Don’t worry, I am working on the Oscar fashion review but it takes a little while to upload all the pictures so by tomorrow or Wednesday I promise to send it out. I just wonder what all of you thought of the telecast because I have to say that not only did I think it was the worst show they ever produced, I literally fell asleep for a few minutes and never saw the best supporting actress category! That has NEVER happened. But more on that later.
What I want to tell you today is first of all, thanks to everyone who came to the Ray Harris show. It was the best one yet and that is saying a lot because last year he was our top designer. His line has never been better. It was smaller than usual because Ray said he got sick. I told him to get sick more often! And when I say smaller I mean it was 145 pieces instead of 175 pieces so there was lots to choose from. It is the first time that we ever had a piece that so many people wanted and that was the cotton, tulle and pin jacket both in the short and the medium length. I bought some for the store but if you want one let me know. It is really spectacular and everyone wanted to take the sample including ME!
Here is a picture of the shortest one:
This skirt was amazing too. I love this pattern. His fleece shawl, long vest, and short jacket were also fantastic. They come in gray, black, and taupe. I bought those for the store. As soon as I get pictures of them I will send them along. We were so busy I didn’t have time to take any. Oh, and the neoprene jackets and coat were great as well.
While the Ray show was going on lots of Comfy, Ivan Grundahl, and Alembika came in. We did get a new tee shape from Comfy and some long sleeve black and white tees in the usual fabric. A lot of them are already gone so come in soon if you need them. We bought lots of dresses from Comfy in blue and red jersey. I bought color people! The $155 mesh dress is also here that we had in black last season and that we have in navy this one.
Alembika is a line I have never bought before but the stores that are like mine are always telling me how much their customers love it so you can see for yourselves. It is all here. Pinstripe pants and tops, sweaters and vests.
Last week I was in New York buying for fall. It was one of those seasons that looked so good it was hard to pare the lines down. I will give you a full report AFTER I do the Oscar email but here is some GREAT NEWS: Kedem Sasson is BACK! His line was back to being the interesting pieces we fans are used to, and he was there. So we are back to having a trunk show for the line on Friday, March 11th from 11-6. There are three amazing coats and probably ten pieces that I want for my own closet. Here we are:
Just one of Kedem’s fab coat
s: 
See, I told you. He is back to his old fabulous self! There is a herringbone wool coat that was wonderful.
Ok so that is it for now. I am going to work on the Oscar email.
It’s a gorgeous day for shopping.
