ANNEMIEKE will be here this Thursday and Friday and we cannot wait! We are just unpacking all the samples and some of the new colors are just gorgeous. My own personal favorites are the navy ones. Beautiful. With Annemieke in the store you can order specific colors so you might start looking through your wardrobe to see what you might need, and by that I mean, want! Even if you don’t need or want another one, if you have not met her yet, stop by. She is just lovely and she only comes to the store every other year so I would love for you to meet her.
She is bringing all the samples of the new styles she is doing and she has a TON of stock here for you to get right away. Here is a picture of the new blue she is doing. Beautiful right?
And this fabulous new style! We will be serving champagne as usual and we look forward to seeing you!!
I am so excited to announce that our next guest for Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th, on Wednesday, September 27th, will be the first and only female Mayor of Cleveland, Jane Campbell. I have known Jane since 1998 when she was a Cleveland Commissioner who gave huge support to Dress for Success and her career has brought her to DC where she is the Director of the National Development Council and President of Women Impacting Public Policy, (WIPP). She is one of the nicest women I have ever met and she is very fascinating. I know you will love meeting her and hearing what she has to say about women in politics amid our current events. Please mark your calendars and RSVP to what I know will be one of our best conversations yet. As an added bonus, Katy and I have some special Cleveland surprises up our sleeve so don’t miss this night! Please feel free to invite guests as we really love having a big crowd for these events.
Our Ray Harris show is on Friday, September 22nd through SUNDAY, September 24th and his new spring line is beautiful, as usual. We have received just about all the styles we ordered from his new fall line and we are already starting to sell out of his pieces so be sure to see them when you stop by. Especially if you need a special dress as we can order them in any color as long as you give us enough time. He is doing the black pin jacket in DENIM for spring and it looks fantastic!
I love this plaid dress!
This plaid felted coat with the faux fur is so beautiful in person! Perfect for our temperate weather. And speaking of weather: we saw An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power the other day. Talk about what a disaster our planet is and will be if we don’t do something fast. It was very interesting to see how hard it was to get everyone to agree to the Paris Accord. Of course we no longer are a participant so it makes it even worse when you see how difficult it was and how the US played a huge role in getting it done. We went to Central afterwards and I hate about 40 of their cheese puffs, so then I felt much better!!
Here is a fab jacket from Planet in the vegan leather. Love this!
Alquema, Giada Forte, Natalie Martin, and Heydari all came in this week so there is lots to see!
Have a great week, see you soon for all of our events and all our gorgeous fall clothes and accessories!
Ricki and Katy
