What to wear when the clock strikes 12

New Year's planning must already be in full swing. Do you know what you're wearing to welcome in the new year? How about a LBD from Twinkle by Wenlan ($295). This little number has a handful of details that'll make you stand out in the sea of LBD's. With two front pleated pockets and a slight scoop back, you'll be sure to turn heads as you walk by. To heighten the festive feeling, wear it with colored tights and grey ankle boots like the picture above. Say goodbye to 2008 in style!

Happy Holidays

It's the end of 2008 and we made it! There are many things for which to be thankful. Cheers to family, friends, laughter and prosperity. Warmest holiday wishes from your friends at Josef Boutique.

Twinkle by Wenlan pre-spring 09 at Josef

Twinkle's gator blouse along with 3 other items arrived yesterday. It's made of 100% silk and has a multi-color alligator print all over. It has a deep v-neck and hits well below the hip ($260). The blouse looks great with dark denim and black. Wenlan Chia also carried the alligator motif in her Twinkle Living line. Now that's living a coordinated lifestyle. Enjoy your afternoon.

Josef photo shoot

We've been busy here at Josef. This weekend I styled our photo shoot for the site. It was hours long, but we were happy with the results. We set up a studio in the shop and it took up about 85% of the space. I learned a lot during the process. If you ever find yourself having to take pictures of clothing, here are a few things to have handy: double-sided tape, binder clips, a lint brush, sewing pins, and scissors.

Now that the photos are taken, I can focus on Christmas shopping. Only 10 days left!
