French Connection as seen on Reese Witherspoon

Posted by Swank Boutique on December 15, 2009

Reese Witherspoon is seen rocking our new French Connection Flash Dress in Sunshine with a blazer and a pair of black pumps!

French Connection Strapless Flash Dress – $168.00
Tube style dress with a sweetheart neckline and oversized bow at the waist and back zip closure.
We’re in love. Period.

Love Reese’s cover look? Pair a blazer with our Cynthia Steffe Gold Strapless “Abra” dress that is nearly identical to the DKNY one she’s pictured in on the cover!

Fun and flirty is the perfect way to describe this adorable ruffle skirt dress by French Connection. Paired with tights and our new Charm zip booties by Seychelles and you’re ready for a night on the town!

Rollin Wool Dress – $228.00
I love grey wool suiting material. It’s one of the most classic fabrics that exists in my book and this dress definitely belongs in the classics!
Soon-to-be our lookbook cover shot, this dress is bound to sell out as soon as it’s on our floor!

Sizes 6, 8 available

Delicious Dan Strapless Dress – $198.00
The beading and embroidery is what makes this dress one of the prettiest things we’ve seen all season! It’s beautiful in person, although running a bit small. Size up when you try it on, it’s worth it!

Dog Days of Summer

Posted by Swank Boutique on July 31, 2009

This dress is quite the show-stopper, at least in the store, and we are loving it! The details are amazing, as YFB’s always are and the buttons down the front are so cute and can be unbuttoned a bit for the perfect amount of “peekage.” We only have a Medium left, but don’t worry! This dress can be special-ordered or can be belted for a boho-chic look.

Young Fabulous & Broke Katie Dress – $200.00

SOLD OUT

Jenny Han Smocked Tie-Front Tube Dress in Prizm Print is gorgeous and flattering! We love Jenny Han around here and her long dresses are the perfect length for us short girls! (Jenny’s short too and she understands!) She has the most amazing construction to make the silk chiffon move perfectly as you walk, shop or dance your feet off! We have all sizes available in this beauty.

Jenny Han Prizm Tube Dress – $200.00 now $100.00

IMG_9195

We are absolutely obsessed with this color this season, and apparently you are too! This entire ensemble is from Aryn K and we love the possibilities of each piece, as well as the price! The whole outfit is under $120 together! This top features tonal pearlized buttons up the entire back and has a thin chiffon belt that can be removed. It looks great tucked in, belted, tied, or left alone and is a great compliment to dark denim. (I’m thinking the new dark Gwenevere’s by 7 for All Mankind -their really skinny ankle-hitting skinny jean.)

The skirt is great with it’s exposed elastic band, a trend we’re seeing a lot of for Fall skirts, and knit material which makes it super comfortable! It’s got a peplum wrap front but an invisible zipper in the back for easy wearability. The color is a great charcoal-almost black and skirts are the must-have item on our minds for Fall!

Aryn K Button Back Chiffon Top – $60.00

SOLD OUT

Aryn K Faux Wrap Knit Skirt – $55.00

Size Large available

IMG_9163

This is one of those dresses that makes us remember why French Connection is so wonderful. This is the perfect Fall wedding dress (if you’re attending, obviously) and would look great with heels or with our favorite Zigi boots in Cognac. We just got an amazing, long cabled cardigan in from Tulle that we have hanging with it in the store that was made for this dress and Mizzou football games!

French Connection Keeper’s Dress – $188.00

Sizes 2, 4, 8 available

Tulle Cabled Cardigan in Sunflower not shown, but talked about and absolutely necessary – $45.00 (I know, right?)

IMG_9033

You absolutely HAVE to try this dress on. Yumi Kim is a brand new addition to our collection and the proof is in the fit. Seriously, it’s that good. I don’t think I have to mention the color…

We have sizes Extra Small & Medium still available, but probably not for much longer!

Yumi Kim Devon Dress – $200.00

IMG_8998 IMG_9000

We have become quite the fans of Aryn K’s two-tone dress styles lately! I think it plays on the high-waisted skirt look that so many of you are adopting as of late, but has the comfort and ease of a dress. This is perfect for you ladies who dress up for Mizzou games around here and just plain beautiful for the rest of you!

Aryn K Lace & Bronze Dress – $75.00

SOLD OUT

IMG_9213

Cobalt blue, white and black are trending really well around here! Has anyone passed our window lately? We have tons of styles rolling in with this beautiful combination, but few as simple and comfortable as this tank and ponte skirt combo. We just got these JJ Winters Envelope Clutches in 5 colors and we can’t decide which is our favorite! It’s available in Black (shown), Navy Croc, Orange Croc, Cobalt Croc, or Cork with Gold Flecks. <-amazing!! These are the perfect size for going out becuase they're not too large but will still fit everything a lady would need for a night out and features a magnetic snap closure. Good for you girls who get a little tipsy on those patio stairs!

Aryn K Skirt High Waisted Bandage Skirt – $66.00

Size Large available

C&C California Bold Tank – $48.00 SOLD OUT

JJ Winters Cross Body Envelope Clutch – $89.00

(available in Cobalt Blue & Orange Croc)

Jessica Szohr in French Connection Ric-Rac Dress

Posted by Swank Boutique on April 2, 2009

gossip girl

How cute does Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr look in French Connection’s Ric-Rac Wizard Cotton Dress? We’re loving it even more in the spring Navy with Orchid ric-rac we have in stock right now. We are more than happy to order the one Jessica is wearing if you prefer it!

French Connection Ric-Rac Wizard Cotton Dress – $168.00

IMG_7034

Haha! Apparently we misspelled Jessica Szohr’s last name and someone was kind enough to correct us with an email. Thanks for caring so much! Even Google can be wrong!

Miss Me Ruffle Flower Blouse – $87.00

One of our favorites, Kim H., wore this top to the Eagles concert last week with her 7 For All Mankind Heather Ibiza Jeans and got TONS of compliments!

Medium & Large available

IMG_6949

Nobody does navy blue like Jenny Han. It’s obviously one of her favorite colors, because it is present in her collection regardless of the season. We’re all coveting this dress and cursing our 2-week rule! I love how cute it looks with the silk braided Sogoli wrap bracelet around the waist! Other than as a bracelet or belt, this versatile Sogoli piece can be worn as a necklace or a headband as well and is available in Black/White/Yellow as well. Kait is also wearing the Dogeared Wrapped Pearl Lariat in gold that I forgot to mention in the Dogeared Pearls of… post!

Jenny Han Silk Pleated Top Dress – $213.00 – SOLD OUT OF SMALL

Jenny Han Crystal Button Ruffle Front Dress – $192.00

SOLD OUT OF EXTRA SMALL, LARGE

This is going to be my go-to wedding dress this summer! It’s amazing, as all Jenny Han dresses are, but the crystal buttons really set this one off. It adds just a bit of sparkle to an otherwise demure dress. It has adjustable straps, too.IMG_7018

IMG_7026IMG_7024

This makes me wish that I still had the energy to go out every night. This is such a sexy little number and I love its bright teal and ivory chiffon combination—it just POPS against your skin. I can’t not draw attention to the exposed zipper up the back. You know me, I love the juxtaposition of sweet little ruffles and edgy zippers!

Miss Me Chiffon Ruffle Dress with exposed zipper – $109.00

Rachel Leigh Millie’s Everyday Pearl Necklace – $87.00 $65.25

IMG_7046 IMG_7041

One of the best fitting dresses French Connection has ever made—the Wizard dress! It’s been so crazy popular in every single fabric/color we’ve had it in and we’re so excited to announce that they’re obsessed with it too! Watch for this dress to come in in numerous colors and patterns through next Fall. Yeah, it’s that good.

Ric Rac Wizard Cotton Dress – $168.00

IMG_7002

This baby’s coming home with me tonight. I’m absolutely in love. Obsessed. It’s ridiculous how much I want this dress. The fact that I already have the cardigan (one of my favorite things next to my leather jacket) only reinforces this in my mind. Love, love, love. And with my Dolce Vita braided Irus sandals…

Juicy Couture Tiered Ruffle Slip Dress – $278.00 – SOLD OUT of SMALL

Umm…can you say obsessed? Everyone has been flying to our Tricky Threads dresses as soon as they hit the floor and now I’m personally clambering for one! I’m unequivocally in love with this dress. The color is absolutely smashing and the style is so body-hugging, but in all the right places! Have I mentioned the zipper or the pockets, yet? L-O-V-E!

Tricky Threads June Silk Pocket Dress – $194.00 – SOLD OUT OF MEDIUM & LARGE

IMG_7138 IMG_7143

What a perfect Easter dress. I must say that I love it when French Connection does their signature pointelle knits. They’re always so intricate and ever so affordable for such detail! I never feel like they’re about to unravel if I move the wrong way either like some really detailed knits.

French Connection Lovers Ling Dress – $148.00
