Mother’s Day is May 13th and Katie knows you want to get something nice for your Mom. Here are some new accessories from Knit Wit that will make a great gift!
PAUL SMITH Striped Messenger Bag. This cotton canvas bag has an adjustable shoulder strap with buckle closure.

MATTA Scarves in a ton of great colors for spring and summer.

GLOBAL GIRLS Looped Beaded Sandal in Gold & Silver. Handmade leather sandals: brown leather sole with looped silver and gold beaded design across top of foot. Leather toe strap.

Ancient Greek Sandals are available in tan and black. So chic and comfortable.

You can never go wrong with a beaded Moyna clutch.

Sometimes, just spending time with Mom and making her feel special is the best way to celebrate her. Bring her into Knit Wit with you (open on Mother’s Day!) and have some fun shopping!
Kisses,
Katie

New shoe arrival alert! Jeffrey Campbell makes a fab platform. So of course the Knit Wit is carrying a few different patterns. Katie knows you need to check these out for spring. Platform sandals allow your feet to breathe in the hot weather while gracefully elongating your legs whether wearing pants, shorts, skirts or dresses.

Seriously obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Pisa Fab Platform Sandals in Grey Suede.
Check out the rear view – LOVE!

Rock these Pisa Platform Sandals in Beige with a maxi dress that cinches at the waist for a flawless and breezy spring look.

Don’t let anyone tell you black and brown don’t go together. These Genoa Platform Sandals in Black are so cool.

Kisses,
Katie

BluGirl is one of my very favorite European lines from the Blumarine label. Katie knows when you want to feel modern, sexy, feminine and joyful – like a stunning Italian woman – a BluGirl dress does the job every time. And with so many fun upcoming events this spring, you need a killer dress.
Meet the designer behind BluGirl: “Anna Molinari’s world is one of seduction and charm, great vitality and a spontaneous sense of fun,” says the website. “Her nickname sums her up perfectly: the queen of roses, on account of her fondness for these magical and sensual flowers which represent the image of the Blumarine label and symbolically embody its ideal of femininity.”
Ms. Molinari’s famous Blu-Vi, the small cardigan in cashmere with a mink collar, has been worn by countless celebrities. Here are some of new incredible dresses for spring and summer 2012:

This cream dress is a work of art. Exquisite!

With the perfect little leopard trench.

This sky blue dress with embellishment can be paired with an Autumn Cashmere cardigan for cooler spring nights.

But when it’s warm, you aren’t going to want to cover this back!

The draping on this dress makes it so flattering and the details make it one-of-a-kind.

And when you turn around, jaws will drop!
Stop into the Knit Wit in Philadelphia, Margate NJ or Bryn Mawr PA to try on these pieces.
Kisses,
Katie

Sir Paul Smith just showed his fall 2012 RTW and Katie knows some of his menswear-inspired looks are meant to be staples in your closet this autumn.
Sleek, skinny pants paired with tailored little jackets or double breasted overcoats; plaid paired with plaid; a healthy dose of velvet and some killer dresses! Here are my favorites from the Paul Smith new collection:

A classic fall ensemble with the unmistakable Paul Smith twist.

The un-lady suit. To die for.

An incredible little black wrap dress with pocket square!

We’ve seen a bit of this mustard color – so retro and rich – throughout the recent NYFW shows.

And this gorgeous blue! Can’t go wrong with the perfect sweater+skirt combo.

Plaid on plaid. Love the neck of the sweater and the different hues.

Ann Gitter always says, a tight turtleneck can be so sexy. Here’s the proof!

Loving this striped maxi with belt.
The Knit Wit has the best Paul Smith selection around and just got a huge shipment of brand new pieces including these (not just for men) new cuff links:

Check out the new arrivals online or in-store!
Kisses,
Katie

Katie knows the Knit Wit’s Ann Gitter can always spot a fabulous designer. The incredible line A.L.C. by Andrea Lieberman has been carried at my favorite boutique since it was born in 2008.
It’s always fresh and interesting while still classic and chic. I was thrilled when I saw pics of the new designs! Here are some of my favorite looks from A.L.C.‘s fall 2012 RTW collection shown at NYFW:

This mustardy color is featured throughout the collection, paired with black, grays and patterns.

Obsessed with these leather legging pants in both burgundy and black. And this coat, OMG!

Sweet sweaters with a modern Fair Isle paired with short skirts.

So Mad Men! I love the short sleeves.

The sexy version of the ensemble directly above. This may be too hot for the office!

The colors of this maxi dress are subdued yet striking. Pair it with a chunky cardigan for a perfect autumn look.

I am going to seriously need this coat!
I just picked up the most chic black jumpsuit by A.L.C. at Plage Tahiti – for 80% off! And, the Knit Wit has a huge A.L.C. selection to hold you over until these fabulous fall pieces arrive.
Kisses,
Katie

Katie knows that a sweet silk blouse can transform your outfit into a sophisticated ensemble. But when you’re heading to a Super Bowl XLVI party, leave the silk at home. Football was made for t-shirts.
That doesn’t mean I want to see you in a mis-shaped, stained t-shirt that should be retired to the cleaning rag pile!
Good thing the Knit Wit and Plage Tahiti has a ton of designer t-shirts that will be pretty and comfortable as you’re snacking and cheering this evening! Like these from Michael Stars:




The Knit Wit on Walnut St. is open until 5 p.m. today and the Knit Wit on Ventnor Ave. in Margate, NJ is open until 4 p.m.! Stop by to get your new t’s for Super Bowl Sunday!
Kisses,
Katie

Katie knows a monochrome (one color) look can be put together using any color. But black is tres chic and so very Knit Wit. Not to mention flattering for every figure, slimming in silhouette and complimentary to every skin tone.
Here are some ideas for how to pull off a monochrome black outfit (pay attention to the shoes, ladies!):

Pair this 3.1 Phillip Lim Band Collar Shirt with a black pencil skirt. Leave your legs bare this spring and keep the blouse untucked. You can take this basic look from office to evening with a few simple accessories.

This may look like a dress, but it’s a skirt and shirt! Pair this Halston Heritage Pleated Knit Skirt in Black with any black top that can be easily tucked in and you’ve got a stunning monochromatic look. This skirt can be sexed-up with a slinky top or worn to the office with a blouse. Add a nude heel to elongate your legs!

I love this Gwyneth Shirt by Elizabeth and James because it is so versatile. Shown here with black skinny jeans, like Mother Denim, this outfit can be worn with heels or flats and a variety of accessories. It’s a fab outfit for a Mom on the go who still wants to look chic.
When putting together a monochromatic outfit, remember your accessories and shoes do not need to be the same color as your clothes. Adding a pop of color to your all-black ensemble will really finish it off. If you need help or some new pieces for your wardrobe, visit my friends at the Knit Wit and Plage Tahiti!
Kisses,
Katie
