Could it be any hotter today? NO! So that is why the remaining sale items including Lilith, Lunn, Kokomarina, Dress to Kill, Skif, Crea, Spirithouse, and Moyuru are all 40% off now. So are all the handbags which now makes them between $39-$75. Maybe get some and put them away for holiday giving at that price. There are some really good ones left too! And there is lots of Manouk, Angela Caputi and other jewelry on sale too. So much for Summer!
Now for FALL! Ray Harris has started shipping and the new washable bi-stretch jackets are here as is the new reversible (because it looks good with the seams showing) skirts, tops, dresses and coats in tartan dot fabric. It reminds me of the pieces that Alexander McQueen did which were fabulous. (The picture does not do the fabric justice.) There is also one crushed pleat dark gray jacket that is so beautiful and it would take anyone anywhere. As you know these pieces cost a little more but they are so worth it: washable, packable and gorgeous. I have just a FEW, if you can believe it, Comfy tees left. Just three white ones, about six of the other colors each. For those of you who have them and may want more, let me know as I can reorder them in late July when I go to NY to see Comfy and the new Manouk line. They only come in white, black, gray, and cocoa.
TOMORROW I am getting the only shipment of Blanque that I am getting for fall. I cannot remember the styles but there are three jackets and a pant, in black of course. The rest of the Comfy will be here next week and I am expecting Spirithouse and the rest of the Ray Harris (THOSE COATS!) in soon. Planet will be here at the end of the week and there are some gabardine pants in the order but you know I do not remember what else I ordered. It was ages ago.
There are new Jesse Walker necklaces in and there are still some aluminum and rubber pieces left from My Sister’s Art. Hint: if your rubber jewelry starts to get faded, put Canola oil on it and pat it dry with a paper towel and then lay it out so you do not go out and smell like a diner. It definitely works.
How gorgeous a couple are Kate and William? They must be happy to be home as they worked hard for the last 11 days. Just changing clothes that often made me tired but I think they were as Ray Harris always says: brilliant!! (I may be a little obsessed with them because when we came home on Saturday night I watched the live online feed of the BAFTA event.)
For those of you who are new to Upstairs on 7th I wanted to tell and also remind my customers who have been coming to the store for the last 4 years, that on December 1st I give out gift cards by email that start at $25 and go to $250. They are based on what you have spent from January on and also take into account referrals for those of you who have been so kind as to send or bring your friends to shop. They are only good in December and I am not going to mention names but some people did not use them last year. Some people that had $250! You know who you are! It is a great way to thank all of you for shopping here as I really do appreciate it.
If anyone cannot get here this week and you want to come on Saturday I can meet you any time after 12, just let me know what time. You can just email me. Or if it is last minute, call me and I will come in.
