  • Spring is REALLY here!

    The blossoms are at full peak: it must be spring!  They are really gorgeous.  No matter how many times I see them they always look amazing.  Not that I walked all the way down there this time but I saw them driving by.  Isn’t that how you do it when you have lived here so…

  • Fashion! Shows! And a Gala!

    (This was written last night before we woke up to this terrible news from Belgium.  It reiterates that this is a very serious world and we need very serious people to lead us.  As we think about the people that are affected by today’s bombings, be careful out there.)   As much as we have…

  • I’m all for aging gracefully BUT. . .

    I also think you should fight it as much as possible AND wear lipstick! Many times I have mentioned that I go to dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Berzin every year or so to have her check out my face to keep it as wrinkle free as possible for as long as possible.  (And give me cheek bones…

  • Kedem Sasson and Niche Trunk Show Friday and a zillion other things!

    I feel as if I have not written about a zillion things (and by a zillion I mean four or five) that have been going on because of all the shows etc. But before I tell you the zillion things, this Friday is the Kedem Sasson and Niche show. It starts at 11 and goes to 6:30. If you can’t get here during the…

  • Oscar Fashion 2016

    Buckle up people, it is going to be a bumpy ride. I don’t even know where to start because while some outlets (notice I am now comparing myself to the NYTimes and other media outlets) have given the 2016 Academy Award show raves, I literally fell asleep. That has never happened even when I was…

  • Oscar wrap up is on the way!

    Don’t worry, I am working on the Oscar fashion review but it takes a little while to upload all the pictures so by tomorrow or Wednesday I promise to send it out.  I just wonder what all of you thought of the telecast because I have to say that not only did I think it was the worst show…

  • RAY HARRIS IS HERE!

    Today is the day!  RAY HARRIS is HERE starting at one until the last customer, plus all day Friday from 11-7 and Saturday from 12-5.  Below is just a tiny sample of how amazing his cotton, pin and tulle jackets are. He probably has the best collection he has ever done.  I know I say that every time, but…

  • What’s in Upstairs on 7th TODAY!

    Here is what we have in the store as of this very minute: lots of great sweaters from Planet including the horseshoe cardy that is no longer on the line shown here. I know I included it last week but I love it. If you want a great white or black sweater this summer this…

  • Anarkh is coming on Friday and other world news!

    I just saw some of the pictures from Anarkh’s new collection for fall and these girls have outdone themselves. It is really really beautiful so I hope that you will all be able to come this Friday, February 12th from 11- 6 to see these really special pieces.  Ana and Cee will be here so you can…

  • It’s raining clothes! And handbags and jewelry!

    Every day is like Christmas around here because we are getting in the best spring clothes.  Ivan Grundahl came in and his fabulous hand knit sweater is here in the most beautiful vanilla color.  It is heavy so you can wear it like a jacket or NOW under a coat if you are like me…
