Berry Picking…

Picture yourself in the middle of a field full of delicious berries ready for picking.. strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, the field is endless.

Now, take your pick and you are set for Fall.
We love to talk about color for Spring, but for Fall? Yes!

The color palette for the Fall season is all about berries. Whether it is your red-ish pink shades of strawberries or raspberries or your blue-ish purple shades of blueberries and blackberries- either way, if you purchase something this season, buy it in Berry.

One way to wear these berry colors without looking like a blueberry like Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory…

is by mixing and matching your shades- making your own- "smoothie" so to speak.

I love mixing shades of purple with fuschia or navy with hot pink.

You can even play around with your accessories. Add in pops of berry colors with your jewelry! We are launching an amazing agate collection with Vera Deszberg on Thursday, 8/27. Vera's agates come in all shades, sizes, and colors. I love mixing and matching the purples and pinks together for a unique look that will transition you right into fall.

Or try it with your shoes. Navy and purple look gorgeous together…same color family but when you put the two shades together they really play off of each other. I love a deep purple shoe back to denim- make it your new black for fall.

Feel Fabulous!

I know this is not the probably not place probably to post this but I cannot get anyone to help me. I bought a slinky top (set of 3 purple, black and hot pink). I took it out in june and I could not belive it. The color had turned to a bright green around the neck & underarm area. I have sent a letter to Jackie Schecter in June and no response. Could you please help me. I paid good money for those shirts and only the purple had turned.!! Thank You

Hi Lauren, could you please have Antthony bring back his georgette with underlay flared black pants that recently sold out. Those pants were incredible, and I want them. I bet I'm not alone! I snoozed and lost. Thanks, Susan

I was wondering about an item I saw last night (8/27/09) on Callie Northagen when she was presenting Sam Edelman shoes. It was a short sleeved belted dress w/ cowlneck. The one she had on was tan in color. Can you tell me if this item is available at HSN and if so, will it be offered in a berry tone? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have seen sash type belts in a few small boutiques, sort of like a cummerbund. A wide, stiff type fabric sash that you can wrap around the waist twice. Have seen this in reversible silk fabrics and in leather. Any chance you will be offering an item like this? A nice alternative to the leather belt with buckle
