New: 100% Cashmere!



This supple sweater will certainly be the comfiest piece in your winter wardrobe, but nobody will guess that, with how elegantly it wears! The deep "V" neckline of this chocolate-colored cashmere begs for a long chain or beautiful beaded necklace as accompaniment. For a night out, belt the sweater over a form-fitting pencil skirt, or pair it with skinny jeans and knee-high boots for a casual, yet sophisticated look at a holiday party. This sweater will be worn again and again, and stay with you for many snowy seasons to come. Enjoy! ($328).

The "Catherine" is Back...






With all the bulky outerwear this season making us feel larger-than-life (and perhaps not in the good way), its nice to peel-off all the extra layers to reveal the shapely body underneath.
The "Catherine," a classic A.Cheng design, helps battle the bulk with an elegant, curve-friendly shape that is light and feminine, yet wholly appropriate for the winter months.
In classic black and vibrant plum, with duel front pockets and a chic boat neck, the Catherine ($275) is a winter wardrobe essential.

Rediscovering the Chelsea Boot




Like all good things in life, the Chelsea Boot in classic black, availabe now at A. Cheng for $115, only gets better with age. Made by MaraisUSA, it is the perfect transition footwear from summer to fall, and even into the winter.

Originally created for horseback riding, then developed into an all-purpose bootie for on-the-go, Victorian era women, and coming back en vogue during the 1960’s, the Chelsea Boot has been reinvented continuously to fit the times.

Today, the Chelsea Boot caters to an epoch where we cannot compromise function for style (or visa versa). The Chelsea is an elegant, ankle boot that can easily be dressed up or down. Stop into A.Cheng to try on a pair!

"Fall" for Cashmere




This week marks the first official days of fall! We may be experiencing a bit of Indian summer, but the chilly nights insist that the change in season is truly upon us. It is time to fill our wardrobes with the woolen tights and cozy knits of autumn.

Although the age-old adage suggests that, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” I would have to argue that Cashmere, in fact, is what every woman genuinely needs. You’ll have to agree, this fall, our selection of buttery cashmere sweaters serve as the perfect cold-weather covering. Take a look:

This season, Alice Cheng brings back our popular Zip Hoodie, the "Stevie," updated this season to be even more essential, in 100% cashmere. The “Stevie” can be paired with a skirt and boots for a funky take on the fall cardigan, or with a fitted tee and jeans to add a touch of distinction to the everyday, on-the-go outfit. The “Stevie” is currently available at A.Cheng in a brilliant ‘eggplant,’ and soon to arrive in ‘moss’ and ‘charcoal.’

In addition, our collection of cashmere sweaters by Korean-born designer, Demy Lee, features a myriad different styles and shapes. However, the sizes are moving quickly! Made from all inner-Mongolian goats, these delicate sweaters in stripes and solids are too good to pass up. Visit the store to snag the last sizes in this fabulous cashmere line, or call to reserve!

Taking a spin on the traditional wool sweater, Julie Park has designed a sleek cashmere poncho for her label, JPark. With a dramatic boat-neck and button detailing down the back, this poncho is a beautiful piece that can be dressed up or down.

Stop into A.Cheng, today, to check out our stunning cashmere and other fall favorites. You don’t want to be left out in the cold when autumn finally hits!

For Mother's Day...






a nice surprise breakfast in bed is always lovely...maybe something delicious like the strawberry croissants from Joyce bakery with some nice strong coffee...then a leisurely shower ( with the kid(s) conveniently out on errands with Papa...maybe even food shopping for pantry basics like milk and eggs so that you don't have to lug groceries and kids around? The cherry on top of the sundae would be a little brown box with something along the lines of these beauties to make it the BEST MOTHER'S DAY EVER!
dangles hoops $78, turquoise hoops $70, various keys to her heart from $72 to $ 96.00...all goldfilled.
