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

New Arrivals for Spring at Renee's

Hi There,

What's that you say? You are tired of the long gray days of winter? You need a sign of spring to get you through this month?

Well, besides noticing the crocuses peaking out of the ground, you can check out the new arrivals at Renee's to rest assured that spring is just around the corner.

Last week we received bling full length and cute capri jeans from a Seattle-based company called Zenim.



































Nic + Zoe showed up with my favorite feminine sweater for spring, which I call "pink fluff."




















They also produced beautiful sweaters and coats in rich coral colors, and light-weight pants for spring.




















Other bright colors have been arriving daily: kiwi greens, sky blues, daffodil yellows, cotton candy pinks, bright turquoises, and more.

Last week on my buying trip for Renee's I spied cute, inexpensive jewelry and lightweight colorful spring scarves. Fun and inspirational, these items are sure to get you through the rest of our winter.

While at market I also ordered: jeans from Silver, Zenim and Dish; cotton sweaters from Mermaid; knit tops from Prairie Cotton and Cut Loose; a new, wide selection of Hobo handbags; and bold print dresses from Elana Kattan.

Best of all, I am so excited about a new, cute Jammie line called Munki Munki! You will see why I am so excited when you take a look here.

As always, let me know if you are looking for particular brands, styles or fabrics. When you discover new finds on your journey, clue me in on those, too. You are always the best source of my buying inspiration!

I can assure you, spring is on the way! In the meantime, come in and take a sneak peak at spring inside Renee's!

Warmly,
Renee
