Why Bother Dressing Well?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

When Off Broadway Boutique and Lynn Dell first stumbled upon 365daysofstyle.com we were in love!  We live for glamour and style, we celebrate the forty plus and baby-boomers confident in their aesthetic, we believe in looking and feeling our best always, and yes Heather Marie Claus’ 365daysofstyle.com brings you all of that and more. 

In particular we are most excited about the “weekly lessons” -  an on-going project which gathers real women to discuss questions about style.  As Lynn Dell, Owner and Countess of Glamour, loves to share her passion for style we thought this was a perfect opportunity.   After serving as a fashion commentator at hotels and benefits in addition to hosting her own successful fashion television show for 10 years, she truly knows a thing or two about style!

This week she answers the question: Why Bother Dressing Well?  See how she did and tell us what you think!

OFF BROADWAY BOUTIQUE INTRODUCES BABY BOOMER CHIC TO FASHION ELITE

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

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.

Accent Your Style with Our Posh Parasol!

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

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!
