The lovely Simone stopped by with a fashion week emergency... Luckily she was able to find something fabulous including this beautiful hand dyed scarf ($15)
Look! Kristy is helping and sharing!!!! Faye a first timer to collecther and long time friend of kristy actually arrived a 1/2 an hour earlier than her to scope out the spot before kristy arrived....

collecther private label

Whenever I get the opportunity to sew... I'm always excited and sad at the same time... This dress (collecther private label) wasn't even in the window a good 5 minutes before it was sold! Exciting yes! Sad because I can only make but so much. Thanks to small production this style and a few others will be the first of many in my private collection for spring.... I'll keep you posted!

Spring Tip of the Week: The Tortoise and the Cheetah

This spring please dont be afraid to rock a patterned tight with peep toe heels, especially t-strapped... herribone, animal print, fishnet, even colored opaque tights are quite cute... A combination of patterns are great fun to dress up a solid color scheme... These tortoise shell pumps with the cheetah print tights are classy, sexy, and fun....

I want to look this good when I'm pregnant! Shaenna looks radiant...(fuscia cowl neck dress $60 collecther private label)

Tams and Bows

The girls look great... If you a style adventurer, dont be afraid to try this combination. Wife Beaters or off the shoulder tops and blouses really work well with this combination

Classic Style Twisted

Krista chose black and blue as her pallete. This cardigan over the cowl neck blouse with dk denim high waisted jeans is a great era clash... Classic and funky are made very functional... This evening clutch works with the mix quite well.

Spring Tip of the Week

This spring, please do hot pink heels with yellow... It's just cute. Tuck those blousey blouses into a high waisted skirt and keep it moving.
OC "Original Collecther" Moira bought this coat and scarf in my apartment before I had the store... She believed in my dreams.... It always good to see my original customers stop through....

For everyone's information Kristy a member of the top tier collecther club. (SHE KEEPS LIGHTS ON.) She is a patron of fine things and is very sensitive about anyone other than herself shopping at the store...
