Ok, so I must admit that I had a warm, fuzzy feeling when I was thumbing through InStyle magazine’s fall 2009 special issue and several of the pages featured accessories that we have coming in for fall…such as the ornate cuffs shown above. When we are in market, we scour the city looking for the best of the best for our customers. Then when you get validation by a national magazine that you did indeed select the hottest items of the season – it just feels good!

It’s time for us to head back to New York for market! I can’t wait! It’s hard to believe we’re going to be looking at Spring 2010 already when we are just receiving Fall 2009 in the store. Deb and Kati R will be there next week and I will be there the following week with Judy S and Patrick. I promise to send some tweets from Twitter while we’re there! You can follow us on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/LeighsFashions if you want to stay posted! Also, always an open invite….if there are certain lines that you love that we don’t carry at the store, let us know….we’d love to check them out!


We’re having a baby!!! Oh, I mean Carol S. is having a baby. Our mama-to-be wanted everyone to know, yes, she is pregnant and not just on a summer food binge! She is due February 5. There is speculation on the floor that she’s having a boy because the only name she and her husband can come up with is the boy’s name Liam (this is a very scientific conclusion). We are all looking forward to having a new baby in the Leigh’s family. I hope this baby is ready for a bunch of doting self proclaimed aunties…and uncle!

Oh, it was so exciting to open the box! It was like Christmas! Fabulous new Pono to share with our customers! This super cool jewelry line has always been a hot seller for us. If you’re not familiar with the line, I pulled some information from Pono’s Facebook page to get you up to date:
The PONO jewelry collection is designed by Joan in Italy and our product is handcrafted by true artisans who possess an exceptional attention for detail from concept to design. Joan’s inspiration for PONO comes from the creativity, technology, and the environmental commitment of the Italian factories she works with. Her designs for PONO thus reflect her life experiences: mixing the exotica of Hawaii, Italian sophistication, NYC urban chic, and a love of nature and the planet. These diverse lines of influence can be seen in PONO’s singular collection that blends together materials like horn, wood, shell, and amazing resin into remarkable accessories. It is in this way that PONO—which in Hawaii signifies a state of harmony or balance—truly lives up to its name.

I would like to introduce you to our new on-site Laura Mercier make-up artist, Emily Nurmikko. Emily is fabulous! She will be at our store 3 days a week, you can stop in or schedule an appointment to consult with her on your Laura Mercier cosmetic needs. I sat in her chair and had her do my make-up, wow, I was so impressed. Not only did she do amazing make-up on me, she also recommended a few new items that she thought would work well for me…. and she was right. I love the new products I got – they’re so great! Hope you can stop by to see her soon!
Ok, we have a Facebook page started and we need you to become a “fan”! We love Facebook because we can communicate instantly with you on great things that are happening in our store….new merchandise, events, sales, etc. But the only way to get the information out to you, is if you are a fan of Leighs. Here is the link to make it easy for you, just cut and paste it into your browser and add yourself to our fabulous fan base!

The trend that we saw in all areas of the market for fall was the legging. It was paired with tunics, oversized sweaters, jackets, t-shirts….anyway you like it, it was there! We love the legging and will have lots of options for you this fall….even a little leather! To get you started, we have brought in some light weight leggings for you to wear now – which we have pictured above with cute tanks from Alice + Olivia. Honestly, I can’t wait to get my leggings…I’m going to be comfy, cozy and fashionable the whole season long!
