Here's what's piquing our interest this week:
• Diane, remember how much we loved March in SF when you were in town last fall and how we wanted to buy everything (but you were so admirably restrained)? They're having a sale from January 30 to February 13.
• Sarah's considering the compellingly priced (and well designed) sunglasses at Warby Parker. Great selection; which pair to buy?

• Stacey and Christine visited the LA headquarters of Dosa and got a glimpse of the spring collection coming out next month (hint: indigo is involved). For readers in NY, the Dosa Warehouse Sale is next weekend from Friday, February 1 to Sunday, February 3 at 628 Broadway, Suite 392. (Also see our Shopper's Diary).

• Charmed by this video on Irish Folk Furniture.
