This is Rosie Assoulin at her summertime best. Inspired by the farmer's market, these pieces celebrate the everyday rituals that make the season memorable: fresh flowers on the table, dinner with friends, one more stop before heading home. Playful prints, crisp cottons, and silhouettes that make ordinary moments feel just a little more special.
I took my sweet time before pulling the trigger on bringing Rosie Assoulin into our mix at Tea & Oranges—but I’m so excited to finally have her here. Specifically, her “Core” collection. Think of it as the everyday counterpart to her more formal, higher-priced evening pieces: still full of personality, but designed to show up in your real life. These are clothes meant to add a little zest to your day, not wait around for a special occasion.
What makes Rosie so special is her point of view. She has this incredible way of taking familiar, almost traditional elements—think menswear shirting and classic tailoring—and turning them into something entirely her own. There’s always a twist: a playful proportion, an unexpected silhouette, a detail that makes you look twice. And then there’s the color. Rosie doesn’t shy away from it—she dives in headfirst. From crisp stripes to bold, joyful prints (many designed by Rosie herself), these pieces have a way of waking up your wardrobe.
And while the designs feel special, they’re surprisingly wearable. A striped dress that feels equal parts polished and easy. A gingham moment that manages to be both classic and fresh. Pieces that stand on their own but also play well with what you already own. That balance—between statement and simplicity—is what makes this collection feel so right for us.
At Tea & Oranges, we’re always looking for clothes that earn their place in your closet, and Rosie’s Core line does just that—just with a little more personality (and a lot more fun).
