Hi all! I’ve returned from my brief hiatus (read: the pinnacle of wedding season and post-nuptial recovery phase) just in time to recap the close of summer and introduce the transition to fall. So, let’s get down to business…
Our final event of Summer 2010 was the brainchild of our faaaaaaabbbbulous summer intern, Marla. All summer, our fave Arkansan was a HUGE help and true delight to have by our sides, and we were more than bummed to see her go. Alas, her final fall semester was calling. It only seems fitting then, that our Summer Night of Cocktails & Sales served as a good-bye party – to both Marla and to summer styles. What better way to celebrate than with what is arguably the most warm, bright, and cheery flower; the sunflower?!? 28 Parmenter was chock-full of the jolly bloom, and the warmth was practically contagious (literally and figuratively) that night. No flower can lift spirits quite like sunflowers can, and the same can be said for both Marla and for the arrival of new fall fashions! So, with the welcoming of the seasonal shift and the styles that come with it (not to mention the unveiling of our new signature cocktail, the Velvetini), we had to bid adieu to Miss Marla. She will be missed terribly and we wish her all the best as she finishes her college career!
In preparation for autumnal times, the store has been filling up with lots of great transitional pieces. And, just like the sunflowers at the event, these styles are bold, yet comfortable; coats, tunics and tops in fun colors/prints and made of cozy fabrics!
Here’s a look at the first of the fall coats:
And, the much anticipated new Melissa shoes – leopard and wine “flocked” (faux velvet) ballet flats:
A taste of some fall dresses:
Finally, we are happy to introduce Aum Couture - apparel “for people living yoga-inspired lifestyles.” Their pieces are all super comfy, yet totally chic, most featuring an Eastern spiritual symbol, such as a Buddha. Check out the softest sweatshirt to ever grace the floors of the Fly:
As I’ve said before, this time of year always comes with a mix of emotions, and this year is no different… We may not enjoy saying “Ciao!” to summer days or the newest member of the Fly Girls family, but we’re looking forward to receiving more fall styles and sharing them with all of you!
Buon pomeriggio!
Naomi
