Theory “Balbina” Dress

 

The ultimate double-duty piece.  Looks incredibly polished with a great cardigan and pumps for work and awesome for evening with a little leather, tights, and booties.

Originally $315, now $157.50.

Mara Hoffman Tie-Front Cardigan

 

As always, Hoffman’s take on print is perfection.  This time, a black and white graphic takes this wear-everyday sweater up a couple notches.  Will look great tossed over everything in your closet.

Originally $398, now $199.

Botkier “James” Hobo

 

Warm gray leather and gunmetal hardware are a stunning combination of this Botkier creation.  Super soft and finished with pleat and zipper detailing.  Fantastic all-year and stands apart from the sea of black bags but is just as versatile.

Originally $595, now $297.50.

For those kindred spirits who, despite all their best intentions, still have a substantial list of gifts to purchase and less than a week to check them off, no need to fret. While I may not be full of inspired gift ideas for everyone on your “nice” list, working in retail has given me an edge on fail-safe options that our shoppers (and staff) have been coveting.

Some top contenders:

Chan Luu scarves


While the designer is known for her jewelry (especially her signature wrap bracelets), her scarves have proven to be a top-seller at dress. The cashmere and silk fabrication manages to be both tissue weight and cozy (perfect all-year here in SF) and are available in many colors and prints. Solids are $195, prints $245.

Marc by Marc Jacobs “Tate” totes

Easy, functional, and a staple in any woman’s bag wardrobe.  Medium size $188.

Julie Rofman bracelets

A great way to add a little pop of color and visual interest to any outfit. Perfect alone or layered for maximum impact.  $79 – $165.

Trina Turk cocktail rings

For the girl who loves a little bling.  $65 – $125

All items available at dress.

Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!

It’s a triple shame when I’m caught unprepared because I have the luxury of working in the business (read: daily access to shopping).  I promised myself to do things differently this year. An unexpected revelation? Choosing my looks earlier and tweaking them to perfection I found there were so many more styles, sizes and general inventory to choose from. Not spending way too much on that “purchased-the-day-before” dress that still needs altering (and isn’t even all that flattering) is just an added little bonus that allowed me to buy that new distressed leather Jalda clutch I had my eye on.

here are a few of my favorite options:

(and here’s my new clutch!)

See you soon : )

I’m finding it hard to choose a favorite. (I can send you a pic, if it’s easier) One style is more beautiful than the next, I’m betting you would LOVE (at least) one of the 6 styles we got in. ; )

They seem to have found the perfect red and they’re definitely masters at beading.

See you soon,

Elke
