Wren spring fashion week party

Wren designer and founder, Melissa Coker, with models during Spring Fashion Week

We thought that this is a very relevant picture since we just received Wren's Spring line. We love to see how girls wear the clothing we have in the store out on the streets in their everyday lives. Melissa is actually wearing our black Full Mini in this picture with a purple top, blue cardigan and black flats - so cute!
Also, on the right a model is wearing the Sepia Full Mini we have in the shop. Pairing the skirt with a golden cardigan, white tee and white oxfords is genius. We're inspired by the color palette of the clothing - true to Wren form elegant and intelligent. For more of Melissa's pictures click here.

One of Spring's new silhouettes

Josef strives to keep you current and remain on the cutting edge of fashion. One of the newest bodies that we love and have in the shop is the Chameau Blouse by Paul & Joe Sister. It's like the one pictured above, but in a slate/brown color. We love how it's styled with the paperbag-waist pants and strappy wedge boots. For Spring, choose relaxed pieces at the same time keeping them refined.
If the tie-waist pants aren't something you'd normally wear, try the blouse tucked out with dark jeans and gladiator flats. Accessorize the outfit with a luxuriously big bag, gold bangles and a men's-size watch. Along with the great cut, the Chameau Blouse has a must-have price, it's $88.00 and made of a Lyocell and Cotton blend. The weather seems to be warming up, so treat yourself to a little bit of luxury for a basic price! Have a great afternoon.

Royal Albert 100 years

We saw this in a home magazine yesterday wanted to share it with you. It's a Royal Doulton 10-piece boxed set of tea cups and saucers from 1950-1990. It's priced at $129.99 from $260.00 on the Royal Doulton web site. We're not sure how long the special offer will last, so we suggest getting your set today! We thought the cups would be great to write about because they really match the personality of the shop and, like Josef, it's a collection of fine pieces that come together to tell a cohesive story. We also love the price point. Yes, ladies, we'll always share the deals with you, and our story for Spring is as follows.

To adapt to the current times, Josef Boutique has brought in more entry-level pieces from our favorite designers. For Spring 2009, we have 100% cotton tops and dresses from Steven Alan, Wren and New York's much buzzed about It Girl Catherine Holstein. Jewelry is another option for our cost-cautious following. We have beautifully delicate necklaces from LA designer, Alisa Michelle. Prices start at $66. Most importantly, to do our part for the economy, Josef offers high quality clothing and denim designed and manufactured in the USA.

Steven Alan spring group 2 coming soon to Josef

We wanted to give you a little preview of the second group of Steven Alan's Spring Collection. Pictured above is the Soma Silk Dress in navy/red floral. We love this dress for Spring with one of our new Alisa Michelle necklaces, the perfect pair of black Lanvin flats and a Derek Lam bag. Even better, this dress can be worn now in the not-so-hot weather with a chunky gray cardigan and flat knee boots. We're excited to be getting this cute little dress at the end of March.

In the meantime, we have our new Spring clothing, which is a collection of cotton outwear, tops, dresses and a mix of flirty skirts and shorts, in store now! Our Fall and Holiday clothing is still on sale. Check out our SALE items online or in the shop ASAP. We hope you have a wonderful afternoon!

happy monday, picture's up!

We had a great weekend in the shop running our Shopping Benefit for the Family Service Agency of San Mateo Country. Thank you to those who shopped and enjoyed Mini Cakes from Sweet Breams! Your support means so much to us.

We're still loving the Inkblot Tee from Wren. It looks very cute with either of the Dorothy Lee Cardigans and the Wren Anorak. Next week Josef will be closed on Tuesday, 3/24. We'll be on the road shopping for Fall, exciting!

What major pieces you are planning to buy for Fall? Will it be a great coat, a wonderfully chunky knit sweater, or more fabulous jeans to add to your growing collection of designer denim?
