New to the Neighborhood

Tomorrow’s the day! Our new retail store in SoHo (that’s in NY… if you didn’t know) will be opening tomorrow and we’re beyond stoked!

Of course we’re throwing a little get together to celebrate. You know us… we love any reason to break out the bubbly. So if you’re in the neighborhood or if you love us so much you want to book a flight to NY like right now, definitely stop by! We’ll be toasting with champagne and shopping all evening long. The celebration will continue until the end of the week with 20% off all DV and Dolce Vita merchandise. PLUS we’ll be giving away a free head-to-toe look to one lucky shopper. Do we know how to celebrate or what?!

For those who can only be there in spirit, check out the photos of the store below! All our new Spring arrivals look perfectly at home amongst those gorgeous reclaimed racks and vintage furniture.

Make it or break it

category Fashion // Friends // Shoes

What’s the first thing you see when you look at a person? I see shoes. Mostly because my head is already tilted downwards and I’ve got my phone whipped out texting, tweeting, facebooking, emailing, and generally avoiding all physical human interaction (I love talking to people! Just not face to face).

But anyways, I am a firm believer — and I know I’m not the only one — that your shoes make you or break you.

I mean, look at blogger Daniella’s outfit. My first thought is, “OMG, how rad! I could live in this.” But let’s imagine the same white tank top and jorts with sneakers… now I’m thinking “ew, did you forget you’re not at the gym?” And now let’s imagine some flip flops… “how rude, that’s just asking for a slap in the face.”

See? Having a great pair of shoes totally makes an outfit.

My girl crush Jessica, from Vintage Virgin is back! And she’s taking our favorite oxfords out on the town.

101

category Apparel // Fashion // Friends // Shoes

I’m really inspired to rewatch Disney’s 101 Dalmatians right now. And it’s definitely because of our new spotted apparel! If you look closely at the pattern you can see the spots aren’t perfect polka dots but more like the splatterings a Dalmatian has.

Oh Cruella, you silly little diva. You don’t have to resort to dognapping to get your hands on these fun prints!
