Mimi does Mojitos…

May 7th, 2012

The Mimi Holliday Spring collection is comprised of pieces inspired by some of our favorite cocktails…

We’ve seen the Daquiri, the Bellini, the Whiskey Sour, and the latest thirst quenching addition, the Mojito.  This lime green pop-o-color features accents of strawberry colored ribbon and blush pink lace.   A truly perfect addition to our summertime lingerie wardrobes.

Our week in pictures

April 25th, 2012

We’ve been busy both at work and at play this past week.  Here are some of the highlights…

 

Mer took the plunge and chopped her hair off.

Love, love, love.

Well done Pini Swissa Salon and Co, our fine haired blondie looks lovely!

I turned 30.  It happened.

Here I am at the Bristol Lounge, barely able to conjure up enough breath to blow out my candles.

hehe

My nephew Charley continues to get cuter and cuter.

Good thing Curious George has reopened in Harvard Square!

Someone’s getting spoiled.

We decorated our windows for SPRING!

Martha taught us.

Kromaqee Pop Up Shop…and a glimpse into the backroom at Forty Winks.

April 17th, 2012

Meredith’s boyfriend, Choya, has been designing clothing and hats since 2010. His brand KrōmӘQee, is Boston-based and born of an interest in film and street art. The word KrōmӘQee is a warped spelling of chroma key: the technique of using a color as a key that allows one image to be superimposed upon another. Find out more about KrōmӘQee on his website.

We’ll be hosting a pop-shop featuring Kromaqee in our back space this Thursday from 7pm-10pm.

We hope to see you there.

Free beer.

We both wear the line…here are some of our favorites:
