I'm in New York, attending the spring trade shows; FAME, Accessory the Show (yes- it is really called that) and Intermezzo. I had a great day today, which means that I found lots of good stuff. My favorite finds were some knuckle rings and the Pietro Alessandro bags.
We're staying at The Ace Hotel and it's a design dream. I love the quirky little sayings that they have posted all over the hotel. Some examples: by the elevator "love lifts us up were we belong", on the wood hangers "you look good in that" and behind the towel rack "if you want a fresh towel, leave it in the tub, if there is no tub, leave it on the floor, if there is no floor, leave."
We had a sweet visitor today at the shop - Billy the corgi! She was so loveable and Erica desperately wanted to keep her. We realized that she looked just like the fox printed dress by Corey Lynn Calter. Lucky girl...
2011! Here's to a great year! Let's take some chances this year - why not wear your sparkle during the day?! Don't save your dress up pieces for only special occasions, make everyday special! Try mixing them with simple, casual pieces like denim and jersey to carry them into the daytime.
My friend Sareet is one of the most talented gift wrappers that I have ever met! Look at my Coco Chanel themed packages! I love the miniature painting on top of the gold package by Mark Ryden...
I didn't want to open them! Hugs and kisses to Sareet and to the lovely Kirstin that bought me the most fabulous bottle of wine.
I hope you all had a great holiday and are keeping warm! This is Christmas Eve on Church Street and one of my favorite days to work. The customers are bustling around, asking for outrageous items and we sigh with relief because all of our work is done.
Happy New Year!!!
p.s we have a lot of "sparkle" on sale for the celebrations...
Not if you have this great jacket from Free People! I always admire the way that Free People styles their mannequins and they way that they can combine textures. I personally always feel like I'm wearing a costume when I attempt this but I do know people that can rock this look.
And you know what that means...trunk show time! Please join us on December 11th, we will be hosting the local favorite, Jennifer Kahn.
You can enter to win a pair of her earrings and we'll have some tasty snacks for you hungry shoppers. I also promise not to bombard you with holiday tunes.
