2012 HOT Color: Tangerine!

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Pantone is considered one of the leading authorities on color trends and it recently announced its “2012 Color of the Year” Tangerine Tango.  Katie knows this bright, cheery color also pairs well with neutral or more sober, darker hues.  Just looking at it makes you think of spring!

The Knit Wit has already started to receive lots of pieces in this hot, orangey color and pretty variations:

Equipment sleeveless silk blouse in apricot.

 

 Equipment Polka Dot Blouse.

 

Autumn Cashmere scarf, photographed at the Knit Wit in Center City.

 

Splendid tie-dyed t-shirt.

 

Alexander Wang sleeveless top.

 

Marika Charles sweater and scarf.

Today, Philadelphia Magazine‘s Emily Goulet writes about Tangerine Tango in her weekly e-newsletter, The Goods.  Delivered each Friday to your inbox, it’s a must-read for those who love to shop!

Katie Loves Halston Heritage

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Katie knows that Halston (born Roy Halston Frowick)  is one of America’s most iconic fashion designers.  Best known for designing Jacqueline Kennedy’s famous pillbox hat and long, fabulous dresses perfect for the 1970′s discos, this beloved artist died more than 20 years ago.  But fashionistas have cheered the new Halston Heritage line, created in 2008 by Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon and Rachel Zoe.  Lucky us, the legend continues!

And the Knit Wit and Plage Tahiti are my favorite boutiques with the best selection of Halston Heritage in the region!
