Friday Fun Day

Lately at Lisa August we have been very busy, and my designing has been put on the back burner a little more than I want it to be, so I took this gorgeous not too hot not too cold 'summer Friday' to just design for the fall line. Let's call it Lisa August ME Time...I'm really liking some of the styles I've come up with, and I think they are very Fall, very fun and very easy to wear!

I love both of these, and think the two differing styles can make a lot of ladies happy!

I love this play on tortoise frames!! It makes me smile:)

I was going to take a picture of something, and when I looked at my phone's viewfinder I was appalled at the mess!

I love this piece, it has nice weight to it, and lays very nicely. It's ladylike but fun at the same time, like some of Lisa August's biggest fans!

It's Almost That Time Again...

It's the end of April, and I'm starting to gear up for the May ENK Accessories Circuit next week, that starts on one of my favorite holidays, Cinco de Mayo. I thought it would feel like I took a break between shows, but the gap between February and May did not seem very big this season, I can't believe it's already here! Lisa August will be showing a lot of our Spring and Summer best sellers that are available for immediate delivery, plus a new color group, the Orchids that are perfect for early fall, especially mixed with tortoise and black.

So come see us May 5-7th at the Accessory Circuit, Pier 94 booth # 3206 and give us a reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

What's Up With Lisa August

I know I've been a little quiet with the blog for the past few weeks, so I wanted to share a little bit about what has been going on over at Lisa August Headquarters. We've been waiting for Spring to start, and I think it finally is, like today. I'm hoping this will bring some people out of hibernation and into some stores for some spring shopping. It's been a tough winter on us all, and I want my stores and friends to bounce back from this!

This will be our first spring at Lisa August, I love watching the seasons change, and in our new digs we have these great windows and they have been bringing in so much light since the time change, and it's been really nice on the days that it has been sunny out. As spring unfolds itself, I have begun working on my fall line, and I'm getting excited but am SO not ready for there to ever be a fall!

We have been very fortunate to get some orders from larger retailers while we wait for our beloved boutiques to thaw out. I finally developed an earring card for Lisa August that I need to ship for our Gilt order (check us out at the end of April-we'll have lots of styles that we don't sell anywhere else!)

So one night I took home a bunch of earring cards and stamped them at my kitchen table. I bought the stamp from Casey Rubber Stamps in the East Village, if you ever need any stamps you should check them out. I emailed my design et voila, a few days later I had my stamp and I shopped locally! I love how the cards came out, so I think it was a win for everyone.

I'll be in touch!

Spring Ahead, Fall's Back

While we patiently await spring to arrive in New York, I find myself designing the fall line. I've read up on the upcoming trends, I've checked out the RTW shows via my computer desk, and I've dug deep inside my gut to come up with the new colors and some new style inspiration for fall.

Without giving too much away, I've decided on some tortoises, deep greens, blues, cranberries and browns, a winter white, black, and some other familiar hues that always make the cut.

The colors will be subtle and wearable. When I looked through my favorite looks I pulled from the runway, I was surprised by how neutral and monotone the palette was. Maybe I'm getting boring in my 'old age' but I will look at it as I need to design a fabulous line that will dress up all of these beautiful clothes!

Some of my favorite looks that need some Lisa August love:
