What's All the Fuss About?

Does fall ever make you feel nostalgic? I know I often start reminiscing when the autumnal weather sets in; thinking about everything from jumping in piles of leaves as a kid, to layering up for crisp days, to Halloween costumes, and many things in between. Of course, at the same time, I always feel like fall is a chance for a fresh start - thanks to years of first days of school, the Jewish New Year, not to mention always picking up magazines featuring comprehensive fall fashion run-downs! So, it is quite serendipitous that we just received fall vintage pieces AND a TON of new jewelry from Fly Fave, Vintage Fuss.

No one does it like Vintage Fuss's Amy Rose! Her use of unexpected combinations of old and new materials (think vintage beads, lockets, cabochons, etc.) make her repurposed jewelry totally one-of-a-kind. As evidenced by our most recent acquisitions, Amy continues to top herself. Check out some of her newest necklaces...

And here's a small taste from the plethora of fantastic rings Amy's made recently... a pearlized owl, a working locket, gold filigree, and turquoise cabochon...

True to form, the latest bracelets are statement-worthy, many adorned with floral pieces...

When it comes to our vintage clothing, we do love ourselves some pretty summer sundresses, but we're also total suckers for sweater dresses and cocktail pieces. Take a peak at a couple of our latest finds, spanning multiple decades (sweater dresses seen here with a vintage belt)...

So, whether you're looking for something old, something new, or something that's a combination of the two, there's bound to be just the right piece to complete your fall looks! Come see us soon!

Muchas Gracias!

Many thanks to all the FLY ladies who made it to our Fall Fiesta/Tribute to Spain last Thursday night! We hope everyone enjoyed checking out fabulous pieces by Barcelona-based Desigual as well as our other fall arrivals.

And what would our Tribute to Spain have been without Spanish wine tasting, courtesy of Kerri Platt and The Wine Bottega?! Not to mention the yummy specialty cheeses and other snacks we had on hand...

Stay tuned for info on upcoming events!

Get Co(at)zy for Fall

Here we go folks… this week marks my favorite day of the year: the official start of Autumn! So, what better day than today to feature some great ideas for the crisp weather that is beginning to descend upon New England?!? The time has come to really start thinking about layering, and we’ve got some pieces that are chic, easy, and comfortable.

To ease into cooler days and nights, I’m loving these new wraps from Top It Off. Not only are the super soft, they come in great neutral colors and can be worn three ways (wrap, asymmetrical poncho, and scarf). Some have feminine ruffles, others are more simple, and can be paired with a fun necklace, much like the new flower piece by Bohm, seen below.

Having trouble admitting that coat season is creeping up on us? Don’t worry, these two jackets from Hazel are so cool and on trend that you’ll want to wear them every day! First up, a military-style denim jacket, pictured here with a fun olive & navy scarf. Also, check out this awesome chocolate-brown leather bomber, paired with a festive orange, cream & brown scarf.

Lastly, how can you say no to the whimsy of this new coat from Papillon Eastern?! The red, grey, and black textured scribble pattern makes a fun statement – especially when paired with this 20s-inspired hat by DeLux.

And, what’s another way to get cozy? Come sample Spanish wines with us this Thursday night from 6:00-9:00PM as part of our Tribute to Spain… We’ll be offering 15% off any piece by Barcelona-based, Desigual, and The Wine Bottega’s Kerri Platt will be conducting a Spanish wine tasting! See you then!

Cheers! Naomi

Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a… Tee?

Technically, there are still almost two more weeks until it is officially fall, but, as I’ve mentioned before, the Fly is filling up fast with autumnal styles. And, with this week being back-to-school time, as well as Rosh Hashanah (the start of the Jewish New Year), it seems like there is no better time to really buckle down (pun intended) and get your fall fashion ready! Now, I know some of you are having trouble switching gears and thinking about dressing for cooler temps, but, I promise, our fall collections will definitely keep your spirits up… Today I had to stifle squeals of glee when I received shipments from two Fly favorites: Desigual and Papillon Eastern! Following suit with our previous fall arrivals, these latest pieces have funk and comfort factors that are both off the charts.

Papillon Eastern fits in just right here at the Fly; the label’s aesthetic is feminine but also unique and easy-to-wear, and their logo is a butterfly, to boot! And there are more butterflies featured on this awesome new sweater dress/tunic (paired here with an Olaria medallion). Could this be more up our modern-vintage alley?

And, of course, I can’t say enough good things about our Spanish friends, Desigual. The styles I received this morning, true to form, are fantastic. I just love that Desigual, and many of our other adored brands, are helping us ease gracefully into the next season! They’ve taken the aspects we’ve come to know and covet (vibrant prints and patchworks) and made comfortable pieces that will be great for layering without making you feel bulked up and dark, as some fall pieces tend to. Long sleeve tees with pizzaz? Check. Bright, patterned, sheer tunic? Check. Skirts to be paired with tees or with sweaters? Check. Fun pieces for fall? You bet.

Looking for more layering pieces as you prepare for the autumn chill? We’ve got ‘em. Take a peek at fall’s answer to the tanks and tees you rocked all summer, from Sucre Soir (paired with an Olaria yellow leaf necklace and vintage pearl necklace, respectively):

So, perhaps, this is the cue to begin the metamorphosis of our wardrobes for fall. Luckily, we can help you do so with light-hearted wares, perfect for creating your one-of-a-kind style for the new season! Get FLY for the FALL!

L’Shana Tova (Here’s to a Good Year)!
