A.L.C. Fall 2012 RTW Fav Looks

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:

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!

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.

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

Super Bowl Sunday T’s

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:

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

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

Katie Loves Halston Heritage

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!
