I brought this tank home today, its a Robert Geller Tencal/Cashmere blend so it is beyond soft and it is approx. a mile long. I am stocking up on long light weight ultra soft tanks for summer and this one by Robbie was necessary.
I made some purchases recently, I'm very happy with them both.
The first is a pair of semi gloss off white Comme Des Garcons Shirt rubber soled oxfords. I love these shoes, they are comfortable, eye catching, and surprisingly versatile. I believe they were from last fall's collection but I'm likely to be wrong.
The second purchase is a beautiful Number (N)ine cotton cashmere tank top in charcoal. I suspect I will get too much wear out of it this summer. This tank is perfect to be worn as a layering piece and I must say alone as well which was a pleasant surprise. I love the weight and cut of this piece and am contemplating purchasing another.
I still need to have my computer repaired though.
John Varvatos opened up his concept shop this week in CBGBs legendary home where some the venue's skeleton is still visible in several places . The Varvatos team did a very good job with the construction and restoration. It was a pretty impressive job they did and stocked their racks with the signature clothing and terrific footwear. There is also a nice stock of the collaboration effort of Varvatos and Converse peppered in on the racks. The staff in the boutique is great an attentive and informed me the Varvatos plans on hosted live acts in store on their expandable stage. Oh don't forget some of the vintage vinyls available in up front in the shop, definitely a new place to go through and check out. Forgot to mention, if you love Chucks better get down to Varvatos ASAP there is a series of 6 designs (could be 5 cant recall) that are limited to only 18 pieces each, they were all fantastic takes on the original.
