Introducing the new: www.AlejandraKearl.com!

I'm so exited to re-launch my website www.AlejandraKearl.com!
I use to have 2 sites; www.thebabychicboutique.com and www.alejandrakearl.com.
I use to retail on one site and wholesale on the other, I combined them both and now have one great new site.
From now on I will only be selling my products, it was too hard to sell other brands, keep stock and compete with big sites. I can now focus much better on my designs and website. I created a site that is easy to use,  has better images, it will be regularly updated and will always have lots of great deals available to my loyal customers.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can improve the site, I can always use your help :)!
I'm offering a 20% discount coupon, it's good until June 17th. Simply type 20%off upon checkout and you will get the discount even on Sale items!

Shipping is a flat $6 on all orders under $100 and it goes up just a few dollars on bigger purchases.

Thanks!

I wish I had ordered more!

I'm packing Spring orders at the same time I'm finalizing my Fall 2011 collection and my sewing room looks like a complete mess. I'm having a hard time finding my tape measure and scissors! Oh well, just a few more days and then I'll organize it... maybe.
I'm always conservative when placing orders to my manufacturer, I always worry about how each collection will do. Last year when I placed my Spring 2011 orders, I was very conservative. With the way the economy is going and so many little boutiques closing shop I ordered just a little extra inventory in each style.
I should have ordered more! I'm very happy to tell you I picked up 2 new boutiques, one in Saudi Arabia and one in Alabama :), they will be carrying my line in a matter of weeks, now the little extra inventory I had ordered is going to them.
So this little number below is already sold out in most sizes, if you want this dress I have in sizes 18/24 months and 8/9 years only. Let me know quick, they are going fast!!

The dress is 100% silk, the print has little birds and flowers. $48.

How to tie a Scarf

Scarves are such fun accessory, they are an inexpensive and quick way to update any look.
Tying them right is the tricky part. I saw these video tutorials a few days ago and I loved all the different ways I learned to tie a scarf, that I thought I should share with you. I don't think a scarf has to be expensive to look beautiful and chic. I found these great ones at Nordstrom, they start at only $10, the ones shown below are about $35.

If you watch these 3 short videos you'll be a pro at tying scarves.

 

 

P.S I think I want her glasses :)

Litlle Silk Dress Giveaway

I really love how this little dress turned out.

Thanks to my wonderful customers the Courtyard Collection 2010 has been one of my most successful lines so far. I only created a few pieces for this transitional line (between Summer and Fall).

I was a little nervous when I decided to design this line, most stores just stick to Spring/Summer and Fall orders, but I was out of Spring items and stores wanted more inventory. I tried many different colors before I settled on navy, steel blue, green and white, I added some ruffles for fun and gave it a bit of a bohemian vibe.
I only have a handful of dresses left, I didn't even get to sell them on my site :). If you are interested, you can play and win one of them. I have sizes 2/3 and 8/10 left (retail value is $50++)
