Spring Into Color

“I like light, color, luminosity. I like things full of color and vibrant.” ~Oscar de la Renta

Spring has officially arrived. The weather is warming, flowers are emerging, color is blooming. It’s time to trade in our winter greys and blacks for some cheerful hues. Spring clothing is arriving daily at Momo, including these bright happy pieces:

Raffi clothing is a family business led by Raffi Shaya, who is attributed with having an “almost clairvoyant ability to forecast color.” We won’t argue! We are loving out newest pure linen shirts, available in a playful pink and a delicious summery blue.

100% linen Raffi shirts in pink and cornflower blue.

Brand new and fresh from Hawaii: Pitacus by Lisa Wiemken. Lisa’s clothing is made in Hawaii from vibrant Japanese textiles. What always thrills us? Dresses with pockets! Pitacus’ oversized patch pockets add a measure of practicality belied by the playful fabric.

Pitacus top with amazing pocket.

Pitacus tunic, made from Japanese fabrics.

A gentle way to ease into spring color (we know it can be a shock to the system after six months of drizzle and monochrome) is to accessorize with a pop of color! I. Ronni Kappos masterfully combines her treasure trove of vintage German glass components into happy bright jewelry. Momo has a brand new batch of her creations, the perfect greeting for spring.

Whimsical, happy color: vintage German glass by jeweler I. Ronni Kappos.

Spring Scores at the Momo Good Fortune Sale

“That’s the way the cookie crumbles!” is a good thing when it comes to our Momo semi-annual sale happening for the next two weeks. It’s our way of offering you incredible deals while making room for new goodies ... and, as the proverbial THEY say, “Early bird gets the worm!” But then again, we often randomly mark down new items, so it’s all a fun game of chance, with every one a winner. Here’s how it works: Decide that you need to go home with a SALE item.  Bring said SALE item to the counter.  Pick a tasty, crunchy fortune cookie out of a jar and open it. Inside is a special fortune giving you an ADDITIONAL 10% - 30% OFF THE SALE PRICE. Eat cookie. Do not eat fortune. Leave feeling stylish and smug for saving money. Hope to see you at Momo soon! Prairie Underground’s ‘Leaf Miner’ is sleek yet comfy. Reindeer leather adorns the cuffs of Finland’s Marita Huurinainen cardigan. Wom&Now tunic-length cardi is toasty warm. We love the striped details. Retro but not campy - Marigold’s tunic dress is wrinkle-proof and flattering. Prairie Underground, complete with their signature pocket ruching! Love love love the easy fit. Wom&Now’s drop-waist dress is another low-maintenance, wrinkle-free piece. The playful floral graphic is rendered in the subtle colors that Seattle prefers.

Men’s clothing is also a part of the Good Fortune Sale! Here’s a sampling of what the gents can look forward to scoring: 

Azul jersey crew has a great texture. Pair with this
navy Bench zip-through hoodie for a casual day out.

Stylish but not stuffy: Bruun & Stengade button-up
layered with a Raffi sweater.

in soft taupe, classic blue or black. 

Glad for Dad

Dad, Pops, Old Man, Big Daddy ... Sir — no matter what you call your father, call your father! It’s Dad’s Day, Sunday, June 19. And to show him that you appreciate everything he does, give him a little love from Momo.

For the Dandy Dada, Lorenzo Uomo socks from Italy and hats from family-owned and run, New York Hat and Cap Company.

Since he’s partially responsible for your good looks, make him look good, too, with a passel of products from Billy Jealousy. Pappy will love the smooth shave, pleasant citrus aftershave, hydrating moisturizer and his beaming new countenance. And we’ve recently added shampoo and gel to the line up, so he’s well-coiffed, as well. 

And we’ve no shortage of shirts, long-sleeves and short. Give Baba the comfort of natural fabrics like cotton and linen, so cool for our warming Northwest weather.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads and a big Mahalo for being Momo men.
