Beat the Heat

white saja dress.jpgIt's 90 degrees outsides. Again.

We're flying through our stock of weightless, little dresses faster than we can make it to the laundry room, and there's no way in hell we're shimmying into any kind of pant/short on a day like today.

Our solution? Why, shop, of course.

So we came across this light, swingy cream dress by Saja on Gargyle's site, and we're in love. It's 100% cotton, includes pockets with an unexpected collar, and it's half off. The only problem? It only comes in three sizes right now (4, 6 and 8), so many of us are cut off from the fun.

But here's a little extra information: Gargyle's moving into a new space this week, to 16a Orchard Street (near Canal) and will be open starting this coming Monday. As part of their move to Manhattan, they're going to carry more designers - think Opening Ceremony for men, Surface to Air, Acne and Foley + Corinna. Maybe they'll even have this Saja dress in a few more sizes.

ooh, lots of cute stuff on there...

also, I have a question/suggestion:

question: which shops in the city stock charles anastase? I feel like I am slightly overpaying when I order from overseas shops (maybe not, though), but I can't figure out how to make the "stockists" part of his site work (this could be due to my own stupidity).

suggestion: fashionista, since a question like this obviously doesn't deserve it's own post in the community section, could there just be one big post or forum or whatever it's called where people could ask each other this type of question? Or is there a website that already does such a thing and I don't have to bother you for the info?

thanks,
kate

as a tip for the heat, carry a fan in your purse. im sure you can find a pretty lace one or a wooden one (sometimes the wooden ones have lovely painted designs on them) somewhere in new york. ive lived in thailand for the past 4 years (where 90 degrees is totally normal, all year round) and i can tell you that it really helps. and looks cute too : )
