This is trade show season and I'm on my second trip of the year to NYC. This trip is for the gift show - one of my favorite shows. It's the most like "real" shopping because it has everything there - jewels, stationary, design, lighting, furniture... They also really take it the next level in their displays. I mean you have to to, the gift show is the entire Javitis Center and a section of the piers! You really have to shine to catch a buyers eye.
After nearly killing my feet at the Intermezzo show, I decided to take it easy/casual at this one. There is a lot of walking ahead of me. I packed simple, easy outfits and shoes that are feet friendly. I also have my flat boots as a back-up.
I also hope to get some personal shopping in. I just got this jacket from French Connection and I need some pieces to go with it. I'm off to the show!
So it appears that I'm either ahead of the game or one step behind - depending on how you look at things. The above announcement is from Kate Spade and no doubt has been planning the year of pattern way before I announced my pattern mixing goal. I will be strong and push ahead. I have to admit that I have so far been unsuccessful in my attempts. I had serious intentions of mixing patterns for my recent buying trip to NYC. But the shoe/hurting feet situation combined with the fact that every single woman at the shows seemed to decide to bust out her animal print, I opted for some old standbys.
My latest love is neon! Again, I may be one step behind but it will be new to Burlington.
Here's to a great New Year and I am so thankful for the one that just past. I had a great time wearing something that sparkled for the entire month of December. I had no idea that I owned that much bling! It also forced me to be more creative in my dressing which created some great outfits. I might have to try another themed month.
I think I might try mixing patterns for the next themed dressing. What do you think?
We have a great year planned at Sweet Lady Jane. We hope to spend it with you and help you obtain your fashion goals!
Happy Holidays from your pals at Sweet Lady Jane! With Christmas behind us, we're looking forward to ringing in the new year. Do you have your holiday sparkle yet?! We have a lot of great pieces left and they're all on sale! Let's ring in 2012 in style!
Are you looking for that hard to buy for person? May we suggest a themed Santa character? Just kidding - who the hell buys these?! Can you imagine a collection of these themed Santa's?
We're in the middle of the crazy shopping festivities. I have to say that people seem prepared this year and on top of their game. That can all change this week...and I might need to borrow some of that Santa tequila.
Happy Thanksgiving and with it being over - the holiday madness begins! This year seems more rushed than ever. Stores opening at midnight on Thanksgiving eve? Pretty soon, we won't even remember what Thanksgiving was. I just want to say that I am thankful to have a good job that I love, a great staff that works very hard to bring style to Burlington and wonderful customers that allow us to do what we love.
Nicolette and I collaborated on the holiday windows this year. They turned out amazing - not surprising because she is a very talented person. I love the rain/snow clouds...
The holiday tree arrived on the Marketplace today! Nothing like a big fluffy tree to get you in the holiday mood. Another spirit lifter is the Mirror Mirror annual holiday party.
It was last night and it was fabulous. What girl doesn't love drinks, make-up and good friends? I did a little gift shopping and got an amazing nail shellac. Some of the SLJ staff got makeovers and then they were off to the midnight showing of Twilight.
Rachel and I headed to Flatbread, after a quick shoe change - 5 inch heels and Flatbread, I don't think so. A big thank you to the wonderful staff at Mirror Mirror and a BIGGER thank you for the swag bag! WOW!
