Plaid Trend is Back

Jess Mayhugh — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 08:30:00 +0000

Plaid is back (did it ever really leave?) and better than ever in fresh colors and forms. “They always say, if you see it on three runways, that’s it—it’s a trend. And it was everywhere,” Annapolis-based personal stylist Michele Deckman says of these bold new plaids.

No matter the palette, the styling strategy of Vanessa Pivec, owner of Green Spring Station’s Panache, seems to work. “I tend to pair my cream and white cashmere sweaters with a great plaid pant or skirt. And there’s so much white this season—I think it really pops the plaid on the bottom half,” Pivec explains. When it comes to the risky—but rewarding—plaid on plaid, our experts advise caution. “One of the pieces has to be a brighter plaid, and the other has to be less of a shocker,” Pivec suggests. When looking for a more muted piece, Deckman suggests we opt for “a classic black and grey plaid, and then it’s almost like a neutral.”

And for home décor? “I wouldn’t go crazy and mix a ton of plaids together,” says Carmen Brock, owner of Hampden’s Trohv. “Using plaid as an accent instead of a main theme is what makes it so charming.”

Fashion Round Up

Jess Mayhugh — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 03:30:00 +0000

Here are some sales (and a few events) worth shopping now through next week.

Hurry over to Cross Keys for Ruth Shaw’s Designer Sale and save up to 70 percent off the store’s select designer items.

Next door, enjoy Jones and Jones’ three-day in-store Carol Peretz
trunk show. This New-York based line is known for its signature bridal
collection, as well as its cocktail-attire and other special occasion
pieces. Stop by the store from today through Friday, March 14.

It’s not too late to enjoy major savings at Green Spring Station. Now through this Friday, March 14, shop the end of Bare Necessities’
two-week long 29th Anniversary Sale which will afford you 20 percent
off all items storewide, and even more generous, 30 percent off all
sleepwear.

After debuting the fundraiser last September, the shopping center and the Junior League of Baltimore will team up yet again to host another Passport to Baltimore
shopping event. For just $20 (reduced from last year’s price!), your
shopping card will grant you access to the remaining days of the
original ten-day period of special savings at Green Spring’s
participating stores (ending Sunday, March 16), as well as to the full
ten-day period at participating restaurants (from Friday, May 16 until
Sunday, May 25). All proceeds benefit the Junior League of Baltimore’s
dedicated fight to helping local women, fighting child obesity and
improving the general welfare of the community.

Bare Necessities isn’t the only store celebrating an anniversary—Lingerie Lingerie
is turning 24! And to kick off the celebration, the store will offer a
25 percent storewide discount this Friday only, followed by a 20 percent
storewide discount throughout the rest of the week-long sale.

Over at the Shops at Kenilworth, the Bead has discounted all tops—saving you 20 percent on each—until Saturday, March 22.

After shopping, relax at About Faces. From now through Monday, March 31, purchase five of the same salon and spa services and save 15 percent on your total.

Finally, skip the Sunday blues and end your week at this year’s Emerging Awards & Fashion Show!

As
the name suggests, EMERGE will be held in celebration of emerging power
players in the fashion world. Host Ava Marie (WBAL TV-11) will honor a
total of eleven publicly nominated candidates.

But first, sip and shop upon arriving at the Lord Baltimore Hotel before the award ceremony begins.

Purchase your tickets in advance for just $25 general admission (VIP seating is sold out).
