Quoted Kathie

Kathie ,worlds leading fashionista, has a great quote in the Washington Post we would love to share with you.

Michelle Obama wears it well
Style seen as accessible
Andrea Billups (At 5-feet-11 in her stocking feet, political wife Michelle Obama is supermodel tall and "the perfect mannequin" for fashion.
Since she hit the campaign trail in support of her husband last year, she has soared to the top of best-dressed lists and has been a much-in-demand cover model for women's magazines, which have touted her graceful but accessible personal style, wearing everything from upscale designers to mass-marketed H&M frocks.
For the first time perhaps, an American political figure, albeit a candidate's wife, has stepped out in garments that real-life women can purchase at the mall, and they are responding to her get-real savvy for dressing.
"I think she proves that elegance doesn't have to be expensive," observes Palm Beach stylist Cathy Orrico, whose namesake boutique C.Orrico, filled with colorful Lilly Pulitzer designs and beach-inspired apparel, has been dressing the well-heeled for years.
"It's thrilling to see her day in and day out at a realm of taste that is not a couture proposition," she said.

Lady Goodman Is "Better Than A Memory"

C. Orrico girls turn up in the most unlikely places…
Like the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, getting an “I Wish I Wrote That Song” Award from the most legendary songwriters of our day for the two week #1 “Better As A Memory” from Kenny Chesney’s double platinum Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.
She’s called Lady Goodman on the record – and her co-writer the handsome Travis Hill is Scooter Carusoe. In real life, she’s our good friend Holly Gleason, an original Lilly Lover – and midwifer of dreams from everyone from John Prine and Emmylou Harris to Brooks & Dunn, Patty Loveless, Lee Ann Womack and last night’s Hall of Fame inductee Matraca Berg – who was saluted with a Kim Carnes rendering of Berg’s CMA Song of the Year “Strawberry Wine.”
Not exactly where you’d expect to see us, perhaps. But when you have friends who write lines like “My only friends are pirates, it’s just who I am…,” you know they have that state of mind that marks a true C. Orrico original.

Jump for Jubilee

The November 2008 issue of T&C, our insiders bible to the well dresses and educated, has featured Lilly in the hottest trends now. The Jubilee line that was created in celebration of our Lady of the Jungles 50th anniversary is a must. A must have and a must wear for the Resort 08 season and the next fifty years. WE are sure you will be seeing this line depicted quite often in the upcoming issues of all fashion magazines. You can get the much anticipated Jubilee pieces this November at www.corrico.com .

When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Go Shopping!

"Fashion of the 1930s was directly influenced by the great Wall Street Crash of October 24, 1929 and subsequent Depression. The Autumn, 1930 Sears Catalogue admonished, “Thrift is the spirit of the day. Reckless spending is a thing of the past.” The beginning of the decade saw women sewing more. Clothing was mended and patched before being replaced. Less ready-to-wear garments were purchased, even though styles were dramatically changing."

For a lack of a better word.... Yuck.

Could it really come down to this. I don't even know how to thread a needle without pricking several fingers.

The next few weeks will be harsh for business nationwide, but we will rise above all the spoil and continue to be the happy pink and green mecca of hope we have been for 24 years now. If you are feeling down and out come on in and sit with the sisters and have a laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine. Also it will make you feel better the whole store is on SALE. What a wonderful time to have one.

Hollywould has a Secret.....

Two Words: SHOE & SALE

Why do these two words set women into a fury? SHOE & SALE Why is one pair of shoes not enough? Two's company, Two is better than one, or misery loves company? These are the mysteries in life we choose not to investigate. We are celebrating the mystery of two pair is better than one with an amazing shoe sale.

Hurricane Season or Fall?

Down here in Hurricane alley we are all breathing a sigh of relief over Hanna. She has a mind of her own, Tropical storm to Hurricane and back twice again, she is allegedly skirting the coast of Florida.

Our fall shipments are arriving at the same time so we keep our minds busy on the new product.

Thankfully we just received Fall 08 Trina Turk. Chic and sophisticated is the name of the game the first quarter of our season. Simple and easy just as well.
