Meet our newest client….

The 2 Bandits! Owners Erica Chan and Tamar Wider have actually created a new accessory! They’re bands that you can put on any pair of boots, that totally transform them. Perfect in this economy, right? Instead of a new pair of boots, buy a few pairs of these… {You may have seen them last week on Daily Candy!}

This weekend…

was the first rain of the season in the SF Bay Area…I think the last rain we saw was in May?! It’s okay though- perfect excuse for buying these gorgeous aqua blue wellies {exclusively made by Hunter for British store Fortnum & Mason} and getting a roaring fire going in the fireplace!


Happy Halloween!

Love for the twenties

Every year, I wait until the very last minute to throw a Halloween costume together, but not this time! I’ve decided to dress as a flapper and now all I need is the perfect black wig to finish off my look.

Peek…

We are thrilled to announce a new addition to the Ruby Press roster- Peek…Aren’t You Curious!

Brainchild of ex-VP’s from Lucky Brand and Gap, Peek…Aren’t You Curious is a new baby and children’s store (five in the western part of the country- to start!) that is so chic and kid-friendly, that both parents and kids will love to shop there. In fact, I don’t even have kids and I’m trying to squeeze myself into the largest girls’ size! {Seriously. I am not joking.}

They have created six different lines for boys and girls, from infant through size 10, that are sold on their website and also in top stores across the country like Barney’s. {Below is a taste of the Fleur des Champs collection.} Of course, their collections are sold in the Peek…Aren’t You Curious stores- alongside a well-edited assortment of other fashion favorites like Wellies, Converse, chic letterpress notecards, and gorgeous children’s books- some of which are from my childhood!

A Match Made in Retail Heaven

I must admit that I have spent my share of time waiting in line outside H&M in Union Square for the launch of both the Viktor & Rolf and Roberto Cavalli collections. Although I own amazing pieces from both, I think the Comme des Garcons collaboration with H&M is the best yet. I am excited to check it out November 13th!

A look from the Fall '08 collection

Lets hope the H&M line is just as fun as this look from the Comme des Garcons Fall '08 collection!
