Annette Gortz Collection Trickles In

Hi there!


Part of the first shipment of the spring 2011 Annette Gortz collection arrived at Renee's yesterday. It is beautiful. I can hardly wait for you to see it!!!




German designer Annette Gortz features understated non-colors, classic styles, and an avant garde edge.









Her experimentation with materials, ingenious and handcrafted details, and adaptable and versatile styles leave nothing to chance. She thinks of everything!

High quality and natural fabrics are the norm for Gortz. Anyone who examines this clothing line will appreciate the thought and creativity that goes into her timeless designs.


Among some of the new arrivals at Renee's are the charcoal gray sweater on page 12, and the sweater on page 39. There is much more still to come!


Take a closer look at the online catalog here.


With its perfect blend of comfortable casualness, sensual elegance and ingenious fit, Annette Gortz is my favorite line.

We look forward to seeing you soon, and showing you all the beauty a fine, designer line like Annette Gortz offers.

Sending you warm regards,
renee

p.s. We love to work by appointment. Call us! 425-252-2230

"We Aren't Going Out of Business" Sale on Now!

Diane Mills and Carla Wallat attend the Academy Awards in Los Angeles.







Hi there! I trust you had a good weekend, and got excited by the sunshine and fresh outdoors like I did on Saturday and Sunday. Spring is in the air!

To celebrate I have reduced all remaining sale merchandise to 50% off the original price. Don't worry, we aren't going out of business. I just need to make room for all the new arrivals!

Remember the previous blog post when Diane Mills wrote about shopping at Renee's for a dress to wear to the Academy Awards show? Since then she sent more and better photos of her and Carla Wallat's trip to Hollywood and the event, which I posted both on the previous post, and more above and below.

Stop in soon for your opportunity to take 50% off all remaining fall and winter clothing, scarves, jewelry and shoes. We look forward to seeing you!

Fondly,
Renee

"Renee Rolled Out the Red Carpet" by Diane Mills

"I just moved to the Everett area recently and am so thrilled to have found Renee and her lovely store."

"I work behind the scenes at the Oscars (lucked into it), and was looking for a little black dress."






"Renee kept the store open for an hour later one evening and helped my friend Carla and I find a dress and ...have our way with her store. She even opened a bottle of wine."



"Here is my "lbd" and the beautiful accessories I came away with. Thanks so much for rolling out the red carpet for us, Renee! You ROCK!"

--Diane Mills

I had so much fun helping Diane and Carla Wallat when they came in. I couldn't believe it when Diane told me she and Carla were going to the Academy Awards show and would be meeting the winners.

They report what the winners say in the interview room after they receive their award for the print media.



I was so excited that I was going to dress ladies who were going to the Oscars that I forgot to take photos while they were in the store. Diane assured me she would post photos when she returned.

Diane is an official court reporter for the Snohomish County Superior Court and she lives in Snohomish. She is originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Carla lives and works in Federal Way.

I invite you to make your own personal appointment with me. Email me with a date and time, and we will get you set up!! You can read more details about making your own appointment here.

Thanks for all of the fun, Diane! The evening I spent with you and Carla was a highlight at Renee's for me!
