Hello.
It's been a while since my last blog post.
I hope you're doing well.
September has been a whirlwind of new arrivals!
I've been battling with the daily deliveries, but I finally have a little breathing room, so I'd like to try and summarize the new arrivals, which are rumored to be beyond the staff's grasp (lol).
For my own sake!
Where should we start?
Let's start with Veritecoeur, which had new arrivals today (9/19).
Cotton Mercerized Vest [VCK-280]
A cotton vest with a lovely drape.
It's still hot outside, so wool might not be practical yet. So I want to make it feel like autumn with a vest like this.
It's loosely fitting, has two front pockets, and cute deep side slits, so I think it would look great layered over a long shirt or a dress.
(Since it's cotton, you can wear it in spring too!)
It comes in a warm ivory and a dark navy that's almost black.
Please also check out the cute pullover type with sleeves, which offers more warmth.
Standard Jacket [VC-2631B]
Straight Tuck Pants [VC-2632B]
A relaxed, oversized jacket.
This single piece can give you a trendy look this year.
The fabric is tropical wool, reportedly used by a certain high-end brand.
Whether worn as a jacket or pants, it's a high-quality, elegant fabric that looks great.
Veritecoeur has new arrivals little by little each month, so please check back regularly.
Next up is the new color Cornflower for Sciuscia's Mary Janes.
I foolishly thought, "Is this the color of corn flowers?", but it was actually the English translation for cornflower, which has nothing to do with corn!
Now that I know, I can only see cornflower.
The reason Sciuscia's Mary Janes are popular is that they're not too sweet, not too formal, and simply easy to match with a variety of outfits.
And they're comfortable because the back is elastic. In other words, they're the best.
The cornflower color, which is surprisingly hard to find, is perfect as an accent color.
It has a surprising versatility that can embrace unexpected combinations.
It's a color only available this year, and it's also a great choice for your first pair!
Next up, another shoe introduction.
CREER is hot in the summer, but unbelievably cold in the winter with concrete floors and aluminum sashes.
If only I had these shoes...!!
I really want the Thermo Mule from OOFOS for work.
They're lightweight and incredibly comfortable. I change clothes often for photo shoots, so shoes that are easy to slip on and off are great.
A customer who is a swimming instructor also told me that thanks to OOFOS sandals this year, her back wasn't affected by the hard floor around the pool!
Hmm, I want them...
The exciting days of ALWEL's first spring/summer exhibition at CREER are over.
What I realize again is that they look even better when you actually wear them.
ALWEL is very popular with customers who visit the store, but it's hard to convey that online.
These new jogger pants also sold out to customers who tried them on in-store, but we asked the manufacturer to bring them back.
They are made of cotton with 20% yak wool, and they don't cling to your figure when worn alone, making you look sleek and neat.
The photo shows me at 156cm, but it's a mysterious item that looks great even on people over 160cm.
The waist has a relaxed elastic band, so you can layer them under dresses or other items as an inner layer in winter.
I wrote too much about the jogger pants, but the fleece is still good.
Olive is a new color.
Fleece Cropped Jacket [FLEECE-9]
Peg Pants [FLEECE-6]
The popular mocha and black from last year are still available, and as for pants, these peg pants were very popular with our in-store customers.
I own a pair myself and wore them about three times a week in winter.
They're perfect for long bus commutes.
Comfortable, warm, light, and washable at home. They're the best.
The silhouette when worn is cute, so even after they sold out, I had the frustrating experience of being asked "Where did you get those?" and not being able to recommend them.
One thing to note is that the elastic waistband is quite firm, so there isn't much give.
Please check the waist size when purchasing.
And! The new jacket I'm wearing on top is also great!
Isn't the large collar cute?
Especially the back.
The peg pants were warm, but the jacket is also quite warm.
I feel like this could work pretty well in a mild winter.
It also looks cute layered like this over a light coat.
It protects your shoulders.
Anyway, ALWEL is great.
All of ALWEL's autumn/winter arrivals for this season have arrived.
Look forward to spring...!
At this pace, I can't possibly write everything, so I'll stop here for today.
Excluding shoes, I only managed to introduce two brands....
