New Annemieke, Alembika and Chef Amy Brandwein

The new pieces from Annemieke are so beautiful and in some instances, very subtle. We are the only store that has the new colors as she is so great about sending our order to us first.  Katy will tell you all about it, but she got to make a necklace in Annemieke’s studio and she was shocked at how long and how many stages it takes to produce just one.  She is having a great time and will be sure to write you all about it next week when she gets home.
Here are just some of the new colors from Annemieke:
Here is her new mix style that is very full in her new material.  Doubled they make a great statement.
NO ONE is going to be more excited to have Katy back here than me.  For the last three years I have had her by my side. Since she has been gone I have been reminded how much work this is and I am wondering how in the world did I do it? Maybe I am just getting OLD!!  Oh, I already am!
We have received so many fabulous things this week. These coats by Alembika are just one of my new favorites.  They can be reversed although they are not really reversible but that has never stopped us!

I know what you are all thinking: I have gone over to the other side because of these flowers but I do love this coat, flowers and all.  I got one myself so you know I love it.  Of course you wear it over all black or navy! And that makes it just a fabulous accessory.
Speaking of accessories we found these fantastic foil handbags from Replika.
Foil is a big trend this season and we just could not resist.  The smaller bag can be worn as a belt and also as a shoulder bag.  Love these.
If you are waiting to see the Rundholz pieces don’t wait too long as we have sold over 80 pieces already and we hate to disappoint anyone. There are some beautiful dresses and some great skirts and blouses.
Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th starts again in September and we are very exited about our speakers.  First up on Tuesday, September 10th is Chef Amy Brandwein, owner of Centrolina and the new Piccolina.  Both of these restaurants are so good and our dinner that evening will of course catered by Chef Amy.  Please RSVP because as always we have limited space.
Don’t forget our sale is still on through the end of August and that includes our vast jewelry collection and socks and scarves all at 50% off.  Also, our OAD bags are all 20% off as well. This is the perfect time to start Christmas shopping: beautiful things at great prices.
One last thing: Katy I know you are reading this:  PLEASE COME HOME!!
See you all soon,
Ricki
