Book Club: The Flame Throwers


Want something that causes you to yearn for hair wildly whipping in the wind on a motorcycle and a distinct slight disgust for men? We found it for you.

The Baubler


#tbt to two weeks ago, when chief #catbirdette Rony made an appearance on New York Observer's Brooklyn Influentials list. Excitement over the article coining her "The Baubler" was topped only by the company. Athena Calderone and Kate Young? YES! Molly Guy, Alexa Chung, and Chloë Sevigny? Cool, cool. 

It was a girl crush dream of sorts. The end!

What We're Listening To: Courtney Barnett


I can't take credit for discovering this Aussie babe. I overheard our very own lunch lady, Ash, playing Courtney Barnett in the shop and I swooped in demanding (politely of course) to know who it was. Her playful lyrics and chill vibes make me feel like I should be drinking beers in the sunshine with friends while laying in a hammock. Very specific, I know. But take a listen, you'll have visions of sunny buzzy days in no time.

Here's a video for my favorite track, Avant Gardener, where she talks about gardening, asthma attacks, and smoking bongs:

How Do You Dew?



I was once told that given 5 minutes flat to run out the door, a girl should reach for blush above all else. Why? Because a flush of color = instant pretty. Taking said beauty mantra to heart, Olio E Sasso #2 Melon will definitely turn me into a dewy sun-kissed goddess not unlike this runway beauty. 

Okay, wishful thinking. But a moisturizing balm with ingredients I've actually heard of? #yesplease 

Apply with clean fingertips to lip and cheek, layering to intensify color.

Garance Doré has the most lovely article on her blog this week. I highly recommend it. Have a look:
... it’s also very cool to just love your job as it is, to love the place where you live, and the world you’ve created for yourself, whatever that may be. 
It’s cool to just have an awesome shop without having to turn it into a worldwide chain – Colette is a great example of that, by the way. It’s cool to just be the best neighborhood baker, without necessarily wanting to write thirty cookbooks about it. It’s even cool to not work at all. Come on, what? If you have enough money and you’re happy, why not?

What We're Listening To: Beck


Spring has finally sprung. Buds are blooming, layers are being shed, and it feels like we're all slowly waking up from that nightmare of a winter. Beck's new album Morning Phase seems to mirror that transition: dreamy, a bit somber (ugh, all that residual winter angst!), but sweetened with hopeful melodies. We're digging it. You might, too. Listen along below.

On the Block



Our friends at Otte have quite literally popped into the neighborhood for a summer stay. Meaning you can shop Otte's Brooklyn edits through August at their Bedford Avenue pop-up. 

We personally have our eye on this day-to-night number by Opening Ceremony. Picturing it with a rose gold stack and perhaps a Ballerina Bracelet or two. Classic never looked so good. 

#ottepop is at 193 Bedford Avenue

And she was, quite literally, starry-eyed.


Solving all your beauty dilemmas. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

Met Ball (not Meatball)


Despite the fact that none of us (what!!?) were at the Met Gala last night, we feel pretty connected to it since lavender-haired Nicole Richie was wearing Catbird there. Plus some serious side boob.
