With the largest fashion fete gracing the Big Apple in less than a month, scores of stylistas have been salivating over the chic possibilities. Sensing a perfect opportunity to broadcast our fabulous vision of forty-plus style, Off Broadway Boutique has decided to participate in Fashion’s Night Out global celebration by hosting a party at our store on the Upper West Side. In promoting our collection of elegant pieces to women over forty of all sizes, we have succeeded in tapping into an often-overlooked market that is quickly asserting itself as a lucrative force in retail.
“One of the reasons why we’ve been successful for over forty years is because we’re one of the few boutiques in New York that specifically caters to real women,” owner and Countess of Glamour, Lynn Dell, proudly declares. “We’ve never been about chasing the latest trends because we’ve been far too busy establishing timeless style amongst fifty-something women who live for looking fabulous.” With a vast selection of wardrobe pieces and glamorous jewelry that are handpicked by Ms. Dell and her seasoned staff, Off Broadway Boutique thrives in presenting its faithful clientele with choices that will fit every size, style, and way of life. In participating in Fashion’s Night Out, we plan on establishing a new kind of lucrative customer – the 40+ fashionista.
With our personalized take on styling for bodies that range from slender to full-figured, Off Broadway Boutique has earned a well-deserved reputation as a New York fashion institution in a way that exceeds other designer boutiques and department stores. As noted fashion blogger, Ari Seth Cohen observes, visiting the shop will prompt the most selective of stylistas to spend “all afternoon playing dress-up in a collection of over 40 years of new or vintage clothing and accessories.” It is that enthusiastic outlook that Off Broadway Boutique hopes to inspire in the fashion industry’s impression of women over forty who embrace that baby boomer chic.

Owner and Countess of Glamour, Lynn Dell, finds style inspiration everywhere she goes. From the markets in Turkey to the streets of Mexico, a vacation is never just a vacation – there is shopping to be done! It was no surprise that upon returning from her weekend with the family in the Hamptons for her granddaughter Olivia’s 13th birthday that Lynn had style inspiration to share.
She describes each event as an affair to remember: from dinner at Tutto Italiano and speaking to Katie Couric who is celebrating her father’s 90th birthday to an equally important milestone – a 13th birthday celebration at the beach which “looked like a scene out of a Fellini movie… as the sun set over the water while my gorgeous girls carried umbrellas from Thailand.”
Naturally, this image left one thing on her mind – umbrellas! As every glamorous woman knows, from forty plus to baby boomer, style goes from head to toe accessories included! We’d like to present to you our cheerful 2-in-1 parasol umbrella by Anii Natural Fashions. We’d imagine that if Catherine Deneuve had her way she would’ve been carrying this in the Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
The parasol/umbrella features a cheerful multi-color fabric parasol cover adorned with intricate embroidery designs. The cover can be easily removed to unveil a multi-color umbrella featuring a cartoon image. It even comes with a whistle to call a cab!

Rain or shine we’ve got our style eye out for you!
With love, OBB

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.

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.

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!

Hello, ladies. Are you seeking that one-of-a-kind summer fashion that’ll set you apart from the rest of the pack? If so, you’ve come to the right place because Off Broadway Boutique prides itself on designing original pieces for 40+ women that sizzle. What’s more; each garment is crafted with the utmost quality by our expert seamstress in our in-house design studio. As you peruse through three of our latest additions to our exclusive collection, you’ll see that each pick has its own je-ne-sais-quoi.
First up is our black and white sequin poncho – an excellent evening top that is ideal for hosting an outdoor shindig in. Not only does the swirl pattern give off that psychedelic look, the square sequin shine adds glamour to the material. Its voluminous silhouette belies a modest v-neck neckline that rests above the cleavage. Whether you choose to wear this piece with a regular pair of leggings for a simple look or a pair of jeggings, otherwise known as jean leggings, for that extra pizzazz, you’ll certainly stand head and shoulders above the other fifty-something fashionistas!
Black and White Sequin Look Poncho (Limited Edition), $317, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique
Another piece that has the same arresting effect is our sheer black puffy-sleeved jacket, which shares a similar voluminous silhouette. However, the sheer organza material lends this piece a dreamier and ethereal look. With a lighter-than-air feel that contrasts with its larger-than-life style, it’s just the thing to wear to an evening Broadway show. Just as dramatic as it is sophisticated, this jacket possesses a long and loose necktie and puffy-shouldered sleeves that offer both comfort and luxury. Pair this with a dressy camisole underneath and you’ll be sure to be the best-dressed lady at the theatre.
Black Organza Puffed Sleeved Jacket, $317, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique
A piece that commands attention, our red three frog-button jacket possesses the bold and fearless quality that speaks to many of our fantastic 40+ clientele. Inspired by a regal Asian style, this raw silk dupioni piece boasts three intricately-woven frog buttons that are designed into an elaborate twist pattern. Each button keeps the jacket slightly closed, making it as useful as it is stylish. Regular sleeves are folded up once for a simple ¾ sleeve look, while the large square front pockets on the bottom of the jacket balances the boxy silhouette. What’s more; the collar is versatile to be worn as a great way to work your fabulous updo with your sophisticated jewelry or down to complement a simple bob hairdo with classic jewelry. Wear these with a dressy pair of capris to a summer evening wedding and you’ll be one fabulously fashionable baby boomer!
Silk Dupioni Jacket with Black Frog Embellishments, $317, exclusively at Off Broadway Boutique
No matter what your idea of unique is, you’ll be confidently stepping out in style when you choose our exclusive pieces. Not only will they guarantee that the spotlight will be on you, each in-house studio-created garment has that lavish look that distinguish you as a forty-something stylista. Keep this in mind when you shop at Off Broadway Boutique and you’ll certainly be one dashing diva!
