Leather trending...

We've noticed a trend in the fashion scene--LEATHER!
Now, this trend isn't new, fashion does tend to have a cyclical life cycle...as leather has been done in everything imaginable!

We have found some really fabulous pieces to be added to your leather wardrobe immediately! Without being too wild--these are just right, and even better...they are faux leather, but look like the real thing!

Here are some of our favorite pieces in the store right now--
Bailey 44, $210
Hue, $38

Happy Monday!!

Fall favorites

One of my favorite things about fall is the cute tights and socks to wear with boots. As soon as we got these in from Hue I couldn't wait for the weather to get just a LITTLE (emphasis on little) bit cooler so that I could wear these.



Finally it has! The great thing about both these tights and socks is that they actually keep you warm; so not only are they a great fashion statement, but they are also practical!

Stop in and pick up your favorite pair of Hue this weekend!

Here is a sneak peak to some beautiful glass jewels we will be getting in a few weeks...and a little background on the artist herself, Etta Kostick

Etta Kostick is a self taught jewelry designer living in Chicago who specializes in working with stained glass. Etta's first introduction to glass came at an early age; she was raised by glassblowers in Massachusetts, and at seven, they ignited a spark in her for the glassblowing medium of lampworking.

Trending...

We just got these great pants from David Kahn--that are a little bit trendy but you will get great use out of them. Because they are just a basic brown you will be able to wear them past the "colored denim" trend use by date :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mannequin Spotlight


Love this look--perfect for days like today, when you start to feel a little bit of fall.
The shirt and skirt are both Chan Luu. We have the top in a burnt red, brown, and navy as well--it's the perfect layering piece. Chan Luu did some great work on layering for fall, the skirt is actually 3 skirts on top of one another, so it gives a textured effect.
The vest is by Laurie B, and can be worn several ways, its a beautiful, basic black knit.
The bag is Big Buddha, a great color year round, and tons of pockets. The strap can also be removed.
The necklace is made by a company called Nuna, with beautiful eco-friendly designs. Such a cool piece.
The bracelet is our newest Anne Marie Chagnon accessory. Beautiful addition.

Be sure to stop in this weekend to check out this beautiful outfit and more!!

Meet the newest member at Panache!

Ale
I am currently enrolled at the accredited art school, Columbia College, where my focus is on visual merchandising and retail management. The courses I have taken at Columbia have taught me the business side of fashion along with executing my ideas for displays.
I have always been interested in creative outlets such as music, art, and fashion. With my mother being my biggest supporter, it is because of her and my passion that has led me to follow my goals. From a young age it was looking at the pictures in fashion magazines in her salon which began my interest in fashion.
Having worked in the retail industry for over 5 years, I plan to further my career and abilities at Panache. In this very exciting retail environment I hope to develop interpersonal skills along with creating eye catching displays. The opportunity to work with creative people doing something they believe in is exactly what I have found in Panache.

Transition...

As the end of summer gets closer we can't help but think about the beginning of autumn--crunching leaves, football games, apple cider...with these thoughts always comes the question, "What am I going to wear?"

If you're looking for great clothes that can take you from summer to fall you have found the right store. It can sometimes be a struggle to dress correctly; just because the month is September does not mean it won't be 90 and sunny.
Remember New Years Eve last year? It was in the 60s!

Living in Chicago means you never know what tomorrows weather may bring, that being said...keep checking in our blog (and stop by the store!) to see what we have that can take you from August to October and beyond...



Like this wonderful Raj vest--it can be worn as a vest, belted, or pulled over your arms. We have it in this beautiful rust color as long as navy, magenta, teal, and black. A great addition to leggings and a turtleneck, or peeking out under your coat. Trendy AND transitional!
