Anna Sui Dress


We just listed this amazing dress by Anna Sui on ebay! Size 8.

This lovely knit dress wraps around and snaps in the back. It has two great slouchy pockets in the front. It would look great with a thick leather brown belt cinched at the waist and a pair of brown boots. Or dress it up with a pair of heels.

Feel free to stop by Dovetail and try it on.

Love it? Buy it here.

Dog Lamp, Man's Best Friend

Man’s Best Friend Lamp


You work hard all day. You wake up before the sun is out, cram yourself onto a crowded train, sit in a cube for eight hours, and go home in darkness. You deserve a bright, smiling face to greet you when you come home.  This dog lamp can be that smiling face.  Aside from being inherently, unapologetically awesome, it's a two-in-one: a sculpture and a lamp. Bonus! Look at this loyal German Sheperd just sitting, waiting for you to take him home. Don't let him down. It's cold outside.
