Day Tripper

Manoush Fall Collection

Like, 50 percent of your life is spent daydreaming.

Which is understandable, considering that the other 50 seems to be spent in the land of copy, paste, copy, paste. (Also known as Cubiclehampton.)

To bring a bit more of the former into the latter, check out the fall collection from Manoush.

The whimsical dresses and coats will make you feel like some kind of wandering nomad (albeit with better clothes than those hippies from the drum circle in the park). The cuts are ’70s-inspired silhouettes or look like doll clothes for grown-ups.

A short black dress has a herd of deer running around the empire waist; a black and white bubble dress has a silver dove sewn onto the bodice. Throw one on and your waking life will immediately feel a lot dreamier.

For reasons other than that you’ve been sniffing the toner all day.

Available at Third Street Habit, 153 North Third Street (215-925-5455).
