Throwback Thursday...and a contest

Here's a picture from a past Vogue magazine...in celebration of tweed.  In this case, a heavy tweed skirt is paired with a geometric print blouse, and it all looks up to date!

Now, here's the fun part....guess the issue's month and year, and you will win a one yard cut of this beautiful, imported wool boucle tweed to make a skirt of your very own!    First to correctly guess wins.   One guess per customer please. Fabric to be picked up in-store only*.  $49.00 value.

It's not too early for "Pre-Fall"...and the looks are easy

Chloe showed a few Pre-Fall looks with a black and white cheetah print.  Looks fresh and not too animal print-y!  It's easy to get a look like this:

See the whole Chloe Pre-Fall collection on Style.com here.

Get some black geometric lace like this:

Black geometric guipure lace.

And some silk charmeuse with gorgeous cheetah print, like this  (coming soon).

Haute couture pure silk charmeuse, imported from Italy.




Make a classic princess seam shirt, and add long ties.  Then, make a skirt lined with black (or some other color)   Here's a Burda pattern for a floaty, layered hemline:

    

Happy pre-Fall planning!
