New Jeffrey Campbell Platforms

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

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.

20120320-224446.jpg

Seriously obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Pisa Fab Platform Sandals in Grey Suede.

Check out the rear view – LOVE!

BluGirl Sophistication

Monday, March 12th, 2012

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:

20120312-111610.jpg

This cream dress is a work of art. Exquisite!

20120312-111711.jpg

With the perfect little leopard trench.

20120312-111823.jpg

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

20120312-111947.jpg

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

20120312-112110.jpg

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

20120312-112245.jpg

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

Paul Smith Fall 2012 RTW Favs

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

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:

20120221-233551.jpg

A classic fall ensemble with the unmistakable Paul Smith twist.

20120221-233919.jpg

The un-lady suit. To die for.

20120221-234002.jpg

An incredible little black wrap dress with pocket square!

20120221-234052.jpg

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

20120221-234151.jpg

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

20120221-234256.jpg

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

20120221-234408.jpg

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

20120221-234504.jpg

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!

A.L.C. Fall 2012 RTW Fav Looks

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

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:

20120221-194926.jpg

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

20120221-195807.jpg

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

20120221-195901.jpg

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

20120221-200032.jpg

So Mad Men! I love the short sleeves.

20120221-200334.jpg

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

20120221-200806.jpg

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

20120221-201037.jpg

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

Super Bowl Sunday T’s

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

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:

20120205-104545.jpg

20120205-104606.jpg

20120205-104712.jpg

20120205-104746.jpg

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

How to do Monochrome

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

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!):

20120201-182918.jpg

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.

20120201-183240.jpg

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!

20120201-183641.jpg

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
