We love Caite!

Caite has delivered some bright and beautiful pieces this season. The navy tank has a crocheted back and colorful embroidering ($83). The green top has ruching at the shoulders and a diagonal line of ruching along the waist, super flattering ($63).

Looking for spring refreshment? Look no further. This embroidered tunic looks brilliantly fresh with denim or with a pair of cropped leggings. All this beauty for $83.

New woodenships sweaters!

Beautiful spring sweaters from woodenships have arrived. Great colors and shapes in soft easy knits.

Love the Garance Dore blog.

Garance Dore is a French illustrator and photographer who writes a beautiful blog about design, art, fashion and all other things she loves. She will, for instance, take a photograph of a well-dressed woman in Chelsea just because that woman is wearing a scarf that catches her eye. I love the simplicity of her blog, and the obvious joy she gets from people-watching on the streets of Paris and New York. Click here to explore her world.

Sorry to say, we are closed today.

Today, Wednesday, Feb 2, Helena's is closed due to the snow. We will open tomorrow with our regular hours, 10 AM to 8 PM. Stay warm, and if you are out on the roads, please drive carefully.

WBUR's "On Point" features Diane von Furstenberg.

Yesterday, iconic fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg was interviewed on the local WBUR program "On Point." Host Tom Ashbrook was audibly star-struck (and more than a little bit charmed) by her artsy nature and strong message of female empowerment. DvF tells women to wear clothes that are comfortable, stylish and make them feel strong, a view we, at Helena's, share with her. My favorite quote from her interview on NPR is, "I want to drive my own bus." To hear the interview, click here. If you want more, click here to read a 2008 interview with The Huffington Post.

Helena's CLOSED today at 1 PM.

Again, due to the blustery storm, we will close early today at 1 PM. If you have to be out on the roads today, please drive carefully.
