Cache~Cachet

February 2nd, 2010

Owner, Rosemary Crites, has over 20 years of retail experience, specifically dealing in high-end women’s fashions.  Many of her clients, who spend good money on designer duds, had very few storage options to keep their luxury items looking new.  Sure, you can cedar, but it doesn’t hold it’s fragrance very long and who wants to smell like moth balls?  That’s when Rosemary came up with covertures!

Pono

January 26th, 2010

Founded a few years back by designer Joan Goodman, Pono is a unique collection of jewelry that gets it’s name from a dear friend of Joan’s whom she met while living in Hawaii.   Pono is equal parts vintage, modernism and nature.  The entire line is very earth conscious incorporating natural elements such as wood, shells and natural horn.

Pono has been featured on Gossip Girl, in countless magazines and seen adorning the wrists of many celebs such as Paris Hilton, Beyonce and Julianne Moore.

2009 Xmas Fashion Gift Guide

December 3rd, 2009

Tis’ the season to go shopping!!  One of my favorite pass times whether it be for myself or those closest to me.

As much as I love to shop though, you won’t find me anywhere near a mall come December.  I prefer to skip the lines, the fighting over parking spaces and the freezing weather, grab my laptop and my cozy slippers, kick back on the couch and get down to business!  Trust me, it makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable when there is no strange woman elbowing you passive agressively to get to the front of the line…

So for all the fashionistas on your list, I give you my holiday fashion gift guide for 2009 courtesy of Singer22.com!

KAiN Label Pocket Tank in 8 Colors

I’m a Kain label addict and your lucky recipient will surely become one too once she feels how silky soft these tops are (probably helps that they’re made with 10% silk!)  The newest addition to the line has some beautifully rich colors such as this one that would look great paired with a cropped blazer and jeans. 

 

KAiN Label Pocket Tank in 8 Colors – $78

DIY Leather Button Ring

June 24th, 2009

buttonring

Weekend project!  This is a great way to pass the time on a rainy Saturday, I did!  Super easy, very unique and comfy as all get out thanks to the leather.

What you’ll need:

  • Leather scrap
  • An old button
  • Needle and thread

Take the leather and cut it to your desired width.  Wrap it around your finger to determine length and cut accordingly, allowing a bit extra.  Overlap the ends about 1/2″ and place your button on top.  Simply sew the button onto the leather and voila! 

If you don’t have leather scraps or old buttons lying around, check out your local craft store.  They’ve got a ton of both!

Current Obsession Du Jour: The Jersey Necklace

June 1st, 2009

For some of you, this may conjure up terrifying images of dudes with mullets and chest hair, wearing their version of the Jersey necklace, a tarnished gold chain…..

Well allow me to introduce you to the new (not New) jersey necklace.

I’ve got three of these bad boys and counting.  These serve double duty as a necklace and scarf all in one.   Being a huge fan of the Spring/Summer scarf, this look is right up my alley!
