Fresh Out of the Box

Stella Carakasi

Dear friends,

This is going to be a quick note because it's late. Please excuse my brevity and fragmented sentences. And some poor photos... I'm headed to Portland tomorrow for a short buying trip. Before I go, I would be remiss if I didn't show you this week's abundant and beautiful new arrivals...




1. A new line for Renee's: Alembika. (Al-em-be´-kuh) It's Israeli. A characteristic of the line: mixing prints. Colors: black, gray, red, white, khaki. Prints: bubble, stripe, mix. Pictured below.

details

Bubble cardigan with tank and stripe skirt


Mix tunic, would look good with stripe skirt above


Mix dress



2. Fly London black perforated suede wedge. Slip on. Comfy yet cute. Love.






3. Planet. Pink vent-back oxford shirt. Swoon! Tunic length. Other styles (some not pictured; please ask if interested): black and white stripe smock blouse 98 ctn/2 lycra; white "spa" laser-cut tank (softest cotton, long, uneven hem, great for layering, loose); white and black pencil stripe tee (softest cotton); v-neck rib bottom sweater in coral and cornflower blue.


Planet's yummy sweater in blue... How do they make it so flattering?

... and coral (not red like it looks here)

Vent back. Cool cut. Tunic length. Pink!

Oxford cloth! Photo = NO justice!

Planet has such delicious, soft cotton. They call it their "spa" collection.




4. Vitamin blouses. Gray herringbone with snap tape (another swoon!) and navy/white stripe (not pictured. It should be pictured; it's great).



Pic does NOT do this beautiful show piece justice!

detail with tag (!) Forgive the ugly white tag...


5. J Brand jeans. New! J Brand"legitimizes" Renee's. (I had to "apply" to bring you this line.  Ooooh, so exclusive... ) Contemporary line (read: young). High rise, dark wash, skinny fit.




6. Stella Carakasi (not pictured; should be, but arrived too late. If interested, please ask. I will feature it here soon). Fabrics include organic cotton, linen, hemp, tencel and modal. Berkeley, California-based.

7. Majestic tees. Luxurious layering tops. French. Leaning toward contemporary (again, younger) fit. Only one ugly picture below, but we received beautiful tops from them. Believe me.


This is my personal fav layering tank. I wear it almost every day.


8. More dresses. Pictured.

Pretty cerulean (Google it!) blue color.

Navy blue

The always-flattering wrap style

9. Alashan 95 cotton 5 cashmere cardigan sweaters. Restocking our supply. Best sellers. Love. The best quality/price ratio. Colors: sky blue, cruise blue (royal), ash gray (light gray), white, midnight navy, lavender ice, Paris rose (coral), blue jeans. Unfortunately, not pictured. :(

10. FDJ French Dressing traditional jeans. High rise, dark wash, no fading, even coloring, straight leg (not skinny). 

FDJ. For the opposite customer of J Brand jeans (#5 above)


11. Prairie Cotton and Necessitees. Great cotton tops. Work-horses for your wardrobe. Great way to get colors in your wardrobe. Inexpensive, but good quality. Colors include black, white, salmon, punch red, smoke, wasabi, aqua, cobalt and more.

Necessitees lace cami

Necessitees knit top


Marlene and I have been opening boxes like mad this week. All the new arrivals are on hangers for you to see, but they are not displayed (merchandised) all pretty yet. Soon.

You, my beloved readers, now get the scoop. (It pays to read all the way to the bottom.) Ready? All the sale items are now marked 70% off. Unbelievable deals to be had. At these prices, the stuff's gonna be GONE quick. Public announcement goes out next week...

That's it, my friends. Gotta get home and catch a few winks before I head out at 5 am (just a few hours away). Have a great weekend, and see you soon!

With love,

Renee

Back from the Big Apple, Fashion Week in New York

I was inspired while shopping for you in New York City this week! I came home feeling energized and excited more than ever about the clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories finds. I can hardly wait until you can see them, too!




It’s a given that Renee's provides classic, quality apparel. On the other hand I like to introduce you to new and innovative items that you haven’t seen anywhere else. After all, a boutique is all about unexpected finds and beautiful surprises in a collection of clothing you love to wear.






So what were some of the highlights? Jewelry artist Amy Leiner, whose original designs are earthy yet colorful, describes her jewelry as "a unique blend of color, balance, texture and style." Her pieces will top off an understated outfit perfectly. In recent years, Amy was invited to sponsor such events as the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Emmy Awards.




I couldn’t pass up the cool shoes and boots from Donald Pliner and Aquatalia (new!).
Ian Mosh’s collection from the Basque Country in Spain was also spectacular.





Of course Annette Gortz, the German designer is always a delight. Her ever beautiful and avant-garde clothing is the best.

I found a new German handbag line called Liebeskind, which I loved! I also ordered special pieces from Louben, Sympli, Vanilia, Planet and Fabrizio Gianni.



It was my pleasure to search through thousands of lines for the perfect outfit, shoes and accessories for you in New York. I just know you are going to love it, too! Thank you for allowing me to shop for you in New York City, the most exciting fashion city in the world! Stop in soon to see the many new and colorful spring arrivals.
