It's that time of year when the traveling bug starts to rear its head. Designer & owner, Dory Isaacs, curated a selection of guys objects which evoke that feeling of stylish far off places..starring the perfect classic men's Marine Watch with stripe nylon/leather strap.
P.S. The couple in the photo is Dory's mother & father, Lilian & Harold, taken in England 1952.
Why not return the favor with some arm candy she can show off this Spring? Our curated 'Mummy Dearest Collection' is now online. We are also working on getting some gift certificates online in the next week so you don't have to guess what her favorite might be. Stay tuned...
It's official...Prince still has it and we have proof...Dory Isaacs (designer & owner) went to see his purple velvet suit wearing self last night at the DNA Lounge. Why no pictures you ask? There was a strict rule enforced by Prince himself for nobody to take photos with their phones during the show or apparently you would be kicked out. What's a Prince concert without a little eccentricity eh?
After our envy wore off here in the office, we heard about his amazing all female band, that he was sporting a 'baby afro' in place of his sleeker style and that he played some of the greats...Purple Rain & When Dove's Cry included.
In our 'What Would Prince Do?' moment, we couldn't help but shortlist 3 watches we thought he might wear with his, always noteworthy, ensembles.
We recently did a shoot with talented British photographer, Lucy Goodhart, inside Dory Isaacs's home. TOKYObay's designer/owner has a fantastic eye, not only in the collections she creates for the brand, but in her own space. Here are a few sneak peek shots with some close ups of Dory's jewelry and lovely things!
Above: the expansive 40ft x 25ft living room with floor to ceiling custom built fireplace, original wall frieze tiles made by the previous owner/sculptor and antique gilded mirror. The pillows are made from reclaimed linen on London buses (Routemaster) used to show the destination and bus number.

We recently spotted Katie Holmes wearing a cross body Derek Lam camera bag which you can check out here (slide #8) but we couldn't help but gawk at the $1,390 price tag! For all of you out there that want a stylish and affordable take on this celeb look-a-like boxy compact...the Bailey boxette in lush merlot colored leather is the perfect match.
