Now for the Jenni Kayne boutique -- we would be remiss not to talk about its perfectness! First of all, the clothes are shown in inspired color stories in the racks and on the shelves (the palette and patterns for Spring/Summer 2013 are just right), mixed in with accessories from the JK line and also from Clare Vivier, Proenza Schouler, and Patricia Underwood. We fell in love with the Patricia Underwood for JK Bogart fedora, inspired by a man's hat but with a feminine twist.  We've also been huge fans of JK's Italian-made D'Orsay flats (that make us think of Talitha Getty in Marrakesh) and she does them in such delicious hues. It's highly possible that a pair will be finding its way into one of our closets soon...


Jenni Kayne is so good at the menswear twist on womenswear: a little bit preppy, a little bit borrowed from the boys, but all cool and feminine. Her jackets and blazers are cut amazingly well, with a perfect drape. Kristin was eyeing a white oversized one from the resort collection.

While we were oooing and ahhing, the girls at Jenni Kayne were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. From the moment we stepped in with Romy (our mini dachshund/bodyguard) we were made to feel very comfortable. It's a lovely, clean lined space that is cozied up with plants and impeccably edited home goods, including L'Artisan Parfumeur (we love the amber ball). The exquisite offering of jewelry throughout the store features unique designers including Lena Wald and Kathryn Bentley. Kristin snapped up a colorful one-of-a-kind bracelet with an evil eye from Dream Collective, made from African record beads. The earrings were especially seductive, and some of them (if not all) you can buy individually to mix and match (or wear just one - 80s style)! And one case starred a sparkling selection from a fave of ours: bling king Tom Binns.

We look forward to going back...hopefully soon!
