Style Memo - Chulette takes us to new lows

Independent Designers. Emerging Trends. Essentially we're the pencil toting, note-takers of fashion; memo pads in hand, we follow the independent runways and young designers as they show their collections. We scour fashion trends, find the best and brightest and doll 'em out to ya. Our interviews get you inside the heads of fashion-mavens, trend-setters and designers; plus we go behind the scenes at the shows offering first dibs on who to watch and what you'll want to get your hands on. With our monthly video installments, we'll take you around to visit boutiques and help you put together outfits that you can run out and own tonight before dinner. We'll show case some of the sleekest designs from a bevy of talented up and coming designers. Whether you're a total fashion-head and love to be in the know about the latest trends and newest designer darlings, or you're a classical-beauty kind of gal who just wants a few ideas for putting together something fun for a Saturday night out, we've got you covered. -Kari Check out our video installments:

Chulette takes us to new lows

Dressing for winter is hard, and getting all fancy is even more dificult. I mean, how to make a statement without freezing? I’ve always been in love with dresses with low backs; its a nice way to be elegant, feminine and show a little skin without showing all your cards. When I was visiting Seaplane in Portland, I fell in love with this darling little frock by Chulette and I’m pleased to announce that Chicago’s own Habit carries this NYC designer’s line as well. Better yet, she’s having a sale on her website; empowering all those resessionistas out there who are looking for a great day to night piece.

Keep an eye out for even more low backed pieces from her spring line, I know I will!
