i decided to take advantage of the foot traffic at this weekend’s events to launch a new sweater raffle to support our friends @rymlrs and @husein_alzaq2 !
for each $20 donation, you’ll receive one entry to win a sweater of your choice. your sweater can either be picked up in the store or shipped anywhere within the us (if you live outside of the us, you can still enter and either have it shipped somewhere here or we can figure out shipping!). my venmo is in the linktree in my bio. please include your email address in the note with your donation. donations will be accepted through may 31! cash donations can be made in the store.
if you’d rather have another garment instead of a sweater, that’s doable as well!!
jimmy is less than 5 apples tall (shoutout to my fellow hello kitty fans who get this reference!). he wanted to remind everyone that our pop up photoshoot with @delistudios is happening tomorrow from 12-5! and if you feel awkward about posing (like jimmy) we’ll have plenty of props from @studio.arby to choose from!
the may newsletter is up online and available in the store! it includes a very long essay this month with some preaching about my love of shorts + sweaters, the constant inspiration i derive from nina leen’s circus photos and the 1965 and 1967 photos from the nasa field trips to iceland, and my usual comments on synthetics and the environment.
did i waste a polaroid and a flash cube on this pic to let you know that we have just a few dog patch shorts in this vintage chambray? and now with a red dog patch? i sure did!
i’ve also restocked the jumbo book pocket bucket bags and these will prob be the last ones i make for a while because i’m out of snaps!
join us on saturday, may 16 from 12:00-5:00 for a pop up photoshoot here in the store as part of the pike/pine spring fashion walk and social! 📸
i’ve painted a backdrop, @studio.arby has made some large scale props, and @delistudios will be taking your pics! for $20, you’ll get 3 edited photos emailed to you after the day of the shoot. choose which props you want to pose with and pose solo or with friends. each session will be approximately 5-10 minutes. you can also sign up for more than one session if you want more photos!
there will be events happening throughout the alley and the neighborhood all day, including a runway show at 3 pm, so be sure to stop on by!
graphic design is my passion ✨
anyways here are some jimmy pics to let you know that we have some dog patch shorts in stock and will be stocking more sizes soon!! i’m always excited for shorts + sweater weather aka my favorite combo!
you’ve asked and i’ve delivered! i introducing a new jumbo bucket bag! it has the front pockets of our book pocket tote and the structure of the jimmy bucket bags! it’s also lined in a bright yellow so the inside isn’t just a massive abyss. it’s heavyweight enough to stand up on its own, which is always a plus if you lug around as much as i do. it’s also handy if you’re constantly wrangling a wild little dog and need to put your stuff down without everything spilling all over the ground. i’m assuming this is a universal problem.
cat tees have been restocked! (ft jimmy and saddle shoe cameos)
actually all tees (jimmy and horse ones, too) have been restocked in most of the cropped sizes except i confused myself so it’s not all sizes in all graphics. sorry! if you keep missing your size (or want a non-cropped one), let me know and i can add it to the next batch.
have a happy friday! to everyone except people who ride those lime bikes or scooters on the sidewalk. people here need to go to bike school like i was forced to do as a kid. i bet they never even learned what to do when you’re stick behind a tractor on a small road!
