Jewel Box Tour: Alexis Frankel (Renaissance Woman)

Alexis is one of those women every one of us needs to have as a friend. Whip smart, incredibly generous, thoughtful and honest, she will get your back, prop you up, do you a solid, all the while looking the very essence of a modern urban-luxe-sophisticate.. A classicist by training, Alexis spends her days translating ancient Roman texts and tutoring students of all ages. She is also the go-to person when you need to find that special something - a bauble, a bag, the perfect AG jeans, from this season or last. She is a whiz at locating and sourcing the impossible finds. Were she not a brilliant scholar, she would be a personal shopper with uncanny super powers and style to spare. Always the best dressed woman in the room, whether it is a Carnegie Hall recital or an afternoon of shopping on Rittenhouse, Alexis, is a style icon in her own right.

Jewel Box Tour: Sara Goodwin (Saint in Training)

Sara is one of those people who you can't help loving, the kind of gal we feel pretty darned lucky to be able to call a friend. And, lucky too, that she is an Ilsa Loves Rick fan. Our first and most loyal customer, a generous ambassador for our line and a style icon. I would describe her as a cross between Grace Kelly and Ali Mc Graw in Love Story. You are as likely to see her at Tiffany's as you would Calypso on Hudson Street. Most days though she is doing the yeoman's work of the world, teaching kids about literature, and life and helping to know themselves in an increasingly confusing world - a saint in training.
