Cooler than Coolest

As you have read on our website, Isabel Marant has landed at Roan and its like a new life of inspirational harmony has begun. We’ve heard and read a million fabulous things about Isabel Marant’s collection but nothing beats the bubbling excitement that hits you when you play with these pieces IRL (in real life). Almost every article online and in print has commented on how she nails Parisian chic, effortlessly. All too true! With so many fun, airy blouses in sexy but subtle prints, and funky yet tailored jackets, picking a fave is painful. The embroidered navajo skinny jeans take the cake in my opinion. Navajo prints are everywhere you turn this fall from bags to jewelry and boots to ponchos. Putting the design on denim without getting too kitschy? Hard thing to do, and well, Isabel has done it. Thank you, Ms. Marant for perfecting the balance between modern bohemian and classic chic.

It’s that time of year again where we all must wave good-bye to our summer fun and buckle down for the business of autumn. What does one need for this go-go-go season? A Beirn bag. They are the perfect bag for a woman on-the-run. You can throw in your makeup bag, wallet, a magazine for the train ride to work, heck, maybe even an extra pair of shoes for a sassy happy hour change up! Made of authentic snakeskin and lined with lightweight canvas these bags won’t add extra weight to your daily journey. And did we mention the rainbow of colors they come in? Don’t worry, it’s not just for the cold seasons. Your trusty Beirn will be right there to haul your water bottle, spf, and summer reads to all your summer get-a-way spots.

Finally a little relief from the summer swelter. That time of the year when it’s still hot but you don’t want to look like you are on your way to the pool is approaching. Along with school, meetings and the normal pace of life. We’re ready for this ever increasing moment of the wardrobe, fall colors/summer weights. Come in and check out the latest from Thakoon and A.L.C. for perfect transition clothes. Next week will mark the arrival of our first delivery from Rachel Zoe which is totally fun and surprisingly affordable. Following that will be the introduction of the most coveted collection in the world, Isabel Marant. We can’t wait for you to meet her collection.
Rum and Smac
by Roan on June 9th, 2010 (No Comments)
Just got back from a little Resort 2020/2011 preview in NYC and future posts will show the astounding talent of Jason Wu,Philip Lim, Christian Louboutin, Yigal Azrouel and more. But our best story comes from our cab-jump on 6th St. in the East Village. On our way to what we thought might be a quiet little drink and an evening morsel at Momofuku Noodle Bar, we were dumbstruck by a line pouring out of a tiny little establishment that servers nothing but Mac’n cheese called S’MAC. After a command for the cab to slam on brakes, we cozied in for a sampler at S’MAC! Eight different varieties of mac and cheese baked to golden perfection served in a cast iron skillet with wedge partitions.
Cheese Lady

My lifelong addiction to pimiento cheese has just become impossible to kick, thanks to Miss Bonnie. Bonnie Edelman is known to us as “the cheese lady”. A local foodie phenom, she dutifully delivers a handsome supply of her charming jars of Miss Bonnie’s Gourmet every Friday for our clients and staff to sample. The original flavor of Miss Bonnie’s Gourmet Pimiento Cheese won me over as the best I had ever had since my super-fabulous grandmother-inlaw’s (luv ya Gan!) But when Bonnie broke out the subtly hot Jalapeno flavor; creamy, savory and delightfully twangy with a hint of heat, I became all in for life. Now with the new cheddar blend, Miss Bonnie is the first non-fashion product to make Roan’s lovethenew list. Congratulations to Bonnie on all her recent accolades and success. She’s got “the cheese touch” in the best way. You can now find her on the shelves of over 1200 grocery and gourmet stores in America and at missbonnies.com.
On Our Walls
by Roan on March 29th, 2010 (No Comments)
Roan is a visual feast for the eyes and a tactile feast for the hands, but part of our soul is on our west wall. We call it “The Gallery” and it will house a new art installation every 2-3 months. Currently we are featuring the work of Dragana Crnjak, courtesy of Page Bond Gallery. Dragana’s use of shape color and texture play into the very core of what Roan is all about, visually stunning, sometimes contradictory, complex and simply playful. In her words, “I am drawn intuitively to the ideas of the uplifting but still fragile energy of a new beginning, a sense of levitation, the transitional moments of becoming and vanishing”. Oh Dragana, you don’t know how truly fashionable you are. Her works are available for purchase through the Page Bond Gallery (804)359.3633 and pagebondgallery.com.
