Have you spotted the latest spring revival? Big cuffs! Katie knows you’ve rocked this look before and for good reason! It’s a super cute way to wear your spring denim.

Heidi always makes it look effortless:

What I Bought at Knit Wit Today

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

I stopped by the Center City Knit Wit today to peruse the latest and greatest for spring. After a lovely picnic lunch (sandwiches from Metropolitan Bakery – yum!) with my gorgeous sister Kerry in Rittenhouse Square, we couldn’t help but pop into the store to pick out a few new items from the back room.

You’ve seen the Center City fashionistas starting to rock bright-colored denim. Here’s wear to find the best selection! AG, Closed, J BRAND and more. You also need a fresh pair of white jeans and some sweet new t’s for summer:

Perfect Pants for Spring

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

Katie knows you’re excited to shed layers this spring and start wearing the pretty pastel, floral, color blocking and maxi skirts and dresses you’ve been buying for next season. Aside from the fear of showing pale legs, I love walking down Walnut Street in a pretty spring dress when the warm breezes begin. But when I visited the Knit Wit last week, I freaked over the amazing new pants for spring 2012.

Colored denim was big last autumn with darker hues like eggplant colored denim from J BRAND and we are seeing that trend carry through spring 2012 with brighter colors.

Ramy Brook makes sexy, flattering silk tops for women. These pants are silk heaven and so chic. Paired with a Michael Stars crochet-esque top.

Keeping with the black and white trend, these new A.L.C. wide cropped pants paired with a Ramy Brook one-shoulder and Paul Smith hat.

Stop by the Knit Wit this week to try these on and check out more fab pants for spring!

Katie

The NEWEST Perfect-Fit Jeans for Autumn

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

It can be hard to find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly.  But with September approaching, you best be prepared with some new denim.  Some of my favorites for the upcoming season:

Kate Middleton wearing J BRAND 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg in Navy Twill.

 

J BRAND 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg  in aubergine (deep plum) is my newest pair for fall.

 

 

The new Mrs. Humphries wearing 7 For All Mankind Pocket Fit Flare Jeans.

One of the fall trends KNIT WIT and PLAGE TAHITI owner and head buyer Ann Gitter is talking about is bell bottom, boot cut jeans that are thin through the thighs. 

Like the J BRAND 1119 Bailey Jean.

Cameron Diaz in AG The Stilt jeans.  A lighter, distressed denim – great with flats!

 

All of these brands and many more amazing denim lines are available at KNIT WIT and PLAGE TAHITI.  Plus, the professional stylists at the stores will ensure you get the perfect fit from their endless selection!

 

Katie knows that every day there are ill-advised women who wear denim all wrong.  Let’s learn from their mistakes.

Two-Sizes Too-Small: the dreamer.  I don’t care how much it may pain you to look at the size on the tag, do not buy a small pair of jeans just to feel better about your waistline.  Katie knows you should buy the right size instead of your dream size (and the “right size” is different for all of us).

Oh-No Too-Low: the delusional.  I don’t care how hot you think you look, if I can see any part of your stomach rolling across the top of your jeans you’ve made a major life mistake.  Katie knows that low-rise jeans are not for everyone.  All women have a natural waistline: flatter it!

Ye Old Jeans: the outdated.  I don’t care if they still fit after a decade, if your fav jeans are as old as Justin Bieber, it’s time to retire them.  Katie knows that denim is a classic trend, but the shades, shapes and styles fluctuate.  Not to mention after washing and wearing for years, jeans will shrink.  Unless you’re a freak of nature, your waistline is probably doing the opposite.

 

 

Kisses,

Katie
