Room with a View

Room Seven Clothing

Ruby red, fiery orange, shimmering gold, all the rich colors of fall: Here today, gone tomorrow.

Not so with clothing by Room Seven. The fashionable pieces come from the daughter of the founder of Oilily in a fall collection that’s worth a peek.

For little ladies with style: the Doy dress in mismatched floral patterns. Or pair the Tim Love shirt in pink and red with the multicolor, multipattern Saffran patchwork skirt for the changing season.

Consider it a line worth falling for.

Available at Village Baby, 23a Harvard Street, Brookline (617-232-4900 or villagebaby.com). To see styles, go to room7usa.com.
