Headmistress

Here at Lustre we love everything from Headmistress. Jillian works very hard at bringing new and original head pieces. We just got a new order in store, just in time for the Holidays!

For the first time we have the Vintage fur headbands. I love these cause not only do they look great but they're very useful. The fur headband at only 65$ keep your ears warm all winter. We have them in 3 different colors!
We brought some new headdresses as well. These perfectly fit the head, I love how the feathers don't just stick right up but fall down and look more like a hat. (65$)
And our most popular style from her, the hippie stretch bands at only 25$ can be worn higher up as a head band or lower on the forehead. We have more then 10 different colors in stock.

Deborah Adams Holiday collection has arrived

Here at Lustre we pride ourselves at not only giving you great clothing but also accessories of good quality at an affordable price. In the last couple of days we've received tons of new stock from 2 of my favorite companies. Deborah Adams and Headmistress

Deborah's little pouches with long chain strap (60$) and Little pouch with fringe below ( my personal favorite 60$)

The Large fringe purses with chain strap (140$) we also have some medium pouches but I forgot to take a picture of them...oops (90$)

New Holiday Outfits!

Here are a few styles I've been working on for the last couple of weeks for the Holiday season. It's pretty obvious I'm having a slight obsession with metallics...

Here's the Tin Angel dress (125$), not only is it sequins but it's leopard, you'll definitely get noticed at any holiday party!


This lace has a great geometrical metallic design on it. I also lined it with a gray vintage lingerie fabric. This is a great party dress for the Holidays but will also look great this Spring with a jean jacket! (130$)


And then you all know how much I love separates. When I saw this denim I fell in love. The metallic snakes skin print is amazing!!! Hong Kong garden skirt 80$ and Someday Soon top 55$.

New Pants

American Night Pants in Black Prada Twill $125 ( I also made them in Burgundy) These are by far the sexiest pants I could have made! Stop by quickly cause they're fling out the door!

Pants!

American Night Pants 155 (also in black, Copper metallic and Burgundy)

Palazzo pants 145$

So for you guys that have known Lustre for a while, know that we specialize in skirts and dresses. But like you can see in the previous post I've added tons of tops and for the first time PANTS! We now have 2 styles The American Night pant that is a high waisted cigarette pant and by this weekend I should also have them in Burgundy and Black. And today I added the Palazzo Pant. I'm so in love with this new silhouette and I hope you will to!

Keeping you warm

Peaceful easy feeling top (75$). Well the name says it all, this drop shorter top is made of a chenille with an acrylic thread that resembles those amazing mohair sweaters that your grandma had!

So much to my dislike the weather has turned for the worst, the days have gotten shorter and the nights much cooler. But don't worry cause I've been working on some new tops to keep us all warm during the next few months without having to give up feeling like a girl!

Glory days crop top (75$). Made out of the coziest fleece with chiffon shoulders. It's just like your boyfriends Football jersey, well not just like but inspired by...

Stripper Sunset Tunic (75$). Made from a vintage knit, this top looks great with a pair of leggings or belted with your favorite pair of jeans or pencil skirt!

Flor and Laurence

So last Sunday Flor and her friend Laurence had an impromptu photo shoot with some of the new pieces we have in store! if you guys don't know Flor she's been assisting me in the shop since February and has an amazing eye for putting outfits together. Here are some of her favorite looks from the shop!

Stripper Sunset top worn with the new Temporary secretary skirt in Faux Suede!

New at Lustre

Adulteress dress in black cotton velvet

Back shot and what a back it is!

In Burgundy velvet (One of my favorite colors for this fall!)
Precious top made in a vintage lace ( we also have in black) and Because the night skirt made out of a beautiful silk cotton jacquard!

Leather vs nice Italian faux leather

So for the Fall collection I had picked up this amazing faux leather from Italy that draped like a dream and with it I made the Superstar skirt seen below!

I can't wait for these skirts to come into the shop , they're planned on arriving early September. What I want to know from you is why do we always want to go for real leather when most of us would never wear real fur! Isn't it the same?

Super cool Show coming to a town near you!

So I went to see a show last night and I wanted to share the experience with you. If you ever have the chance to see any or all of the acts please do yourself a favor and do so!

If you have read anything about any of these acts (Jason Collett, Zeus or Bahamas) then you know that these guys have been playing music together for years but what you don't know is that they are all so talented that they have produced music baby's . What was once one band is now 3 which makes for one of the coolest shows I've ever seen! Playing all together and taking turns performing each others songs! One great singer songwriter after the next! Something not to be missed!

My favorite dress!

So this season I've been doing things a little bit differently. The collection has gotten bigger and I've been trying to take a bit of time to make one of a kind ( sometimes 2 )dresses that are a bit dressier and involve a lot more hand stitching and detail then my regular Lustre dresses. We could call this line Lustre Gold????

In the last 2 days, I created this dream of a dress it's 3 layers of a vintage lingerie fabric with about 60 hand made chiffon flowers that were also hand stitched onto the dress. Really i made it for prom season but I would get married in it! ... If I were to get married...

Spring is finally here!

So Last week I finally flipped the store and Spring arrived at Lustre just in time for the sunny weather that's been gracing us these past few days. It's like the boutique just landed on South Beach in Miami! Just walking into the store makes me feel like summer is only a skip away!

Lustre's velvet for FW2010

So now that' I've shown you some of the velvet that graced the runways in NYC, here are some of the ones that I did for FW2010!

As most of you guys know this collection is one that I very proud off more pieces then ever, that's why I'm sharing some of them with you now! But remember there's still tons of amazing stuff coming in weekly for SS2010!

American nights flocked velvet pants

The Adultress dress in black cotton velvet

Little Queen dress in burgundy cotton

Soft and luxurious

When I was designing my FW2010 line I had to stop myself from every piece being made in some kind of velvet. Even the jacquard I used has a chenille thread that makes it soft mixed in with the silk!

But now that NY fashion week is over I'm happy to say that velvet is in! As most of you guys and gals know I'm not one to follow trend, I can't help to do what my gut forces me to do. And even then, it's not my gut it's more like this obsession that comes over me. Sometimes though I'm not following the same obsessions or trends as the rest of the world and then it hurts my business. But I have to say, in this case Velvet was a good idea!!!
