The girls often tease me at the beginning of a new season as I ooh and ahh over all the beautiful new pieces as they arrive. They tease me because I bought them, so obviously I like them. But truly, I forget, in the months that elapse from the moment of discovery to the actual arrival in their appropriate season, what I've ordered. So it really is like Christmas morning, opening boxes of cashmere and cotton, scarves and belts and hats... and rediscovering these splendid new friends.
Latest deliveries include unbelievable basics and better from Majestic. Majestic is one of those cult-like sleeper companies... They are vertically integrated, producing their sumptuous knits in a geothermally powered factory in France. And therefore can offer variety of fiber combinations unique to them: blends of cotton and cashmere, winter weight linen knits, and organic cottons. The textures are amazing. It's a brand which inspires a loyal following, and feels luxurious, even in a basic tee. This season's crop includes hand dyed long sleeve tees graduating in color from deep navy to black, charcoal grey leggings, plum and charcoal stripes, and a ton of simple straight ahead basics.
This week also brought a big box from local wonder Steven Alan. Lots of plaids, both bright and subtle, bold and simple. And a striped cashmere sweater that I will be dreaming about. And and and...
Dreamy leather bags from local new wunderkind Aki Kano, whose designs merit a post all their own. New Ember candles and more from our sensual fave: Jimmy Jane, and the pure luxury and pure color of Armand Diradourian's cashmere scarves.
