Fall colors <3 What beautiful collections we have received this season! We love mixing it all together. Above are pieces by Runaway Bicycle, Bunon, Eleph and Extreme Cashmere. The burgundies, browns and navy blues mix beautifully together from all these different collections. You can see all these individual pieces in our wardrobe section.
Beautiful new pieces have arrived from Ound <3 This fall, designer Paula Delgado introduces superfine merino rib knits - we fell in love because the simplicity and versatility really speak to us. We have available a turtleneck, a crewneck and leggings. We can never resist a great turtleneck - and we love this one because the height of the neckline is perfect - it goes right up to the face line. You can fold it down if you prefer, but we love it standing straight up, framing your face. The crewneck is a great classic also. And the leggings - simply beautiful. These are great for layering or wearing any way you like. The weight of these pieces is a medium weight - they're warm and super soft. We love how Merino almost feels like cotton, only it breaths better and wicks away moisture more efficiently. Every piece is available in the two colors shown above - cub and cream. There is also a gorgeous handknit pullover in a cream alpaca/merino mix. Ound uses all undyed, untreated wools... staying very close to nature throughout the whole collection. The result is beautiful, timeless styles with an organic feel. These pieces are made in limited editions, with the hand closely involved in each piece.You can see it all now, along with some great new socks, in our wardrobe section <3
We hope you can join us at the shop, one week from today, to meet John Robshaw and see his beautiful fall bedding collection. We're so looking forward to welcoming John to Tucson for this event. It will be a fun celebratory afternoon! Refreshments will be served <3
We wanted to share a little bit of the history of Nicholson & Nicholson, a collection we love for its classic feel and beautiful, many times crisp textures. The founders are a husband and wife team - Yusuke and Yuka Nakagawa. Yusuke grew up with his father owning a men's shop specializing in British and other European brands. The name Nicholson & Nicholson was used for the first shirt he created as an original item for his father's shop. Further down the line, this name became the name of his small collection that he created with his wife Yuka. During the formative years of their collection, Yusuke studied art history in Florence, Italy, and was inspired by the timeless beauty that was passed down from generation to generation. He wanted to integrate this idea into contemporary styles. Yuka was working as a buyer and was deepening her knowledge of fabrics, patterns and sewing at an apparel trading company. Together with all this experience, their interest lies in connecting tradition with modernity, and it really is felt in their collection. You can mix these styles with other pieces easily... it has a great versatility.
We love the turtlenecks, there is something about the way a turtleneck classically frames the face. The grey one in the first photo is timeless, easy, goes with everything. It also comes in a russet brown that is like a deep burgundy. Both look great with navy. N & N also makse the heavier navy turtleneck in the second photo with a split neck detail at the foldover. It's gorgeous. The white blouse with a ruffle neckline would be so fun to layer with a crewneck - the navy Biggie Pullover from Eleph would be a great match! And the pants that Jettie is wearing in the photo with this white blouse are stunning and fit beautifully. A shop favorite! The coat in the last photo is a wonderful piece with its vintage feel. We love the way Linda Wright styled this a few weeks back with jeans, a beautiful scarf and loafers... not to mention a beautiful bag from her shop (Crimson Cashmere).
It's all so fun - we are just loving all the fall collections we have received and will continue to share a bit more about the different designers <3
