ADAM + Sweaters = Perfection

Really, can Adam Lippes do any wrong?  Especially when it comes to sweaters (here are a few recent faves), it seems he has the magic touch for balancing warmth, comfort, and stylishness.  We just got this oversized chunky knit from him in stock, and we are completely IN LOVE!  The tutleneck can be buttoned on, as pictured, or left off for just a cute crewneck with button accents around the collar.  So versatile!  It's surprisingly light to wear, but amazingly warm and soft.  


Basically, I just want to hibernate in this until March...

Sweater Love

Definitely obsessing over sweaters right now (but then again, who isn't!)  We love everything this season has to offer, from oversized chunky knits to structured cardigans to classics like Fair Isle pullovers.  On so many runways the sweaters were definitely front & center, pulling the entire outfit together.  Here are a few curent faves:

Tory Burch, Mulberry, Marc Jacobs, Lutz & Patmos, Luisa Beccaria
I just love how much of a STATEMENT they make!  They're not over-the-top, but they definitely don't fade into the background.  There seems to be so much focus on cut, color, embellishments, and material. Also loving how classic all of these looks are!  The models look so polished and put together in neutral colors, preppy pumps, and simple skirts.  Adorable!!!

To get the look at Gramercy, Kitty pulled a few new favorite sweaters off our racks from Jodi Arnold and Tibi.  On the left is a lucious grey cashmere pullover from Jodi Arnold with a removable cowl neck. The cut is loose in the body but fitted at the sleeves and waist for great balance.  Pair it with riding boots and a colorful silk scarf for classic elegance!  Also we LOVE this pink cardigan from Tibi, which is perfect for skirts and cozy dresses!


Here's another amazing pullover from Jodi Arnold, which again balances draping and fit.  Love that chain neckline detail--it kind of reminds me of a more subtle version of this amazing Michael Kors creation...

You Need This Now: Chunky Sweater

Clockwise, from top left: Chloe, Elie Tahari, Stella McCartney, Cerruti, Akris, Chanel, Etro, Loewe, Undercover, Chanel
 If we learned anything from the Fall 2010 RTW runway shows, it's that staying warm doesn't have to sacrifice looking luxe.  Between the structured coats, fabulous fur, dramatic capes, and shearling jackets, we were convinced we wouldn't be freezing this winter!  Designers from Akris to Undercover featured thick, chunky, oversized knits, as pictured in the collage above.  We love the weightiness of these pieces, and their ability to be worn a myriad of different ways.  Pair it with bare legs (Stella McCartney) for asymmetry, or tights (Chanel) or slim pants (Akris) for a tailored look.  Or go all-out and wear voluminous pants (Undercover, Chanel) or skirts (Cerruti) for a fully February look!  However you wear the thick knit sweater, there's no disputing that you NEED it.

We pulled two of our fave chunky sweaters off the rack for styling.  Kitty paired the grey cocoon sweater by Jodi Arnold with a purple linen Love Quotes scarf and a leather Kage bag.  This sweater lives up to its name--you will hibernate in it!  We love the short sleeves and stand up collar--it maintains structure and fit.

She also layered a cream sweater by Adam with a lime Love Quotes scarf, a white Tibi blouse, and a tan leather belt.  The sweater is one of Adam's fall favorites, with thick cable knitting down the front and a great structured shoulder.




We know we CANNOT go through fall without a chunky sweater!  Especially with so many amazing designs from our favorite labels!!

Sweater Season!

October is in full-swing in Pennsylvania, and it is definitely time for some warm sweaters!  We have some amazing thick knits in stock now at Gramercy to throw on over any outfit and stay toasty!  Below are some faves from Adam and Minnie Rose:

We love this grey and cream knit from Adam to put on over a simple tee and skinny jeans.  Kitty paired it with this great chunky necklace from Kenneth Jay Lane to complete the look.  This outfit is perfect for weekdays and weekends alike--the sweater is so effortlessly chic!


This is another amazing sweater from Adam.  We love the rustic knit pattern and wonderfully oversize turtleneck.  The sleeves and waist are fitted to balance it all out.  Perfect for curling up to some hot tea on a chilly night!



We think this cashmere Minnie Rose is so dreamy, especially with a gorgeous woven Kenneth Jay Lane necklace!  The color goes with everything this season.  The knit is so unbelievably soft, we know you will want to sleep in it!
