Khaki, the hottest color of the season

Open your fashion magazines and what do you see- khaki! It combines so well with ink blues, denim or greys in a very sophisticated color palette. While many of us look rather washed out in khaki tops, try wearing it in skirts, pants, trenches or accessories.
New riki skirts just arrived in this wonderful neutral color.

Looks from the stores


We love the new arrivals from poles, a French line best known for their understated, luxurious knits.
Crop linen jacket, linen pant and silk top all by "Le Phare de la Baleine", one of our favorite French lines.

Early Spring

Spring is arriving here at riki with splashes of yellow, geranium, lilac and vibrant blues. I like to combine them with this spring's many shades of grey, from silver to slate. Add a touch of crisp white and you have a color palette that reads spring 2010.



This will be the year of the printed T. Yes, it's the 80s all over again. We see floral prints, all over prints, large scale face prints, embellishments on printed Ts...and lots of bling. Not to worry, we'll stay true to riki and will edit the collections well for you.







A utility jacket by Super Dry, a new company we started to carry at the store. It's urban, hip, designed in London and a very hot label.



There will be a Final Sale on all Winter Merchandise 60-75% off. Help us make some room for all of our new spring arrivals...



Last, not least, I just heard today that several of our spring shoes are stuck in customs. Let's hope they will be released soon.

November


Satin rouch dresses by Verrieres&Sako just arrived in time for the holidays. They are absolutely stunning and the fit, as always, is immaculate. Also available as a strapless black satin version.


Giulia Isolotto, our knitwear line, has been greatly successful with our customers. Made in Italy for riki in merino wool blends, the line is youthful yet clean-lined with a twist.



Ellington is a new line of leather purses we started to carry in our stores. Their leathers are of superior quality and are tanned using an environmentally friendly process. I particularly like their cross shoulder styles, which make great travel bags due to well thought out interior and zippered compartments.


New contour belts from riki in crocodile embossed Italian leather. They're also available in charcoal and black and make great gifts.
