Ryan Roche

We are so excited to get in these incredibly beautiful cashmere knits from designer Ryan Roche.  The colors and the styles are the perfect complement to the new fall Erica Tanov collection.  Take a look at Ryan's blog to see the great write up she got in the NY Times last spring, as well as, more photos of the collection. Available at the NY store only.

Isabelle

We have had a very special visitor this past week.  Isabelle, Erica's 15 year old daughter, is here visiting NYC and we took her around to check out some of our favorite downtown spots.  Here she is at Cafe Gitane and at the High Line.  Other stops included Washington Square Park, the Tenement Museum, and Baby Cakes Bakery. Of course, after all of that walking we stopped for a pedicure, too.  Come again soon, Isabelle!

We Have The Best Customers! Featuring.....Kelly McCartney

ET:  Where do you live? KM: New Orleans ET: What do you do? KM: I teach high school...9th grade. I also do a bit of design consulting on the side. Most importantly, I am Mom to Finn, 20 months. ET:When did you start shopping at Erica Tanov? KM: 12 years ago, I was on my honeymoon, I met Jessica and we have been friends ever since! I was also lucky enough to visit her on several buying trips. Every time we visit New York, that is my first stop!!! ET: What do you like about shopping at Erica Tanov? KM: Jessica and Vivian, they are great!!!!!! They know what I like and what looks good on me!!! I think it is one of the most beautiful stores I have ever seen! I also like that the clothes are special and not found at a chain store or mall. ET:Do you have an all time favorite piece that you wear? KM: My favorite piece.....that is so hard...I love every piece! The clothes are so beautiful and feminine! I lost all of my clothes to Hurricane Katrina, so Jessica has really helped me build my wardrobe back better than ever! BUT to answer the question...I would have to say the Lillet drawstring dress. I have 3 of them! ET: What style(s) have you bought this season? KM: Lots of neutrals with a few pieces of color thrown in. I'm really into pale colors this season. This season I have bought from Erica Tanov the Gabriel dress in natural, Maude slip in pale pink petal silk, the Papillon shadow plaid top in ivory, and the Smith seersucker skirt in tan. From Megan Park this season, I have bought several dresses! I love the vivid pastels.
