I Want A Camel

Alright, so I don't necessarily want a real live camel (though imagine the statement I would make riding a camel down the road to school!), but I absolutely want all things camel coloured this season. A long time, yet somewhat forgotten classic in the palette of fall colours, camel is the perfect colour to update your wardrobe in transitioning from the lazy summer daze to the cool weeks of fall.

Chloé designer Hannah MacGibbon has illustrated everything there is to love about this camel, taupe, beige (whatever you want to call it) colour in her Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. Just looking at (or drooling over) this season's collection, one can understand the sentiment behind the collection is to make women feel good in their clothes once again. "It's so important to me for women to feel good. Sexiness and confidence come from feeling relaxed in your clothes. It's not about wearing a piece of architecture," says MacGibbon, and this fashion blogger could not agree more.

Please accept my apologies for not having written in quite some time, but I have been busy with some exciting felicity&fritz work. And let me be clear fashion girls, the outcome of what I, as well as the entire felicity&fritz team, have been working on is exciting not only for us but for you as well (seriously, the level of excitement is of epic proportions). So, drumroll please! (is anyone else imagining a drumroll, because I kinda am right now.)

felicity&fritz is opening a second location!

(I told you! Crazy. Epic. Exciting!!!)

For the past four years, felicity&fritz has been established as Kingston's favourite footwear and accessories boutique. The opening of a second location is a direct response to all of the positive feedback we have received from our ever growing list of clients. 

So, what's the difference between the two locations? felicity&fritz will be relocating to a larger retail location, while our current boutique will transform into felicity. Think of felicity as the younger version of felicity&fritz. Unlike felicity&fritz, felicity will be positioned more toward the younger fashion girl, doing so with more eclectic styles and price conscious lines. 

What will not change between the two locations? Our dedication to providing elite customer service. We love all of our fashion girls and to make every visit you may have memorable! After all, fashion is an indulgence everyone should enjoy guilt free.

Donald J. Pliner Wants To Know What You Ate For Lunch

While in New York City, we had the amazing opportunity to not only meet Donald J. Pliner personally in his Manhattan showroom, but also to view his Spring 2011 collection up close in a private fashion show (I was literally one foot away from the runway with a model practically towering over me).

The view from Donald J. Pliner's New York City Showroom. In a word - awesome.

Throughout the viewing, Mr. Pliner spoke of each shoe adorning the model's feet. Each shoe had a story behind it's design - whether it be function (treads were added to the soles of the wedges designed by Lisa Pliner as she is always running after her daughter) or charity (footwear supporting both Peace For The Children Foundation and 4 Paws) At one point during the appointment, however, Mr. Pliner took a moment to share his belief of how important customer service is. 

"What did you have for lunch three days ago? Most people cannot remember what they ate three days ago, but they will remember terrible service six months or a year later. No assumptions when it comes to customer service. Always go above what is expected."

This is exactly how felicity&fritz approaches working with our own clients. We take the time to not only know our product inside and out, but to get to know you personally so that we can better attend to your needs any and every time you visit felicity&fritz.

A very special thank you to Mr. Donald Pliner for inviting us to your gorgeous showroom.

Matt Bernson

While researching footwear lines, I came across Matt Bernson. Named after the company's founder and head designer (an ex-construction worker), Matt Bernson designs women's shoes which are hand produced in artisinal workshop factories that use the highest quality craftsmanship, eco-responsible materials and advanced comfort-engineering. With a company motto of "Sex + Comfort", to wear a Matt Bernson shoe is just that - each shoe holds a sort of understated sexy  feel while being undeniably comfortable.

felicity&fritz is bringing you "Sex + Comfort" with Matt Bernson this Fall 2010! 

This is just one of the many styles coming into felicity&fritz from our

new and exclusive line Matt Bernson!
