A sweater for every day...











   Mother nature seems to be playing games with us lately.  One day it is a beautiful Spring day, and the next day seems like Winter will never leave.  Thankfully we have a store full of amazing sweaters to transition into the next season.  
   Sarah Pacini has a wide array of knits this season that will satisfy those who love mixing textures and shapes.  Long vests, sheer layers,  and sophisticated basics highlight this huge collection.
   Fresh of the boat from Italy, Re.Set has done it again.  With an understated elegance, this season brings us more of their signature shapes and classic color palettes. 
   Each season we always try to find what we call "Sunday Sweaters".  Those cozy sweaters that become your staple for every weekend when you just want to kick back and relax.  One of our favorite examples this season is from Elemente Clemente.  Fun stripes and a relaxed shape make this a perfect candidate.  
   Ivan Grundahl has outdone himself again this season with a wonderful hand-knit "fisherman's" sweater, as well this faded tie-dye technique on one of his classic shapes.
   For those of you who appreciate an artist's touch, Heyne Bogut's hand-painted line of sweaters are sure to please.  Every sweater's colors and patterns are unique to itself.
   Stop by and see these sweaters and many more.  You will be sure to find your own wardrobe favorite this season.  I look forward to seeing you.

How to Look Like a Million Bucks (during a recession)



Step One: Don't watch channels 3, 6, or 10.

Step Two: Go outside, and take note that it is no longer snowing.

Step Three: If you don't feel better already, repeat steps one and two until you find your happy heart.

Step Four: Assess your needs.  Before you go out shopping, take inventory of your current warm weather wardrobe.  What still works?  What needs to be tossed?  

*Tip* If it no longer fits your lifestyle or body, consider bringing it to a second hand store... You can score some major bucks to spend towards new pieces at Primadonna.

Step Five: Consider beloved pieces in  your wardrobe that have stumped you when it comes to making them look fab.  Make an appointment with your favorite stylist at Primadonna and we will help bring your pieces back to life.

Step Six: Consider updating your spring and summer shoes.  A great new accessory can bring new life to your favorite Spring '06 suit.

Step Seven: Don't just buy to buy.  Even if you can't invest this month, be patient.  It will be well worth it when you have a few new staples in your wardrobe as compared to several so-so pieces that you end up having to chuck at the end of the season.
 
Step Eight: Come in, get inspired, and let us help you make the most of what you already have.  We have always been faithful to the wardrobe building philosophy.  It doesn't take much to look great.  Take you time adding pieces to your wardrobe.  Rome wasn't built in a day- neither will your wardrobe be.

Conclusion: True Fashion does not fade with the ups and downs of the economy... May this season be marked with creative ways you found to express your style.
