Fall Pieces by Neen

We just received our new fall shipments from France we had so been waiting for. There are some absolutely fabulous pieces from Neen, such as this heavier gauge knit top. What a back! It looks so refined that it can easily be worn as an evening top over a satin skirt or trouser pant, or over a lightweight long sleeve layering piece for a more polished day look. Either way it will be a showstopper!

There are also chunky cable knit cardigans in sophisticated grey tones, a long merino wool knit coat as well as fine gauge knit dresses in muted purple hues and black. These are very special pieces, refined in their detailing and construction and impeccable in fit, I absolutely love them!

Summer Dress

Fresh from Spain, our summer dress from Sita Murt. Luxuriously soft cotton knit combined with a shirred cotton overlay, beautifully done! It looks fresh and crisp when worn with our white soft cotton cardigan by NEEN of France. To make it pop, just add a little red shoe ( check our last blog entry) and you will be ready for work, lunch and dinner.

If you happen to travel to Spain this summer go check out the new Sita Murt store in Barcelona!

Riki in Paris

Lunch on Rue du Bac

It’s a beautiful fall day, crisp but sunny. We walked along the river Seine from our apartment in the 7eme to Dehillerin, the best place in Paris to buy top quality knives and other cookware. Stopped on the way on Rue du Bac for lunch “au terrace” (al fresco), where I was both stylish AND cozy warm in my black double-breasted sweater coat from Riki. Fashion flash: A trendy boutique on Rue du Bac had a window display featuring a tweed swing jacket that’s almost an exact replica of the one I brought with me from Riki fall 2006. Do we like being “fashion forward” in Paris? Mais, oui!
