This week we loved colorful, well-tailored pieces paired with vibrant accessories. Purple twill skinny jeans by J Brand!? Flattering, cute and shockingly easy to pull off. A denim dress with nipped in waist by Isabel Marant will be forever chic and smoky leather twin pack bag by Jas M.B. is a classic, seasonless piece.
Our Bi-Annual BIG Sale started this past weekend, and this season's offerings are just. so. great. Spring styles from all of our contemporary designers are marked down, as well as denim, bags & shoes. See you soon!!
How to dress for everyday & holiday, all at the same time? Layered basics, cozy cashmere, grommeted bags & boots, and over the top jewelry.
Studded canvas bag by Leigh & Luca, paired with a Splendid henley and sateen cargos by J Brand.
Cashmere scarves by Me & Kashmiere, (fantasticly over-the-top) rings by LowLuv, knitwear by Line & printed camisole by Patterson Kincaid. Long, sinewy skirt by Maggie Ward, and suede cuff lifted from Antik Batik booties.
Featured Above: Necklaces & wraps by Chan Luu, knitwear by Line, trapper hat by FreePeople. Denim by Genetic, Boots by Antik Batik.
All styles, in house now.
Finally ... the 1st day of Fall!
So many great shipments arrived this week, including new styles from Isabel Marant's Etoile line, and our British love, Jas M.B. The crackled leather messenger that he sent across the pond is such a great size - not too big or small, super light-weight, and the texture is great for any outfit. New Etoile pieces include the gorgeous printed dress and this soft denim jumper - which happens to be quite sexy in a utilitarian sort of way. It's easy to wear, flattering and quite versatile.
In a desperate attempt to ignore the 97 degree heat today, we cobbled together our September mood board. Two strong statements emerged - one depicting a colorful, textured bohémienne, the other a bit of a rocker, all tousled hair and nostalgia. We love both looks and the mood board has us swooning over the current Habit inventory all over again. Mood board and a few current rails of styles shown above and below.
Of course, this season, both of these ladies rock the military trend!
That's right, we're having a party! Buttercream will be parked at our doorstep, we have awesome goodie bags courtesy of AG Denim, and there will be great deals on *Sale* merchandise. See you Friday!!!

Many thanks to the stylish ladies who braved heat, humidity and monsoons to attend Cocktails & Cutoffs. A great time was had and some killer denim flew out the doors.
THIS evening, Genetic Denim & The Philadelphia Junior League are hosting Cocktails & Cutoffs - a summertime trunkshow featuring great deals and great cocktails for a great cause. Stop by for breezy summer denim and cool off with TyKu's specialty summer cocktail, lemonade & citrus liquor.
Need to make room for those sweet new skinnies? Third Street Habit is collecting your 'old blues' for the Philadelphia Junior League Thrift Shop.
Join us this Saturday as we kick off the summer with a Chan Luu Trunkshow! Sort through an extensive collection of necklaces, earrings, wrap bracelets, viscose and cashmere scarves; all pieces selected with the summer season in mind. Enjoy one day only discounts all accessories (from all designers!) while sipping on mimosas and indulging in cupcakes from Buttercream Cupcake Truck!
If you've happened upon (or staked out) the Buttercream Cupcake Truck, then you know what it's like to taste a little midday scoop of heaven. What does heaven taste like? How about banana cake with nutella buttercream, chocolate cake with Ghiradelli chocolate ganache, and red velvet cake with chocolate peanutbutter icing, for starters.
Kate, aka the Cupcake Lady, parks Buttercream Cupcake truck at various locations in center city, and this Saturday, she will be parked right on our doorstep!! Buttercream Cupcake Truck will be open to the public, but any purchase in Third Street Habit that day will give you a cupcake voucher good for two of her delicious cupcakes!
A sneak peak at exclusive Chan Luu trunkshow styles, to follow ...
Old City, Philadelphia is chock full of history & innovation, art & commerce, grit & charm. Best of all, it's a great district to shop - especially this time of year.

There will be live music all weekend, and you'll find a coffee shop on every block.

It's been snowing in Philadelphia for a week. Still, there's inspiration to be found at every turn. I walked by these two lovelies in Rittenhouse Square earlier this evening ...
