FEBRUARY'S FIVE EASY PIECES
At THE FAMILY GROOVE, we say: "Think Global, GET IT Local." It's our mission to deliver the
groove right to your doorstep—or computer screen, as it were. In TFG's global village, local
stores share the stage with national and international ones. Each month TFG will introduce
you to regional retailers who have got it going on.
1. The Bracelet
Kinga Zielinska of the cutting-edge luxe jewelry store Bead & Pearl in
Newton Center, MA, loves this versatile and elegant piece of jewelry.
“The most sought-after item of the season at Bead & Pearl is this 18-kt brushed gold plated bracelet made of linked squares that are gentle yet contemporary. This piece is designed by Marcia, one of the hottest designers in Los Angeles, and is made for fashionable women who enjoy extraordinary pieces, want to look fabulous and dress spectacularly, yet simply.”

2. The Bra
Ellen Shing of the elegant and sexy petite lingerie store Lula Lu in San Mateo, CA, loves this pretty and great-fitting bra.
“Just because you're smaller-busted doesn't mean you can't wear a sheer, lacy number and look great. Timpa's Duet Lace Demi Bra is great for AA cups and above and is a customer favorite.”
$38, Timpa Duet Lace Demi Underwire Bra, Lula Lu, 212 E. 3rd Avenue, San Mateo, CA

3. The Tunic
Becca Taylor of the gorgeous, upscale maternity boutique Expected in Salt Lake City, UT, loves this hot, in-style tunic.
“This kimono tunic by designer JKU is one of our absolute favorites because not only is it totally fashionable, but it’s also very versatile. It looks great whether you’re short or tall and works well with your growing body. If you’re short, wear it as a dress and pair it with leggings or tights. If you’ve got some height to work with, wear it as a tunic with a great pair of jeans (as pictured here with our maternity designer denim by Citizens of Humanity). Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel as fabulous as you are!”

4. The Jumper
Neely Shearer of the cutting edge, everyone's-flipping-out-over-their-clothes boutique Xin in Los Angeles, CA, loves this high fashion yet easy-to-wear one-piece.
“Clothes that have multiple-wear possibilities give more bang for the buck.
And how many jumpsuits can do that? I love this jersey deep V jumper with
sneakers and a sporty tee for running around during the day and for a sexy
night out go bare or layer with a lacy camisole. Great with a wide belt, strappy heels or even boots, this is also an ideal all-purpose day-to-night, roll-up-in-your-luggage travel piece.”
$259, Xin, 8064 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA

5. The Onesie
Aslan Cattaui of the super cool baby gear store Babesta in NYC loves these sweet-n-sassie onesies.
“Love is in the air. With cupid swiftly approaching, it's time to celebrate your greatest (and smallest) love. These conversational heart onesies and tees, delivered in a heart shaped Valentine's candy box, are adorable with quips like Tru Luv, 4-Ever, U Rock and Babe Sta. XOXO Marks the Spot.”
$20 for one; $35 for two; $60 for four, Babesta, 56 Warren Street, Suite 400 East, New York, NY
