Fall

It certainly is hot here in California, but fall has arrived at riki.

All of our French lines have sent their first shipments and we are selling through faster than anticipated, especially the IKKS pieces in metallic coated fabrics.

Fillmore jackets and coats just arrived this Friday. I particularly like the tweed belted jacket vest with its distinctly wider shoulder cut and fitted waist, somewhat reminiscent of the 80s. Very stylish when paired with narrow, fitted bottoms.



To all of you that participated in the trunk show for Sydney Turnshek, thanks so much for coming. For everybody else that couldn't make it, stop by and see her selection of felted wool hats, caps, cloches and headbands on display on one of her beautiful hat stands in our Berkeley store.


Our riki belts in fall colors will be in our stores by next week, promise. I know many of you have been asking for them. I also added some crocodile embossed cowhide leathers in our smaller contour belt, I really like it, hope you do, too.



It has been a pleasure to get to know and work with many of our Bay Area customers on my Wednesdays in Berkeley, great fun!

Linen Jacket

Our long blazer style stretch linen jacket by Fillmore has arrived!

I find this to be one of the most versatile pieces of the season for a polished, urban look.

Styled with fitted jeans, pleated silk blouse and leather ADA bag for a casual, hip urban look. I like the color combination of tobacco and teal blue for a transitional early fall look, whereas when combined with crisp white it certainly reads summer.

Same jacket, different color!

Soft tan/grey, cream stitching detailing on lapel, pocket and sleeve. I think it looks fantastic with black, pants, or skirts (slim or full), a simple top, belt, a gladiator heel and you will be ready to go from office to dinner. And for those chilly Bay Area evenings, a soft pashmina for your neck - we have them in beautiful summer shades. Enjoy!

Halloween at riki

Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays. Here in Davis it tends to get pretty crazy with thousands of little (or not so little) trick-or-treaters coming by for our yearly downtown event put on by the Downtown Davis Business Association.

For the occasion we decided to pair some great orange pieces, a Fillmore short trench, and Karoo cashmere sweater with black skirts and pants and wraps from IKKS, France.

Happy Halloween!

Delicious Hues

I’m somewhat obsessed with color this season, in particular with marigold, orange and plum tones and I can tell many of you must be, too. It all looks so fresh when paired with every grey tone (and there are certainly many of them this season), black and dark chocolate brown. As one of my favorite customers said to me the other day, “it looks delicious in here.”

Our new fall collections are arriving, beautiful pieces from Cotelac, France, urban looks from IKKS, France, the best coats and jackets from Fillmore and as always skirts, dresses and beautiful jackets in Italian fabrics from riki.

Hope to see you soon!
