SUN KIM and KEDEM SASSON have arrived at Upstairs on 7th

As we speak we are unpacking all the Sun Kim and it is fab as usual. There is nothing more fun than opening the boxes for the fall season.  We buy six months in advance so we are just as surprised as anyone to see what is inside.  It really feels like what Christmas must be like to a little kid.

For all you Kedem Sasson fans the collection is so excellent that you will want a few pieces for sure.  There are some great coats and two pairs of pants that I know you will want to add to your Kedem collection.  They can be mixed with pieces you already own of his too. AND, there is a fabulous felt top that is fab!

We have one coat left from Rundholz Dip! It is the coolest coat we are going to get this season!  Inside the down vest can be used by itself!

We got in our beautiful OAD handbags and there is nothing better for travel than these innovative bags.  They look small but they are mighty with lots of pockets to put your passport, phone, cards and just about everything else without making them look bulky.  AND most of them can be crossbody by pulling the straps through the opening.  This season there are lots of colors and styles.  Here is what you can get into them while still looking really good.


Here is their new keychain with lots of little pockets for cards and money.

We got this sweater in finally although the other colors have not arrived yet but I am hopping they will be here soon!  If anyone wants the black and vanilla one just let me know as we have them!!


Annemieke left all of the stock that she brought with her for the show so there is a huge assortment of them in every color and style.  We will have them for just a short time so if you are thinking about giving them as gifts, now would be a good time to see them.  They do make great hostess gifts by the way.


We cannot wait for Ray Harris to come here on September Friday, September 22nd through Sunday, September 24th!  Let your men friends enjoy football and come down to see all of Ray’s new spring styles and mimosas of course!!

His gorgeous fall line has arrived and those of you who have ordered dresses, even my mothers of the bride, your pieces have been cut and done or even shipped in a lot of cases.  Here is one of Ray’s beautiful felted plaid coats:

And here are two dresses we love:



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.

Alquema, Giada Forte, Natalie Martin, and Heydari all came in this week so there is lots to see!

Have a great weekend, don’t forget we are open on Saturdays and hope to see you soon for all of our events and all our gorgeous fall clothes and accessories!

Ricki and Katy
