Fall?! I know, I know but all of these fabulous fall fashion shows are making me crave next seasons clothes! I'm going to try to use what I have now to emulate the look for next fall (and breathe some life into my tired winter wardrobe). One of the major trends was leather and fur. I think that this cape looks like something that Charlotte would make...I could rock it with my leather BB Dakota dress. Are you listening Charlotte? xoxox
Some of you may have noticed that we have a new web site thanks to Dave Barron. We thought it would be fun to get some images for us to use on the site. On Monday night, we had Miss Teen Vermont USA, Miss Vermont USA, Mica, Kat and Lola come in to model for us.
We did three different looks: fresh (navy, white, yellow), natural (casual, neutral tones), and dark (edgy, black, leather, denim). Kirstin did a fantastic job on the makeup. The shot above is from the natural look.
A very special thanks to Brett Lupfer for the great pictures, Erica for the artistic direction, Ginny for all the support, and to the models, who froze their butts off in the basement.
I spent the last few days in NYC, attending the Coterie show. It was massive. I spent most of the first day at French Connection and I went to Free People first thing Monday morning. Their booth was fabulous.
I loved the display/seating area. The larger booth size also made it a very comfortable work environment.
Here is Lindsey, my favorite Free People fashionista. She is the sweetest...you can also see more insider pictures of the Free People booth by clicking here.
This was an exciting week...our customers and Sweet Lady Jane backed an up and coming designer, Charlotte of Isobel & Cleo. Charlotte is a former employee that is one of 16 semi-finalists in the Charleston Fashion week.
She needed to raise the necessary funds to produce her line and get her to the show. Our customers generously donated $720 and Sweet Lady Jane matched the donations!
I would love to share some of her work but I don't want to give anything away! I will post some of the work in progress, when it closer to the show (March 22-26th). Knit your heart out Charlotte! xoxoxo
Our good friend and photographer, Brett Lupfer, introduced us to Lauren Carter, Miss Vermont USA, a few weeks ago. She needed some pictures for her portfolio and borrowed some pieces from Sweet Lady Jane. The day of the shoot, there was a huge snowstorm and I thought for sure that they would have called it off. But like a true Vermont woman, she made it and this is one of the pictures from the shoot. You would never know that a blizzard was happening outside.
p.s. she is wearing all French Connection.
One of these years, I will get to go to NY Fashion week. In the mean time, I make believe I am there by stalking Style.com. I love to see the street shots and what everyone is wearing. This is picture from Tommy Ton and do you see what I see?! The woman on the left is slinging a giveaway bag from Free People!
We found so many great things this trip...it's hard to remember them all. Paper Wings is always a favorite. Simple great design mixed with edgy touches.
