Although today is normally Wednesday Wines, Terry was having technical difficulties. Luckily I remembered I had never shared with you my picks from Liz Lange’s and my NYC shopping spree for BEHIND THE Q.
It was tough to narrow things down at the Milly Madison Avenue flagship boutique. There were so many cute choices. I am loving the new longer lengths this season. This Tamuda Bay jersey dress is a fabulous versatile piece. Dress it up or down, it would be perfect for our travel article yesterday as it can fulfill so many functions.
I loved almost everything from their new fashion jewelry line but this fabulous beaded cuff really caught my eye. Like Liz, I adore chunky jewelry, and this fun piece would work perfectly with everything in my summer wardrobe.
It took all my resolve to resist this charming Keyhole Ruffle Blouse until I discovered there were none left in my size. There’s a reason this versatile blouse was so popular. For day or night this silk top with its sophisticated boho attitude is a go anywhere wardrobe winner. It’s still available in the pretty ink color in a few sizes online.
At Calypso, it was love at first sight with these fabulous Antik Batik Akan Thong sandals. With just the right amount of sparkle they could go directly from day to dinner, especially with a long flowing maxi.
This adorable Santi Inka Clutch is just the right size and style for a night out at the beach. The turquoise and orange combination is classic summer and the beading has a fun retro 60s vibe that made me crave the scent of Bain de Soleil.
Gale Grant was like being in a penny candy store. The jam packed colorful cases put me into sweet jewelry overdrive. This statement set of cuff and earrings screamed summer glam. I really chose them for the cuff, but I can see the earrings would be stunning as well – think caftan chic.
Another statement bracelet was this fabulous animal cuff by Kenneth Jay Lane. You know my penchant for all things orange and coral.
And like many of the terrific finds at this little jewel box, this versatile bracelet could go anywhere all summer long. I’m afraid my shot just doesn’t do it justice – it’s really a wonderful style that has a timeless classic appeal.
What a fun day we had! It was a whirlwind of commando shopping – window shopping my wallet is happy to report!!
Looks like a dangerous day out…..those turquoise earrings and bracelet would have been hard to resist….xv
Absolutely agree with Vicki….trouble when the visa bill arrives! The turquoise bracelt is fab!
I LOVE that keyhole blouse – as you say it would be sooo versatile – beach, dinner party, work gig, everything! Bummer that it wasn’t in your size, but then sometimes that’s helpful…:) Fun post!
Stunning choices…love each and every one! I have that Milly top in three different prints…its great (and is very forgiving if you gain a pound or two) Love the KJL cuff with the frogs…great looking. Love it all though the jersey dress, the chic cuff…its all fabulous!
So fab!!! Right now, I don’t know whether to be happy or sad that Gale Grant is not online…
That green dress is right up my alley. Everything about it I would be attracted to. Goodness it would be fun to go shopping with you!
you’ve selected some gorgeous accessories and dresses…
love that first longer length dress with the long chunky beads…
fabulous finds..

Gorgeous picks – that dress is beyond! And, I’m swooning over the blue cuff!!!
I’d go shopping with you anytime! :)
Perfect picks. Thanks for taking us window shopping with you–all of the fun, and no bill to pay… Unless I decide to track down that blue cuff!!
I’m beginning to think you two need official titles – ‘Commando Shoppers,’ Liz and Stacey, what a great description! (Someone has referred to my style as ‘extreme shopping’!) You share some lovely things once again, I am always going to be partial to KJL and Milly, they both offer lots of possibilities. The sandals would go beautifully at any number of venues, a versatile find!
Sending you a smile,

I have been eyeing that Santi Inka Clutch!! ox
Q. You can shop for me anytime! I was unfamiliar with Gale Grant. Her jewerly looks beyond yummy! Where is she located? Clicked your link and got to her FB page…hoping she has a website. That I Santi clutch made me crazy!!!
I’m looking at those sandals thinking I have more than enough vintage bits and bobs to cover myself some sandals like that but in my heart I know I won’t make the time :) Really like that clutch, so much beadwork in it, lovely. I cannot find words for how amazing that KJL bracelet is. I mean really.
Love those elegant sandals!!
the bracelet… are those frogs? love!
Great shopping trip! Love the sandals, long dress, chunky jewelry…would love to come along on your next shopping spree.
What a fun day shopping! Love all of the things you showed. Hope you do this again soon and share you finds with us, even if it is just window shopping!
Adore this post…obsessed with the Kenneth Jay Lane bracelet and the Milly keyhole ruffled blouse is wonderful!! My kind of day…
Lot’s of bling…I love it. I’m a girly girl at heart. Mona
Those turquoise earrings and bracelet are fabulous. What a great gift they would make for someone. ;-)
I am impressed by both the shop and the control you had to resist such pretty things… I adore the jewelry especially. So many lovely pieces here! So glad you shared :)
Hope you are having a wonderful week so far.
xx, Sarah
Just returned (sort of…) from a whirlwind birthday weekend in NYC – so much fun, but glad to be back :) Can I just say, Gale Grant has GOT to get a website STAT. Seriously obsessed! x KO
Wonderful choices, but that beaded clutch is just too fabulous. But I do love me some Kenneth Jay Lane! A perfect day it looks like.
