Katie knows the holidays are over and now its time for business: clear out your closet of all the unworn and unflattering.  The big bag of clothes you’ll take to Goodwill will extend your holiday spirit and allow room for new, better items in your wardrobe.

Just in time!  The Knit Wit and Plage Tahiti have some incredible NEW ARRIVALS!  Yay!

Katie knows you love Chan Luu wrap bracelets.  Who doesn’t?! 

Seen on women like the Kardashian’s, Giselle and the super chic strolling through the Square, Chan Luu wrap bracelets are beloved and work well with many kinds of outfits and styles.  Like, on the beach!

 But did you know that Chan Luu also makes clothes?  The Knit Wit + Plage Tahiti have been carrying her line for years!  And just recently, Philly Fashionista Biana DeMarco stopped by Plage Tahiti to try some on.

This Chan Luu maxi sequined skirt can be worn with a t-shirt and high-tops (as the designer debuted it) or paired with a sophisticated silk top like this one by Diane Von Furstenberg.  Gorgeous on Biana!

 This Chan Luu sheer black sweater is perfect for those nights when you want to look sexy but the cold temperatures force long sleeves (shown with a nude SNUG cami).

 Check out Biana’s blog about her visit to Plage Tahiti for lots more amazing pieces and pics.

And don’t forget to stop by Knit Wit + Plage to pick up some new fab Chan Luu bracelets and clothes – tis the season to treat yourself and others!

Kisses,

Katie
