I recently taped a television segment for (NECN) at Thirty Petals Boutique in Belmont, MA. I've known the owner Erica for many years now --she is truly one of the sweetest people ever, and her boutique reflects all of her special qualities. Thirty Petals is a warm and inviting store that makes you feel at home the minute you walk through the door.  The clothes and accessories are unique, reasonably priced and different from the mainstream piece you'll find in the large department stores.

While at Thirty Petals, I fell in love with this Joseph Ribkoff black lattice jacket. We all need that one special piece that makes a statement and this jacket is it! The mix of leather and sheer detailing gives it sophistaction with a bit of an edge (I also love the lightweight arm coverage!).  I'll  be wearing this jacket in other blogs to show off it's versatility...here I've paired with a simple white dress and black pumps. 

If you're looking for a new line to try that's made in the U.S.,  fits WOMEN not girls,  feels SO good on and is reasonably priced--then let me introduce you to Fabrizio-Gianni.

I discovered this line a few months ago and ended up trying their "Shop & DASH" program where you can order 4 or more items to try on in the privacy of your own home. Whatever you like, you can purchase. Everything else goes back postage paid--shopping doesn't get much easier than this!

Usually when I order over the internet I end up keeping just a few pieces. But not this time...almost everything fit like it was made for me!
