Ring a Ding Ding it’s Party Time!

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and you know what that means… parties!!!  Now here’s another riddle for you, what is the greatest party accessory?!  Us Love Brigade souldiers think it’s a big ol’ accent ring!!!  Think about it… when you’re at a bbq or a dinner party you constantly have either a drink or food in your hand, right?!  By adding a little sparkle to that partying hand you are definitely going to stand out. 

Come by and visit the Love Brigade store to find that perfect bit of ” boom” to add to your Memorial Day Party outfit.  We have hundreds of the most unique rings you have ever seen. Big rings, double rings, knuckle rings you name it we got it. And most of them are as cheap as $25!!!  

Store Style - Alexa showing some love!

The weather Gods have relented and spring is finally here. And so are Love Brigade's signature Spring Dresses. Our beautiful Fashion Intern Alexa is wearing the Love Brigade Rich Eye Dress. The mesh lining throughout the dress and twill tape details on the shoulders make this perfect for a casual sunday brunch or a lazy day out in the sun.

Those boots are sexy!

More styles available at our store (230 Grand Street, Brooklyn) and now we're open all 7 days of the week!!!

OPEN YOUR HEART

You know it's Springtime when....

A.) You're so happy to be outside you find yourself smiling at strangers on the street... even the creepy ones. 

B.) Love Brigade leaves its door propped open all day.

C.) Love Brigade adds two more days to their boutique hours.

D.) All of the above.

It's just too nice outside not to love you every day of the week!

And as Madonna demonstrates, you can't open up anything without opening your heart up first.... Or at least dancing in a b-rate peep show. (Side note: I think if Madonna shopped at Love Brigade she'd kill it in these.)

WE ARE ONE

We all have that one place: 

the independent coffee shop that gets it perfect every time, 

the locally-owned pharmacy that plays underground music, 

the corner restaurant and bar where strangers become family.

We, at Love Brigade, are your neighbor and can identify with the threat that big corporations have suddenly posed on maintaining the integrity of our local surroundings. 

As a collective we must take action to preserve and defend our neighborhood! We MUST revolt the giants.

What are you doing to empower your community?
