Coats, Trunk Shows and other world news at Upstairs on 7th!

Rundholz Dip and Black Label are here and you will love it.  He did mesh tees in black, green, red, navy, and gray to go with the multi color pieces that will be here soon, but they would go with anything and these colors are often hard to find in mesh tees that we can wear under sleeveless dresses and tops.  We have lots of good sweaters too including a shrug which no one makes better.  Always the perfect length.  We are getting two more shipments and we will send out a quick email to let you know the minute they get here because we know how much you love these fantastic lines. We should have our second one very soon.  And this Dip jacket should be in that shipment.  Love this. It looks so good with our matching red mesh turtleneck.
The Ray Harris trunk show is Thursday, September 19th, Friday, September 20th and Saturday, September 21st.  If you have not met him do yourself a favor and come over to meet the nicest man ever. He is nicer than he is talented and he is supremely talented.  Put these dates on your calendar!
We have all of our Ray Harris order for fall in already so that means his faux fur vests, coats, and jackets are here in both white and black and some of the styles are reversible to a very interesting pattern.  And who doesn’t need faux fur this minute?
He also did some lightweight foil coats and jackets that come with pouches to pack them for travel.  Foil is huge for this fall and you will see all kinds of clothes and handbags in gold, silver and copper. Light as a feather too but warm.
And speaking of coats, here is a fabulous Ganni coat in this beautiful green but don’t worry we have it in black as well.  It is very warm and it is a very good price at $475.

Isn’t it crazy that the designers ship coats first?  We sell more coats in July and August than we do in November and December!
Our SALE is still on through next week.  Don’t miss out on 50% off all of our lightweight summer dresses including this gorgeous one:
Don’t forget the Planet trunk show next week.  On the 15th and 16th Leslie will be here although we should have the sample line in the store by this Friday afternoon. The sweaters are so wonderful this season you will want to see them all.  The scuba pieces are really strong this season and come in gray, black and white. Here are a few of the styles in scuba.

There is also a pant so you don’t have to wear it with leggings if you want to wear these tops to work.  Or pair them with a skirt.
Ok, is it just that I have forgotten or have I never walked through the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden?  How is that even possible?  It is just fantastic and the sculpture is amazing.  Here are two of my favorite pieces:

Roy Lichtenstein’s House

Alexander Calder
If you have not walked through lately, you will really enjoy it.  Also I loved the exhibit The Evidence Room at the Hirshhorn.  Really interesting but watch the movie BEFORE you walk in instead of after.  Just saying.
Centrolina has opened a little pizza restaurant Piccolina across from their location at City Center.  It opened on Monday and it is already busy because the food is so good!
Hope you are having a good week.  Come in late afternoon for a glass of champagne any time.  We could all use it after this past weekend.
