What are the chances of having an earthquake AND a hurricane in DC in the same week? Those are odds that not even an odds maker would have predicted. For a building that is a city block big, I can tell you my store shook like it was a feather. Ironically, I was on the phone with a customer from California. I hope all of you have power and came through the hurricane alright. With huge trees around our house and branches falling, I could hardly sleep until after four as I felt we were only one big gust away from a tree falling on our house and no power for a week. Believe me you do not want to see my hair that curly. AND no coffee. Very cranky. (I did get to re watch the last three episodes of Sex and the City so that was fun and OH THAT PRADA DRESS! To die for!) So I hope all this weather is behind us and we can get down to what is really important: FALL FASHION. I must tell you this: at 2 in the morning Jane Mohr of Dress to Kill was texting me to see if everything here was okay and at 2:30 in the morning a customer, and I swear this is true, was emailing me to order two of Dress to Kill’s circle pants. I could not make this up if I tried. So at least one person was concentrating on fall fashion!!
Half of the Crea has arrived in all its beauty and there are only 15 pieces of Kedem left in stock. If you love Kedem then I would get in here because there are no re orders and everyone around the country is selling out of it fast. I even got a customer a piece from another store! That is how good it is.
Ray Harris is coming in three weeks. If anyone wants anything in particular, please let me know because he will bring stock with him. If anyone wants a scarf or a stole with sleeves in a particular color or a dressy dress or any of the organzas, this would be the time to let me know. Today his store is all boarded up because there is a big carnival there and he is expecting riots again. How do I know this? Because he called me three times to find out if I was okay this weekend. How much nicer could anyone be? He also said his new spring collection is amazing and he never brags so it must be!!
LILITH and LUNN by Lilith is in and is selling pretty quickly. There are some beautiful dressy pieces from Lilith and the corduroy from Lunn is fantastic. It is so soft and looks really good on. The Lunn is priced so well so if you want some pieces designed by Lilith with really low prices Lunn is your line. Do not forget that the Lillith trunk show is in October with all the details on my site.
I am expecting Manouk jewelry in this week and there are some fabulous pieces as usual. The rest of the Peter O Mahler will also be here and maybe even the rest of the Crea.
HURRICANE SALE! For the first time ever and because my accountant told me to, the last of the sale items are marked down to SEVENTY percent off. That means there are things here for 30 dollars. Seriously.
If you want to know all the latest news go to my Facebook page as I do list what has come in as soon as it does on that page.
Have a fantastic holiday. I am back in the store on Tuesday although I am around this weekend if anyone wants to come in on Saturday. That would make you and me the only people in town.
