Here I am at W Magazine with Ereka Dunn and Carrie Goldberg of D2 Publicity during day 2 of my New York press appointments…We had a Simon Doonan sighting moments after this photo was taken.

I love New York.

I am always a bit sad to say goodbye to the lazy days of summer…not that my days are particularly lazy but it harkens back to childhood when days were so long and filled with fun and friendship. Summer brings with it that warm feeling that always makes me happy…..Don’t forget to soak up every last minute of your summer!

Here are glimpses from the sweetest season.

I don’t know about you but I was crazy about CP Shades in the 90’s.

My girlfriend Amy managed their store in Boulder where I went to college and I remember raiding her closet for their much loved loose fitting silk and washed velvet pants and vests. We were all smitten and knew that Amy had the coolest job on the planet. Time went by and I lost touch with the brand, styles changed and I found other designers that tickled my fancy.

Fast forward life twenty years, we have our new store and I am looking for special pieces to share with our new friends that pop in regularly in search of something unique.

I took this photo with a very different vision in mind but the photo came out like the strokes of an impressionistic painting…..

Can anyone guess what and where this is?

I will be very impressed if anyone gets this one…..it’s a tough one but there is a little goodie in it for the first person that solves the mystery.

We had a playful day at our design studio on Friday shooting our fall campaign with lovely model Amanda and an amazing team including fab photographer, Stephanie Rausser.

It was all about the jewels as we mixed to the max slinky long strands of mixed metals and pyrite, armfuls of multi colored bangles and big bold statement rings to match…..

Here are a few quick snaps from the shoot–more to come.
