gola
Because even a Modern Romance needs a reality check. Retro sneakers, great fall color, and something fun to wear with pretty much everything.
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.
