Just forget about black.

Ignore it.

Look below and you will see why.

This is Josiane Lacoste:  client who dares!

She had this photo shoot done (and this is not her first) just for the fun of it; just because it makes her feel good.

She is wearing the green Bella dress ( I have one left in XL).

Picolinos shoes on sale $178

Black cerise dress with red dots $199

For those of you who do not know:  These are scarfettes!

They were invented by me, but the adorable term “scarfette” was coined by my dear friend Nadine.

They are also called mini-scarves, hair ties and ribbon-ties by my clients.

Their purpose is multiple.  They can simply be tied around your neck to add a little touch of class.  They can be used as headbands or pony-tail ribbons.  They can be tied onto a camisole at the strap on one side just above the bust adding a textile detail of colour.  Their uses are multiple.

They cost $8 each

It has a huge hood that can be rushed in two directions:  around the face and down the centre back.  This allows you to adjust for pouring rain, romantic strolls or pull it all the way back into a ruffle collar.

It has two buttons and a belt that ties around the waist.  The coat is embellished in the centre back with appliqué and ribbons.

I made it in blue, green and black.  There is a black denim version of the same coat for fall that is not waterproof.  The coat is both feminine and functional.  I promise it will protect you from the rain.  It has a full skirt that give it a bit of a timeless vintage feel.  I call it the Fairytale raincoat.

All colours $380 S-XL

Gypsy skirt 100% American made cotton, $189

Ahhhhhhhhh.

The Halo headbands.  We have had them in our store now for a few months and thanks to Kate Duchess of Cambridge, they are a huge fashion item this Fall.  Yes, you heard it, I said Fall.  That is because all the Fall collections are starting to come into the store.  I will be doing a huge delivery of new designs this week and we already have the B-line Fall collection selling out fast.  That is not to say that you can’t still peruse our sale rack if you crave a last little treat.  But, back to headbands….

Maybe you can’t imagine an occasion for one of these, but I can help with that.  Are you going to a weeding?  A pic-nik? A birthday party?  Are you a waitress looking to get more tips?  Do you have short hair that you are trying patiently to grow out?  Are you cruising for a date on ladies night?

If you are a future bride, you should definitely come and see what we have to decorate your head.  I also make veils and fascinators for weddings.

This last one is so classy and classic.  It is lace decoupage and hand-sewn beads….so pretty and fancy.  It would look amazing in black hair.

All available at Boutique Katrin Leblond right now.

La belle Katrin m’a fait parvenir plusieurs de ses suggestions, mais j’ai retenu la robe « Princesse corail » que je trouve assez spectaculaire. Une robe 100% soie, pour 345$. Elle est merveilleuse non?

This magical dress is the last of it’s kind.  The production was a very small run.  I think I only made six dresses.  One of them was purchased as a wedding dress by a beautiful older woman getting married for the first time in her 50′s.  Here is the last dress.  If I remember well, it is a small….maybe a medium.  If it is meant for you, here it is waiting in the shining spot light.
