 all work...

 From the Alabama Hills...Mt. Whitney

It may be June-gloom-ish along the central coast and here in Montecito but know that the sun is coming out to stay very soon.  What a great way to introduce our upbeat and fresh new colors from our CS Essential cotton sweater collection.  Photographed in the immense and intense Death Valley National Park, the contrast of color and texture is a cool tribute to how wonderfully versatile our wares can be.

Tips for Father's Day....keep it classic and simple.

Just enough sparkle to jazz up your step!

'tis the season

Another one is upon us and our windows speak the language.  It's number 16 under my tutelage and I'll be honest, it doesn't get any easier.  We've gone full throttle to get you into our cozy boutique this holiday season.  A big thank you for all the holiday decor on loan from fantasysettings.com.  Thank you so much!

Ever eccentric Montecito

So the other day I get a call from a very, I mean, VERY, good customer.  I thought they lived between Nyc, Sb, and France, but the call came across on a TX cell.  Why that even came into my mind I do not know.  I simply didn't recognize the caller when I picked up I guess.  Anyway, they wanted directions from Vegas to SB, the back way, via Pearblossom Hwy, 126, and so on.  They remembered that I had a pad in the former boomtown and used to drive quite often.  I ended up texting them simply because they were already en route in the new Maserati he won at craps.  The only one in the Usa.  Or was it a Bmw, can't remember? Next day they came by the shop to show it off, and to buy a matching Javits hat for her while the top is down. What's not to love about the eccentrics!

and then there are the fabulous ones!

Who come in, buy some luggage, some leathergoods, some cashmere, some cotton sweaters, a briefcase...all in ten minutes.  Transaction done, we will wrap for next day pickup and rent and insurance and then some are covered for another month.  Lovely!
