What’s in at Upstairs on 7th!

We just got some amazing pieces in from Dress to Kill including a coat that is fantastic.  As in past years we have only bought one because it is so special.  And by special we mean out of this world great!  Here is a picture:


If you wear black, gray and white (and do we really know anyone that doesn’t?) this is the coat for you! And it is nice and warm too.

We have sold a lot of our Rundholz but we do have some great styles left including this dress:

We do have more Dip and what we call “regular Rundholz” coming but we have all the black label we are going to get so if you haven’t seen it we do have some great pieces left.

Rachel Comey is here and we love her gorgeous sweaters and sweater coats.  They are very unusual and interesting.

This dress from Megan Park is simply beautiful.  Without the belt it looks almost dressy enough to wear to a formal affair especially with one of Ray’s shawls.

Comfy is here too and the fabric is so pretty!

We got our hats, scarves and gloves in from Ariane Lespire and they are so wonderful.  They are so stylish and they come in lots of styles and colors including green, pale pink, black, burgundy and gray. Here is their tulle hat.


And very soft fingerless gloves with a hole for your thumb.

This week’s fab pieces from Planet are the gabardine pant and top that we think is so perfect for so many events in DC, from work to evening.  From meetings to the Kennedy Center. The pants can be had in sizes 1-3 in both the wide shown below and the narrow pant.  Gabardine is a great fabric for our climate.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS if you have not done so for the Ray Harris trunk show.  He will be here on Friday, September 22 through SUNDAY September 24th!  Leave your partners at home to watch football on Sunday and join us for mimosas and gorgeous clothes. Ray did some black and white patchwork pieces that are very sophisticated and then these amazing pieces:

Also, if you have any Ray items that you need altered, bring them and he will take them back to London, alter them, and send them right back to you.  He does those first before any orders. As usual I cannot wait to have him in the store as he is just the best person ever AND he stages the store so beautifully that we don’t touch it for a month afterwards.

Please invite guests and RSVP for Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th when we welcome Jane Campbell, the first and only female Mayor of Cleveland on Wednesday, September 27th at 6:00.  Dinner is going to be all Cleveland surprises and the dessert is amazing. Jane came to DC to be the Chief of Staff for Senator Landrieu and stayed. She is Director of the National Development Council and President of Women Impacting Public Policy, (WIPP).If you know anyone from Cleveland invite them!  We still have plenty of room so bring friends. It is going to be a really fun night!

We still have some sale pieces left so until next week when we get more shipments we will leave it up!

Hope you had a good holiday weekend and hope to see you soon!

Our best to our customers in Houston and to our friends, family and designers in Florida we are praying you will all be okay and safe.
