That's all Folks!

Here it is- our last delivery before Christmas and possibly before 2008!! Sweetees just shipped us this adorable group of tops and dresses to start off our spring 2008 season- or technically "resort" wear. From here on out you can expect to see brighter colors, lighter fabrics and bolder prints. We can't believe it either, but Spring will be at JetSet before you know it!
I'm signing off until 2008- unless we get an unexpected surprise next week-but will be back to feed your fashion cravings in the new year!

Just in Time

If you know anyone still shopping for Christmas- or if everyone you know is still shopping for Christmas- send them our way! We just got a beautiful new shipment of jewelry by Ellen Hayes. These gorgeous, delicate pieces in sterling silver and 14k gold fill are the perfect "special" gift if you want to go for something a little more upscale. They are the perfect mix of style and simplicity!
earrings from $50-$80
necklaces from $80-$160

Akiko

Gonna be a little un-creative today, if you don't mind- and just tell you we got a new shipment of Akiko!
Sequin Keyhole dress $168
Leather T-neck top- $152
Gold Tiered Dress- $195
All run XS-L, and all are easy, throw on without much thought type of pieces. Akiko's fabric always looks and fits amazing.

Yoana Baraschi

There's not too much I need to say about these beautiful dresses from Yoana Baraschi- the picture speaks for itself. I will however say that they are even more gorgeous in person than on a computer screen, and even better on a real person than a dress form!!
From Left:
Petal Silk Dress, emerald, sizes XS-L $370 (also available in a gorgeous pink)
Belle Du Jour Dress, ecru, sizes XS-L $305
Venice Lace Cocktail Dress, coral, sizes 2-8 $427

Fancy Schmancy...

Forgive us-we may have neglected those of you who DON'T have any fabulous holiday parties to attend this year! So don't forget- JetSet still has fun separates for those ladies who lunch, mom's that just want to look cute on their next play date, and girls that want to impress coworkers and classmates alike! Check out the latest wave of Beth Bowley for prime examples.

Jenny Han

I hate Tuesdays. I think Tuesdays are worse than Mondays- especially the beautiful Monday we just had! So here's a little treat from Jenny Han that's sure to instantly lift your spirit-it did mine! Come snag something for your weekend festivities.
(ps- the lace sleeve dress is not Jenny Han and not new, but it looked cute with the rest of the collection)

Friday Fix

If this weekend is the starting point of your busy holiday party season, stop by JetSet on your way home from work and check out this new wave of fun dresses from Molly New York. All three are statement dresses and require little effort to accesorize, but we're sorry our skinny little body forms don't do them justice! You'll have to come try them on yourself to see.
Molly New York Raquel Dress-sizes 2,4,6 $239
Molly New York Gabriella dress- sizes 2,4,6 $218
Molly New York Viv dress- sizes 4,6,8 $239

Sorry for the Delay...

Accept our appologies for not sharing with you some of the pretty things that have arrived over the past 10 days for the holidays! We've been busy with "Black Friday" sales, and getting the store ready for the Holiday season. So today here are two compilations out of many deliveries that have been arriving.
Above are new tops from customers' favorite- Sweetees. All are sized XS-L and from left are:
Kamala Top $88, Kappa Top $112 (fun jeweled neckline is hard to see), Jasmine Top $110.
And below is just a sampling of many new dresses in store (I picked these because I don't think they have been photographed yet) They are, from left:

Again- please forgive us for depriving you of our festive fashion these past couple weeks! In the meantime, you must, must, must stop in to see many other pretty things not pictured!

Trend Report: Jewel Tones

We love that color is in for fall! While neutrals like black and gray will never fail you, this seasons jewel toned pieces are so fun and will definitely add a splash of color to your closet. We aren't the only ones obsessing over these bright colored beauties- check out Lucky Magazine's "What I want... NOW" feature on ways to incorporate jewel tones into your fall and holiday wardrobe, then stop by JetSet and find something fabulous to take home!

Wearable Art X

On Saturday night our very own Megan Mueller participated in this year's Wearable Art Fashion show, put on by VCU at La Difference. After months of red-stained hands, and glue gun burns, her masterpiece was created. Below is the award winning "tampon dress", as modeled by her talented roomie, Racine. Yes that's right, her dress is made of tampons- but it sure looks cool! Megan took home 4th place, and the Theo Young Scholarship. Congratulations to our "paper dress princess" who always finds new and uber-creative ways to fashion a dress!

Jenny Han

Seriously, if you haven't been invited to any Holiday parties yet, throw one yourself, because we have so many cute frocks to dress up in you won't be able to resist!
Check out these two from Jenny Han- fresh off the UPS truck, and easy on the wallet!
I am personally obsessed with the Navy silk pleated dress on the left- and at $158 if this dress even makes it through the weekend, it may have to be mine! To the right, the "Solid Gold" Jersey dress is sure to put a little sass into your wardrobe ($185) All sized XS-L.

Isn't She Lovely

There is no better word to describe these two ethereal Lia Kes dresses than- lovely. Ok, technically that was two descriptive words, but they fit these dresses to a tee.
