A Season of Prints

Thursday, April 4th, 2013 by Roz Pactor

I love print. I love it more than most. Roz is not the biggest fan of prints as many of you know, so she felt it was the perfect story for me to write for The Chic Sheet.  I, Julie Bortnick of from prosecco to plaid, am a huge cheerleader for printed clothing.  I love solids, as well, but I get extremely excited about incredible prints.

Easter’s Soft Pales Are a Major Color Trend for Spring 2013…..Will Houston Women Wear It?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013 by Roz Pactor

It is not unusual to see soft pale colorations in fashion as we enter the Pre-Easter time. However, in seasons past that has been for a short window of time as Texas women have proven over the years that they love color and they love it the bolder the better.  So, as I watched the runways unfold for Spring 2013, I watched as many of the biggest designers showed pales……from the softest nudes, blushes and soft pinks to icy blues, mint green, lilac, butter yellow and more, and sat thinking, how would Houston women react to these colors???

It’s Julie Bortnick, of the fashion and lifestyle blog from prosecco to plaid, here to talk to you all about something Roz and I have both, personally, loved for a while now. We are so excited that others love it too.

For everyday wear, so long to small handbags and hello oversized. What you’ll be seeing everywhere these days is the extra large handbag, in every silhouette. From clutches to hobos, shoulder bags and totes, they are huge and extremely fabulous. Read the rest of this entry »

Big Apple Buzz…

Thursday, January 12th, 2012 by Roz Pactor

As you may remember, I mentioned that I was making  my annual visit to NYC in December and I never make this trip without doing my due diligence before hand on what the Must-See in the Stores are for the season.  I did my research and saw it  all….Barney’s for Gaga’s Workshop, which was creatively splendid to the eye, but to purchase the logoed merchandise at prices that were so over-the-top for what it was, toys, I had to pass.  Swatch looks like it’s making a comeback with a big Fifth Avenue spot; American Girl store was the busiest store I went into (didn’t make it to the Apple Store, which usually holds that title!).  Pure purchaseable fashion and excitement for me was a-plenty at the Three B’s…Bloomie’s, Barney’s and Bergdorf’s, did some buying there and would have done more.  Meat Packing had many new shops that I had not seen like All Saints and Aurhaus for the home and many old favorites, such as Vince, Tory Burch, Catherine Malandrino, Marni and many others….not enough time!  Met my friend Paige Cunningham at Mario Batali’s Eataly (an Italian food-eaters dream!) and then progressed down to SoHo where I hit spots that I had not seen in awhile…..Bloomie’s, Top Shop, H & M, again not enough time but just enough to get my Big Apple Shopping-in-December buzz on.
