Many of us woke up to a fall day that feels more like winter with cold winds, light rain, even snow and we haven't unwrapped our first piece of Halloween candy. May we suggest cozying up to some of our favorite hand knits by Anna Kula and Lara Kazan.

GenArt Fresh Faces- We Know How to Pick'Em!



Ravinstyle was thrilled to hear that both handbag designer Antoinette Lee and clothing designer Richard Ruiz were selected to kick-start Fashion Week at GenArt's Fresh Faces Spring '09 show this past Thursday in NYC. For those not familiar- it's a show legendary for breaking new talent (ahem- Zac Posen, anyone?) Both collections were stunning, and we're anxiously awaiting their arrivals. And, since we've had both collections on our site now for at least two to three seasons, we're psyched to know that we've got our fingers on the pulse of what's fresh & new- before anyone else!

Hoki Pokey



We're smitten with these brand-new, just in from Israel (how often do you hear THAT?) HOKI sandals. Juicy colors make them an easy pick-me-up, and the soft recycled plastic & orthopedic soles mean they are actually a comfy alternative to the knee-killing ubiquitous flip-flop. You may recognize the criss-cross style as a mainstay of your grandpa's wardrobe- they're a funny twist on a 70's classic, resurrected by an adventurous former ad exec with a keen eye for style. Shlomit Slavin bought the molds for the classic shoe and had them cast in brights like purple and turquoise, a far cry from the dusty brown and black versions she spotted on Joffa Road. Available now.

We Love Lucky/Lucky Loves Us!

Luckymag.com is the online brainchild of Lucky magazine, and we love referring to it for everything from obsessive beauty tips to amazing shopping guides for cities around the globe. Last week, Luckymag.com cutie Violet Gaynor listed Ravinstyle.com as her 'current online obsession'. Seeing as she was selected as the 'cute outfit of the day' snapshot, we're taking it as one of the best compliments ever! She highlighted Richard Ruiz and Cri de Coeur's collections as worth taking a peek at, and we couldn't agree more. Thanks, Violet!

Meet Pamela Thompson


Inspired by marionettes and Mary Pickford, and with buddies like Betsy Johnson and the Heatherette boys (she was head designer at both houses), Pamela Thompson's debut collection of dresses is surely the launching pad for some serious fashion chatter. Check out this interview with her in online magazine Papierdoll.
Her darling dresses can be viewed here- we can't wait to see what she cooks up for fall!

Ladies Who Lunch


Ever wonder about who exactly is behind the velvet curtains over here at Ravinstyle? Here's a pic of marketing director Biba Milioto, owner Jill Licata, and designer Samantha Sung, snapped by our friend Patrick at Bradbury Lewis last week.
And yes, that is a mimosa in the frame there- we highly recommend the Spotted Pig!

We're already brimming with anticipation over the wardrobe choices that will surely be seen on the streets of cities around the world, and we're pretty sure this sweet multi-tasker has the potential to be the next flower corsage. Snap em up while they're available- wait lists will likely be building after the film's release next weekend. Also- keep an eye out for more pieces from her Navajo collection to be added shortly- you'll also being seeing the Navajo choker in the movie as well!

We're thrilled to finally offer Rebecca Minkoff's genius Bread and Wine tote, after several months of patiently waiting for our order to arrive!

Great At Any Age


Dressing alike is a work hazard here at Ravinstyle.com. It's not uncommon for the office to assume something of a dress code when we get new deliveries in, and while we can all gravitate to the same blouse or dress or necklace, it's always interesting to see the personal spin on wearing said pieces. We're women of several generations, and we figure that our customer runs the gamut, too- so we're trying out a new styling feature called 'Great At Any Age', which will highlight one show-stopping piece and present it styled for several different age groups. Check out the entire guide here; first stop is the ever-flattering, easy to wear Secrets of Charm Camilla dress.

A gorgeous new shoe line that boasts an extraordinary feature- it's completely vegan. Yes- those booties? sueded microfiber! Those crazy gladiator wedges? Canvas! With a rubber composite sole that has adorable faux treads. Designer Gina Ferraraccio, a stylish herbivore who was unimpressed by the lackluster offerings of leather-free shoes on the market, decided to take matters into her own hands and craft this totally stylish, totally wearable, and completely environmentally conscious line. We couldn't be happier! PLUS- for each pair sold, Cri De Coeur will plant a tree, through a partnership with carbonfund.org.

Hello. My Name is Eleanor.



And I am the newest addition to the Rachel Nasvik collection. I'm inspired by those great disco bags chic divas wore to Studio 54 so they could boogie and sway and hold their cocktails. I can hold everything you REALLY need for day-or night. My strap is adjustable, the gold chain adds a little flashiness to my sumptuous leather body. Let's hang out sometime?
