AO HAPPENINGS
Our very own Mallane Stanbury, talented artist and executive assistant to Stacey, has her incredible work on display at our SoHo store for the next two weeks.
Mallane’s exhibit, “A Dose of Mallane”, combines photography and art installation, and is nothing short of mind-blowing. Stop by 72 Greene Street and see for yourself!
STATE OF STACEY
Stacey all dolled up in a ruffled gown headed out for a night on the the town! There’s no such thing as being too dressed up in our book. Gotta love this Aurora dress!

OK, hold the phone…how amazing is this inflated/deflated project by Chicago-based creatives Jillian, Lauren and Kady?!
The girls take humorous quotes and heartfelt feelings, write them on the surface of inflated balloons, then let the air out — leaving what you see here. We love it!
This is Hannah Hart. Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of her YouTube show, My Drunk Kitchen. My Drunk Kitchen is exactly what it sounds like. Hannah cooks while drinking and obviously, hilarity ensues. It lives on her channel. Not only does she drink and cook (poorly, honestly guys, she doesn’t give helpful kitchen hints) but she also fills the channel with advices pun fun and music videos. Since the birth of the “drunk” show her channel has evolved really nicely into pure comedy youtube masterpiece theater. Side note: she makes for a gosh golly darn cute carrot who gives silly yet really helpful advice. There is a bunch of stuff that will make you laugh and maybe cry as Hannah is true to her last name dropping sensitive and thoughtful insight whenever she can.
Ms. Hart is a new kind of comedian. She creates controls and distributes her content twice a week. Her latest venture, the Hello Harto Tour is quite the oddity for the youtube world. She’s leaving the digital realm and stepping into reality by reaching out to her subscribers(over 500,000) to join her as she travels across the United States, connecting and giving back to the digital community. But Molly, how is she giving back? Glad you asked. At each shop she is volunteering at a local charity and meeting her fans by asking them to chip in with her. HENCE, making the world a better place. So check her out online or do something good with your life and meet up with her and pitch in.
P.S.- I want to apologize for using the phrase “unless you have been living under a rock”, I can’t stand people who say that, they’re always such jerks. It’s just that sometimes, I don’t know what to say or where to put my hands.

Mother’s Day is just a hop skip and a jump away, girls! Buy her something she’ll love (that you can then borrow). Shoes and bags are the way to go!
FANCY LITTLE PHRASES
Such sweet words of wisdom from Maya Angelou. Here is to a bright and colorful week!

Happy happy birthday to one of our favorite photographers, Tyler Shields! How appropriate is that beautiful bottom image with the balloon?! So inspired by this LA based artist, you must check out more of his work here. xo
A + O GIRLS
Yellow doesn’t have to be mellow! The oh so glamorous Chelsea Kane stood out in the crowd at the “Iron Man 3” premier wearing our Taryn beaded dress. Stunner!
STACEY SAYS
Let love and kindness be your favorite colors! xoxo
This is Marina Franklin. She is a very talented NYC stand up comedian and just about one of the nicest humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I mean it, imagine the most lovely person you know and Marina is still better company. Sincere, lovable and most importantly(for being a comedian), funny. The second she begins to speak you’ll find yourself smiling and before you know it, laughing from your belly. Side note: laughing from your belly is not the sexiest thing to do in front of someone you are trying to bed, as in some cases, snorting may occur.
You don’t have to take my word for it. Marina has been accredited by the likes of Craig Fergusen and Jay Leno. She’s the real deal guys.
Marina hosts a show every Thursday night(tonight) at MIST in Harlem.
So honey, get on that six train and ride that pony to 116th street and get ready for shimmies and shakes in your laugh places. The venue is gorgeous. There are snacks or a restuarant if you wanna have a nibble afterwards and you will leave ready for the weekend as Friday doesn’t even really count as a work day, if we’re honest with ourselves.
Surprise guests such as Colin Quinn, Tom Pappa, Amy Schumer and Jay Pharoh have graced the stage as well as countless other talented comedians. I mean it, whatever you have planned for tonight, cancel it and head up to MIST in Harlem and tell your cousins. Cousins love stuff like comedy. Also, buy your tickets in advance. This show is hot-to-trot and cousins hate being turned away at the door. xoxo
