Something You'll Love


Madison natives, Saskia Taylor and Sam Lundsten, have collaborated to create one off journals intended to inspire creativity. Between the vintage album covers, each journal is filled with different types of paper for writing, sketching and even music composing. The reason you'll love them is that Taylor and Lundsten have randomly inserted unexpected inspiration pages from Bette Crocker recipes to partially completed Spanish homework to old burlesque photos. The journals are available exclusively at Atticus in store only and quantities are limited.

Vintage Album Cover Journals $35

Your Favorites: Summer 2009






Why don't you?




















Inspired by the always fashionable Diana Vreeland, who consistently challenged and redefined fashion as we know it by asking, "Why don't you?" Her always extravagant suggestions, which began appearing in Harper's Bazaar in 1936, are just as relevant and outrageous today.

About Us

We know a little about you, our beloved readers and shoppers, or at least about what you like, so we thought it was only fair to share a little about ourselves.

pants, indecisiveness and people who don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'

The Justification: This One's for the Boys



My pick for the taken guy

Justification #1: Comes in four colors...you're guaranteed to look good in at least one.

Plus, your girlfriend will love you even more when she's the one wearing it!











#2: Or, for the price of one meal together, you can buy her one of her own.

I'm completely serious about this Thermal post...this is my not so subtle hint that I would like one of my own.








My pick for the single guy

Standard button down with a modern twist. Plus, it's on sale!

















Justification #1: Serious epaulettes to impress the new girl's parents















Justification #2: Fun epaulettes that show your impeccable style to another new girl when the parents don't approve.

Atticus Journal 8.18.09, Vol. 107

The Justification: Charlotte Ronson Ruffle Tank

Day to night
Work to play
Conference room to cocktail hour
BLAH BLAH BLAH

Who actually wants to carry around clutches and heels in their bag all day? And who actually talks like that? I must have picked it up from the land of butterflies and pink.




Justification #1: The solution.

Paired with a bandeau, all you have to do to go from sophisticated to sexy is unzip.
