With autumn comes the new beautiful leaves of change. Back to school and back to business brings a sense of excitement into our lives preparing for the change in the weather and change in activities. We asked our our esteemed advertisers what they could tell us about themselves or their businesses in this new season.

ColeenAndCompany.com
This fall at ColeenAndCompany.com we are looking forward to focusing on rich and regal colors, moss green and aubergine in particular.  A trip to Napa and putting the finishing touches on our new upholstery collection should round out the season nicely.  We are going into the end of the year happy, healthy, and inspired!

Nikki Sedacca
It's "A Sterling September" at Nikki Sedacca The Art of Jewelry. Her TrinaPerlina Cuff interweaves slender sterling wire with a sprinkling of creamy pearls. Wear it with a tailored suit or your favorite shirt and jeans. Like a jabot for the wrist, it's the perfect touch of "lace" for the season.

Pilar Rossi
We just changed the store windows to black gowns with embroideries in Swarovski Crystals, the must have of the fall season. Among the new hot items are party and cocktail short dresses in berries colors. Also very hot for the season are separates and beautiful romantic blouses teaming up with chiffon flare skirts and palazzo pants, all very feminine.

Nazmiyal
Nazmiyal's Khotan rugs and carpets from East Turkestan. 
We at Nazmiyal are excited about Khotan rugs and carpets from East Turkestan. Essentially, Khotans straddle the boundary between Chinese or Tibetan rugs and those of the Middle East. While the main design elements, details, and drawing appear generally Chinese, the composition with central medallions or allover small medallions in rows relates more to Persian, Turkish, and Turkoman rugs from further west.

Ilus
I'm really excited about Fall! As much as it's sad to see summer coming to an end, I love the change of season and it's an exciting time in New York which begins with the US Open and Fashion Week in town. 

Purple is THE color this fall, and our store has brought in gorgeous cocktail dresses and gowns in rich shades of purple, which I'm planning to wear to up-coming events.

Charlotte Moss
Are you changing your store windows? Yes, the store windows are constantly changing. We have just moved from summer in Provence to preparation for Beaujolais Nouveau.

Charlotte’s new home fragrance, Left Bank, from Agraria in September available in the Townhouse and www.charlottemoss.com.
Using any new colors? Shots of persimmon seem to be cropping up and variations of loden and camel.

Did you purchase or plan to purchase any fabulous new additions to your fall wardrobe? Of course; Ralph Rucci, Oscar de la Renta, YSL, Denis Basso, Proenza Schouler and always vintage.

Entertaining guests for a cozy Dinner Party? Cozy is always best, 8 – 10 people and always at home. I will be hosting Andrew Zega and Bernd Dams to celebrate their new book “Architectural Alphabet.” Also: a dinner party celebrating The Lincoln Center’s 50th Anniversary, and other dinner parties, just because.

Is there a new must have item from your store? Charlotte’s new home fragrance, Left Bank, from Agraria in September available in the Townhouse and www.charottemoss.com. And always, new items for entertaining, embroidered linens, glass tumblers – anything for the setting the table, ooh la la – Jasper Flatware

September fo us is the opening of New York’s first green, geothermal condominium on the Upper East Side. 180 East 93rd Street will work to reduce the Carbon Footprint. We tore down three 17-foot townhouses to create a 7-story, 9 Unit Condo.

To get the Geothermal water, we had to drill 50 feet into the bedrock of Manhattan where the water is 55 degrees. It is “Unique Boutique Living.” The condos are on sale now and will be ready for occupancy by summer 2009.

Circa
Circa’s mastermind Chris del Gatto is passionate about two things: precious jewels and polo. One is his business and the other is his pleasure as a poloist.

So he reports: “As the summer polo season draws to a close in the Hamptons, the CIRCA polo team is already hard at work preparing for their November tournament in Argentina!”

Swifty’s
Robert Caravaggio reports: "When Autumn returns to Swifty's, Stephen and I look for the seasonal specials that give a sense of warmth and suggest the holidays to come." 

"This year, game will have more presence on our menu, emphasizing roasts and pot pies, served with our great Burgundies such as Volnay or Gevrey Chambertin from Prosper Maufoux."
