There is nothing we wanted to hear more this Monday morning than that men's silk pajamas are back in style. Pardon us while we redefine the stay-at-home writer wardrobe--silk pajamas are a definite step-up.

Tiffany's has unveiled a concept store that was two years in the pipeline. A smaller, more casual Tiffany's opened in Glendale, California and showcases the more moderately priced collections available from the brand.

Agnes B opened her first shop in Hong Kong and hired Au Revoir Simone to play at the opening. The 15,000 square foot space houses mens and women's collections, a travel store, a florist, a chocolate boutique, and a French bistro in an atrium.

And..in case you missed the news on Friday, Radar and Elle Accessories are both folding.

>> Now that Prada has released Sasha Pivovarova from her campaign exclusive, it's fun to see where else she pops up. The latest? She joins flower child Lily Cole, opera-going Liya Kebede, and a chic Shalom Harlow in the Fall 2008 Tiffany & Co. cast, looking like an updated Audrey Hepburn. Word on the street is that Hye Rim Park also makes an appearance in the set, but we'll have to wait a little longer on that one.
