Get the Look! Dazzle in Emeralds like Elizabeth Taylor

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010
Recently we spotted an article in the New York Post featuring a gallery opening in Paris at the Grand Palais with over 600 Bulgari pieces.  One featured piece is a breath-taking diamond and emerald necklace which was a wedding gift from Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor.

We couldn’t help but notice its resemblance to our Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald and Rhinestone Drop Clip Earrings! The earrings feature medium square emeralds  surrounded by emerald-cut rhinestones set in silver for a vintage look with modern appeal. For the baby boomer fashionista that wants a little bit more, Kenneth Jay Lane has crafted the Emerald and Rhinestone Drop Earrings with Emerald Drop.  For less than $200 a pair, probably much less than Richard Burton paid, we’d say this is quite a steal for the woman over 50!

Try Out Our Terrific Tie-Dye Shirts This Spring!

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Hello, ladies! Now that Spring is here, it’s time to snag that style staple that will make your wardrobe sizzle. If you’re at a loss as to what to look for this season, you’ve come to the right place because Off Broadway Boutique has the perfect piece for you – our tie dyed shirt. A gorgeous must-have that can be worn with every kind of bottom, it adds that special individuality to your look. What’s more; every woman of every age can wear this shirt – whether it’d be as a solo piece or paired up with simple silver jewelry for an extra fashion boost.

Made of 100% cotton, these vintage men’s shirts come in sizes small to 2XL for every woman of every shape to enjoy. After carefully choosing each simple long-tailed shirt, artist and designer, Ronald Jackson, transform them into a work of art by tie-dying or painting each piece by hand. In using each shirt as the canvas of his creativity, he provides them with a uniqueness that you would be hard-pressed to find in other Spring pieces. No two tie-dye designs are the same and transform each fashionable piece into three-dimensional artwork for the fabulous femme.

These tie-dyed shirts come in a rainbow of colors that reflect every kind of mood that you’re in. Whether you’d like to add some sparkle to your style for a night out on the town or a burst of freshness to your daytime ensemble, they’re ideal for your Springtime wardrobe. For that extra pizzazz, we also carry these tie-dyed shirts in striped gold or silver. Designed with washable metallic paint, they share the same flair for art as their tie-dyed counterparts. Whatever fashion path you decide to take, take heart in fact that you’re bringing this creativity to life every time you slip these shirts on. Priced at $137, they’re ripe for collecting as the go-to piece that you’d be able to wear any and everywhere!!

An innovative fashion force since 1978, Ronald Jackson has always had his finger on the pulse of artistic style. Featured in Vogue Magazine in 1984 as one of the creators of the ‘Downtown’ look, his tie-dye shirt collection has garnered fans in such high-profile stars as Diana Ross, Joan Jett, and Naomi Judd. While his striped tie-dyed shirts have been made famous by both Ross and Judd, his signature tie-dye shirt was brought to prominence by Jett. His mission to bring wearable art to the masses is what prompted Off Broadway Boutique to feature his shirts in our Spring collection.

After all, you deserve to look effortlessly fabulous this season!
