On a mild, cloudy Saturday morning, we gathered (with a large container of coffee and countless boxes of instant film ) to put together Treasury’s Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook. We couldn’t be happier with the results; models Shirley, Kate and Devin did an awesome job interpreting the looks. Here are a couple extras, photographed in front of Black Cat. 
We now carry Wilder Quarterly magazine, a publication focusing on gardening and food. The photographs range from outdoor landscapes to urban gardens and dinner party dishes, while the articles teach you how to make your own hops or a string bonsai garden. It’s a good guide for those aspiring to green thumb status, and works just as well as coffee table literature. Come get your copy!

From the D&Q crew:
D&Q is teaming with select retailers and Marvin Bistro & Bar for an evening of Mid-City vintage and pop-up shopping for the Seersucker Social. Featured vintage clothing retailers include Junction, Ginger Root Design, Dr. K Vintage, Rock it Again, Goodwood and Treasury. Shops will be open until 9:30 Wednesday May 25 and feature discounts up to 20% off on select items for shoppers who mention the Seersucker Social. A pop-up shopping experience upstairs at Marvin Bistro & Bar begins at 7:30 featuring Hugh & Crye, High Cotton Ties and Proper Topper. If you are searching for a great fitting shirt, the sartorial pop of a cotton bow tie or a fascinator fit for a royal occasion make Marvin your final mid-city destination after perusing the vintage shops.
We are so thrilled to offer MCMC fragrance, a small batch perfumery based in nyc and made lovingly by one woman, Anne McClain. We knew it was meant to be at first sniff- Dude No. 1 (men’s cologne made to rub on beard, face, pulse points, made of jojoba and hemp), Hunter (woodsy, unisex), Maui (summer, with anise), Maine (the sea, just like the name says), all made of natural oils and evoking memories. It’s so easy to roll on and carry in your bag for dreamy moments. We adore!
And our love affair with Erin Considine continues. We started with Erin when we opened a year and a half ago and we feel like we have grown in tandem. EC is carried by the best shops all across this great land…
Stay tuned for more treasured finds from Trez this Spring/Summer!
