If we see one more mediocre floral print on a gorgeous girl this season, we’re going to tear our hair out. Why go for the obvious when Minimarket’s Esk Dress lets you indulge in fantastic printed silk without resorting to boring bloom? And if you must do a floral, then give it a Freudian twist like Stylestalker does with their Rorschach-inspired Parallel Universe Dress in soft poly crepe.

Dressing for spring weddings and remaining true to your style is always a little like threading a needle while riding a motorcycle over the Himalayas blindfolded. We say ditch the prissy dresses and wear a stunning blouse, like Stylestalker’s Galatica Shirt, with your favorite skirt for a standout look that won’t overshadow the bride (unless that’s what you’re after).

Exactly what you need on a Thursday.

Sneaks

I wish I was little bit taller, then I would have bigger feet, and have a slim shot at wearing men’s sneakers. If I could have my wish, my 5 favorite sneakers for the summer right now:

Nike Solarsoft Moc in bright blue/green

New Balance x Invincible 1400 Brogues

Vans Vault OG Skate Hi LX - Palm Tree Collection

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Digital Floral

New Balance 574 Camo Print

Lucid Dreams

Sometimes less is more, and in the case of designer Ann-Sofie Back’s imaginative translucent details, the statement rings true: One adds a complex outer layer with very little. Behold the pellucid element, a throwback to the days of jellies and hot pink see through plastic backpacks (thanks, Clueless), lucite baubles and that undiscerning 90’s take on Cinderella shoes (thee it-heel if there ever were one for 18-year-old style mavens of the decade). The transparant trend has evolved from Showgirls though, and what remains is at once minimal and elegant.

Back uses plastic links in a collection of jewelry that translates simplicity in a practical, functional form. Her penchant for the avant-garde is demonstrated on her every day ready-to-wear pieces, both the classic blouse and t-shirt, with the addition of a clear back strap that hangs loosely like the same organic curve of the spine. The pink sandals she designed for Cheap Monday possess a small dose of the unexpected too, combining metallic material with a lucid strap covering the top of the foot. How do you wear what’s next to nothing?

Susie Bubble always has the right idea when it comes to wearing the “wrong” thing in the “right” way. Who else would pair the adorable Karen Walker Orbit sunglasses with a Dior top?

Throwback to the afternoon this adorable Swedish couple visited the shop and I obsessed over their style as I began taking photos. Forgive me, guys. #customerappreciation

Texture is the name of the game if you favor simplicity when dressing, which is what our men’s selection at No. 3 has in spades. Nikolai Rose has you covered with the blacked ridges on their Deco Ring which echoes the zig-zag knit of Lifetime Collective’s Pressure S/S Knit Tee. It’s one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it combinations turn subtlety into an art.

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.

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.

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.

Fri, 10 May 2013 14:00:22 -0700

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.

Fri, 10 May 2013 11:00:12 -0700

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.
