What are you 'itching' for?

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Probably one of my favourite items at the moment is fun, unique, sleek, elegant and very functional. I don't know what more to say about the Pen with Back Scratcher other than it is utterly ingenious, and the perfect gift.

This stylish pen has a telescopic handle and detachable back scratcher. Made of brass and chrome colour and the length ranges from 6 2/3" to 20 1/2" long so there is no itch that can't be reached!

Another great-looking gadget is the USB Table fan.

This cute but powerful table fan is only 4 3/4" with a cable that extends to 78 3/4" in length.

MORE Thérapie!

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Thérapie will be adding a new location in Manhattan! This cute little sister store will be opening in the beginning of April in an iconic building in the Flatiron district and I couldn't be more thrilled. I will let this feature in WWD do the introductions.

Did you read that last sentence? Brooklyn's Grimaldi's Pizza will be there too and open 24/7! To see the restoration-in-progress, check out Time Out New York!

Haute Notes - Christian Lacroix Papier

Thursday, February 25, 2010

I am one who will always need to write things down rather than type into a PDA. I carry a pad everywhere I go, and notebooks don't get more mind-blowing than this for me. Parisian couturier, Christian Lacroix has a line of notebooks featuring his amazing artwork. Truly a feast for the eyes, ever think you could own a lavish haute couture Lacroix sketch? These journals inspire me to pen masterpieces worthy of being in such impossibly chic vessels. This is a place where you want to keep thoughts forever.

Christian Lacroix Fashion Sketch "Croquis" Notebook : This Lay-flat journal has 128 ruled ivory pages and measures 6" x 4.25"; Two front and back cover haute couture fashion sketches; A personal title page and a black and white striped ribbon marker which, along with the pattern infused spine, adds that extra-special Lacroix touch. $10.95

Christian Lacroix Belleachesse Lay-flat Notebook is clean on the outside but it is still lush with details: Black textured die-cut cover with a contrasting red spine and a matching red elastic band closure; Die-cut front end pages; A personal title page; black and white patterned lining on the inside cover and an original watercolor sketch from Lacroix as the frontispiece. 128 ruled pages measuring 5.75″ × 8.25″ for $12.95

Christian Lacroix Virgin Lay-flat Notebook has to be my favourite. Adorned with beauty, this is the Virgin Mary, Lacroix-style. With a front and back cover collage; A personal title page; A black and white striped ribbon marker, this cahier has 128 ruled pages and measures 5.75" x 8.25" for $12.95.

Spring Skins

Monday, February 22, 2010

Despite the weekly snowstorms, my sights are set on Spring! This is where we transition from warm and fuzzy to slick, sleek and glossy! From fur to snake, croc and any other cold-blooded reptile you can think of. Not only are our new textured bags gorgeous to look at, they are ALL VEGAN! Luxurious and yet easy on the wallet...couldn't ask for more from a bag!

Nuala Vegan Tote in Ivory - Textured Snakeskin print.

Nuala Vegan Satchel in Charcoal - Smaller than the tote with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap.

Soledad Vegan Tote in Black with snakeprint trim.

Meanwhile, I know my postings have been somewhat erratic lately but there is good reason! Something new and exciting has been in the works which I will be announcing very shortly!

Happy Chinese New Year of the Tiger!

Thursday, February 11, 2010

We, at Thérapie would just like to wish everyone "Gung Hei Fat Choi" and Best wishes for a Grrrrr-eat Year of The Tiger!

This is something I read in a random Chinese Zodiac article I came across about what lies ahead and what to look forward to this coming Year of the Tiger:

"Drama, intensity, change and travel will be the keywords for 2010. The Year of the Tiger will bring far reaching changes for everyone. For all of the Chinese horoscope signs, this year is one to be active – seizing opportunities and making the most of our personal and very individual talents. Everything happens quickly and dramatically in a Tiger year – blink and you could miss an important chance of a lifetime!"

Seems like this won't be a dull year for anyone! Happiness, Health and Love!
