The lovely people over at ADAM Adam Lippes offered to send me one of their fabulous satin crepe back menswear blazer plus they’re offering you a 50% discount on either the black or the fuschia through today, 12/14 using code “grechen.”
I literally received the jacket 30 minutes ago and couldn’t wait to try it on, and now I don’t want to take it off! I asked for a size 12, which fits perfectly for an oversized fit (although the sleeves are a bit long on me), but if you prefer something more fitted, I’d size down. The blazer hangs beautifully and feels great. I don’t have anything very “fancy” to pair it with right now, but I love the look of it with trouser jeans and a white tank top (yes, I’m wearing it today to go grocery shopping LOL):

(here it is buttoned)

I can totally see myself wearing this with everything. Although it’s a little more elegant than wool, you could wear it just as you would a wool blazer, but then it’s also very easy to dress-up. I think it would be lovely with a pair of cropped skinny pants and ballet flats or platform sandals for holiday parties. The 50% off brings the blazer down to $212, a very reasonable price for something of this quality (it’s made in NYC) and versatility.
Don’t forget to use code “grechen” until 11:59 PM PST on Monday, December 14th for 50% off THIS BLAZER only at ADAM Adam Lippes.
I’ve been swooning over Ariel Gordon’s jewelry for more than a year (since I first saw it at Max & Chloe I think); it’s the perfect combination of fun & practical, interesting & classic. What got me originally though, were the initial pendants. I think I may have mentioned before how obsessed I am with my name (LOL) and how I would totally do the nameplate necklace thing, STILL, even though that was SOOO 90′s…
Anyway, I digress…recently Ariel Gordon was kind enough to offer up an exclusive 25% off code (GRECHEN25) just for you
and then, in the mail today, I received the MOST WONDERFUL gift from her – the sterling silver w/diamond pendant:

This is the perfect necklace for me – simple, easy, and personal! Right now, I’m wearing it alone, but I may add my teeny tiny little rose gold star charm from Tina Tang to it for a little something extra & fun.
Ariel Gordon makes all the initials in 14k gold or sterling silver, with or without a diamond, but she also makes other lovely pieces. These are my two favorites:


OMG, the love knot rings are TDF (can you tell I’m getting ready to watch the Rachel Zoe project?? I totally identify with her exclamations LOL)
Some new exclusives for you…

We’ve had a coupon from Akira Chicago for a while now, but lucky for you, they bumped it up to 20% off!! (use code GRECHEN20 for 20% off regularly-priced items).

The long-standing “grechen” coupon code for 20% off at Luna Boston will be expiring on August 24. Unfortunately, more and more designers are requesting that their items be excluded from permanent discount codes, and it is no longer feasible for Luna Boston to continue to offer this code. Stay tuned to Grechen’s Closet and grechenscodes.com though, because we’ll be partnering up with Luna Boston the rest of the year for changing monthly specials and coupons!
In the mean time, use this opportunity to stock up on bags and accessories using the “grechen” code for 20% off. In case you need some ideas on what to buy…
