Oh, to be clean and clever, it's a true gift! Speaking of gifts, pile up a couple of bars, tie with a big fat bow, et FIN. We make it easy.

What We Love Today: Lapin Bunny Bag.

Hello, my little love! I waited for you, and waited for you, and now you are here, and every time I see you, I smile. I hope to sling you around a Claire Vivier duffle bag real soon. Or maybe a Mayle leopard bag! It's 5:07 pm - no more decisions today.

Sleeping Beauty, I love you.

Confession: I loved her before I met her. Sleeping Beauty was just a bit of fairy dust in our mind's eye, but I knew it: she was the one. And now she's here, and so pleased to meet you all.

What We Love Today: Rosewater Cleansing Gel

Days are longer, dusks are pinker, and I am slowly parting ways with my beloved winter. There are lilacs drooping from a vase on my bedside table towards my pillow, and as it goes for me, this time every year, I'd like the world to smell like roses. And so, I'm cleansing (face and body) with our new arrival, Roberts Florentine Rosewater Cleansing Gel. It's light, mild, and redolent of rose, and the arrival of springtime.

What We Love Today: Opal Teardrops

Our brand new Opal Teardrop Necklace makes me just a little sad that I only have one neck. (Thank goodness for ten fingers and two wrists!)

Moon Child

We're just about to release something we've been working on for eons. We've sat, and we've thought, and we've thought some more, and I think the years of waiting have been worth it. We're so excited with the finished product. I hope you'll love these new pieces as much as we do.

Famous Lovers; Velvet Brown and The Pie.

This gold and diamond horseshoe ring would have been perfect for baby Dame Elizabeth circa National Velvet, before her tastes got rather, well, grander.

What we Love Today: Fieldguided Dreamcats Calendar.

Famous Lovers: Antony and Cleopatra.

She may arrive in Rome, unfurled from a priceless rug, landing in a beautiful tangle at your feet. She may die with an asp clutched to her breast, after you took your own life. But, dear Antony, it was so sweet, and such a delicious mess, those years with Isis-incarnate. A diamond pyramid ring befits your Cleopatra, the one and only last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt.

What We Love Today: Rodin Olio Lusso Perfume.

Rodin's new perfume is a warm, floral, earthy mix, made just for the kind of city Cleopatra who steals her boyfriend's sweaters and really, really loves Pink Floyd. In other words...us.

New York, New York.

Mr. Boddington is one of our absolute favorite stationers, and their Mr. Boddington NYC Loves ABC print is our new unofficial official baby gift. Rony was at a baby shower and the mom to be was gifted one of these prints, and the guests all squealed, and when we unpacked them in the store the Catbirds all squealed, so I'd say it's unofficially official indeed.

Anciennes, x 3

Just look at the two breathtaking new rings Elisa Solomon has added to her Ancienne Collection. Gasp. Exclusive to Catbird!

3 points.

1. The Klaia triangle ring by Odette works perfectly to spearhead the top of a stack, or on it's own.
2. Beach House, a favorite amongst us birds, has a new record coming out May 15. Listen here.
3. We ordered some triangulation wonderfulness. Will be revealed shortly.

Klaia ring, $110 in store and online

Additional appendage adornment.

We've got an upper arm bracelet on its way that is going to knock your socks, and maybe your pants, off.

Early signs of the season.

We've been craving anklets for a while now, and we finally cooked some up. We Catbirds think they're very laid back and sexy, and really, ewww, why isn't there a better word than sexy to express sexy. Added bonus: anklets are Garance Doré appproved.
