I was trying to think of something amusing, clever, or interesting to start this email off with but I cannot think of a THING. Oh, everyone on the metro including me, plays Angry Birds. If you do not know how to play, DO NOT START. It is so addictive.
Lilith has come in. If you need a suit or a mesh top in black, brown, or teal, they have arrived. I also received a gorgeous dressy skirt and a dress that has long ties that you can arrange in various ways. It is really stunning. One of the suits has an alternate top that turns the suit into a dress that can be worn to most any affair. Because my lighting and ok, my photography, is so horrible you cannot tell the real colors or that one of the suits is pinstriped, but it is. They are beautiful pieces. I have one in each size so if you are a Lilith enthusiast come soon.
Two of the Ray Harris coats have come in and I expect more this afternoon. They are really beautiful, warm and so soft in person. They are the perfect alternative to a fur coat in our politically correct city. Spun from soda bottles into fleece, they are a way to help the environment too. Black, brown, silver and smoky gray are the colors.
Kedem Sasson is in customs and should clear today or tomorrow so I should have the goods here Friday or Monday. If you have special orders I will email you immediately and if you are a big fan and want to make sure it is here, just email me and I will let you know. I am the only store in the country that got my full order because of the trunk show so I am very grateful to you all for ordering.
The Ray Harris show has been scheduled. Go to the events page for the details.
All the shows for the fall will benefit Stand for the Silent, a non profit that strives to give teachers and administrators the tools they need to prevent bullying in our schools and the internet. It was started by Kirk Smalley and his wife Laura because after going to school for over two years to complain about their 11 year old son being bullied and having the school do nothing, Ty killed himself. The Bully Project, a movie that has been bought by the Weinstein Company, documents this rampant epidemic in our schools and the Smalleys are by far the most heartbreaking part. They have used up all of their savings traveling to the many schools that invite them daily and now Kirk has been let go from his job. I would really like to help them as I was a teacher and I know how bad this can get. Last year the President and Mrs. Obama invited them to the White House for a private visit. www.standforthesilent.com
Lots of new customers have come in and are shocked that I have been here so long! If everyone could do me a favor and forward this email to just one person that you think might like our particular kind of clothes, that would be so helpful. And to all of you who keep spreading the word thank you so much. I do so appreciate it.
Sale pieces are at 50% off and you can follow Upstairs on 7th on Facebook and Twitter.
Have a great week!
