Buyer's Top Sale Picks, Part Two
Since tomorrow's the last day of the "Extra Pretty" sale and so many things from the previous list have sold out now, I thought I would share some more not-to-be-missed deals on my favorite styles in-store.
As people are traveling more and the weather gets wackier, adaptable clothing options are more and more appealing. If you're like me, always searching for a way to integrate your Summer and Winter wardrobes, the Rylan Scarf Sweater is just the sort of piece you need. It is made of a lightweight and stretchy mercerized cotton (that wee bit of sheen keeps it looking "neat") and is high on the cool-factor with it's long drapey cowlneck scarf, but can work well with a variety of styles. I can see it over wispy floral dresses, or with wool trousers and an overcoat. This one is an easy fit but I like the look best when sizing up. Originally $187.00, Extra Pretty price $104.72.
I'm almost afraid to bring this one to your attention, because we only have 2 left in the store and I've grown very attached to them. Sometimes we have little funerals here to bid adieu to beloved friends like the Fleur Wood Vera Dress, so if you become the lucky new owner of one of these, please love it and adore it as much as I do! This is another style that I think works well year round. It's not going to keep you warm in the dead of Winter or anything but the color makes it perfectly adaptable to the shorter days of the year. Add some tights, a scarf and jacket, and voila! Of course it is also a perfectly lovely Summer dress as exhibited by Zooey Deschanel when she wore it on the cover of Lucky Magazine. Originally $338.00, with Extra Pretty price $189.28.
The Bon Ton Blouse has been one of my favorites of the season. I think the red deco-inspired print is so sweet and the styling on this piece is very 1920's Paris with a touch of Bohemia by way of Morocco. It's a pullover style with unique seaming detail edged in the prettiest white crochet trim. As special as it is, I think this one should be worn for everyday with a pair of jeans. Originally $215.00, with Extra Pretty discount $85.60.
This is a new Tucker style for SS 08 and I'm continually amazed by how Gaby Basora is constantly able to dream up these super-flattering, unfussy, feminine, yet simple styles. The Cami Dress has tiny straps and the front and back are gathered onto them like a drawstring which allows you to adjust the amount of coverage. Shows off the back and décolleté beautifully making you look like a ballet dancer. Plus, I think if you wear this one over a slim black turtleneck, with a cardigan and some simple heels, you will look like a super cool 70s librarian. Originally $298.00, with Sale Price $119.20.
Rudsak always hits the nail on the head. The leathers are always just as they should be--truly luxurious feeling, with a rich sheen, never a cheap shine, substantial and soft. The style details are always cool and well-thought out too, rather than superfluous. Here we have a beautifully executed short trench with a very flattering cut, removable Obi-style leather belt, and removable leather sleeves for versatility. Originally $413.00, with discount $231.36.
If Le Train Bleu had it's own line of clothing, I hope it would be very akin to Eskell, with a combination of unique prints, vintage detailing, and modern simplicity. A perfect example: The Savon Dress. There is a beautiful silk "charm" print at the shoulders, 2 rows of pearl buttons down the front, and the dress is black, something you'll get a lot of wear out of, but in an usual gauzy type of fabric. Originally $312.00, Extra Pretty price $174.40.
