I love stripes.  Wide stripes, thin stripes, nautical stripes and French girl stripes, stripes are my favorite “print”.  I am sure that this is why I find Bailey 44 so irresistible.  Done in the softest knits with the perfect amount of stretch, Bailey 44 is sexy yet classy all at the same time.   I am constantly amazed at the number of stripe options that Bailey 44 offers—perfect worn casual with jeans or cargos or dressed up with wide leg black pants or skinny trousers.  Of course there are solids and other prints offered as well, but the stripe styles are nearest and dearest to my heart.  Right now we have Bailey 44 in the prettiest dark red, black and cream combos at Suite 602.   If you too love a good stripe, come take a peek….you know can never have too many stripes in your closet!

Have you noticed how Kate Middleton and Pippa are constantly being photographed wearing lace?  Lace is back and better than ever.  Done with a touch of stretch, Josie Natori has perfected lace with the comfort of your favorite yoga pants.  I am currently lusting over our Josie Natori black lace mock turtle neck with matching stretch lace pencil skirt.  With these two pieces you get the perfect fit that wearing separates allows, while looking like you are wearing the sexiest dress possible.  If a lace dress sounds like more than you are ready for, how about a lace blouse, lace cami, or lace trimmed sweater?  We have all of these options available at Barbara Katz.  Come in and give lace a try!

Silk is having a major moment.  No longer reserved strictly for special occasions, silk is making a huge come back in the sportswear market.  Silk blouses with jeans, silk tunics with slim pants, silk printed pants with solid tees or sweaters are all new takes on the classic fabric.  In jewel tones and beautiful prints, silk is a must have addition to every women’s wardrobe.  Wear your men’s style GEMMA silk blouse tucked into wide leg jeans with some fab jewelry and wedge shoes and you are right on trend.  So simple and so easy!

It’s too hot, it’s too itchy, it’s too expensive….I have heard all the excuses as to why people don’t want to buy cashmere in South Florida.  Let me tell you, all of these excuses are just that excuses.  The cashmere of yesteryear is not the same as modern cashmere.  There are so many weights in cashmere now from traditional cashmere to tissue weights and cashmere blended with silk or soy that anyone can find the perfect weight and softness in cashmere just right for their personal tastes.  White and Warren, Fabiana Filippi, Sonia Rykiel, Acrobat, Autumn Cashmere, Minnie Rose and Qi cashmere are just some of the amazing cashmere lines carried at Suite 602 and Barbara Katz.  Do yourself a favor and try cashmere again if you haven’t worn it in years.  You won’t regret it!!!

I equate the pleasure of trying on jeans with that of trying on swimsuits….pure torture.  That is until I discovered Yoga Jeans.  Yoga Jeans are just that—jeans so stretchy, comfortable and good fitting (not to mention great looking) that you could literally wear them while doing yoga (this I do not recommend!).  Yoga Jeans stretch in all the right places, don’t bag out or cut you and have the perfect rise for someone with a  less than “perfect” waistline.  In other words…no muffin top!  We just got our Fall shipment of Yoga Jeans in at Suite 602 at Barbara Katz so now is the ideal time to try a pair on yourself!
