Designed: Fall 2011 - Tweed Blazers

'Tis the season for wool and tweed.  This look couldn't get any better than the Jil Stuart show for Fall 2011.  I love the mix of autumnal shades.  We are definitely carrying this look in the store via our 1970's collection.  Pair with the berry shades of Bordeaux, Grape, and Wine.

Designed: Fall 2011 - bustiers and head wraps

There are a couple of things that I like about the look from Mara Hoffman's Fall 2011 showcase - 1) the use of turbans and 2) bustiers making a comeback.  This look reminds me of the Borough Vintage styling for the United Way Fashion Show.

We used 1950's bustiers with vintage Guatemalan embroidered skirts and finished the look with vintage silk scarves tied as a head wrap.
