Simply tailored and easy to wear classic workwear, is how Rag & Bone describe their line. The name harks back to the old British tradition of the rag and bone man who walked the back streets in England with his horse and cart in the early - mid 20th century collecting used goods and clothing for recycling, selling and reuse. The sight and sounds of the rag & bone men are long gone (late 70's) but this homage to their legacy lives on. Rag & Bone tailor their clothes using decade old methods of craftsmanship producing outstanding quality.

Cynthia Rowley's designs tumble over the eras as you gaze along the racks. Each piece has an eclectic style but achieves an "a la mode" feel. Equal doses of current and classic give this boutique its edge. If you want an eye catching number, this is where you should head; accessories and all.

Your little pumpkins will love you all the more if you bring them back a gift from this fun and fascinating store. Nice to have nick nacks, fancy frocks, and too cool for school shoes and pants are what is on offer. We recommend the Trumpette baby socks.

Not so long ago before the kids were running riot in Barnes and Noble this is what bookstores were like, or so we like to imagine. Full of books and book readers. No strollers or Starbucks (both of which we do know and love, for the record). We promise you will not come out empty handed, maybe just a little frustrated that there are so many books and such little time to read them.

"Overpriced" some would say but if you want your child's first haircut to be a positive and even enjoyable experience then what could reassure a child more than sitting in a miniature truck or engine while watching their favorite TV program, surrounded by toys? They will hardly notice the nice lady behind them snipping off their golden baby locks.
