Happy February, and Happy Sunday. 

Here are the things we are thinking about for the month ahead...

1. Quote of the month: "How wild it was, to let it be." --Cheryl Strayed.  If you haven't seen WILD yet, we recommend it.  

2. BRAND NEW ASC SAMPLES!!  So excited to work with some new products, including a clutch, over the shoulder bag, and wallet.  We are continually working with our partners in Morocco to produce beautiful, unique, and quality pieces for the modern woman.  Some previews:

3. The incredible craftsmanship of Dior.  Watch the 200-hour journey of the Dior Couture dress here.

4. Glam hair accessories, like this bobby pin, and this bumble bee clip.  Subtle and cute.

5. Spring colors <3 as seen in this Chanel.

6. Innovative lunch ideas!  The "Travelling Noodles" recipe is one of my favorite healthy recipes, and I can't wait to take it to work this week!

7. Diana Vreeland.  Just watched Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel documentary (available for streaming on Netflix), and she is making us think about fashion, art, design, and brand: "don't tell boring stories."

8. Walks in the South End and beyond.

9. Upcoming trips.  NYC in the near future.  Any recommendations?!  Will have to bring my Sac GH Large Kilim bag along for the ride.

10. Finally, the flat white!  A flat white is of Australian/New Zealand origin, about the size of a cortado, and has velvety milk on top ("microfoam"--an extremely difficult feat to accomplish!)  Sampled one at a coffeeshop in San Francisco (Sightglass Coffee), and it very much lived up to the hype.

Much love, the ASC team < 3
