Thundering Thursday...

I can FEEL the start of Spring peeking its way into our weather and our wardrobe. Perfect example is this woman's combination of a Virginia Johnson scarf , Kate Spade bag with a poppy illustration by Hugo Guinness and an Orla Kiely green wallet.

My first conversation was with Keri from L.A. We just hit it off right away. She was looking for a gift for a family friend living in Thailand. The color and texture of her scarf matched her curly hair.

This guy had style! I love the cantaloupe color of his tie with the hint of a baby blue thin stripe which matched his shirt underneath. A camel color corduroy textured vest combined with a weathered leather coat and his shoes completed the look.

I was catching up with Lisa, a buyer, when she turned around to look at some clothing and I the back of her jacket! Wow! I loved how the designer "poufed" the edges. So cool! Her necklace had such a wonderful and organic feel to it.

The woman on the left bought Jeanine Payer's "Willie" necklace with a seagull photo which was a limited edition for Valentine's Day. The quote is "The spirit is the true self" - Cicero. It looked beautiful layered with her other necklace which has her father's ring, a heart and a textured round pendant.

The "Jolene" necklace was worn out of the store by a repeat customer who works across the street from us. She's been admiring Jeanine Payer jewelry since she brought in her sister last Fall. We both decided that the "Jolene" looked the best with her other necklaces that she wears daily.

There's something about woman's outfit that I liked. What first caught my eye was her striped shoelaces with her converse sneakers. Then it was her hat, the style of her coat with her large patent leather bag.

*

Hair styles can really make an outfit. This woman's bob-style haircut w/bangs, her textured (I use this word alot) coat and heels with a hint of red leggings captured a comfortable style as she sits crouched in front of our bird tiles.

There's me on the right posing with Allison, a stylist with J.Crew. She, and her friend Chloe, were walking by Cursive when I heard her whisper something to her friend. When I asked if they needed any help, Allison, said she recognized my sweater and shirt and thought how fun it would be to show this outfit worn by a "real" person to a designer at J.Crew. We hit it off and so I took this photo and will send it to Allison so that she can show it to her designer friend.
