Crashing Fashion Week (NCSU)


 In Court's Closet and Juvenescence crashed NCSU's Fashion week. We happened to catch Threads which is the graduating Seniors last showcase before they leave NC State. There was soooo much talent in one room. These designers truly have something to offer. 
We also took notice of the up and coming classes that will rule the Senior runway soon enough.

We also had an opportunity to run into the fashion students from NC A&T (We secretly fell in love with them ... but shhhh...don't tell State that).
All in all we had a great time and we look forward to meeting and working with a few of the students we've met (Can you say feature spot in the store? I know I can.)



NC A&T Fashion Majors (stole our hearts)


Videos will be up and available momentarily. Thanks ;)

WELCOME: 2 New Arrivals!


Hello all,

First I'd like to welcome Spring 2013! 

After all, it was the first day of spring today. And guess what? It was absolutely gorgeous outside today. While I was running a few errands I was inhaling the fresh air, like a goldfish gasping for air. (If you haven't seen it, it's a hilarious sight). The beautiful sunshine, the warm weather. *sigh* I love North Carolina and its seasons, it's warm most of the year. 

Next, I would like to welcome Savannah a la Mode, the newest member and fixture I mean character that permanently resides within In Court's Closet. 
Savannah hails from Louisiana.
Her spunky and spicy attitude, I mean personality will make appearances on the blog frequently . . . "so get used to it". That was her, not me. 


Say "hello" Savannah. 


Until we meet again, au revoir.

Bag-tastic: It's in the Bag



When it comes to Court's preferences as to the ideal bag, there's only one rule: 


BIGGER = better!!


Now we don't discriminate  We love a nice clutch, and envelope bags are exquisite, but a huge monster that can conceal a pair of jeans is completely, utterly, absolutely, magnificently, and Tote-ally Bag-tastic! Yeah, we know that these behemoths of the bag world have no place on a date because they can send out the wrong message: I have baggage, I'm high maintenance therefore I need to take my things with me, this is an overnight bag, etc. And yeah, we know doctors and experts  tell us not to carry big bags because they tend to get heavy and hurt our backs, but I like to think of it as a personal challenge. Like an all day weight training extravaganza.  My biceps and triceps will thank me during bathing suit season.  (I like to keep a brick and phone-book in mine . . . you never know when you may need them.) Who cares what others may think of a big bag. It's fabulous and it carries almost anything. I need a bag so big that I can fit my kitchen sink in it. So big, that if there were a flood, all I'd need to do is pull out an oar from one of its many pockets, hop in its comfy silk lining, and paddle my way to safety.




This is a bag that I had the good sense to yank out of Court's closet before anyone else got there mitts on it . . . and I love it!!! (I bet my 3 month old can fit inside of it). 

So here's an ode to big bags (and there lovers) every where: "Throw it in the Bag"

TEXASTIME!!

Yesterday, I took a flight to Texas for a two week stay.  So far, I have to say, it's a nice climate change...consistent sunshine and warm weather!!


No sooner than my feet hit the ground, it was off to the races!  Pick up my rental car...check in my hotel room...meet with my team...then most important, scour the city for fashion deals!!


I absolutely LOVE!! my hotel room, it's like a efficiency apartment!!  The colors combined with the mix of mod and classic decor works, it's very fashion forward!! If you have to be away from home, this is where you want to stay... And to top it off, the hotel offers free breakfast & free dinner, including wine and beer...if you like that kind of thing, lol!
 
,

...And if you don't like what they have to offer in the way of nourishment, there are countless restaurants within walking distance. AND A MALL!!

Ok so, the last few days and the time change finally caught up with me.  This is me laying in bed, fully dressed UNDER the covers, too tired to even close my eyes!! 


So it's off to bed I go.  But stay tuned for updates on all the fabulous things Texas has to offer, 'cause you know I'm gonna find out and report it back to ya'll...  


Yeeehaw!!
