Two Girls Working it in NYC






Jessica and I spent most of this week in NY at the Coterie show for spring 2009. In addition to living it up with our friends at Velvet, XCVI, Orla Kiely, and Johnny Was, we walked the floors at the shows and saw a lovely preview for spring. We know, we know, fall has just begun. And we (like you) are loving the fashions that are hitting our store now. But as we enjoy all the knits in purple, fuchsia and grey, we are also looking at the new trends for next season. We saw lots of subtle color and embellishment, say, a buttery yellow voile top with pale grey embroidery. Coral, poppy, and orange are other strong colors, as well as a continuation of the plums and violets we are seeing for fall. Many of you will be happy to hear that we reconnected with the denim line Level 99. We pulled in some fantastic lines as well, including Tee Party, Testament, and Hazel. And the great news in tops and dresses is that we are expanding our Sweet Pea collection to the entire store (we have had Sweet Pea maternity for a few seasons). For now, you all focus on the present...the crisp fall air, and the prospect of a cozy new sweater, and the perfect fall coat. We'll happily gaze into the future for you, and plan the pieces in your spring wardrobe.
