Bedtime for Beauties

Alice & Astrid Loungewear

The ’80s. When Friday night with the girls meant OD’ing on cookie dough and dancing around the house in cute little matching pajamas.

Oh, how times have changed. Last weekend’s fuel came straight up with a twist. The girls have been traded in for questionable guys. And your current boxer-and-tee ensemble is best limited to an audience of none.

Still. Sometimes a girl’s gotta dress for a sleepover. So get yourself some Alice & Astrid loungewear. Previously available only across the pond, the breezy collection of camis and nighties is now at Supple in Berkeley.

Touches of lace, polka dots, and hearts, and colors like flamingo pink, sunshine yellow, and coral will inspire you to stage your own slumber party revival.

And you’re certain to be the cat’s pajamas — no matter who’s your partner in crime when you’re raiding the fridge at midnight.

Available at Supple, 1543 Hopkins Street, at Sacramento Street, Berkeley (510-525-7068).
