1. We were going to talk about how this shot of the Eagle Nebula by the Hubble Telescope reminds us of dress A and necklace Z, but frankly, we’re just better off leaving it here and letting it inspire you on its own.

     

  2. A cropped sleeve and chunky cuff courtesy No. 3 are the perfect combination for spring. The boxy, almost kimono-inspired silhouette of Henrik Vibskov’s Lowfire Shirt is easy and breezy and the wide sleeve gives you plenty of real estate to show off the enormous quartz crystals that Unearthen has set into their wonderfully exaggerated Pyxis Cuff. We’re starting to think that three stores really just means thrice the goodies to combine.

     

  3. Never a bad time for Soulwax or the Stones, so putting them together’s bound to be even better.

     

  4. A few last minute additions to this season’s selection of Ann-Sofie Back have arrived. They won’t be online for a little bit, so if you’re curious (and we know you are), you should stop by the store and check it out in person.

     

  5. On a day with crisp, cool weather like this, all we really feel like doing is lying in bed with a giant mug of tea (maybe a cup of Numi from ACRE/SF) with a nice, relaxing clay mask for some at-home pampering. Here’s Prospector Co.’s recipe, right off their All-Purpose Dirt:

    Mire Mask

    Mix with warm water and blend until paste-like substance is formed. Apply layer to face and neck, avoiding eye area. Let dry for 15-30 minutes until gently washing away clean.

    If that isn’t a formula for successful living, we don’t know what is.

     

  6. Though our own selection of men’s accessories isn’t anything to sneeze at, we have to admit that nothing quite compares to the selection of Vim Beget that is now available at No. 3. And when we saw the incredible coloring on the Merus Graident Bracelet, the first thing that came to mind was the distressed wool that trims the edges of Odyn Vovk’s Limited Edition Gauze Hoodie. With a split right at the wrist, it’s the perfect way to show off a unique piece of men’s jewelry without feeling like you’re showing off.

    Yep. Totally just spotted this koala eating some leaves and wearing the Gabriela Artigas 18k gold shark tooth necklace. He was like, “What, I like to floss gold when I’ve got my fur coat on.”

  9. Ever since we opened our new store, we’ve been incredibly distracted and all we can think about when we see clothes is think about what jewelry we’d wear with it. Exclusive to No. 3, Alynne Lavigne’s pieces take inspiration from industrial hardware and transform them into elegant statements. What better match for her Two-Tone Ball Chain Necklace than this SILENT Dean Motorcycle Dress, which does the same thing for the rough-and-tumble Perfecto, but in a spring-friendly dress? A match made in hardware heaven.

     

  10. We’ve never been able to resist Ikuyo Ejiri’s brightly-colored silicone doodads and now that the family has expanded to include kitties, pandas, and now rabbits there’s nothing stopping us from assembling a menagerie of soft, squishy pouches.

    Available now at Acrimony, ACRE/SF, and online.
