"I'm a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose."? - Lady Grantham

It's BAAACK!  Downton Abbey Season 3 premiered this week and if you're like most of the people I know, you were waiting for it with, shall we say, Fan-atic anticipation?  Likewise.  On that note, I'm feeling quite romantically inclined to pretty little things this week.  With that in mind, here's some Downton Abbey inspirational looks and a modern, Labels equivalent (We hope the Dowager Countess would approve):

Bennetton coat (4) $79.99, Dior handbag, YSL boots (8) $399.99

Go for the Green SALE: Pantone's 2013 color of the year

Pantone announced Emerald as 2013's color of the year and we couldn't be more excited about it.



 The bright, bold and happy color of emerald green has a regal air, a vivacity and zeal for life, and is exactly the hue I need to motivate this New Year.  And, perhaps bring us all a little "green" prosperity and luck in 2013.  It sure seems to have worked for these girls...

Counting our Blessings 2013

It's that time of year for resolutions.  That time when people set out to improve their lives whether physically, mentally or spiritually.   This year while developing some goals, I've been reminded of all the many blessings I have.  Though they sometimes come with their own hills and valleys, the journey is often what makes anything worthwhile.

"The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now," Oprah says. "And the more grateful you are, the more you get."  With that in mind, Labels is so grateful to our outstanding consignors and wonderful customers.  We've met some wonderful friends over the past 3 years, and are so thankful for your business and to know you.

Favorite Fridays: Christmas wrap up

What was your favorite Christmas gift this year?  I have to say, with a baby on the way, I didn't expect to get as spoiled as I did- but truly received some wonderful, thoughtful gifts from loved ones.  My absolute favorites though were a couple of pieces of my grandmother's jewelry that my mom had cleaned up and redesigned for me.

Cameo and pearl necklace

Throwback Thursday

Happy New Year!  Well, did everybody get what they wanted for Christmas?  I sure hope so.  Reminiscing about favorite Christmases past, I remembered one of my favorite gifts of all time was a leather skirt I had coveted for months that I received from Santa at about age 10.  Oh the sheer joy I felt when I saw that skirt.  Not only was it the height of fashion in my book, but also it was a real grown up clothing item that graduated me from the floral rompers and Laura Ashley dresses I had lived in as a child.


Speaking of leather, it's back in fashion full force.  Now's the time, Ladies, to embrace your inner rock chic and break out your Moto jacket with a floral dress, booties and tights.  Or, if you're looking for a more classic twist than grunge - try out any of the fabulous ruffled or laser-cut leather pieces that have been gracing the runways for the past season.  Or, better yet, go minimalist in one of my favorite pieces of the year with a simple leather top.   Usher in 2013 with style:

 Here are some of our favorite leather looks in store:
Et Cetera (10) laser-cut leather coat in ecru $175

OXMO (XL) leather cropped jacket in blush $125
