FINALLY we can have the La Petite Robe trunk show THIS WEEK! The samples will be here on Thursday from 12-7, Friday from 12-6, and Saturday from 12-5. If you do not remember what they looked like, scroll down to the picture below. They come in lots of colors, and there are lots of styles. This company makes very sexy, very flattering dresses and separates so if you were lucky enough to get one before, you know what I am talking about. The bottoms are all stretch spandex so you do not have to wear spanx. I really wish I had invented those by the way.
You may have noticed that on the above notice I put Friday’s hours from 12-6 because I cannot say for sure that I will be here at 11 as I am of course watching the wedding. I am not coming in until I know they are in Buckingham Palace, eating lunch, and not coming out on the balcony again. I am old school, I admit it, but I watched Diana’s and I have to watch Kate’s. If for nothing else then to see the DRESS! (I am, after all, in the fashion business.) Let’s face it, most of you are going to get up at 5 to watch everyone come in with the service at 6 even if it is not cool to admit it. For those of you over the top like me, and I admit totally that I am, you can see the program the night before. Google Kate Middleton or Buckingham Palace and it will pop up. By the way I put all of these emails on my website blog and I will write up a fashion summary of the fashions on Friday when it is all over. If any of you know what the Queen has in her purse, let me know and I will include that information. (I just happened to be in London on the 50th anniversary of V-E Day and got to see Diana, the kids, every head of state, etc and the Queen, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother all came out on the balcony at the exact time they did 50 years before. That balcony is off a room presumably and there have got to be a FEW servants in a 775 room house to hold things, or a chair or something to put your purse down on, but nope, there she was with that purse on her arm.) So you have to figure there is something in there other than a lipstick.
Now back to more store news. I will be getting more Sun Kim this week and I have linen pants in from Planet in black, white, and charcoal gray. They are very nice as they are pull on and have a little detail at the bottom. Great to wear with a sweater or a tee on a hot day in July, or TODAY. It is supposed to be 90. I can see where you might get tempted to wear white bottoms on a day like today, but the fashion police are out in droves I am sure.
If you need a chiffon shawl to wear over a dressy dress I have them in black, white and Valentino red trimmed in satin for only $70. Also if anyone wants a really great tank dress in black that you can layer anything over, I have a few left from Kedem. It is a really good dress that would fit anyone.
Don’t forget Mother’s Day is next week so stop in to get your mom something special this year. There are lots of great things starting at just $40!
I am open on Saturday so that you can see the dresses from La Petite Robe.
Hope you have a great week and enjoy the weather and how really beautiful this city looks.
