Local Fashion Designer Shows off Her Colorful Palm Beach Inspired Wears
Have you been dreaming of the beach? This cat and mouse game the weather has been playing in Richmond has me wanting to hop on a plane and hit Miami, where I know it will be warm and sunny every day without fail.
If I wasn’t ready enough to shop for spring fashion, then I made it official yesterday at Carreras Jewelers. Jules Reid of Jules Reid (That’s the way to do it!) hosted a trunk show. She showed off her newest pieces and hosted some pretty serious discounts on last year’s designs. If you didn’t stop by, you missed out, Richmond!
I had the best time getting to know the Richmond transplant. Her history takes her from the New York Stock Exchange to the shores of Virginia Beach, and now to Richmond. The mother of three says her designs are inspired by Palm Beach. She hates matching her clothes and thinks that dressing in all black is taking the easy way out of fashion. Teggy French is her muse and model. We got along just fine…
I touched and tried on her bright patterned pieces. I had some of the Carreras ladies model for Sweet Sauce. The inspiring patterns and flowing cut of each piece was enough to make everyone light up when they tried them on. Me included. I shared a complete outfit of the dress I took home here. I even played around with a head scarf. I don’t have photos of that, but Teggy French can show you how.
Looking for a dress for wedding season? Forget Rent the Runway. Don’t literally wear what everyone else is wearing. Invest in something truly different, something that will make you come alive…
Nice to meet you, Jules! You’ll be hearing from me soon!
So bummed to miss this! I was out of town. I’m headed to Miami at the end of the month and am in desperate need to branch out of my winter uniform of black on black!
I’ll have to invite you to some more shopping in RVA!
