Sweet Lady Jane is turning 10

design by DaveBarronDesign.com

We have a very special milestone coming up next month - we are turning 10!  To celebrate, we are asking our Sweet Lady Jane friends and family to submit their SLJ memories, favorite outfits or anything that reminds them of Sweet Lady Jane.  We've had some great submissions...

"This is my Favorite Free people dress purchased from Sweet Lady Jane a few years ago, It was my 30th Birthday Surprise Party and the dancing on the bar was toward the end of the night after MANY pomegranate cosmos!! Sweet lady Jane has always been my go to for the perfect outfit for the perfect event in my life... need I say more! :)"

"Happy Birthday SLJ! Thanks for being there to dress me for all the important events in my life! This is a picture from the day my now husband and I got engaged. The green corduroy jacket is by tulle and the jeans are by it jeans. I'm also pretty sure the bag and umbrella are from Trinket."

 

Elizabeth Knight

Here at Sweet Lady Jane, we have a serious Elizabeth Knight obsession.  It has become an addiction for me personally - I want every piece that she comes up with!  Here is a peak at some of her newer pieces - the horn cuff (I own this) and folded chain earrings (we all want a pair).  

Pictured here is the bullet cuff, lion claw ring (I have one on order and Erica owns one) and the hera earrings.  

Here are the hydra earrings (Jess owns these).  We can get them plain or with jeweled eyes!  Hmmm...I might just have to order a pair. 

Happy New Year

One of my favorite things about traveling is packing.  I love going through my books, favorite blogs and notes , to come up with ideal outfits.  And then if all else fails - I just start throwing my favorite pieces in the bag and hope for the best.  This seems to happen all to often...

French Connection show 2012

We had our annual French Connection fashion show this month.  We transformed the store into a mini runway, offered unique pieces that were exclusive for the weekend and brought a slice of NYC fashion to Burlington.

Rachel and Robin

Meet Robin (on the right)!  She is the one responsible for all of our trunk show treasures and is our representative for French Connection.  She literally stopped traffic in those sequin pants.

We had a talented crew behind the scenes; make was done by Makeup by Kirstin, hair was by Hannah Wall and our very own Erica did the styling.  The models were local friends of the shop.

When the show was over, we took the party to the streets.  Here is Jonathan Couture, our talented photographer for the evening, enjoying a moment with the models.  

Coterie and spring 2013

Let's skip winter and go right into spring!  Wouldn't that be great...  Jess and I attended Coterie a few weeks ago and had that exact sentiment.  We were blown away by French Connection, Clover Canyon, Free People, BB Dakota, and our new favorite line, Maison Scotch.  

This French Connection dress will be in my closet.  Oh yeah.  They had some pretty amazing dresses, perfect for weddings and graduation parties.  

Free People was bohemian as ever...
