Happy Fourth of July!

Here’s a couple shots of our Americana-inspired window at Heir/Calico in Providence!

We’re celebrating the holiday weekend with 40% off at our webshop! Spend at least $40 and enter coupon code FOURTH at check-out! But hurry! The sale is only on until Sunday!

Check out these adorable summery pieces from please+thankyou! Our resident accessories diva, Miss Cody Nowell, has outdone herself with these new pieces–I am coveting each and every one!

Hit up our NB and PVD locations, because these babies are selling FAST–and may not make it to the webshop!

Loving our newest arrivals from Every Little Counts!

These easy-to-wear graphic tanks are inspired by the classic film Doctor Zhivago and are available in either orchid and a vintage-y gray. And at a wallet-friendly 26 bucks? This super-cute staple will barely dent your summer budget!

It’s prom-time! We love the way our intern, Miki, styled her prom look!

Miki wears a vintage strapless silk party dress from Calico, Vivienne Westwood + Lady Dragon Heart II shoes, with F21 headband and accessories.

And extra big ups to Mik for scoring the perfect coordinating nail color at Hot Topic!

Re-vamping our store lay-out here at Calico headquarters…

Thought I’d share some recent inspiration we found on the www:

I absolutely LOVE the clean, modern design of Moschino in Chelsea! I am totally obsessed with the white industrial space, sleek silver metal fixtures, and minimal merchandising!

I also love these shots of Anthropologie, London! Especially the design featuring the faded Union Jack’s and face-outs of red, white, and blue garments! Red, white, and navy is probably my all-time favorite color combo! Timeless and modern at once, it evokes New England summers, sailboats, the 60’s British Invasion, the American Revolution!

Stay tuned for pics of our revamped NB storefront, coming soon! And be sure to follow us on Twitter @shopcalico, where we’re doing a little giftcard giveaway as we speak!
