We just marked everything down to 60% off and some great items down to as much as 80% off so there are lots of bargains to start out the year. We have some Rundholz, Gianni, Planet, Rachel Comey, lots of New Form Perspective sweaters that are almost all year round plus lots of accessories and several styles of handbags from OAD. There is a little bit of Comfy and Ace and Jig as well as Priory pants and a great sweater from Ivan Grundahl. And several dresses and jackets from Ray Harris which does not happen often!
Thanks to everyone who came to Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th with our amazing guest Gayle Smith, CEO and President of One.org. Who knew she does a great impression of Bill Clinton? And thanks to Al Volo, our new neighbor for the fabulous pizza party. I know many of you know them from Eastern Market so you know what I am talking about when I say they have great pizza, fresh pasta, and amazing tiramisu. It is a double edged sword to have them right next to us because we could eat their food everyday.
We have our first gentleman coming to Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th in March. As soon as we solidify the date we will announce it. It is going to be really really good!
We got lots of Dress to Kill in and this blouse is one of our favorites. Throw on a new Angela Caputi necklace and you are good to go! See Angela’s new spring collection of bracelets, earrings, and beautiful necklaces perfect even now. Because why wait when you can wear it the minute you get it? Like we do!
This Angela Caputi necklace comes in blue, red and gray. This is the new bead she is doing this season.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Annemieke show. Annemieke will be here on Friday, February 16th from 11-7 with an artist talk and champagne reception from 5-7 and for breakfast on Saturday, February 17th, starting at 10 until 5. Please RSVP if you will be joining us for the breakfast so we have plenty of food and mimosas! Annemieke is launching a new material that was inspired by a painting that Katy did. So Katy will be bringing in the six panels she has created in conjunction with Annemieke and they will give an informal artist’s talk on Friday night.
The Ray Harris show is March 1st through March 3rd and we are always excited to see his new designs. His spring and summer clothes will be in the store next week and we can hardly wait to show them to you. HIs new fortuny fabric and the new polished pleated jackets and dresses are gorgeous and available in lots of colors to be reversed. And no one makes a better denim jacket.
This fabric comes in all the colors and lots of styles.
I love this jacket and there are equally gorgeous coats and dresses made from it in lots of colors.
No words except COOL.
Heydari is here! If you are going anywhere warm in the next few weeks come in and get one of her great tops or dresses.
This is one gorgeous dress!
Saturday, join us for the March. We will open at 10:00 so that you can stop by and get to the Mall by 11:00 if you want to be there at the start. You are more than welcome to leave your purses as we don’t think you are allowed to take them into the designated areas. We can store them in the back until you return and we will close at 5. We will have lots of snacks too!
The doors to the main building are locked on Saturday so you can enter through the back of Au Bon Pain, or the entrance on E Street NW between 12th and 13th.
See you soon.
Come to the Sale. Come to the March. Come to the shows. Come to Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th.
So generally what we are saying is give up your life and come and hang out with us!
Ricki and Katy
