Doppelganger

Meet mine.  When my friend Kirstin pointed this image out to me, I had to take a double take.  Was that really me?  Wait - I don't own any of that clothing and I had to cancel my trip to NYC...but for a hot second...I almost thought it was.  

Update to this post - I got to meet Garance Dore at the NYNOW show.  I told her about this picture (she had never seen it).  I felt like an idiot telling her how I thought we looked alike but I couldn't stop babbling...or shaking...

Happy New Year!

The holiday rush is behind us and we are making room for all that 2014 will bring.  We've gotten in new Clover Canyon, BB Dakota and Jack.  Almost everything else is on sale...stop in and say hello!

OH!  And check this out...I started an online store!

Santa!

We hosted a special shopping night last night but the ice storm really put a damper on the event.  Our Santa was stuck on 89.  A trip that normally would have taken 45 minutes took 3 hours and two buses!  He finally made it and we elves celebrated!  

City sidewalks

I made a quick trip into the city to look at Maison Scotch and Giles & Brother pre-fall collections.  Yes...pre-fall.  You know I love any excuse to go to the city but New York is just magical during the holidays.  

My favorite thing to do is shop the windows for display ideas.This shop used business cards to create a simple wreath.  

The garland at Frye took my breath away - proving that classic simplicity is sometimes the best approach to a window display.  

I may have an addiction.

I am addicted to Clover Canyon.  There, I said it.  

We just got in the resort collection, inspired by Cuba and it's lush tropical influences.  Clover Canyon is designed and produced in Los Angeles.  Each pattern is thoughtfully placed and even cheeky at times.  

Come in and check it out - we also will be getting in swim suits this spring!

What comes around goes around

Where have I been...I haven't been in hiding or kidnapped .  But the lack of posts this summer, beg to differ.  I'm feeling hopeful and inspired for this upcoming holiday season.  Maybe it will translate into some posts...

The image is of Free People for our November delivery.  Overalls are back and you'll see them in a variety of fabrications.  These are a fitted herringbone twill.  We also ordered the printed maxi skirt.  Hope to see you soon!

Sweet Lady Jane is turning 10

We have a very special milestone coming up next month - we are turning 10!  To celebrate, we are asking our Sweet Lady Jane friends and family to submit their SLJ memories, favorite outfits or anything that reminds them of Sweet Lady Jane.  We've had some great submissions...

"This is my Favorite Free people dress purchased from Sweet Lady Jane a few years ago, It was my 30th Birthday Surprise Party and the dancing on the bar was toward the end of the night after MANY pomegranate cosmos!! Sweet lady Jane has always been my go to for the perfect outfit for the perfect event in my life... need I say more! :)"

"Happy Birthday SLJ! Thanks for being there to dress me for all the important events in my life! This is a picture from the day my now husband and I got engaged. The green corduroy jacket is by tulle and the jeans are by it jeans. I'm also pretty sure the bag and umbrella are from Trinket."
