November's Five Easy Pieces

NOVEMBER'S FIVE EASY PIECES
LOCAL RETAILERS PICK THEIR FAVORITES

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.

2. THE SLEEPWEAR
Cyla Weiner of the elegant and sexy Sylene in Chevy Chase, MD, loves these cool pajamas.

“After much thinking on the subject, I decided that Bedhead blue deco flower flannel PJs are just the perfect item for your readers. They're really cute, very comfy and completely cozy for cold winter nights—whether you're breastfeeding, lounging by the fire, working late or resting in bed. Available in small through extra large and always chic, Bedhed is the darling of Hollywood celebs.”

3. THE KNITS
Jamara Ghalayini of hip and progressive Pumpkinheads (they donate a percentage of their profits to local charities) in Los Angeles, CA, loves this luxe line of affordable knits.

“This is the sweater for us! Rico Hand Knits, all 100% cotton in rich vibrant colors, makes the softest sweaters you will ever feel. We blow out of them every fall as they have a great price, averaging $57. For babies, customers love the zip back hoodie sweater that made Rico famous. It has a protected hidden zipper that extends from the hood to the bottom, allowing you to completely open the sweater up from the back and easily put it on even a sleeping baby. Sizes range from six to 12 months to six years.”

4. THE MEN'S SHIRT
Asa and Jessica from the sleek, modern-classic SO Stockholm Objects in Hinsdale, IL, love this timeless shirt.

“A long time classic shirt from J Lindeberg, the Hunter shirt has also been named as the 'Fieldsensor shirt' for its excellent liquid absorption, evaporation and dry touch. The fit is traditional and the design makes you look slimmer without being too tight. You can wear the shirt for work and more casual play, including a round of golf. If you are curious about the JL design, this is the shirt makes a perfect entrée—after it, you'll be hooked.”
