Weekly Line-We-Love: Curator!





Curator is a brilliant new line that we have brought into our spring collection! This line, established in 2001, is designed and produced in San Francisco by two best friends.  We love the simplicity, the versatility, and the amazing wearability.  Pull some of these pieces into your wardrobe to modernize you spring look.
Design Philosophy: 
Owners Stacy Rodgers and Deirdre Nagayama say: 
"Our every day lives test drive each item created for the line. We make the work horses of your wardrobe, the pieces that are first in and out of the laundry basket.
Over the last decade, we have developed long standing relationships with our vendors, who help us to both produce quality garments and to minimize waste. Whenever possible, we use organic fabrics in our designs. This is truly a labor of love and our life's work.

In the Fall of 2009,  we opened a retail location in the Upper Noe district of San Francisco. Tiny in actual size but ambitious in scope. On any given day you can find one of us there, designing or managing our next line, debating zippers, fitting customers and enjoying the many dogs of our neighborhood."
Pieces We Love: 
The Lena Chambray tunic, the easy cut woven pullover tops, and the amazingly soft boatneck tees in pretty textured stripes.  (These have been runaway hits at both stores.)

Leota with layers.

The print dress with a pop of color is a Helena's staple.  We love this look on all the women in our lives.  Here, is a marriage of Leota New York & Wooden Ships.  Two of our favorite lines!  Wear this beautiful dress with your favorite necklace.  Top it off with a little jacket or colorful cardy like this one.

The power of graphic print.

This Yumi London dress is a perfect example of an exquisite knit dress.  A navy and cream combination with a butterfly on the bodice.  Not too-literal, but just enough punch in color and graphic to make a statement.  A very pretty statement.  

Ella Moss does the peasant top like nobody else.


The quintessential look from Ella is a peasant blouse in white, cream or knock-out print.  The most recent Ella delivery brought us this pretty little thing.  This beautiful print top can pair with summer white pants, or any denim of your choosing.  




Layered look for spring!

Helena's loves to layer color, texture and print!  Here: Louie & Lucie lace green & ivory dress with Ecru white jacket and pastel printed bicycle scarf.  Pretty, versatile pieces that can be worn with other looks!  A white jacket is a must-have this season!
