MFA Shop –
Akari Light Sculptures by Isamu Noguchi have
landed at the MFA Shop! These iconic lamps stem
from the 1950s and are a classic in the modern
design world. They are made from handmade
washi paper, bamboo ribbing – extremely delicate
in nature and range from a multitude of shapes
and sizes. These gems are definitely worth seeking
out as they are incredibly bold and beautiful. They
tend to sell quickly, so check with the MFA Shop
for stock availability. www.mfah.org/mfashop

Tootsies –
I was recently introduced to cinq à sept by Leah Little
Hale, the contemporary buyer from Tootsies. She hits it
on the nail – every season. I was pleasantly surprised
by this advanced contemporary collection as it boasts
designs that are feminine, alluring and evoke a sense of
confidence. The collection ranges from separates to
dresses – which are absolutely perfect for the modern
day woman. Get it while you can! www.tootsies.com

St. Cloud –
If you need a standout bag for the fall “season,” look no further. This bag is the
quintessential embodiment of cool. We all know, if you want to invest in a bag,
it needs to be versatile, and black can be paired with just about anything! It has
the perfect balance of sophistication, edge and it holds everything – well, almost
everything. For those who love all the bells and whistles, – it has a removable
leather strap, inside zipper and a flashlight to find all those lost unmentionables.
It’s totally an investment piece, but it’s beyond chic! www.shopsaintcloud.com
