Royal Poinciana Plaza aka "The Royal"!
|
Spring is traditionally a time of renewal, growth and hope. It is a time "when the hounds of spring are on winter's traces" (Algernon Swinburne) and we can go forward with a spring (no pun intended) in our step!

Worth Avenue Clock Tower
| |
This prime time of the year brings stunning weather as 'blossom by blossom the spring begins" (Swinburne, again) and we are reminded anew how lovely Palm Beach can be. Strolling down Worth Avenue, poking into the little bougainvillea-laced Vias, exploring the newly renovated and restyled Royal Poinciana Plaza ("The Royal") with its elegant new luxury shops, wandering into the wonderful variety of shops and eateries along County Way and Royal Poinciana , sitting in the quiet serenity of the parks and gardens that are in full bloom, watching the ocean's twinkling waves...Palm Beach surely is paradise!

We have not yet seen the latest issue, but will be pouncing on it as soon as it is published!

Early word is it's fabulous!

Have you been reading the fashion press lately? Almost every page is chock full of the most wonderful variety of trending spring dresses. Of course, half of the trends come from different eras, so while the styles look vaguely familiar, in an "everything old is new again" mode, you will see rich patterns, polka dots, tailored shirt dresses and lavishly draped silks and jerseys.
Plethora of Pucci Prints!
Channeling your inner style, you can renew your look with a an always perfect Pucci spring frock and dress it up with a bright, colorful handbag and shoe ensemble. Why not put on those big, round sunglasses and tie an Hermes scarf around your head a la Grace Kelly?
Looking for something comfortable yet sexy and packable? We have an assortment of dresses from the collections of Roberto Cavalli, Jean Paul Gaultier, Escada and others who know the value of a light, stretchy material that can be hand washed if necessary. Known for their fine fabrics, interesting, form fitting styles and whimsical and jaunty prints, these designers have cornered the market for fashions that can be dressed up, travel well (think in a tiny, little carryon) and are flattering to almost all figures!
Jersey Dress Dreams!
Always glamorous, we can't forget the delightful and timeless styles of Valentino, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen and others. While perhaps out of normal bounds budget-wise, these traditional and classic dresses are affordable and a treasure to find at consignment boutiques. Right now, Classic Collections has an assortment of these designers for your shopping pleasure...but hurry in...they go fast!

Just as President Regan once said with conviction, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!", we also want to say loudly and with certainty, "Consignors, come and reclaim your furs!"
Yes, ladies, it's that time of year to reclaim your furs or let them go. Furs that are not picked up by May 1, 2019 will be forfeited. We simply do not have the room to "store" furs and respectfully request that if you wish to re-consign a fur, you bring it to us again in November. We love having these beautiful, warm and wonderful coats, jackets and unique pieces, but they really must go home with you over the summer!

OMG, the selection of jackets that are available right now is amazing. From staid Valentino to quirky and trending Alexander McQueen or Roberto Cavalli, we have something for everyone! Like the soft and knitted feel of St. John?
Prefer the hip and on-trend fashionable leather and exotic skins by McQueen, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana? Feeling frisky for a sparkling evening jacket full of sequins or bugle beads? Hoping to find a casual, but tailored navy or white jacket that will go with everything? Well, ladies, we have them here. Racks and racks of the top designers jackets for the upcoming spring season.
