GF

I saw Girlfriends directed by Claudia Weill at BAM last night. One in the series of girl centric films curated by Lena Dunham.

Satchels should be the new tote.

ESLEEP WEAR

Yesterday I was reminiscing about ESLEEP brand pajamas—oversized, jersey style sleep shirts accompanied with boxer shorts. Huge in the late 80s – early 90s. Remember? via Ebay I found the most unusual ESLEEP sleepwear—a button down, collared shirt with native americana style graphics complete with 2-D fringe! What?! Buy it now.
