"Classic Style, Rich Heritage" Pam Am Lands at the Fly

We’ve been geeking out over this Fly newcomer - Pan Am Brands! Yes, you may recall seeing paraphernalia from this now defunct airline in movies such as “Catch Me If You Can.” Well, now Pan Am Brands is recreating the handbags and accessories that are synonymous with cool travel style.

“Pan Am represents a way of travel long since forgotten: a time when the journey was anticipated as much as the destination. With Pan Am, "getting there" always meant unmatched civility pooled with the pinnacle of cool. Nothing better represents the Pan Am experience than the Pan Am bag. When Pan Am introduced the world to the jet age, the Pan Am bag was seen as more than just a carry on; it was a proudly carried symbol that represented a once in a lifetime experience.”

Today, Pan Am Brands bags are still highly regarded and greatly sought-after. Calling on their early designs of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, these iconic pieces, from “The Originals” collection, are fun and whimsical AND retain the historic and vibrant spirit that is Pan Am. And, they're not just for travel anymore; with the variety of shapes and sizes (not to mention great pockets for organization and multiple strap options), they're great for every day or for the gym as well! Check ‘em out:

NEWvember is Here!

Rabbit, rabbit! Can you believe November has arrived? Mother Nature certainly wanted to make sure we know it here in Boston; the extremely chilly temps that are now upon us make it hard to overlook! Thankfully, we just received a bunch of great late Fall styles to help you stay stylish and keep warm.

For starters, we’ve got the latest from Tulle. We’ve always loved Tulle for their smart construction and awesome price points! Check out these new pieces:

This vivid plum coat and graphic print skirt are featured in our current window display.

Personally, I had a tricky time deciding which of these next two coats would become mine. In the end the navy won for its shape and belting, but the black & white was a very close second!

And how can you not LOVE this delish faux fur jacket?!

Other new arrivals this past week include New Orleans-based Lia Molly. These knits are always Fly faves. Its hard to say no to the unique color combinations, patterns, and quirky details (the change purse pockets are one of their signatures)! I chose to don the first (black with grey and orange/coral) yesterday in honor of Halloween and want to take the second (brown with cream and gold) home for Thanksgiving. I can’t get enough of them!

Also, the wait is over – the first of Amy Rose’s Vintage Fuss hairclips are in store now! Here’s a glimpse:

Sooo, new month, new product, new excuses to come visit us and pick up something special!

See you soon, I’m sure :)

Fall in Love with Snazzy Comfort!

Forever yearning for pieces that look cool, put-together, and effortlessly chic AND comfortable, we are thrilled with the latest arrivals from Aryn K and Loveappella!

First, let's take a peek at some truly unique pieces from Aryn K... First, a blazer that can go just about anywhere and make a statement - without being too over the top, and while still providing a level of comfort I dare you to find from any other traditional blazer. The gold chain detail is soooo sharp; hello pizazz!

And, this, my friends, may be one of my favorite sweaters of the season. Its got all the attributes I love, especially for Fall; softness, unusual cowl neckline, contrasting fabrics (neckline & trim vs. body), and an "it" color combo (charcoal & dark taupe)!

Next up, Loveappella! We being with this wrap, which is an easy solution for any of you who have been feeling stuck in a rut with the same old cardigans. Perfect for the office or the weekend, and so comfortable you'll feel like you're wearing your favorite hoodie. I've paired it here with one of the new jewelry arrivals from Mata traders - I love the pop of color and asymmetrical design!

And, as always, Loveappella has given us what everyone loves - super soft and comfy tees that are anything but boring or basic! Whether you fancy a new burn-out, some sequin embellishment, or great shape with a neutral pattern, we've got you covered with looks such as these:

Come check out these styles and more!

Chic Chicks!

How fortuitous that I chose this week's mani-pedi to return to one of my absolute favorite fall nail colors, Metro Chic (from Sephora by OPI)?!?

This fabulous smoky grey polish, with a hint of brownish-purple, is right on point with the color palette seen in the newest arrivals here at the Fly! Many shades of pewter, charcoal, and taupe popped up recently, along side chocolate brown and cream - combos that scream fall and cozy (not to mention being great neutrals to pair with almost any color under the sun)!

First up, new styles from Angie :) These three sweater dresses are perfect for this fall weather! They're great paired with leggings or skinny jeans and topped with warm-toned accessories and jewelry. We love Angie's ability to evoke your boho side at reasonable prices, and these pieces are no exception...

Next, this sweater from New Orleans based, Lia Molly. It is unique, flattering, and comfy, to boot! This is a great use of the featured color palette, too; it is a bit of a statement print without coming off as 'too much. 'I also have to share a view of the back, because I just loooove these details; multi-color zipper with chocolate brown leather pull:

Lastly, even some of our vintage additions fit into this palette... Neutral sweater dresses never go out of style! Check out this one, recently added to our collection:

And feast your eyes on this awesome bolero:

So, don't fret when you see grey skies this fall... think of it as Mother Nature being on-trend and encouraging you to do the same! Then come see us ;)

Stay chic,

Naomi
