Good morning! I have had many Gretchen Scott frocks in my closet over the years. I love her fun, elegant, chic and beautiful designs. I first discovered them in the Caribbean at the hotel's gift shop and I was immediately smitten with the line. Over the years sure enough they turned up in the most stylish places and I have built my "Gretchen collection" over time. Her things don't go out of style and some I have had for years and years. She sells online, has signature stores in Nantucket, Jupiter, Southampton and think there is one opening in Atlanta, not to mention countless stylish boutiques that carry her line.
I had the good fortune to "meet" Gretchen by chance when she sent in some pictures for my readers Christmas post last year. When I saw the name attached to the pictures, I wrote her asking if she was THE Gretchen Scott, and holy moly, she was! So we corresponded off and on and I had the good fortune to meet and get a personal tour of Gretchen Scott headquarters not too long ago. She graciously showed me around and made me so welcome, I got to spend a few hours there and by the time I left, I felt like we were old friends:) Unfortunately did not bring my camera but managed to snap a few with my iPhone. Her headquarters and design studio are so inviting, cool, beautiful and friendly...I love the vibe, its one great big happy family!
I could happily spend days there.....looking at everything, so much to see!
The big loft like offices where it "all goes down".........
Gretchen is larger than life, full of personality, energy and creativity. I felt such good karma walking into her loft like offices where a group of about 15 work. There are dogs, any kind of pets welcome, if an employee needs to bring their sick child, Gretchen has a crib set up and oodles of space including kids play tables..she is one exemplary boss, smart lady! Happy employees= maximum productivity. Her line is growing and is inspired by her world travels (of which there are many). This is someone who has been to more countries more often than anyone I know, one look at her personal pictures on her website says it all. To know her is to love her.......her energy and enthusiasm for a good and full life is contagious. And of course her talent for designing super chic clothes...........

How can you not feel good in this top!
Adore this Pucci-esque vest, I own it and love it!

I own this very top...love it!
And after a long day....aren't these robes just the cutest and softest thing to slip into! I have owned mine for a few years and its my fave!
It was such fun meeting Gretchen, hearing of her tales, her philosophy on life and her travel stories, her inspirations behind certain collections. A lot of the embroidery and bead work is done in the mecca for such things, India. She has been there many many times and has a love for the country that is so evident. Love her website, besides featuring all of her gorgeous designs, you can follow along with a photo journal of sorts of her world travels (of which there are many)! She refers to herself as having had 100 careers, let me tell you, this is one interesting lady!
