Viva Las Vegas

Ok ladies & gents...imagine the longest shopping day you've ever had.  Now multiply the intensity by 100...you now have a realistic picture of 'market' aka apparel trade shows:)  Last week we were in Sin City where one of the biggest bunch of trade shows happens twice a year...Moda, Magic, Project, Accessories the show and ENK.  Because we're always on the lookout for fab new designers & styles to bring you, we attend them all (not to mention NYC & Chicago shows)!!  Of course this is a part of having a boutique we love, seeing what's fresh & new and ordering what we know our customers will go crazy for months in advance.  Which means you better be focused and on point, therefore your mind is basically mush at the end of each day.

As far as silhouettes go...love it or hate it, the high-low/mullet dress is EVERYwhere and going strong into Fall so get used to it:)  We're also still seeing a lot of cut-outs and 'easy' bodies for Spring/Summer.

Polka dots, pastels/nudes, brights, chevron/stripe paisley & 'granny floral' (read: soo ugly-cute) ruled for prints and colors, as well as seeing the navajo/aztec vibe still a huge influence.

Happy shopping!!

XOXO

A Night Out, Just "Cause"

Wow it's the first day of February and despite this amazing weather, I've found myself signing the winter blues (well trying at least).  Sometimes life gets so hectic you can start to feel a bit lost...so why not gather your girlfriends to spend some time (& a little moo-lah) on yourselves, all while helping others in the process!  It's a win, win.

 On Friday, February 10th,  le Dress is partnering with Frill accessory boutique and Prasino restaurant to bring you a special night out benefiting the Center for Independent Futures.  $20 (100% goes to CIF) gets you 20% off your entire purchase at both boutiques, all while enjoying lite bites and libations! For an extra $10, stop by Prasino for a fabulous drink/app offer!  See more deets below and go to www.independentfutures.com to pay online or rsvp to mo@pumpshoeschicago.com and pay at the door!

After all, sometimes quality girl time, a few cocktails and a little retail therapy while paying it forward to help others is the perfect remedy to brighten the blues:)

See you then!

XOXO,
