We got some great goods today! Fantastic button-down shirts for Ladies and Gents from Ben Sherman and some Ladies Local Celebrity Tees!
I love the Local Celebrity stuff, its super soft and the graphics are fresh and cheeky. I wish everything in my world was as soft! My favorite is this cute white crew that says "this girl can shop"... We also got in the Ladies version of our popular "Respect your Mother" tee, tres eco chic! These make really fun layering pieces!
The Ben Sherman pieces are stunning. I am loving the two plaid numbers that we got for men. One is a very nice black and white paid flannel with a back seam detail. The other is in a cotton woven fabric with a nice autumn colorway.
For Ladies we got my favorite button-down fit in a pretty mod inspired black and white dot print! As always the inside cuff adds a pop by surprising you with a different color!
These are all pieces that will be great to grab while you can! The weather deities have proclaimed that it is going to SNOW by Thursday... or be very cold. Either way come on in and well get you warm, cozy and cute!
Ciao for now-

Where to go (and what to wear) in Ketchum - Part 1
Food and fashion are two of my deepest passions. You can have one or the other but in my personal experience when the two are married together, the art of living is truly realized. This is one reason why Ketchum, with it's metropolitan in the mountains vibe, is such an intriguing destination.
Working at Ketchum Dry Goods, I have had a number of clients inquire as to where to go to dine, followed by the question "So what the hell do I wear in this town?"
Where: Ciro-
I love restaurants where food is presented as art. This for me is evident the second you walk in and see the bread sticks displayed on the tables like an edible sculpture. Additionally Ciro provides great service, they will more than likely remember your name the next time you come to dine. Last night I had the Pizza Margarita with prosciutto. It is my (and many others) opinion that they make the best pizza in town. This is a fantastic place to come with friends or with some one special. They are open daily for lunch and dinner.
To see a menu, visit http://www.cirosunvalley.com/Restaurant.htm
Wear: Modern chic-
This is my favorite place to dine as the atmosphere speaks to my personal aesthetic. I typically would suggest neutral colors with the addition of a pop of hue some where in the mix, keeping the lines clean and modern.
For the ladies I would put together the Seven Gwenevere skinny in Black, the Cynthia Steffe draped jersey top in persimmon/orange with black heeled boots (I suggest heels as I have a bit of Napoleon Complex, you however can ignore that and wear whatever you want) I would say that the Joes Muse jeans with the deep navy Rare blouse and a pop of bold color in jewelry would be perfect as well.
As for the Gents, classic modern is the way to go. I very much appreciate a well put together man and we have some great options in the store right now. I would stick with dark denim, and a nice button down shirt. My personal favorites are the Seven A-Pocket jeans with our deep blue and black striped button-down by Shirt by Shirt. I also like the Joes classic jean with our last white striped Ted Baker shirt.
More to come at a later date!
Ciao!

The Taming of the Hue
I learned a lot about dressing from my Grand mama. She was always chic, no matter what she was doing! (I like to think I didn't fall far from the tree... I have even worn 3 inch heels whilst biking...)
Anyways, she would have shot and stuffed me if I EVER wore white after labor day. Well ladies (and you Gents too... if any of you read my rambles) the time is now to rebel, break the law, Vouge says so...!
White has made it to fall, perhaps a subliminal message in the fashion industry for a clean slate. White paired with moody darks and supple suede is splashed all over the glossies. A spread in Elle features crisp whites and ivorys with jewel tone purples and slightly faded grays. Knee high gray suede boots, matte black tights and layers of fall colors in chunky knit fabrics take even the most resort-esq pair of white shorts into the depths of autumn.
We have some amazing white denim in the store, I am lusting over this outfit; our limited edition 777 skinny jean with the deep plum Walter blouse (only one of these left by the way!!!) a Grey Michael Stars cardigan and chunky scarf....
The white element doesn't have to be on the bottom half either... our distressed black William Rast straight leg jeans with a Alternative Apparel tank under our cute white crochet Nougat cardigan layered under the Paige Black Label Moto jacket with some hot booties gives a peep of crisp in an otherwise dark color palette.
Let me know how you are wearing your white into fall! Just don't get shot by chic grand mamas!
Ciao Mios!-

New Seven for all Mankind and a KDG Goods-girl in the City!
Wow, what a week Goods fans! We got in some incredible merchandise! New cozy sweaters from LinQ that you can still easily work into a late summer outfit. We also got in my new favorite thing...in three new colors! Our best selling fall must have... the Seven Gwenevere ponte legging in Ash, a super hot Navy color and more of the wunderkind of all staples... Black. (Never can have too much if you ask me...)
Not only did we get some great merchandise in but a KDG Goods-girl (yours truly) just got back from a fall fashion eye feast in San Francisco! I always come back from San Fran feeling so very inspired by the way pieces are paired together. Like a one's palette there is common ground, but no right or wrong way to pair things. I love unusual pairings! I have seen a lot of feminine paired with dark and grungy pieces, making for a fresh and unexpected look that is always uniquely your own. The new San Francisco treat is the style mavens that I saw on those steep streets! The skinny silhouette is on the fast track for fall takeover, trend-ites paired their pairs with knee-high boots, neo-bohemian style tops, biker inspired jackets and piles of scarves! The second I got back to KDG I pulled a pair of our new Gwenevere leggings in navy, a soft mauve blouse by Nougat, the Paige Black Label Moto Jacket and piled on tons of our soft Michael Stars scarves... all that's needed it hot boots!!!
The other hot look that I L-O-V-E-D was feminine dresses layered with cozy sweaters and tons of statement jewelry. For this look I put together the Seven Draped silk dress (in a lovely soft olive gray) with black leggings, this AMAZING lacy black Nougat cardigan and some chunky Cynthia Desser jewelry ( we have hot cuffs and necklaces in from her!)
Check it out - All this week the window displays will be a hybrid on San Francisco fall fashion and always the latest and greatest here at Ketchum Dry Goods! Tweet what you think!
Ciao 'Mios!
