Slimming fit--look one size smaller!

WE love the newly arrived denim from Canada, by Lola.   These are the perfect fit denim - for all body types and figures.  With 2% spandex, they stretch and hold where necessary creating a slimming silhouette that looks like you've gone down a whole size!

You can find these Lola jeans at the boutique, "It's Just Your Style" on Sutter St. in Historic Folsom.  We offer 2 different styles:

skinny leg, dark blue wash
boot cut, black wash

Sizes 2 - 18

The big apple

BIG APPLE Retail Therapy

I just returned from a whirl wind tour of NYC.  4 nights/4 days of non-stop Big Apple, Big Fun!  New York is truly larger than life itself.  Along with the usual NYC gotta do things--of course, there was a lot of shopping.  Some boutiques were off the charts expensive, and some were very reasonable.

The most impressive thing that I learned about fashion in NYC, was that people really do take it more seriously -- no flip flops and t-shirts.  Everywhere you go, people are dressed for success--both men & women.  It's part of the culture & community.

Here's what I saw the most of:

• BOOTS!  All styles, all types---everyone wears boots!  
• SCARFS!  Worn by both men & women.  All styles, colors, etc.  
• DRESSES!   Great with boots.  Lots of dresses.

Of course, there was Tiffany's for a little guilty pleasure shopping!

Can't wait for my next trip to the Big Apple!

Fashion Show update

If you did not make our semi-annual Power of Pink event, here's what you missed:  

Fabulous retail therapy!  There were numerous different vendors that had really great products.  Everything from clothing, jewelry & handbags, to baked goods.  I was impressed with the selection, variety, and prices---I found most people offered really affordable products.

*The Italian Biscotti baker was one of my faves.  Home baked Italian Biscotti's and Italian fudge---you can't buy this at the grocery store and I'm sure not going to bake it myself.  I brought home a selection for family.  What a treat.

Appetizers and Wine!  Kathy Jesmont, the creator of this event, always puts out a yummy array of appetizers & desserts.  I loved the pita bread and hummus.  Grocery Outlet was there again giving out samples of wine.  They offer a variety of wines to sample and are very generous.  Then, there are the desserts...I can only say, they looked fabulous and I'm sure they were, because by the time I decided to have a taste, most were gone.  Next time, I'll hit the dessert table earlier.  (Anyway, I had already had quite a few of the Italian bakers samples--so I really didn't need dessert!)

Raffles and Auctions!    There were so many prizes to consider--wonderful items from the vendors and other retail businesses.  It was fun choosing my fave items and hoping to win!  Too bad, I did not win, but it's all for a great cause, so it was fun anyway

Fashion Show Entertainment!  The final draw for the night was our Fashion Show.  I got to emcee this event and had a blast doing it.  Our models were from the group "Circle of Models" and I can't say enough how spectacular they were.  The feedback from everyone was tremendous & I know for sure we'll be doing this again.

Albie Aware Fundraising!  The night benefited this wonderful local organization, Albie Aware, who provides resources for Breast Health services to women who don't have insurance or funds to get the services they need.  So, if YOU know anyone who's not getting their annual exams because their insurance ran out, or they don't have the money, etc----Albie Aware can assist them to get the testing (mammograms, etc) that they need.  Don't wait, do it now!

Here are a few pictures from the Fashion Show.  Mark your calendar- Oct 3, the next Power of Pink event.

Fashion Show - Save the Date, May 30

Join us for our spring event, benefiting Albie Aware, a local breast cancer services organization, providing diagnostic testing to all women.  There is an obscene about of money going into breast cancer research, and that's great, but in reality Mammograms are still our best defense against breast cancer.   Albie Aware provides free services to women in need.  Early detection through mammograms and other diagnostic testing is a women's best defense and our only real option at this point.  Support this wonderful organization.

Tickets at the door, $6.  With your ticket you'll have an evening of entertainment that includes Appetizers, Wine Tasting, Dessert, Shopping from a variety of vendors, Raffle prizes,  and a very special Fashion Show.

We're putting together unique, fun looks from the boutique and I can't wait for the models to hit the runway.

Bring your girl friend, sister, mother, neighbor.  It's a fun evening for a wonderful cause.

CLOSET CLEAN-UP!

SPRING CLOSET CLEAN-UP!

Here's a little inspiration from a great classic 

Sex in the City episode.

Are you ready for Spring?

It's time to make room--out with the old, in with the new.

Make room for new spring styles:

• florals
• bold color blocking
• lace embellishments

H&M Sweden, introduced these "normal" sized mannequins, size 6 and size 10.  The average Canadian women is a size 12.

I'm lucky, in that being tall, my real size deceives most people.  But truly, I'm no size 2 or 4 or 6 or even 8!  (well, sometimes on a Great day - I might be an 8 )  Why do we continue to beat ourselves up over impossible images and perceptions about what size we are?

I applaud H&M for taking such a bold stand in the retail world.  I've always loved their sense of fashion and now I can enjoy them even more, knowing that they "get" it.

Thank you H&M.  Now, who's next to take this stand?  Step right up.
