Monday, September 20th, 2010

Here are a couple of new labels that we are carrying.


Erin Brinie’s fall collection is beautiful and unique. How are you liking this Amelia Earhart look?


Krisa label by Los Angeles designer Krisabelle Ann Tan. Every piece is incredibly soft and comfortable, casual yet chic.

This is obviously just a tiny sample of what we have…so much more in store, equally fabulous!

New Arrival: Cookie Johnson Jeans

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

We recently started carrying Cookie Johnson Jeans and we’ve been so pleased with the reaction from our clients. She has trully developed a denim line for all body shapes, using European fabric with a lot of stretch and a silk waistband for extra comfort. Oprah describes them as: “The perfect jeans for real women with real booties”. Sizes range from 24 to 38 (or size 2 – 18).

We recommend trying on a pair. They are unbelievably flattering!

Here’s an interview with Cookie Johnson and CEO Michael Glasser sharing their inspiration behind the line.
