Atelier at Robindira Unsworth just received a new shipment of the most easy and luxe travel separates by Roam Clothing in the softest Japanese organic cotton. We are loving their reversible cardigans, long tees and skirts in the super-chic combo of oatmeal and pale blue pin stripe.

I can just visualize sitting at a Parisian cafe with a gorgeous steaming cafe au lait and a baguette with fresh fruit preserves in my little swing skirt and shawl-collared cardigan.

Now I just need a reason to plan a trip across the pond……

Here are a few pictures of some of the gorgeous new pieces that just arrived.

Come visit us to see the new goodies in person!

Here she is……our peaceful little spirit waiting patiently to enter the world this October.

What an amazing time this is, each day truly feels like a small miracle for me.

We are in the midst of absolute jeweled craziness in our studio, finishing our holiday collection, getting samples ready for La Market, then sample production and packing up for The New York Gift Fair……

I feel her twist and turn…..flipping and somersaulting, attempting her first of life’s many leaps and bounds. It forces me to stop and take a breath, to think about where we all began our own journey…..how incredible to think that we all entered the world in the same way and from that moment on, the many different paths we all take.

I wish for her a life rich with so many delicious wonders….friendship, deepest love, passion, creativity, adventure…..I can’t wait to meet this little being that Robbie and I will nurture and share our dreams with…..this little being that we will guide to fulfill her own dreams, whatever they may be.

Dream away little girl….soon you will be here.

We had a very special budding jewelry designer join us at our studio today for a visit and to work her magic…..

Here are a few photos of Colette creating her very own masterpiece.

Is such cuteness even legal?

I am thrilled to announce the launch of our new aromatic candle line!

I have always been been captivated by fragrances that enhance a mood and conjure up images of far away places so when I dreamed of creating our own fragrance line I first took places of inspiration and paired them with notes that reflected their essence and embarked upon the process of fragrance blending utilizing my favorite essential oils and notes—-it was an amazing journey and we are so pleased with our finished creations. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Our three new sumptuous soy-blend candles take their monikers after their places of inspiration…. Marrakech is full bodied fruit with luscious pomegranate, red currant and a splash of blood orange, Capri is infused with soft white flowers, hyacinth and ylang ylang, and Ibiza is a clean, Zen scent with notes of jasmine and neroli.

Robindira Unsworth Bougie Aromatique is now available online at the Robindira Unsworth Web Boutique, at our Atelier in Sonoma County, and at a growing list of select retailers throughout the United States.

We’ve just returned from a leisurely week roaming the beaches in Mexico’s Yucatan Penninsula (near Tulum) where we went in search of a little respite and rustic beauty.

Robbie and I wandered through the nearby Mayan ruins in Tulum, climbed the pyramid of Coba, and searched for shells and bits of coral that had washed up on the soft sandy beaches to arrange as our dinner centerpiece every night. We cooked simple feasts and swam in the crystal clear waters (the temperature of your most soothing bath) and lounged in our palm tree shaded hammocks reading volume after volume….such a wonderful simple indulgence to not have to put down your book!

We waited for the arrival of the sea turtles, who are currently laying their eggs along the shores of where we were staying but we must have just missed them. We witnessed their magic a couple of years ago on another Tulum adventure and what an extraordinary sight it was…..it will keep us returning to this spot for many years to come.

I brought back a handful of beach treasures that I am currently playing with for inspiration……they may make an appearance in my Spring 2011 collection… so stay tuned!
