Meet the Hemline Raffle Winner!


We were so excited to announce that Tami won the Hemline Earth Day Raffle a few days ago and now we're way pumped for you to meet her!

In celebration of Earth Day, Hemline raffled off the winner's choice of either a Mat and Nat bag or a brand new pair of TOMS. When Tami came in, she immediately knew what she wanted- a Mat and Nat bag! After much deliberation, comparing and contrasting of colors, shapes, and sizes (OH MY!), Tami picked this delightful little coral number! Perfect for both a day on the Plaza shopping or night out with the gals, this bag is just big enough for some monies, the I.D. and a camera to capture all the journeys Tami and her bag are about to embark on!

Want one of your own? Stop by Hemline soon to pick up your own eco-friendly Mat and Nat bag!

Earth Day Hemline Raffle Winner!

Congratulations Tami Daniel! Lucky Tami receives a Matt & Nat purse or a pair of TOMS on Hemline!

Up Close and Personal!

As promised, here are a few more pics from the lovely evening that was La Femme! Unlike our last post, we wanted to introduce  you to some of the people who really helped to make the show a success... both those who strutted down the runway and those made sure everyone made it down the runway! Enjoy!


Above we have some of the lovely Hemline ladies who made sure everything went smoothly during the evening. Be sure to notice the Yoana Baraschi sequin dress in the middle and the Karlie turquoise little number on the right!
We hate to tell you this, but sometimes backstage is just as fun as what occurs onstage! Some of the loveliest models in town pre-show, laughing, snacking, and having a great time!
To the left, perhaps the man of the evening, Dr. Gary Morsch- the founder of Heart to Heart International, was so excited about La Femme, he made a special appearance!

On our right, we have the lovely Julia Doughty who designed the beautiful black-and-white costumes of the sweet girls as seen at La Femme! Love those ruffly shorts and cropped lace tops!


And lastly, we bring you the men who made sure everyone was pumped up and rarin' to go as the models strutted down the runway. On top, we have our host for the evening, Eric Cubeechee and on the bottom, we have the threesome in charge of making sure you were groovin' the night away: DJ White Shadow (center) and the boys from Chester French!

Who Says Glamour Can't Be Green???

(Mat and Nat white bag, TOMS Seaport Vegan Classics, Hippie Ink t-shirt)
Certainly not us here at Hemline!


Hemline has long been committed to reducing our carbon footprint; we recycle, we encourage our customers to purchase green bags (more on that tomorrow), and we even sell sustainable clothing and accessories! In celebration of Earth Week, we are bringing you some of our favorite eco-friendly pieces from our store!


MATT & NAT’s 21 water bottle initiative has further stepped up their commitment to social responsibility and to the environment; all linings are made from recycled plastic water bottles. A message inside of each bag will let you know exactly how many bottles were recycled to produce your accessory.


TOMS The livity texture twill upper material is made of hemp and recycled plastic bottles. This pair of shoes is vegan friendly and uses no animal products, but instead is made with recycled and sustainable materials.


HIPPIE INK
Made from 100% organic cotton, this combed, ring-spun cotton produces a softer and higher quality garment. Made in the U.S.A.


STACIA The Stacia Eco Knits Collection uses yarns made from bamboo, soybean,and seaweed-- sustainable fibers that are friendly to the earth and feel good against your skin.

You see, maybe it is easy being green.  It wouldn't be the first time Kermit had it wrong. So stop by Hemline before Earth Week is over and doing something good for the environment... and yourself!

We'll Always Have La Femme....


Well, the big night has come and gone and all that is left are the memories... marvelous, magnificent memories that is!

Last Thursday at the Madrid was one of the most high-fashion, high-entertainment, high-fun evenings this city's ever seen! Fashion, food, and music were all enjoyed by the most fabulous and fancy of the town! So, while hopefully you were able to come over and enjoy the evening's fantastic festivities, just in case you weren't (or just in case you were -ahem- incapable of remembering), we're bringing you all of the moments you missed! We'll bring you runway shots, behind-the-scenes images, and maybe even a few of us getting up-close and personal with the girls of Hemline!

So here's your Tuesday pick-me-up! Peruse the images and either reminisce about how much fun you had or kick yourself a bit for not attending. Just kidding, don't do that...

La Femme is Tonight!

The big day has finally arrived! We've been wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' each night... NO, NO, NO! Not that day!

We're talking about La Femme! It's finally here and it's all come together splendidly! We have the most amazing hosts, hottest models, so-cool sponsors, and let's not forget... the most fabulous fashion! So, you're going to be there, riiiiiiight?

Well, just in case you haven't managed to pick up your ticket yet, never fear! You can still get them here or you can just purchase them at the door on the night of the event! Remember, for $35 you can be an ultra-exclusive VIP, probably sit to watch the show, sip on free drinks from 8-9 PM all the while perusing your shwag bag. Or, for only $25 you can join in all the festivities and have a great time! We don't care! We just want to see your beautiful face!

Romp Around!


It's getting so hot out there! And as the temperature goes up, so do hemlines (no pun intended)! AND sometimes wearing an ultra-girly dress or mini skirt can feel like too much in these hot temperatures- like your trying too hard, like it's 100 degrees and the thought of putting on an up-to-there dress is unbearable. 


Enter the romper! You may remember these little dandies from the days of your youth. You slipped one on and you were instantly chic, instantly cool, instantly the envy of all the other girls on the playground. Okay, so maybe not all that, but remember how easy it was? Just slip it on and BOOM- you're done for the day. You can shop, you can be sophisticated, you can romp around!


So cheers to these classy rompers brought to you by Kitty, Karlie, and Trina Turk (from left to right)! Thanks to these updated versions of a rather juvenile look, you can easily transition from the office to the (ahem) playground.

Gettin' the Word Out!


We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a message from our sponsor...

Just kidding, kind of. We wanted to take a second to thank the more behind-the-scenes sponsors who have helped to spread the word about La Femme! While these media outlets aren't edible or wearable (like some of our other sponsors), they are the ones responsible for bringing everyone together and letting KC know where the party is at next Thursday night!

Big time thanks and shout outs to hercityguide.com, The Pitch, and 95.7 The Vibe for helping to make this event possible!

In Our Hearts...


As much as we've talked about all of the glitzy glamour going down on April 15 as part of our event, La Femme, there's something much more special going down that night: helping Heart to Heart International with their relief efforts in Haiti. As much fun as we're going to be having that night, it's important to remember what the event is really all about- assisting those who have been struck by a catastrophic event.


With the death toll now above 200,000, homes in disrepair, and sanitation floundering, Haiti needs your help to put lives back together. And lucky for you, helping Haiti is as easy as going to a fashion show. All you have to do is pick out a lovely dress, put on your dancing shoes, purchase a ticket here, and dance the night away! Proceeds from the event's ticket sales are going straight to Heart to Heart International, which is helping individuals and families back onto their feet.

Get Your Shoulder On!

(Temperly, Marc Jacobs, Carmen Marc Valvo)

The one-shoulder dress is one of those looks that works for any situation you may find yourself in this summer. Baby Shower? Check with that cute coral Yahada number. Black tie wedding? Check with this fun, but sophisticated Leona dress. Shopping on the Plaza (ahem... at Hemline)? Done and done thanks to this colorful Karlie number!

The one-shoulder is a great way to stand out from the crowed: it's not a simple strapless dress or the traditional two-shoulder cocktail dress. It's a playful way to turn what could otherwise be just another dress in the crowd into an elegant knockout!

So stop by Hemline today to pick up your own go-to one shoulder number!

(Yahada, Leona, Karlie)
