We loved watching the 2013 Golden Globes last night hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (didn’t they do an AMAZING job)?  Last night, we saw lots of RED on the red carpet and stars certainly upped the amp of the glam factor with their floor sweeping ballgowns this year.  The looks were kept natural by understated makeup and fresh looking faces - notice - lots of bare and nude lips.  We loved the old Hollywood silhouettes of the statement-making gowns.  But, even paired with jaw-dropping jewels, our favorite looks seemed to emanate an effortless elegance.

Highland Park Village’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kersten Rettig, noted Kate Hudson and Jodie Foster to be a few of her favorites.  And, Highland Park Village’s Senior Marketing Manager, Rachel Michell, mentioned Katherine McPhee, Claire Danes, and Jennifer Lawrence (to name a few) of her favored looks. What were your picks when it comes to last night’s top looks? It was wonderful to see some of our favorite Highland Park Village stores like- Carolina Herrera, Chanel, and Stella McCartney - shining on the red carpet as well!

According to Kiehl’s (And Vogue) Copper is the New Gold

By Highland Park Village in Shopping No Comments

 

Kiehl’s new Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream is on Vogue’s Beauty Hot List for 2013.  The key ingredient?  Copper.  According to Kiehl’s “copper can help form, protect and strengthen elastin, serve as a protective antioxidant, and improve the skin’s moisture barrier.”  The inclusion of copper in the skin cream helps improve the Wrinkle Reducing Cream’s effectiveness as the element allows the cream to penetrate the skin’s layers more deeply - and faster.  Read more on Vogue.com here and visit our Kiehl’s boutique to try out the cream for yourself!

Karl Lagerfeld To Host Chanel Fashion Show In Dallas

By Highland Park Village in Fashion No Comments Tags: , , , , , ,

Yes, you read it correctly. Mr. Lagerfeld himself (Chanel royalty) announced that he plans to host a fashion show in Dallas. To him, it’s the best fit to follow the recent pre-collection show he held in Scotland this past December.

So, what made Karl Lagerfeld choose Dallas as the next spot? “To do the opposite, next time, in a year, I will go to Dallas,” said Lagerfeld. “You know why? First of all, I love Texas. I love Texans. There’s another reason. When Chanel reopened, the French press was beyond nasty. The only press that understood it immediately was the American press - so I think it’s a nice thing to go there.”

To learn more about the show and why we shouldn’t expect to see a memoir from this esteemed fashion designer, check out the full article on the British Vogue website here.

It’s A Bright Spring With Ann Ross of Leggiadro

By Highland Park Village in Style Card No Comments Tags: , ,

Chair print - Leggiadro

It was a true pleasure to catch up with Leggiadro designer Ann Ross on her recent visit to her Highland Park Village boutique!  Here’s the scoop on spring with Leggiadro.  The company is known for their beautiful array of custom and colorful prints!
S&S:    How did you come to own your own store? How many stores do you have total?
Ann Ross:

a. It was a lifelong dream since I was a child to own my own store. I always aspired to be a designer. Right now we have a total of 13 locations. I wanted to create a line that has a purpose. Clothes that have longevity. I love 15-20 year old pieces that you can put something new with and make a new outfit. I am all about timeless pieces in your wardrobe.
b.      My design is classic with a little kick. Something that is interesting for the customer that doesn’t really need anything. I like to create pieces of clothing that will fit in multiple people’s lifestyle.
c.       Your clothing must be comfortable. So many women travel and want to be comfortable while sitting on planes. The clothing items need to travel well. Items you can simply dress up and down.
d.      The most important thing I believe I do is listen to what customers want. What they like and don’t like. You can learn so much by just simply listening.

 


Brown Zebra - Leggiadro

S&S:       What is your most prized possession?

Ann Ross: Daisy my mini Labradoodle. She is a cinnamon/pumpkin color.  Wherever I go she goes with me. She even flies with me when I travel. I am stopped constantly by people asking what breed she is and where I got her. I recommend her fabulous breeder to everyone! Daisy is constantly with me either at home, at the office, or in our stores.

Leggiadro - Houndstooth

S&S:  What do you learn from your customers?
Ann Ross:    I love to listen to my customers! One customer explained to me how she really loves sequins and how we had incorporated that into a few past clothing items. This year, I have three different types of sequin sweaters. I even designed a print t-shirt with sequins. I believe these are items that people can quickly pair with pants and a scarf. One of my favorite pieces we had was a gorgeous cashmere blazer. Absolutely loved it!

S&S:     Who is your favorite designer? Or what is your favorite inspiration?
Ann Ross:  I definitely admire Bill Blass. He was an incredible American designer. He just understood what the American women wanted in clothing items. I also love Prada, Lanvin and of course -  Chanel.

Leggiadro- Classic Animal

S&S: Do you have a favorite artist? We know you love to display certain pieces of artwork in you stores.
Ann Ross:   I really like Bob Kane. I am a very big collector of his. I have multiple pieces from him throughout most of my stores and in my own home. I enjoy his use of colors and unique style. Most of his pieces are from scenes south of France. Locations from Capri and Venice are in a lot of his artwork.
S&S:   Do you have a favorite time period of fashion?

Ann Ross: 60’s and 70’s.
