Valentine's Day - Chic & Sweet at Ferragamo

Valentine's Day!  Thank goodness this holiday dedicated to that special someone falls right in the middle of Winter.  After a long January of luxury shopper austerity - February 14th gives gentlemen a reason to shop.  After the December holiday season, this is the first "must buy" opportunity since Christmas.  

This year there is a happy coincidence in that PINK is back in a big way for 2016.  While this candy color never really disappears from boutiques, it's not always a trend and fashionable as it is this year. 

LUXURIOUS SIMPLICITY FROM FERRAGAMO RUNWAY - AS SEEN ON RODEO DRIVE.**It is worth noting that the industry leading color forecaster PANTONE did choose a pale pink shade - ROSE Quartz as one of the two colors of the year. **

Even more interesting is noting the other color of the year is a pale baby blue called SERENITY.  Reminds me of one of my favorite looks from the Ferragamo Spring Runway!! Massimiliano continues to keep his finger on the pulse of what is trending, and his instincts are helping to set those trends for the industry. FLORAL PRINT AND STRUCTURE STRIKE A PEFECT BALANCE - $1,590.00

Whatever husbands or boyfriends are looking for in your boutique - you have options.   Handbags, Shoes, Belts, bijoux, or Fragrance - how will he choose just one?  Be prepared to help him edit and make his decision.  His happiness just might depend on it!

She's not into pink at all?  No worries.  The seductive scent of the latest Signorina fragrance will make this Valentine's day one to remember!  Orange Blossoms and Tuberose create a sensuous blend in Misteriosa.  *Fans of Tom Ford's Black Orchid will be drawn to it* 

She doesn't wear fragrance?  Coco Chanel said that meant "she had no future" - but who are we to judge?  Well follow SIGNORINA MISTERIOSA - THE NEW ALLURING FRAGRANCE FROM THE SIGNORINA SERIESCoco's lead anyway and give her PEARLS!  Bijoux Pearls.  The dangling earrings, large pendant necklace and stackable rings are popping up in editorials around the world.   Last weekend in San Francisco, a gentlemen brought his wife in to the boutique after having seen them in a magazine..  The two sat together as she tried on the samples - perfectly timed during the SS16 Trunk Show.  This doting husband had called the boutique and asked about the earrings.  When he was told the trunk show would be taking place on that weekend, he made a date.  That's luxury customer service at it's best!   He reserved both the long dark earrings and matching necklace.  His wife tried on a few RTW jackets before leaving and something tells me - she will be back.   A wonderful connection - all from a little costume jewelry pearl earring.   Life is in the details!  FASHIONABLE BIJOUX PEARLS - AMAZINGLY AFFORDABLE!
