This little shop on Broadway feels so out of place in New Haven...a collection of chic, color-sorted jewelry that is oh so trendy, with scarves and purses to match. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun, and though some of the designs rival the cheap teen stores in the malls (like Claire's), there are great pieces to be found to liven up any woman's wardrobe. Mixed in with the feathers and painted tin are potato pearls set in silver with citrine and beautifully embroidered silk scarves, and a host of "in between" items that could either be worn out on the town or spark just the tiniest bit of controversy if worn to the office. It makes me smile to go in, even if I don't find anything worthwhile - sort of like Sephora stores, it's nice to look at pretty things in a pretty setting.
