    Joanna’s Top 12 Must-haves for fall 2010 | No Comments »

    August 18th, 2010

    So I’m on vacation and I’m thinking a lot about important things, like my fall wardrobe. (How else to combat the end of summer blues?) I’ve been studying the September issues of my favourite fashion magazines and reviewing all the new collections that are already pouring into LIV (can’t wait for the big fall unveiling next week when Julie gets back from her honeymoon!)  I also did some intense window shopping in NYC this week while on a buying trip for linens. And this is what I’ve come up with for my Top 12 Must-have Items for Fall:

    1. Tweed hound’s tooth blazer (Imagine: horseback riding)

    2. Skinny cargos

    3.  Silk pocket shirt

    4. Camel coloured-sweater

    5. All Saints Booties with buckles

    6. Velvet blazer

    7. Silk holiday dress

    8. Military jacket

    9. Velvet boyfriend shirt

    10. Leather leggings (That’s right. Leather pants. It’s time to bring them back.)

    11. Black skinny-bootcuts (May as well bring back boot-cuts too. But these are a more current version.)

    12. Diane Von Furstenburg dress in army green and dusty pink (my 2 favourite colours this fall)

      Luckily, I can pick up most of my list at LIV! And so can you!!

    Julie Getting Married… | 7 Comments »

    August 7th, 2010
    Yesterday was the much anticipated wedding of my Creative Assistant Extraordinaire, Julie, and our Social Media Expert, Jeremy Watt, at our home here in Kennebunk, Maine. I’m a writer and it’s difficult to find words to express my awe over the execution of their combined creative vision. The details were exquisite, the vibe in the air was joyful and from the moment the beautiful bride walked down the aisle to the very last dance, it was sheer perfection.

    As a way to share the experience with everyone in our Au Lit + LIV family who could not be here, and as a special little tribute to Jule + Jer, herewith is an album of the day’s festivities. And for those of you who love what we do at LIV + Au Lit, you’ll find this a feast of merchandising, graphic design and fashion excellence!

    Enjoy! And to Jule + Jer, may you have a long, joyful life together. (And at Au Lit)
