In Tune: Atelier Delphine
In honor of fashion week and all the new-collections brouhaha, we’ve asked Of a Kind designers to share the songs that found their way into their spring 2013 designs. Oh, and: These music picks come with sneak peeks of said collections. Keep up with “In Tune” posts here.
“Jane Birkin’s ‘Help Camionneur’ always makes me neutral mentally. From emotional, from hyper—it always calms me down.” —yuka izutsu of atelier delphine

To Recap: Our 5 Favorite Home Tours (and How to Put Them to Use)
We’re taking the week off from new releases to say “HAPPY BIRFDAY, AMERICA!”—and give you 25% off until 11:59p on 7/8 with the code JULY4THEWIN. We also figured this was a great opportunity to round up some of our favorites stories that you may have missed—you’re busy! We know! Today, five house/apt. tours (that happen to be loaded with home improvement ideas should you be hangin’ around for the holiday). —erica
1) Collina Strada’s Williamsburg Apt.
Tip: Those vintage crates make for some killer shelving. Wine ones are a great size—dig them up on eBay or Etsy or score them in bulk here.
2) Kathryn Bentley’s Craftman-Style Apt. in Silverlake
Tip: Stools at nightstands? Love. Ing. It. These barnwood ones nail the vibe.
3) Fay Andrada’s Brooklyn Undertaking
Tip: That grid on the wall? Old-school Architectural Forum covers hung to pack a punch. As a frame alternative, use clipboards like this—that way you can also switch out the art on the reg.
Tip: Annie is very (very!) serious about her hangers. Word is that the Container Store stocks the sorts of crazy hues that she loves.
5) Yuka Izutsu’s So Sunny Pasadena Casa
Tip: Embrace air plants. If you wanna go all crazy with ‘em, pick up a few Mudpuppy hanging planters, that display them *upside-down*.
Don’t forget to take advantage of our week-long, 25%-off special! The code: JULY4THEWIN

Weather Vain: Fire Island, New York - 73 With a Chance of Thunderstorms
Ok. You guys. SUUUUMMMMMMMER IS HEEEEERE! And that means beachy weekends and fireflies and toasted marshmallows. If you’re heading to Fire Island to celebrate the occasion (like the designer behind Dusen Dusen is—hi, Ellen!), here’s what you should pack to take down any T-storms. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A Dusen Dusen tote (duh!) in a very washable denim in case you have any sunscreen incidents.
+ The sort of Lizzie Fortunato cuff that will make you feel like you got dressed up for sunset dinner at Maguire’s.
+ A lightweight Ace & Jig poncho that has a certain Wet Hot American Summer vibe.
+ A no-nonsense (but cool-as-all-hell) Dsptch camera strap that matches the sand.
+ Summer rain shoes! Brought to you by F-Troupe.
+ The easiest little chambray shorts in the whole wide world—ideal for rosé sipping—that Atelier Delphine made just for Of a Kind.

Of a Kind
We’d be willing to wager an icy-cold Arnold Palmer that, should you own these crazy-adorable, made-in-CA Atelier Delphine chambray shorts, you’d wear them for the majority of your upcoming long weekend. They go so damn well with bikini bottoms, fish tacos, and SPF 30 that you’d really have no excuse to take them off. —erica
