Swoon-Worthy Site: The Love Affair

A few weeks ago, I got an email from Geri Williams, the owner of the cutest little New York City-based boutique called The Love Affair.  She asked if I'd want to give shopping with her a whirl ... and when I took a peek at the amazing selection of swoon-worthy baubles, bags and shoes that she has available, it was a no brainer. 

Geri launched The Love Affair in December 2009 to provide edgy, independent shoppers with unique designer products and same day delivery to Manhattan’s fashionable female professionals. Coming from a long retail and sales career in New York’s fashion industry, Geri decided to create The Love Affair to provide customers with those unique hand-picked accessories and outstanding customer service.  The Love Affair offers customers a variety of accessories from niche contemporary brands such as Foley & Corinna, L.A.M.B., nOir, Tarina Tarantino (one of my personal faves!!), Modern Vintage and Rebecca Minkoff, as well as up & coming and local designers such as the headwear line I Love Factory and handbag line ko.des.  Lucky for us girls outside New York City, The Love Affair now delivers beyond New York!

It was so hard to narrow down my choices, but in the end, I picked out some edgy earrings that I knew my sister would love as a thank you for her help with the new house and found this gorgeous oversized ivory disk ring (no longer available - sorry!) for myself.  Aren't they lovely?

I had a hard time narrowing down my selections.  Here are some pretties that I almost snatched up:

Tarina Tarantino Carved Rose Bracelet

Badgley Mischka Xolani Pumps

Matt and Nat Ashberry Wallet

Cynthia Vincent Brea Sandals

by boe Graphite Mesh Necklace

The entire process from browsing to ordering to receiving the goodies was seamless and easy.  I placed the order on a Saturday and received the package on Tuesday.  Even the packaging is divine!

Take a peek at A Love Affair!  I'm sure you will love it and there are always great sales happening, including a Summer clearance right now!  Geri has even offered a sweet discount code to Swoon readers!  Order between now and July 22 and take $10 off your order by entering the code swoon10 at checkout.  How nice!  

Let us know if you decide to order a few things for yourself or for gifties.  I'd love to see what you choose!

See you swoon,

{Note: A Love Affair has not comped us for this post today.  Geri offered a discount code for my first order and sent a sweet lavender fabric tote as a thank you.  However, the provision of these did not influence my review of her company, products and/or customer service.  The thoughts and reviews herein are my own!}
