The Legging….

The trend that we saw in all areas of the market for fall was the legging.  It was paired with tunics, oversized sweaters, jackets, t-shirts….anyway you like it, it was there!  We love the legging and will have lots of options for you this fall….even a little leather!  To get you started, we have brought in some light weight leggings for you to wear now – which we have pictured above with cute tanks from Alice + Olivia.  Honestly, I can’t wait  to get my leggings…I’m going to be comfy, cozy and fashionable the whole season long!

We were in NYC last week checking out resort collections for delivery October – December.  Above is a picture of me at the Cole Haan showroom.  If you’re looking at beautiful merchandise, you might as well have some fun with it.  And, of course, I can be a big ham if need be!  Also, double top secret, but I am going to share with you…we are bringing 3.1 Phillip Lim into our store starting in November.  You’re going to love it!  The rest of our buy will have to remain under wraps so that you have some surprises when you come to see us!

Oliver stopped by Leigh’s with his mom, Neva Hundley, last week to see the Pamella Roland collection.  He was such a good boy during his visit.  You can only imagine that with his charm and winning personality, he was not lacking for attention from any of our team members or customers!!!  Look how cute he is!

Leigh’s was rockin’ last night! We had Laura Mercier’s Face to Face event going strong with some of Laura’s premier artists. Joe DeVries had hoppin’ with music.

Steve was here from Bar Divani making fabulous drinks. We had models showcasing looks from Pamella Roland’s fall 2009 collectioin. Designer Pamella DeVos made a personal appearance. It was so much fun!!! We all stayed late and had a blast! We love our customers and we were so happy to see all the new faces in our store….welcome!

Shop Locally!

May 26, 2009 by Rebecca

Deb Clark was in Birmingham over the weekend and stopped by a few specialty stores.  As she was discussing that she is a buyer for a locally owned specialtiy store on the West side of the state, one of the owners gave her a handout.  The handout was a reprint of letter/article written by the publisher of Styleline:  Metro Detroit’s Guide to Fashion, Beauty and Home. It was a very compelling piece and I would like to share it with you.

Live Here?  Shop Here.

Dear StyleLine Reader:

A local store that you absolutely love is fighting for its life.

Which store? Take your pick.  Virtually every business in metro Detroit has been tattered by this economy.  Some have packed it in.  Others now teeter on the brink.

The power to restart the world’s economy rests in the hands of politicians, bankers, investors and economists.  But saving your favorite local retailer? That’s something you can do.

Before you fly off to New York or Naples for a weekend getaway or a family vacation, do your shopping here.  The clothing, jewelry, art and accessories from metro Detroit’s outstanding providers will be every bit as fabulous.  Actually, the things you buy here are considerably more fabulous because they breathe life into the businesses that employ our neighbors, support us with their taxes and their charitable giving, and maintain the rich flavors of choice in our downtowns and shopping malls.

Instead of making your next purchase on the road, or online, please make it at that local store that you love.

Sincerely,

Dale D. Parry

Ellen Taylor from the Todd Chance Radio Show on 105.3 HotFM came to see us at Leigh’s today. Carol Slomp gave her a fabulous make-over using Laura Mercier cosmetics. Ellen loved her “smokey eye” that Carol created. It was so great to have her in our store – she is upbeat, fun and has the most gorgeous skin known to mankind! Ellen is the voice on our new radio commercial we are airing for our Laura Mercier “Face to Face” make-up event on May 28 & 29. She wanted to come in and check out the product herself. She was loving it….we all knew she would! Make sure to schedule your appointment for the event. We have 4 of Laura’s premier artists, so book with your girlfriends!
