			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hello, ladies! Are you fretting about making that flawless impression on your sweetheart this year? Well, you need not worry because <a href="http://www.boutiqueoffbroadway.com"><span style="color: red;"><strong><em>Off Broadway Boutique</em></strong></span></a> is here to bring the fifty-plus spice to your style! After all, we’ve got a lot of <a href="http://www.boutiqueoffbroadway.com/shop.php"><span style="color: red;"><strong><em>amazing accessories</em></strong></span></a> that you will fall head over heels for. And if you’re not sure just where to start with your search, we’ve got a couple of pieces that we think capture the spirit of baby boomer Valentine’s Day style to a tee, such as our <em>Timmy Woods</em> quilted heart bag:<br />
<img src="http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/tracydamas/pinktimmywoodsbag.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=220554718056&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Carnation Pink <em>Timmy Woods</em> Quilted Heart Bag, Auctioned by Re-Runs at <em>Off Broadway Boutique&#8217;s eBay Shop</em></strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Designed with an intricate quilted heart pattern, these Beverly Hills style handbags provide that exclusive look that is coveted by many. Add its surprisingly spacious interior and it’s guaranteed to cap off your Valentine’s Day look. Should you decide that you’d like to jazz things up a bit, our lime green version will absolutely fit the bill!<br />
<img src="http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/tracydamas/greentimmywoodsbag.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=220554706157"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Lime Green<em>Timmy Woods</em> Quilted Heart Bag, auctioned by Re-Runs at <em>Off Broadway Boutique&#8217;s eBay Shop</em></strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">It has the same whimsical feel as its pink counterpart, but also stands on its own as a scene stealer. What’s more, it’s versatile enough for you to wear wherever you and your beloved decide to celebrate February 14th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">However, if you’re in the mood for something that’ll accentuate your figure while adding that Valentine’s flair, we suggest that you look into our vintage <em>Escada</em> heart belt:<br />
<img src="http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/tracydamas/escadaredbelt.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=220554732059"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Red Vintage<em>Escada</em> Textured Leather Belt, Auctioned by Re-Runs at <em>Off Broadway Boutique&#8217;s eBay Shop</em></strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Embossed with gleaming hearts on each corner of the rectangular gold buckle, it is equally as chic as it is fanciful. We imagine that is the look that you’re aiming for when you dress for your sweetheart, which is why we’re sure that he’d appreciate how well this textured leather belt hugs your curves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Should you prefer a more mod look, you should seriously consider our vintage <em>Sonia Rykiel</em> belt as a companion piece to your sizzling Valentine’s Day outfit:<br />
<img src="http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/tracydamas/rykielredbelt.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Constructed with buttery soft leather than belies the tough hammered gold buckle, it adds the sass that will surely keep his eyes on you all night. In addition, this timeless belt is great for you to wear with one of our <a href="http://www.boutiqueoffbroadway.com/product_listing.php?cPath=67"><span style="color: red;"><strong><em>snazzy dresses</em></strong></span></a>.

<p>A month later, Escada has failed to reach the required stockholder acceptance level for its bond exchange plan and <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601100&amp;sid=akbcWLDK1KYs" target="_blank">is meeting today</a> to discuss plans to file for insolvency. Under German law, planned insolvency <a href="http://www.wwd.com/business-news/escada-s-financial-woes-mount-2236376?browsets=1250111098361" target="_blank">is the closest procedure</a> to bankruptcy, as the country does not have the equivalent of Chapter 11.

<p>Escada is not the only fashion house in financial troubles lately.  A few weeks ago, Christian Lacroix revealed that there was practically no money coming into the brand, and that the designer himself has been working for free for a long time.  While there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Lacroix, as a buyer has possibly come to the rescue, we can only hope that the same will be true for Escada.</p>
