An archive of lost glamour and musings on refined style
You may have read about the amazing Networking group Damsels in Design here on GG before. I was so honored to be interviewed by founder Jennifer Markas earlier this month about starting Nona E Rose. Here are a few photos(including the new holiday collection)! The rest of the interview is available here.
My favorite Sex and the City Quote isn’t about relationships. One of the most true statements ever made on the show was, “New Yorkers hold on to every last warm Fall day as if it is the last one they will ever see.” So spot on.
And in true fashion, I’ve filled my September Saturdays with long walks through Soho, beautifully hosted outdoor brunch, and multiple trips to the farmers market.
All of these from Emerson Fry, Please.
One of the best things about September is the return of Boardwalk Empire. This past Sunday’s season premiere was worth waiting for plot wise and visually it might be my favorite episode to date. Margaret’s dress and headpiece for the King Tut themed New Years Party was just beautiful and the party decor enviable.
And as always, the NY Mag recap, fantastic.
Said Oscar de la Renta when he spoke to my fashion draping class in college. Mission Accomplished.
…Jenny Packham, making my jaw drop. Collection after collection, Jenny Packham delivers gorgeous draping and exquisite vintage-inspired details.

As opposed to the beach or the pool, I spent labor day weekend doing the thing New Yorkers hate most…… moving. Although I’m super excited about the new place (specifically the decorating aspect), I will miss what I called my corner office in my tiny old room. So many late nights making lookbooks, linesheets, budgets, and of course;
new designs. Memories.
With only a couple of weeks left in August, All Summer Style in the Nona E Rose Online Store are 20% off!
Around this time of the summer, I start thinking about everything left to do on my summer bucket list. This year, although I did managed to;
1.Hit every ice cream place in the east village
2.Get to at least 2 baseball games
3.See concerts in both Central and Prospect Park
I haven’t gotten a chance to do the #1 thing on my list; rent bikes on either the west side highway or Governors Island…2 weeks left to make it happen!
What do you have left on your summer list?
I’ve been a bit absent from the blogsphere this summer, due to some travel and more importantly some very exciting things for Nona E Rose! Aside from this lovely write up on celebrity stylist Claudine DeSola’s blog, Nona E Rose is now stocked at Duo in Georgetown, Washington D.C. and in NYC at Henri Bendel!
A big thanks to all of Nona E Rose’s stylish customers and amazing supporters!
