OK. This may sound lame but I love this movie. In fact I only own one DVD and Teen Witch is it. Brad! So hunky! Well, not really but what I love about this movie is how perfectly of the moment it is. Like a time capsule. In no other time but 1989 could this movie have been made. This "Rap" is so painful that my boyfriend cringes whenever he catches me watching TW (he always seems to walk into the room during this scene.) Oh Rachel we are kindred spirits. Enjoy. Alia and Jack (Rachel's Brother) are hilarious!
My friends at OMFG. Co. and I have been working on a new look for Frances May. In the last year we have grown and changed so much, introducing men's, new designers, and webstore, we thought this would be the perfect time to update our look. I hope everyone approves. The inspiration is vintage grammar school flash cards much like the ones my great-grandmother Frances May used in her 2nd grade classroom. We would love feed back as we transition into our new branding. Best, Pamela

A pocket watch (or pocketwatch) is a watch that is made to be carried in a pocket, as opposed to a wristwatch, which is strapped to the wrist. They were the most common type of watch from their development in the 16th century until wristwatches became popular after World War I during which a transitional design, trench watches were used by the military. Pocket watches generally have an attached chain to allow them to be secured to a waistcoat, lapel, or belt loop, and to prevent them from being dropped. The chain or ornaments on it is known as a fob. They often have a hinged metal cover to protect the face of the watch; pocketwatches with a fob and cover are often called "fob watches"; however no early references for the term, "fob watches" have been located. Also common are fasteners designed to be put through a buttonhole and worn in a jacket or waistcoat, this sort being frequently associated with and named after train conductors.
Just in today! Give a call if you have any questions. It might take a few days to get this on the website. My only gripe is that they don't do women's. Boys are lucky.
This is short film from a new designer my Grandmother and I feel in love and will be carrying for Spring. Where is what style.com had to say about it:
The inspiration for Apiece Apart designers Laura Cramer and Starr Hout’s new Spring collection included all of the following: Josef Albers, color theory, Lawrence of Arabia, David Hockney’s painting, and early Joan Didion. But for the video they shot to accompany the collection, they threw yet another into the mix: Ingmar Bergman’s Persona. “It seemed like an interesting idea to play with, that blurring and exchanging of identities,” says Cramer.
Despite the bouillabaisse of references, Cramer and Hout’s short, which was directed by KT Auleta in Montauk and styled by Avena Gallagher, has a lovely serenity to it, emphasizing their ideas about movement, volume, and jolts of color. Though the video sets forth a “clothes make the woman” theme, both Hout and Cramer take pains to point out that Apiece Apart operates on the opposite assumption. “As always, we’re providing these very simple garments for women to play with,” says Cramer. “This season, we’re inviting her to try strong color and giving her cool, easy pieces like culottes and bodysuits to work into her wardrobe.” She adds, “It’s about her pulling Apiece Apart into her world and making it part of her identity, not the other way around.” —Maya Singer
