Ivan Grundahl, Samuel Coraux, Petra Meiren and more at Upstairs on 7th!

We know you are waiting for our San Lorenzo restaurant review so we will start with that!  It was great.  The menu is all Chef Massimo and very similar to Tosca but without the unusual tiramisu! (It’s not like he is going to forget how to cook by changing venues!). The restaurant itself is very charming with antiqued brick walls and it has space for 16 people for a private party that is in the back of the rest of the seating. Massimo has hired several familiar faces that at one time or another have worked at Tosca or Posto so it felt like old home week.  Massimo comes out quite often so if you know him you will get to see him.  Our little pre dinner taste was our favorite squash blossom so we were happy from beginning to end.
Speaking of food, one of our lovely customers’ son has a really good food blog that highlights medium to less expensive restaurants in DC so we thought we would send that along to you as so many people ask us for good restaurants.  Rickeatsdc.com.
It is so fun at this time of year when all kinds of boxes arrive everyday filled with beautiful clothes, jewelry and accessories.  Since we bought it so long ago we have completely forgotten what we bought so we have the best time opening up the deliveries. In the last few days we received our jewelry from Petra Meiren, Sandrine and Samuel Coraux.
Twig necklace from Samuel Coraux
Bracelets from Petra Mieren
Wear a thin one, a thicker one, or a bunch stacked together both in gold or silver and lots of great colors.
We also received Natalie Martin.  We love her very affordable dresses, jackets, blouses and skirts.

This morning we should be getting the first pieces of our Ivan Grundahl collection which we are so happy to have back in the store.  It is a line we really love and they have some wonderful styles this season.  His team really did a great job of designing a collection we know he would really love.

Get ready all you Rundholz people.  The first shipment will be in next week and as usual we cannot wait!! We will let you know as soon as it gets here. We got Black Label, Collection and Dip this time so we are super excited.
Don’t forget the Planet fall trunk show is August 23rd and 24th.  Can’t wait to see the rest of the collection!

We reduced our summer stock to 50% – 80% off so if you saw something that you were waiting to go down more and we still have it, you are in luck. Feel free to email us to ask if we still have it or to buy it. We can always send it out if you can’t get down here.
Hope to see you soon!
