Transition in Style with Our Fashion-Forward Pieces!

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Though we’re still in the thick of Summer, Fall isn’t exactly far behind.  This is why we at Off Broadway Boutique thought that this would be the perfect time to introduce the pieces that can be worn through the changing season.  After all, you shouldn’t be stuck in something that is too heavy for a hot day or too flimsy for a cool day.  With our choice picks from the Dilemma collection and our Turkish-style pieces, you definitely won’t miss out on being the most fabulously-fashioned forty-something of either season!

One way to feel fantastic in any size is by slipping on our posh poet blouse.  A fresh new take on the classic piece, this Dilemma one-button shirt boasts a wide collar that gives way to a slightly-ruched bottom.  Each roomy ¾ sleeve showcases a sharp French cuff that contrasts with the easy fit of the roomy silhouette.  With a straight hem and a split on each side to allow for extra space, this shirt would look wonderful with a simple camisole and a dark pair of jeans.  What’s more; this one-size-fits-most piece comes in an array of colors that work well with your Summer or Fall fashion palette!

Dilemma Cotton Square Cut Poet Blouse, $107, featured by Off Broadway Boutique

Should you decide that you want to jazz up our poet blouse, our Turkish necklace is just the thing that will bring the sizzle to your style.  One of the treasures that the Countess of Glamour brought back from her travels in Turkey, this brass masterpiece possesses the regal pizzazz that is reminiscent of the Grand Empire.  Consisting of a chain necklace that leads to two medium-sized teardrop pieces that are each adorned with a dark red teardrop stone that is surrounded by tiny round rubies, a huge two-tone centerpiece boasts a round red stone that is cradled by tiny round rubies.  Oval stones surround the centerpiece stone, making it a wonderful embellishment for your classic look.  This one-of-a-kind necklace’s rustic style allows a versatility that works very well for both Summer and Fall.

Turkish Oversized Metal Necklace, $177, featured by Off Broadway Boutique

On the other hand, if your taste leans more towards the traditional, you will find that our men’s style shirt will do the trick. Also a part of the Dilemma collection, this piece is available in both linen and silk in various colors so that you’ll be able to choose any one to fit your Summer or Fall mood. Designed in a one-size-fits-most silhouette as well, it showcases a huge breast pocket on the right and a classic hem that adds character to a simple look.  A mandarin collar and ¾ folded-up sleeves guarantee that this stylish shirt will look gorgeous with leggings and a belted waist.  More of a late Summer piece than a Fall staple, it’s a great choice for the beautiful baby-boomer who loves to stroll around town!

Dilemma Organic Cotton Blouse, $127, featured by Off Broadway Boutique

What’s the perfect way to complement our classic men’s style shirt, you ask?  We believe that our black Turkish style neckpiece is the ideal addition to your terrific transitional look.  After all, it possesses the ethnic flavor that adds flair to your style without overpowering your Summer-to-Fall style!  Also brought in from Turkey by the Countess of Glamour, this must-have crocheted piece boasts multicolored tassels that are decorated with ribbed silver coins at each base. Each fluffy tassel adds a versatile allure to whatever outfit you pair this one-size-fits-most piece with – a perfect attribute in a transitional accessory.

Turkish Oversized Neckpiece with Multicolored Tassels, $107, featured by Off Broadway Boutique

Whichever style direction you decide to go in, know that you’ve come to the right place for your Summer-to-Fall fashion. Since we at Off Broadway Boutique believe in bringing out the chic in every woman of every size, we wanted to prepare you for the change in season without sacrificing your style.  Whether you’re strolling on the boardwalk on a cool night or enjoying a warm night out for dinner, you deserve to look the part of the best-dressed baby-boomer that you know you are!

Off Broadway Boutique featured on The Curvy Fashionista!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

For Full Figured Fashion Weekend, Off Broadway Boutique hosted a lovely breakfast for a group of fabulous women. Off Broadway was the first stop on a glamorous shopping excursion for a wonderful group of full figured ladies. Check out the article from The Curvy Fashionista’s blog below, and be sure to check back on the Curvy Fashionistas blog to get exclusive advice on being Curvy, Confident and Chic!

 

A Day touring New York’s Plus size fashion scene- Off Broadway Boutique

What would a trip to Full Figured Fashion Week be without fully experiencing the fashion capital?

Imagine a day to traipse around the New York, chauffeured around in an executive bus with a tour guide, hitting New York’s haute-est spots for plus size fashion.  This year, assisting with the NYC shopping ventures, Full Figured Fashion Week™ and I fashioned a plus size shopping excursion to take the full-fledged fashionista to the fashion spots around the city.

On the last day of Full Figured Fashion Week™ and the day of the finale, 20+ women gathered at the top of the day just for this: The Shopping Excursion.  Starting at 8:30 am, yes, THAT EARLY, these curvy fashionistas gathered for a jam-packed, fun-filled, fashion extravaganza throughout the city and beyond with a tour of handpicked plus size boutiques and designers.

What was exciting about this trip was that there was something for everyone, from high-end designer to the consignment score.  This day was all about having fun while being presented with shopping options you hadn’t had the chance to have!  Ladies from France, Canada, Georgia, and throughout New York gathered to indulge their shopping habits! Our First stop: Off Broadway Boutique…

The Off Broadway Boutique

Our first stop took us to the Upper West Side of New York to a neighborhood favorite.  Fashion Designer and stylist to the stars, Lynn Dell was gracious to open her doors to us before opening to the public.  Off Broadway Boutique is, as one attendee shared, “a hidden gem in NY!  I walk in this area everyday and would not know of the beautiful items found inside!”

The Shopping Excursion during Full Figured Fashion Week

Naturally, in the 8 o’clock hour, we were still trying to wake up, but thanks to the amazing hospitality of Alix and the staff, they prepared a light breakfast paired with coffee and juice- the necessary breakfast of champions to get us going. Much needed, because there were so many things that caught our eyes!

Asides from the extremely attentive (almost psychic) and patient staff (I mean top notch) the selections were endless.  Although the site says that it caters to the more mature crowd, KNOW that there is something for everyone here! The day’s highlights include:

The Shopping Excursion at Full Figured Fashion Week-         

The “Reruns” Department

Their consignment department, located in the back is where I was instantly drawn!  Amazing designer vintage and rare jewels- I was in heaven! Like Chanel drop earrings?  YES! Clothing like Chanel, Armani, Valentino, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton? YES!  From vintage jewelry, drop-dead furs, designer and vintage handbags- HEAVEN!

The Design Studio

They have this special service for you in the store, where if there is something you want, from their exclusive collection, and it is not in your size, they MAKE IT FOR YOU in HOUSE!

Ladies left with smiles, bags, and glee as the tone was set for the day’s festivities! Especially as those who were shopping for last minute scores for Full Figured Fashion Week’s FINALE!

Crafted with the fashionable forty-something in mind, our ruffle jacket possesses both the classic shape that flatters every figure and the bold features that set a woman apart from the rest.  Our slightly tapered waist works as a perfect complement to the alluring ruffles that decorate the bottom hem of the back of the jacket.  Stopping just above the derriere, these ruffles are also double-layered for a dramatic look that works well during the day and at night.  In addition, its rolled-up sleeves are split at the bottom for extra room with an easy fit and are a balance to the flamboyant stand-up ruffle collar that serves as this jacket’s defining feature.  Each layer of ruffles comes into full bloom, allowing you to blossom into enchanting elegance.  Two large buttons add that final splash of style that makes this jacket a must-have addition to your summer wardrobe.  

The best thing about this piece is that it possesses enough versatility for you to wear it anywhere.  For instance, if you’re looking for a reason to wear our sophisticated tie dye jacket in blue and white, we think that a daytime shopping trip would work out perfectly.  After all, you’ll make a chic vision walking down the street when you wear it with our chic black jeans!

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Hello, ladies!  Are you in the mood to make a striking impression with your style?  If so, you’ve come to the right place because Off Broadway Boutique specializes in making 40+ women over into fashionable femmes.  And with the geometric look being in style right now, we believe that this is the perfect opportunity to introduce to the collection that embodies that elegance.  After all, you’ll be destined to shine in these exquisite pieces this season!

A great way to start is with our black Ronald Jackson geometric t-shirt because it definitely captures everyone’s attention.  Designed with hand-painted gold and silver stripes that are vertically slanted on each shoulder, it boasts a geometric effect that’ll keep any fabulous fifty-something in style!  What’s more; this 100% cotton tee features a silver-studded round collar that adds sizzle to its loose fit.  Wear it with our pretty petit pois leggings and you’ll be all set for a lovely Summer day!

If you’re interested in adding that extra oomph to your look, you should consider pairing our terrific triple-hoop clip-on earrings with this black shirt.  Made with hammered Mexican silver, these lightweight pieces consist of three geometric circles on each earring that cut an eye-catching silhouette.  A single stripe holds the triple hoop together on each earring to create a dangling effect, thus adding dimension whenever you wear them.

On the other hand, if your idea of geometric chic has more to do with adopting an exotic style, we highly suggest that you contemplate our Ronald Jackson silver and gold geometric t-shirt.  After all, its intersecting silver and gold stripes cut across one another in a triangular pattern to create a tigress look.  In addition, this white 100% cotton loose tee possesses the geometric illusion that is reminiscent of the electric 80s style.  With silver studs that decorate the front of the round collar, a fantastic 40-something woman can easily recreate that look by rolling up those sleeves and paring them with our petit pois leggings.

Should you be at a loss as to what to wear with this tee, we suggest that you choose our Bat-Ami electroform cuff as a chic addition to your outfit.  Sculpted into a geometric wave texture, this rose gold piece gives off a bold illusion that is the ideal complement to our dazzling t-shirt.  This distinct bracelet also has the benefit of being lightweight – a significant contrast to its heavy look.  It shines in the sun so that you’ll definitely be the center of attention!

Embrace Your Exotic Side in Our Ethnic Summer Pieces!

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Hi, ladies!  Do your dreams of walking on the wild side have to do with tribal prints with eye-catching jewels to spare?  Well, you’ve come to the right place because Off Broadway Boutique has the pieces that will definitely satisfy your style craving – our ethnic style tunics!  Not only are they very fashionable, they’re very versatile for the fabulous forty something women and their younger counterparts to wear during a lovely summer day!

Designed by Kareena’s Trends, these vibrant tunics were created with an ethnic flavor in mind.  Its light and sheer silk fabric allows every woman to beat the heat while looking incredibly chic in their tribal style prints.   In addition, it has a drawstring waist so that you can create an hourglass silhouette if you prefer to add definition to the tunic.  The plunging neckline and roomy sleeves are embellished with semiprecious copper, aquamarine, and brown beading for a dazzling look that translates well for any daytime occasion.  Small turquoise chunks also decorate the necklace and sleeves for the ultimate tropical look.  Available in a sea green hue and a sunny tangerine color, you can pair either with a simple camisole and leggings or use as a cover-up over fabulous swimwear.

 

Kareena’s Ethnic Print Tunic with Beading, $227, featured by Off Broadway Boutique

In our opinion, the best complements to these fantastic tunics are our gold and copper clip earrings.  Made in Mexico for us to exclusively carry in our stylish boutique, they fit comfortably on both pierced and unpierced ears.  Our copper oval raindrop clip earrings are a perfect example of that, for they offer that cascading glamour that would work perfectly with our sea green tunic.  Each polished and textured oval piece is connected to one another so that your look will be in perfect harmony.  These earrings are also available in gold and silver for your choosing.

Oval Raindrop Clip Earrings, $97, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique

If you prefer an intricate pair of earrings that reflect the radiance of our orange tribal tunic, look no further than our gold ribbon clip earrings.  Ground into a wonderfully circular shape while being polished into an unforgettable shine, they’re an ideal way to allow you to be the showstopper that you know you are.   What’s more; they’re a wonderful complement to a fresh or made-up face – a quality that’ll keep you looking absolutely fabulous!

Ribbon Design Earrings, $157, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique

Then again, if you’re in the market for a pair of clip-on earrings that’ll go well with both tunics, our copper three drop earrings will surely do the trick.  Not only does the one-of-a-kind hue complement the tribal prints, they possess an Aztec-esque look that is perfect for the 40+ fashionista that thrives on making a style splash.  With a horn-shaped base that dangles three geometric slabs on each earring, this lightweight pair also echoes the organic glamour that is in fashion this season!

Three Drop Clip Earrings, $137, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique
