A Hue for You

Savvy Chic's Savvy Speak readers! Welcome back to my fashionable blog! It's been a while since I sat down and shared my words of fashion wisdom, but in all fairness I've been in a private cave creating that fashion for you.

I've stepped out for some non-cave air and I've decided to reach out to you once more. The topic of interest lately has been the new choice for Fall fashion. I have to first say that I've been a stickler for certain colors for my own personal reasons. Among them are coral, rust, peach, pink, tan, etc. They are friends that I will carry to my grave. However, I have found myself stepping out. An affair of sorts, with some colors I never imagined would grace my body. Or my face for that matter. So here goes:

PEACOCK- A delightfully dramatic, yet not overwhelming shade of bluishy-green that looks great as a baby tee or as an eyeshadow. I'm wearing both as I type this blog. It also works well with our next guest of fashion honor, purple!

PURPLE- Better known for gracing the bodies of both Grimace and Barney, certain shades of purple have become somewhat of a commodity for this fall's fashion. And the truth is, it's quite a beautiful color. Don't believe me? Just ask YSL. And if you're still skeptical, you can try it for yourself at bergdorfgoodman.com.

PEWTER- A version of gray that, until now, has reminded me of nannies, witches, and cinderblocks... Needless to say, pewter has done much in the way of fashion and is a must have for this Fall season.

CRANBERRY- Not just for Thanksgiving dinner anymore. A cranberry peacoat here, a patent leather cranberry pump there, I'm telling you it's delicious.

Although these were just a few of the colors you can expect to see on Fall ready racks everywhere, you can be sure that you no longer have to stick to autumn leaf inspired colors this season. So you see? Fall fashion doesn't have to be mundane and routine. Grab yourself a splash of unexpected color. And never forget that Savvy Chic is an ideal place to find your Fall fashions. Whether it's ready to wear fresh from the runway (runway show coming soon), custom made for your exclusive needs, or on the racks next to the fashion greats, Savvy Chic has what you need!

The Touch, The Feel!!!

FASHIONISTAS!!! I know you missed me while I was gone, but I'm back with some tips for you. I was out and about touching everything I could get my satin hands on. Fabrics of course! So in my travels I came across a couple of stores worth mentioning. While there are a multitude of wonderful fabric stores I must give my opinion about a couple that I had the privilege of pawing around in . I had a wonderful time in All That Fabrics on 7th Avenue and 39th st. in the Garment District. I also enjoyed The Fabric House at 214 West 39th St. between 6th and 7th avenue. If you love imported fabrics as much as I do you should be on your way to Soho right now to redeem yourself for the all the low brow purchases you've made in the past year. For those who've done imported already this year, go have a treat and let us enjoy our moment.

I must say that I experienced the most beautiful imported silk charmeuse, egyptian cotton, satins and wool blends. I also had the priviledge of dancing with a few reams of linen. Anyway, if you're feeling creative you should experience the garment district in SOHO for yourself. It's beautiful. I feel refreshed and I definitely feel a new line coming soon. Look out for the winter collection, date TBA!!! Until then, take care of yourselves and hand wash your couture! With love, from Savvy Chic.
