Mark your calendars!  Our Lafayette 148 spring 2010 trunk show is Wednesday, November 18 and Thursday, November 19.  I saw the collection when I was in New York in September.  It looks so great!  Sizing is from 2 – 24.  You definitely won’t want to miss it!  In addition to Lafayette, we will have trunk shows from La Canadienne (boots for immediate delivery) and The Globe Showroom featuring European contemporary collections – Weil, LePhare, Line knitwear and leather.     Also, we will have a Natura Bisse’ facial event – call Amanda or Carol to book your appointment.  It’s the most amazing facial…and it is complimentary with purchase of Natura!  I had one last time Yolanta was in the store – oh my word, you’ll never experienced one this good – heavenly!

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!

Happy New Year!

Have you heard about J Brand’s new style “the boyfriend jean”?  It’s low rise, loose fit, super comfy and the trend for this spring…so guess who needs a pair?  You!  And Me!   We also just received new Vince for spring.  Great for you to take with you on vacation…to a warmer climate.  It looks fab!

Yes, fringe is in this year!  This great leather jacket just arrived – I think I need to own this one  – it is so, so cool!  If you want a little fringe to add to your wardrobe then go the route of accessories, which of course we have!  We have handbags and scarfs with fringe to put your look right on trend.  I love it!!!!

New Arrivals in Contemporary

Fresh pre-fall fashion is arriving at Leigh’s!  New arrivals include some of your favorites and some new names we think you’ll love:  Milly, Eva Franco, Vince, Bailey 44, Nanette Lepore & Tibi.  If you’re not familiar with pre-fall, it doesn’t necessarily mean cashmere sweaters and heavy materials.  Many styles are transitional and would be great for cool summer evenings at the lakeshore.  Hope to see you in the store soon!
