Sea-green washable silk bolero

Now, back to the really important stuff, about all the glorious colors we're going to have on offer.  In the last post I said we would describe some of the beautiful blues as well as some of the yellows.

When it comes to blues, we have everything from ice blue through royal blue and sea green to navy and on to turquoise  We even have a reversible jacket, navy on one side and red on the other, an absolutely stunning piece to add to your closet and extremely versatile when traveling - four jackets in one! As well as jackets we also have tunics in this color group in WASHABLE silk.

As for the yellows, we have daffodil... sunflower... primrose... buttercream... and gold!  Some of these are also reversible, for example, the buttercream reverses to amethyst, another 4-in-1 jacket.

Black & white polka dot jacket -washable!

And then, of course, we have metallics... blacks and whites... it's really too much to try and describe in a blog post, so the best bet is to come down to the studio, April 14 to 19 and see what we have on offer.

Black & white satin tunic

The Gladstone is a fabulous spot to come and browse around, there is usually lots going on in terms of art shows, there are two bars/restaurants on the ground floor, with entertainment in the evening, so round up some friends and make a day or night out of it!

NB: Due to the nature of this event, it will be CASH sales only and all sales are FINAL.

Creme-de-menthe wool

The count is now on! Our April Trunk Show and Sale starts April 14, 2011, at the Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street West at Dufferin, in Toronto.

We just want everyone to know there will be a huge range of COLORS on offer.

In the greens, we have apple green -  a beautiful 'shot' silk as it's known, with blue highlights... a spring weight wool in creme-de-menthe with black accents... a wonderful Viridian green silk with purple(!) trim... a deep emerald green  4-season wool with a shocking pink trim...

As you can tell, our clothes are not for the timid but for
the fashionista who wants something a little out of the ordinary.

Red satin bolero

And within the red/pink spectrum, we have several
wonderful pieces - remember, each is unique and
there is only one of most styles - we have
a stunning peony silk stroller with black trim...
a scarlet satin bolero with petal trim and pewter accents - pewter
is quite a strong trend in this season's accessories -
an apricot and ivory jacket which offers 3 sleeve length
options in the same jacket...
plus coral and cream,
Chinese red with black and white trim,
peach satin,
a ruby and sapphire iridescent bolero...

(Nearly all our boleros are made from WASHABLE fabrics...)

And what about the blues...? Yellows...? Metallics...?  And blacks and whites...?  Check in for our next blog post, when we'll also be posting the hours we'll be at the Gladstone!
