toms toms toms toms toms (are in)

When people ask me if Toms are comfortable I always say that they are insanely comfortable, but I wouldn't go hiking or anything in them.  Well, I did.  In the Puerto Rican rain forest.  And they WERE comfortable!

No need to be super jealous, though.  We just got in a new shipment of toms (including the Ash canvas that I am wearing above) so you can pick up a pair for yourself.

For women, we have the following styles:

And for Men:

I am a summer person.  But even summer people have to admit that summer clothes are not nearly as exciting as fall clothes.  The amazing styles and fabrics that are rolling into Tigertree for fall more than make up for the dropping temperatures that we are about to start experiencing.  Here is a sampling of my favorite pieces that came in this week:

Anna Sweater Blouse and Tudor Blazer, both by Dear Creatures

Cashmere Cardigan, LA MADE Linen Stripe Racerback Tank, Ace & Jig

Veronika Jacket, Eryn Brinie

Blossom Dress, Dear Creatures

Travel Case, Orla Kiely

As always, you can check out the website for pricing and photos of clothing on models (instead of our chalkboard). 

Also a reminder,  Galley Hop is tomorrow!  I will bake up some special treats for the occasion and we will be at the store for a good 12 hours.  Come see us! 

Mods Vs. Rockers

We are throwing a Mods Vs. Rockers event with our friends at Milk Bar this Sunday night.  We'll have free stuff from Ben Sherman and discounts on Fred Perry and Ben Sherman merchandise.  Milk Bar has some deeply discounted Brixton hats and scored us some free PBR.  The Mod side is clearly winning already since we have FREE Ben Sherman stuff and they have DISCOUNTED Brixton stuff.  Line-up is at 5 PM (Scooters at Tigertree, Motorcycles at Milk Bar, Mopeds I guess can choose), we'll hang out for a few minutes and look at each other bikes, fix whatever broke on the way here and buy some gear if you are in need.  Then we'll take a quick ride through downtown, ending up at Late Night Slice where we'll keep looking at bikes, fix some stuff that broke on the ride through downtown and watch Quadrophenia on the wall. 
You should all help me convince Niki to ride my moped, unless my scooter breaks down again between now and then, in which case I'll need it.

Ace & Jig

I have a small handfulll of ideas to show for my thousands of dollars of  debt from business school.  One of them I will share with you here (for free!): Specialization. 
Think about  people/companies that just do one thing: Raising Canes, Manolo Blahnik, Ray Bans.. just pick something and be awesome at it!
Enter Ace & Jig.  The two brooklyn based desigers (former founders of  LaROK) went to India to fabricate one amazing textile for their debut collection.  No denim, tees or knitwear, just one incredible yarn-dyed woven fabric. A fabric that could lead many lives, and tell many stories. I love the idea of defining a season by one fabric- especially when the fabric is so good!  There are two color ways and we have a sampling of styles in both.

Fjällräven Shipment

Word has is that every generation of Scandinavian kids have worn Fjällräven's backpacks since they debuted in 1978. The classic design is the same today as back then and remains just as popular.   We've got a great selection of colors in now!

What's New

We are thrilled to be carrying Shwood sunglasses!  Each pair is hand carved in Portland from Maple or Zebrwood.  Our first shipment came in last week and they are going fast!

 

We got our first shipment of the season of outerware yesterday. Lots of nice lightweight coats to wear as soon as the temperatures start to fall a bit and into the winter. We got four styles in from Tulle, all are under $100!

A Peak in the Tigertree Closet

The Alive dropped by our house earlier this week to take a peak in our closet and get harrassed by our dogs.  You can see the article here.
