It's Here - Our Biggest Sale of the Year

It's the (second) Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We all love the fun and festive days of Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years, but let's be honest. . .there's nothing we love more than a great end-of-season sale. Come by ASAP for the best selection of our winter and holiday collections (including jewelry), marked down up to 75% off*. We still have loads of great items from your winter-time favorites including Add Down, Inhabit, Epice and White + Warren.

Christmas Wish | A New Chan Luu Wrap Bracelet

In these shortest days of the year, I'm drawn to the moody, dark tones in these new bracelets from Ms. Luu. Wrap your wrist with semi-precious stones and a hint of sparkle (priced $148 - $220).

Silk + Chunky Jewelry = Holiday Dressing Made Easy

There's something about the Holiday Season that makes us crave silk tops - and lets us get away with something a little more glam, and a little more sexy than usual. Take this Geren Ford split shoulder top for example ($197). Pair it with this Gerard Yosca necklace ($205) and a slim pant or high-waisted skirt and you'll be out the door to the next party on the list.

Christina Lehr | Out of the Box

For any of us lucky enough to get away someplace warm this winter, we're pleased to offer a new collection of day wear from Christina Lehr. Known for her attention to detail and superb fit, Christina's pieces are all crafted in Belgium out of fine cotton.



Blazer, $175 in navy. Tank, $62 in white.



Henley, $74 in white. Tie-dye Dress, $118 in navy/ocean.



Stripe tank, $74 in black & white. Elbow T, $65 in ocean.

Lulu Designs | Out of the Box

Designer Stacy King's jewelry is designed around the stones and come about organically as the piece is being made. The stacking technique employed in her earrings is quite unique, and her necklaces look great alone or layered.



Pyrite and Citrine earring, $64



Garnet and pink amethyst earring, $48



Labradorite earring, $88



Moonstone necklace (adjustable: 15"-16"), $280



Pearl necklace (adjustable: 20"-22"), $210

YARNS Scarves | Out of the Box

New-York based scarf designers Yarns have the most fun and playful prints I've ever seen. Why make a normal leopard print scarf when you can make a turquoise, navy, and fuchsia leopard print? Why make a plaid when you can make a plaid with floral accents? Fun, levity, playfulness...I like that in a scarf, and in my state of mind!

All 100% cashmere, $177, and measure 80"x36". See our website for more details.

Lafco Candles

As the days get shorter, we find ourselves spending more time indoors. We're welcoming the return of cozy nights at home with Lafco candles in intoxicating, clean scents. Each of our six scents represents a different room...and each is in a beautiful hand-blown vessel you can keep to use as a vase or container. Clean-burning soy, the candles have a 90 hour burn time and cost $56.

Fall Trend | Cropped Sweaters

Brian Reyes // Rag & Bone

Believe it or not, cropped sweaters popped up all over the runways for the FW '10 season. So the question is, how do you wear a cropped sweater and not end up looking like a flash back from the '90s? The short answer: layer. With a long button down or tank poking out underneath or a longer jacket thrown over, the cropped sweater adds an instant update to pieces you may already have in your wardrobe.



From our Fall collection, Inhabit Wide-Rib Sweater // Theory Striped Sweater

Browse our selections from Inhabit, Nicole Farhi, Malene Birger, Epice, and Olivia Harris.

A Photoshoot's Footprint

Sneakers, heels, wedges, boots, and ballet flats...all took a turn in our fall photoshoot. Clothing and accessories from our fall collection is coming to the website soon.

Wrap Star

One of the big looks this Fall is the long wrap sweater layered over more sweaters, scarves, knits, silk, sequins...you get the idea. It's the "more the merrier" approach to layering. Shown here: runway looks from Yigal Azroeul, Etro & Missoni.



Here's my take on the look which I am calling British Countryside Chic. Jarbo Alpaca sweater coat, $310; Inhabit cashmere turtleneck, $289; Nicole Farhi brushed twill pant, $235; Epice scarf, $198; Nicole Farhi pin, $90.

Casting Call! | Magaschoni Camel Dress

I have not yet seen the new Tilda Swinton movie, I Am Love. But I have been perusing the web for photos of her much talked about wardrobe from Jil Sander and Fendi. A lot of what I'm seeing is reminding me of our new shift from Magaschoni (in one of this season's top colors)...I am loving this dress.

Kinross Cashmere | Buy Now Love Forever

We're welcoming the return of Fall with luxurious modern classics from Kinross. The collection includes a rich pallet of moss, green, blue, and ivory. All pieces are crafted with adherence to 200 year-old Scottish tradition for the finest quality in cashmere. Kinross sweaters withstand the test of time in both wear and style.

Ribbed Circle Sweater, $329.
