New spring items!



Its here, finally. Sun seems to be drenching the Nolita streets and everywhere you see cherry blossoms bursting from the trees that line Washington Square Park. The fun patterns of spring also seem to transcend into the great new things we have here at Use Your Head! New to our store: Emilio Pucci, we just got in: a signature Pucci classic tote bag.


To keep the tote company we also have a pair of Pucci slip on shoes! We also go in a fabulous array of scarves. Pictured below is a new fuchsia and blue neck scarf with some of our signature jewelry pieces. Check out our thick gold chain choker necklace or the long gold and teal Kenneth Lane long chain. As always all of the proceeds go to helping the homeless.

Fashion Week



New York seems a bit quieter. Yes it has been a few weeks since rolling racks were seen being frantically pushed around midtown, and there seems to be less 6 inch stilettos teetering in the garment district. But while fashion week ( month?) has ended, we still have the amazing images of the runway creations to excite ourselves for next season. Among the stand outs?

Marc Jacobs signature collection showed a vision of his classic and earlier styles. Phoebe Philo proved herself once again as creative director for Celine. It's only her second season with the brand and already she has reinvigorated the idea of stylish refinement. As always Nicholas Ghessquire, the idealist behind Balenciaga's innovative silhouettes, delivered an on point collection featuring extensively tailored jackets that we think would have made Cristobel proud.

Sadly the fashion world has lost a great visionary with the death of Alexander McQueen. We cannot begin to sum up the scope of this designer's contributions to the fashion world. He will be remembered for his daring accomplishments in the world of fashion.

That loosley sums it up. We here at Use Your Head look forward to another hectic season. who knows, there might even be some fun samples in the store.
