We’ve been a little obsessed with the BBC show Skins lately. It is way better then anything we’ve seen on American TV. The styling is brillant, I’ve seen a lot of beautiful items I recognize as UK brands, like shoes from Toast.
Our favorite character is Cassie, shown on the far right in a trompe l’oeil shirt by Top Shop. Which got us thinking about how much we adore trompe l’oeil bow tie shirts, like the one we carry in the shop, by Iefke de Roos (middle picture). Another lovely example is this shirt (first one pictured) by Pretty Raccoon.

Now that the new site is finished I have so many pretty new things to share with you, lets start with the lovely Iefke de Roos. Iefke is a Dutch designer living and working in The Netherlands. This is the first time her collection has made it’s way across the ocean to be sold in the US. All of Iefke’s pieces are one of a kinds, her designs are painstakingly hand printed onto fabrics and then the garments are sewn. Her Rosa dress is a great example, I just love the feather print, on soft light cotton. Iefke wrote me to say that her items look very peaceful over here at MLY, I’ll agree there’s certainly something peaceful about Iefke’s work, a quite beauty.
