My good friend Summer is an expert seamstress. I recently asked her to recreate the Comme Des Garcons blanket coat from Fall 2009. I have been obsessed with the blanket coat for many years and have never seen one in real life. They sold out immediately and frankly, were out of my price range even at a discount on ebay. When I met Summer I knew that was the first thing I wanted. I used an old (about 5 years old) Banana Republic utility coat and a wool blanket from the Tibetan market in India. I know that this was a challenging project but Summer executed it perfectly. I love love love it!
Here is the Comme version on the runway –
AND mine –
I am also wearing my Hitchcock Madrona sterling and brown leather cuff. This is an original design that everyone must own! We are working on a post all about this classic piece and how we developed it (it wasn’t easy!). I layered my 18k gold skulls and cross bones necklace (he has diamond eyes!) with my lapis, bronze and sterling spike necklace by Pamela Love. As you can see, I am trying to grow my hair out – not cute!
The Toyota Tacoma behind me is the official Hitchcock Madrona-mobile. So glamorous. It is amazing that a jewelry store needs a pick up truck but, we do!
I am getting very excited for the Surplus trunk show on Thursday evening. Come toast one of our favorite artists!

Posted: February 19, 2013 Filed under: Iosselliani, MOSCOT, Shannon Koszyk, Uncategorized Leave a commentWhile I am on vacation in Santa Barbara (yeah!) with my family I wanted to post these fun photos that Dustin and I took with Harris a few weeks ago. This photo shoot was totally impromptu and lots of fun – how could it not be?! It all started with one photo of Harris in his new MOSCOT Tummel glasses. Aren’t they perfect?
Glasses by MOSCOT, wool blazer by Hitchcock Madrona, and necklaces by Shannon Koszyk. We have Shannon Koszyk’s spring collection in store now. The new collection infuses her coins, medals and antique heraldry with white and brass beads. They are light and easy to wear.
Harris is also featuring the Seventy Eight Percent Ipad Sleeve and silk pocket square by Hitchcock Madrona. Both items are perfect gifts for men.
Barbour Falcon Coat in Black
IOSSELLIANI Rhinestone collar. How amazing is this piece?! Possibly my favorite item in the store right now. I can’t wait to see who takes this baby home.
Solid cashmere scarf by Hitchcock Madrona.
When we started this photo shoot we asked “what will work for Harris in the store?”. When we ended the shoot we realized “what DOESN”T work for Harris!?”. Everything looked great!
I will be back in the store on Wednesday, February 27th. Until then, Morrow and Dustin will be open and ready to help!
XOXO

Hitchcock Madrona 1920’s Cocktail Ring

Black Onyx and Ruby Cocktail Ring by Hitchcock Madrona
I was wearing mine in New York City this week. The beautiful sales associate at Cartier (we just wanted some inspiration!) fell in love. What a compliment! She gave me her card and asked when and if she could purchase one. Of course, I can oblige.
These cocktail rings are based on a 1920’s design that we found in a vintage store about 5 years ago. I think they are so interesting/sinister/estate/complex/beautiful. Who could ask for more?! Treat yourself for your birthday (one is always coming, right?) and add this baby to your collection. It is a timeless piece that we are very proud to feature.

The talented duo behind this line have designed some seriously fun and dramatic pieces, but many are still very easy to integrate into your wardrobe. The perfect pieces to dress up jeans and a tee shirt – take a look:
I am completely enamored with this collar necklace below. I don’t think I have ever seen any jewelry piece in a store that is this fabulous. It is spectacular!
IOSSELIANI’s main line and Puro IOSSELIANI both feature vintage silhouettes in exciting and daring ways. Jewelry should be engaging and interesting!
We are back from NYC (barely) and gearing up for Valentine’s Day! Spring merchandise keeps rolling in. Today Dustin put out Michael Spirito and Pamela Love is being unpacked. Posts on those lines to come!
XOXO
