The clothing is simple, stylish, and timeless. Not a "fashion-forward" store, but this is a store to pick up a sweater you'll have for the next 10 years. The collections include playful cardigans (think pastel Picasso on a cardigan). The best part about the store is the low, low prices. (sweaters can run as low as $22 full retail- $15 sale). This is your mother's version of an upscale H&M.
