New Fall dresses & a top from Kelly Lane


The 'Santa Fe' Dress

In May, I wrote some tid-bits about Pittsburgh designer Kelly Lane, about the eco-chic line she has created with vibrant, bold colors and fun textures. For Fall, Kelly's dresses and tops are inspired by the whimsical palettes of carnivals and carousels, particularly the painted horses with their unique jeweled tones. The 'Trot' top below is gorgeous and down-to-earth, with a ruffle accent down the middle adorned with a double-stitch orange detail, and an over-sized turtleneck for maximum coziness this Fall.




Since they arrived in our store a couple days ago, I can't stop thinking about the Southwest. Santa Fe. Red rock, adobe architecture, Native American jewelry and turquoise every where. Enlivening Fall with these bright colors not only brightens your wardrobe and your complexion, but also your mood. It could be the grey and blustery day that's making me think of color retail therapy, but it is more likely that our store looks that much more beautiful and bright with Kelly Lane's dresses in it! Come try them on, as they're immensely flattering. A customer tried on the turquoise 'Harness' dress earlier today, and she was wearing some amazing cowboy boots... and it was pretty much perfect. Her whole look was uplifted by the brilliant turquoise-emerald color, and the graphic accents of color insets flattered her shape perfectly.
