Pencil It In: The Magaschoni Trunk Show

Magaschoni

Join us this week for a first look at fresh spring designs from Magaschoni. Stop by The Lake Forest Shop Wed March 13 through Fri March 15 and snag a piece (or two or three) to liven up your wardrobe and change your look with the seasons. The designer offers the modern styles you crave with a timeless twist, combining functionality, quality and luxury.

This season Magaschoni didn’t disappoint. The new spring collection features the custom colors, innovative prints and delicate details we’ve come to expect, but the best part of the new arrivals are the unexpected ways the designer incorporates these features. Whether it’s a color blocked cashmere sweater in a vibrant orange shade or bird printed silk charmeuse pant, the clean lines, simplicity, and tailored finishing make Magaschoni’s spring styles a must-buy.

Impeccable Tailoring

Did you know that The Lake Forest Shop has the most fabulous tailoring department on the North Shore? Our ladies have been perfecting wardrobes for years and years and have a very loyal following. We welcome you to bring in items from other stores or even pieces from your closet that you haven’t worn in years which may need a little updating. Our turn around time is speedy and we know you will be pleased with our attention to detail.

Peek through your closet for an old blazer that may need a lapel narrowed or a dress that may need a little hem to bring it up to date. Maybe you found a perfect winter coat last season but never had time to get it tailored to fit just right? Come on in to see our ladies in the tailor shop. What’s old can be new again!

Fabulous Accessories. Meredith Wendell.

We are so thrilled to have Meredith Wendell’s accessories at The Lake Forest Shop this fall. Meredith’s line suits her personality completely. A darling girl, raised in West Virginia just minutes from the famed Greenbrier Resort, Meredith was clearly inspired by the fabulous Dororthy Draper’s bold use of color.

Meredith launched her own collection of large and small accessories after honing her skills with a number of high profile designers.  International publications are smitten. She has received rave reviews from Vogue and Bazaar to the Wall Street Journal. Needless to say, we are so excited to have her at The Lake Forest Shop.

I particularly adore the color blocked pinks and oranges. You are sure to be charmed by Meredith Wendell whether you favor large totes for everyday or slim clutches for just the necessities.

Welcome Alexis Bittar Jewelry!

We are so excited that Alexis Bittar jewelry designs are now being carried in the store!  Alexis Bittar uses gold, silver and semi precious stones in his work and much of his jewelry has texture and off the beaten path architecture.   He is a master with Lucite pieces and in 1990 Alexis was hand carving his first Lucite collection from his own apartment.  While trying to sell his pieces on the streets of New York he was discovered by the fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman’s which led to his creation of collections for brands such as Burberry and Michael Kors and even creating pieces for the Sex and the City ladies.  Currently, Alexis Bittar has boutiques in NYC and Los Angeles.  We know that you will love his unique and colorful pieces, so stop in the store soon!
