New Decade, New Style

By Nicole Hanratty

Ring in 2010 with these hot new “Skarlettes” (reversible capes with a scarf attached) from Zuriz Dezinz. Handmade and in many cases, one-of-a-kind originals, these gorgeous wraps will warm you or your daughter in style this chilly January winter. You’ll have to drive into the suburbs (or call and beg a store to ship one off to you) to get your hands on one of these gorgeous capes, but it will be well worth your efforts. As one storeowner put it, “The only other place you will find these, is in Italy.”

Meet The Designer

IMG_0397
Shawna, the founder of Zuriz Dezinz, was born with a sense of fashion. As a young girl, she loved to design fashionable clothing for her paper dolls and Barbies as well as fun flip-flops (then called “thongs”) for herself, made from cardboard and fabric scraps.

Living through hard times and wearing clothes donated to charities left on the front door step of her home, Shawna rifled through the bags for things that would fit her and pulled out a dress that she slipped into for church one Sunday morning. While at church, a girl recognized the dress Shawna was wearing as one that she had donated to the “needy.” The girl—too young herself to realize that Shawna’s family was in that category--called Shawna out on it and embarrassed her. Shawna vowed never to let that happen again. She taught herself to sew and began altering the donated clothing in her closet to such an extent that no one would ever recognize what she wore again.

Eat Your Peas
by Nicole Hanratty

Tucked away in the Berkshires in Lenox, Massachusetts is an adorable store that everyone with a little prince or princess should explore. This children’s clothing boutique that opened about a year and a half ago, is a word of mouth gem.

Cynthia Brode, store owner, offers a “variety of cool, unique things for kids.” The exterior is charming, but wander in through the beckoning red door and an exciting parlor waits to be explored. Ms. Brode commented, “My Rock and Roll chef husband, Gordy ...designed the store and I love it. [It is] relaxed and roomy. He wanted a feel of ‘vintage world traveler.’” This passport holder would say he succeeded.
