trunk show coming to the bay area...

today i spent the afternoon with my good friend adena...going over inventory for our upcoming accessories trunk show...can i just say...what a fun afternoon...i mean what can be better then working with beautiful baubles, handbags & scarves...and thinking about how to set it all up...oh and then admiring all the intricate work of each designer...

so for all you bay area peeps...keep next week open...thursday thru saturday...for more updates...feel free to like us on savvy chic boutique...we will definitely be posting lots of pics and descriptions of what will be featured at this trunk show...

but for a sneak peak intro...we have gerard yosca...rachel reinhardt...alexis bittar...and about 23 other designers...more info to follow...stay tuned...

cuff it...

that's right...whether on one arm...or both...one of the best arm candy around...and although cuffs have been a statement piece for a while...they are still showing up in fashion magazines...and on the runway...

personally...i love them...however...i have very small wrists...so they tend to be a challenge for me...to find the right one...i have to be careful with the bulkiness of it...and the fit...many...are just to big...and not easily adjustable...

but i keep looking...

and i have to say...great assortment out lately...whether you are strictly a metallics wearer...or opt for color...you are sure to find one or two key pieces that can add some punch to your outfits...

here are some of my favorites...i usually look for unique detail & texture...and perhaps...a pop of color...how about you?

birthday surprise...

so one of the great things about being owner of "the savvy chic event" boutique...is that i get to see all the inventory when it first comes in...and one of the bad things about being owner of "the savvy chic event"...is that i get to see all the inventory when it first comes in...that being said...there is only so much i can dream about keeping for myself...i mean...the idea is to "sell" the items...not keep them for myself...

so for our first event...i have to say...we had an incredible shipment of jewelry...some alexis bittar...kenneth jay lane...just baubles extraordinaire...and i of course...was in heaven...trying everything on...imagining it with my wardrobe...blah blah blah...but there was one pair of earrings that really caught my eye...and i told myself...that if no one bought them...then i would know they were meant for me...

well the show ended...and they didn't sell...but i knew we would have some of this jewelry for our next event...so i decided to hold off in purchasing them for myself...adena (my business partner & fabulous friend) & i packed away the jewelry...still oohing over all the pieces...

meanwhile...during this whole time period...what do i spot in the november issue of lucky magazine? my earrings! well...mine in my head... =) now i really knew that i would need to be the proud owner of those gorgeous earrings...the caption in the spread was "vintage 20's-inspired glitz that channels a luxe, insanely feminine era"...uh...yeah...say no more...they are mine...can you guess which ones were mine from the scanned pic below?

so...besides adena being my business partner & fabulous friend...we share the same birthday...yep...we do...so today we exchanged birthday gifts...one day early...and yes...when i opened up my little box...i squealed with delight...she told me that while we were packing...when i looked away...she grabbed them and stuck them in her pocket...sneaky little thing... =)

i think mine are much prettier then the ones in the lucky spread...those were in black...mine have a touch of my favorite color...green...aren't they divine?

by the way...if you want to save me from myself...the next "savvy chic event" is coming up december 3 - 12 in the lovely san francisco bay area...i promise...there will be lots of treasures...lots of new designers...stay tuned for updates...

here is adena & i celebrating our same day birthday with our pomegranate martini's...which we have every year on our birthday...kind of like our tradition...although we have them for other occasions as well... =)

you had me at hello: iced wonder...

as you probably know...we are still enjoying "the savvy chic event" this week...winding down on wednesday...if you have a chance...i highly recommend a visit...there are some fabulous pieces in the boutique...

for example...this lovely item by alexis bittar...you guessed it...it definately had me at hello...although adena (my business partner & friend) calls it "adena's necklace" a bit presumptuous of her...don't you think? although i have to say...it does look smashing on her...
