Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun,

Wont you please shine down on me?! It has been so ho-hum gray! I was just checking out some "close to season" trends and this dress was an example for the maxi dress trend that lives on (a true love in my life). It is Roberto Cavalli 08, and I think it is just beautiful!! The yellow floral reminded me of sunnier days, so I thought I would share.

Spring in Feb.

February certainly doesn't feel like spring, but it is when we start shipping it to our stores. Seems sort of nuts, but on the other hand I think we're all sick of wool and down by then. Our shockingly white skin may say no, but our fashion sense says free us of layers! I'm looking around at our floor and Shannon has ripped off plastic of many of our FALL '09 samples to start sharing with magazines... I'm not going to share those with you at the moment, but I will share one of our first spring pieces to hit stores... And what we're still bebopping around the city to share with editors. Pre order available on the blake top soon : ).

DM Hearts Trinity.

we love our trinity girls (and boys)! Who so graciously have us back season after season for great trunk shows hosted at Ivy. We are back at it Wednesday from 11 to 3. All the girls are always so sweet to us, and we love chatting it up will they check out the steals we're offering ;). Can't wait for more pics like these. Thanks for hosting and helping girls!!

Our other stop today:

Wish I could get hair and makeup done too before our trip to 4 Times Square :).

Gifting.

Obviously we're all looking to cut back a little this Christmas, so I share this fabulous gift idea for many reasons... For starters I am way behind in this department. I haven't bought one gift yet. Second is these pads are so great -- I use the non-personalized version every day at home and in the office. I'm also so very proud and impressed with all the phenomenal (and of course well deserved) press L & H have gotten lately. This Domino shout out makes me smile too because that is my sister's name! Who ever thought Jennifer Ann Sall - NOLS instructor extraordinaire, based in Lander, WYO would get a Domino Mag shout out?! So for all these reasons, and the fact that I'm having dinner with the founder tomorrow night and we have an appt at Domino tomorrow day -- I thought Id let you all in on this great gift, at such a ridiculously low price!!

Tis the Season!!

This morning at the gym I listened to "All I want for Christmas is you" on my ipod. Twice. In a row. Put me in the best mood and made me so happy that the season is here. Can't wait to watch Love Actually, A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Can't wait for holiday parties, overcrowded stores, snow (please!!), advent calenders and mistletoe. We are off to DC!! Happy tree lighting New Yorkers!!

Holiday Shopping!

Wednesday Shannon and I are headed to our Nation's capital to join in a 2 day holiday Trunk Show at The Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland. If you live in the area please stop by! Part of the proceeds with benefit this great school for boys.
