SO MUCH NEWS!
Let me warn you that this is the first of what I hope will be two emails this week. I am waiting to confirm something I am planning but there is so much that has come into the store the last few days that I could not wait ESPECIALLY since some of it is already selling!
The Peter O. Mahler poplin suit is here in plum or black. It is the best most comfortable cotton and it will take you from spring to fall here. It is a little more conservative but for those of you who need to wear a suit once in awhile it is a great looking one and of course has some interesting pockets, and as usual the quality is excellent. It also has a great vest which will make the pant a little less formal. (Pictured below in khaki which I have as well as gray.)
These great scarves/cloth necklaces came in from Brazil. They are interesting and a little different as well as airport proof which believe me is important if you have tried to walk through the TSA machine with your fab pin necklace from Barbara de Jounge.
More newsprint tees have come in but these are the last of them unless you beg me when these are gone once again. Sun Kim and Comfy will be in next week so as soon as you hear from me come in because you know it goes fast. There are some fabulous inexpensive dresses coming in this shipment. The long skirt is also coming in white, creme, and grape. And lots of cap sleeve tees for summer in black, white, gray and cocoa like last time as well as some other tees. I bought lots of styles and colors.
New bags are here from Sondra Roberts too. And do not forget if you have not done so to put the Kedem Sasson and Annemieke show on your calendar for February 28th and 29th because Andy said there are some amazing dresses in the collection. I will see it in New York when I go to buy fall next week (CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THAT) and so I will take a picture or two! If I remember that is.
How did you like the Superbowl commercials? I thought they were less clever this year but I did like the Doritos, Mr. Quiggly, the here we go dog for Bud, the Clint Eastwood Detroit ad and also the Etrade baby just because that is the cutest little boy ever. Oh and the fat dog going on a diet so he could chase the VW again.
Over the weekend and in between eating deep dish pizza from PI Pizza and gaining a pound, we watched Ides of March on Demand. It was really really good. Very surprised it did not do better at the box office or maybe it did and I was not paying attention. It really shows the dark side of politics so for those of you in that business, hats off to you!
Uptown Magazine came out with its Best Of edition and named U7 the best store in DC along with just one other so that was very nice indeed. Thanks to all of you for shopping here!

If you want to have five minutes in your day to laugh google Ali Wentworth on Daily Shot and watch these hilarious observations about our world right from Ali’s kitchen table. VERY FUNNY!
Ok, stay tuned to your email and keep your fingers crossed that I can have this special event!
