Lynn Dell – A Muse of All Seasons

December 15, 2012 By The Countess of Glamour

Hello, everyone! We’ve made no secret about our affection for The Countess of Glamour, Lynn Dell, which is why it is always a pleasure to have her visit our lovely shop. After all, she is a major source of style inspiration for both clients and staff – both of whom always look forward to seeing her in a uniquely marvelous look. In addition, it is her vision that has steered Off Broadway Boutique on the right path of fashionable fabulousness for over 40 years!

Our newest fashion consultant, Tracy, certainly caught wind of this when she saw Lynn stroll in our shop in a gorgeous purple ensemble yesterday. Immediately thinking of the purple fox fur and wool hooded neckpiece that she had seen in our vintage and consignment department earlier, she just knew that it’d be the perfect complement to her look. Although Lynn hadn’t quite understood the hoopla about it, she immediately did an about-face once she realized just how luxurious and comfortable it looked and felt on her.

To say that the result was purely magical is an understatement, as that gorgeous piece is one out of many enchanting ones that can be found in our lovely vintage and consignment department. In once again living up to her well-earned reputation as The Countess of Glamour, Lynn managed to take everyone’s breath away while proving Tracy’s fashion-forward intuition correct. Therefore, it was no surprise that Tracy made a glorious sale out of it by selling the originally $110 neckpiece to Lynn for 20% off while bringing it down to $83 plus tax. What’s more, the stunning neckpiece served as yet another example why Off Broadway Boutique’s reruns and consignment department is such a source of exceptionally elegant fashions. After all, Lynn has prided herself on always adding a little extra something to her style – a motto that has been duplicated in every single piece that she has chosen for Off Broadway Boutique’s diverse collection.

Off Broadway Boutique Customer Spotlight – Hallie Neill and Terry

August 19, 2012 By The Countess of Glamour

Hi, everyone! At Off Broadway Boutique, we have been blessed to have a diversity of clients that range from theatre divas to local fashion plates with plenty other personalities in between. Not only do they contribute to making our boutique a fun place to shop, but they inspire us to present our stunning fashions exquisite jewelry. This is certainly the case with two of our wonderful customers, who recently informed us that they’d worn our pieces to their special events.

When the divine operatic soprano, Hallie Neill, reached out to us on Facebook a few weeks ago, we were thrilled to see her in our gorgeous green cape during her performance in The Diva and the Baritone. Looking every inch of the diva that she is, she was a vivacious vision onstage as she wowed the crowd along with her husband, the fantastic Theodore Lambrinos. What’s more; she wore our cape with such pizzazz that we’re sure that the audience fell in love with her style as much as they did with her voice – as you can see in this video.

Vintage style blogger, MaryLenore Arsenault, also contacted us on Facebook a few days ago to inform us of our suave brocade jacket making an appearance at a monthly dance party that she had attended with her date, Terry. According to her blog, Moss Park Fashionistas, he was the sartorial champion of the night – no surprise, considering that the vintage inspired velvet-trimmed piece is one of the crown jewels in our Off Broadway Boutique reruns department. Visit our shop for more one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that will make as much a lasting impression as Terry did at that fun party.

One of our biggest sources of pride at Off Broadway Boutique is welcoming a variety of customers, as they each appreciate the eclectic style and lavish glamour that we have to offer. What’s more, they are the main reason why we have been an Upper West Side style institution for over forty years. It is with that that we dedicate this blog to two of the most fashionable clients that we have had the pleasure of being of service to – Hallie Neill and Terry.

Off Broadway Boutique Customer Spotlight: Mabel

July 1, 2012 By The Countess of Glamour

Hello, everyone! We recently had the pleasure of assisting our youngest customer, Mabel, at Off Broadway Boutique. Three years old with a natural eye for fabulous style, she arrived at our boutique last week along with her parents and older sister, Ella, with one goal in mind – to find that piece that would make a sensational fashion statement.

Mabel led the way to our reruns vintage department, where she fell head over heels for a vintage flower crown headpiece. As she modeled it for everyone in the shop, it was clear that that the floral chapeau fit her to a tee! We are certain that you will be able to find these one of a kind treasures in our reruns vintage department as well.

As we got to know Mabel’s father, who played the priest in the play, Doubt, her older sister, Ella, and her mother, who works at Julliard, we were pleased to see that Mabel was a part of a loving family who embraced her innate sense of style. We hope that this is the first of many times that Mabel visits us at Off Broadway Boutique.
