Happy Valentine's Day

Winters can be long in Vermont...sometimes it helps to attend the "Winter is a Drag Ball." Sara was inspired by the event and decided to wear her wig at work. Sometimes all you need is a colorful accessory and everything is good.

By the way have you checked out our latest venture- trinket?

Is it too early to be thinking of fall?

Oh Prada...you kill me. This is from the fall RTW collection and it looks like fall will be simple but luxe. This look is familiar and fresh at the same time. We've seen the monoglian fur before but is that a tassel hanging from her hat?

Sweet customers- part 2

We got in some cute jackets from Tulle and it gives us hope that spring weather will eventually come our way. We also got in a fresh batch of James Jeans. There are some great basic cuts in dark washes. Here is another sweet email testimonial from a customer:

I came home today from my little shopping spree, and tried on my new French Connection dress (the black racerback with the tiered skirt). My three and a half year old daughter came up behind me and said, "Oh Mommy, you look GOOD." Nothing beats that! As always, your things are the favorites in my closet.

Thank you for making me look and feel good!

Sweet customers

I left for the NY Gift Show on Tuesday and while I was away, I got the sweetest email from a customer. I would like to share it with you. Oh by the way the picture is of downtown Burlington and Lake Champlain.

Hi Sweet Lady Jane,

I just wanted to let you know that I recently bought a handbag from you, a black shoulder bag by Industry, and I am so happy! After searching high and low and literally every store in Boston you ladies had exactly what I was looking for. Plus, when I bought the bag, the woman who helped me was so nice. I think you have found the perfect "touch" of helping the customer-- a little breathing room, but being present and helpful at the same time.

So, thanks again! Keep up the great work.

Missing in action

Where did this month go? We've been busy sprucing up the store and receiving spring merchandise. Pictured to the left is a small sampling. The watercolor tee shirt is by Free People and made in the U.S.! The sweaters are from French Connection. We love the heart sweater with a high waist pencil skirt. A lot of the pieces we have in right now will transition nicely into the warmer months. It has to get warmer, right?!

Day three...

Okay- I'm feeling it today- my feet hurt, none of my shoes seem to fit, my bag seems to weigh a hundred pounds, and I tried to get some extra sleep today but that didn't work out. Am I whining?

I wrapped up most of my work today. Now comes the scary process of adding up the orders. I spent how much...?????? Oh- here is a birds eye view of the Intermezzo trade show.

Mint Julep

After a long day at the shows, Stephanie, Brooke, Tom and I all went to visit Mint Julep. This is the latest edition to the Mint Julep stores, the other two are located in Boston. It's a great boutique- chock full of a great finds and if you're in NYC, you have to check it out. I was in there for 10 minutes and found two "must have" dresses!

Afterward, we went to the Stanton Social for dinner.
