YeeHaw: Halter Hotties at Mary Jane's


Our little Hotties are hot in Park City and we're so thrilled that they're sharing space with designers like Jeffrey Campbell, Corry Lynn Calter and Michael Stars. Some mighty fine company to be in at Mary Jane's hip boutique which caters to celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Jessical Biel, and Kyra Sedgewick. Here's hoping that one of them takes a liking to one of our tops! And dare we say that boots and a halter are a great fashion statement?

Halter Hotties Presents… A Lover's Fall Get-a-Way

Fall is my favorite time of the year. It was the way Mother Earth first presented herself to me, for I was September born. Sometimes I wonder if we all naturally enjoy the season in which we came into the world. The colors, the clothes, the food, the crisp air and… the cuddling! Isn't it just the perfect time for an impromptu romantic "get-a-way"?

If anyone takes part in this little escape, we all want to hear about it... so Darling, Do tell!!

Here's what I'm thinking...

Grab your sweetie, take advantage of this deal I found and head for Bennington, Vermont. Where you've booked yourselves a weekend stay at Daniel Tarquino & Melissa Martin's "Alexandra B&B Inn". A 1859 renovated Vermont Farm House & Barn with Panoramic Views overlooking the Bennington Monument and the Green Mountains.

During the day, with in Painted Pewter and snug in your washed leather racer jacket, available from Anthropologie.com, the two of you stroll though the Art Galleries, find the perfect cocktail glasses for your next soiree in a charming little antique shop, and later sitting fireside, sipping a glass of wine, nibbling at a cheese platter you'll be snickering as you whoop his pants in a winner-take-all game of checkers.



Noticing he couldn't take his eyes off of you, you knew you had it in the bag! (Don't you feel, even just a little bit, naughty for taking advantage of how incredibly long your legs look in your new color; Moss, available at Shopbop.com and color; Brown, available at CoutureCandy.com)?



It certainly didn't help him that you decided to wear your "English Rose" halter Top by www.halterhotties.com with

the pretty you purchased from Shopbop.com reflecting sparkles across your bared shoulders, radiant in the glow of the fire.









Later that night in your jetted whirlpool tub a new game is about to begin, Lovin' Tub available from RomanticGifts.com!
Of couse, you came prepared… You have Etsy shop, "Orchard Farm Soap's" traveling candles lit


and Lush's weaving a fizzing bath time love spell. The perfume is Turkish rose absolute, one of the most precious substances in the world, plus fragrant powdered orris root made from the Florentine iris. Seven rosebuds release the spell. Bathe and fall in love.



Oh, no no no… It's not over, you've still got one more night!! I recommend skipping dessert in the dining room and instead enjoy the Lush . They sinfully blended sweet white chocolate and minty dark chocolate with moisturizing cocoa butter making a seductively stimulating massage bar. Not to be mistaken for an after dinner mint! A treat for both your sense of touch and your sense of smell, take turns letting it melt in your hands and massaging your cares away.

Halter Hotties Fall Camisole ~ Halter Top Collection 1

Wondering how to work those gorgeous Halter Hotties halter tops you purchased this summer into your Fall wardrobe? Think Camisole, in place of Haltertop, and start layering! I thought it'd be fun to pull together some fall inspired outfits over the next few weeks.

A beautiful, bright floral peeking through a Boyfriend Blazer or a rich Paisley silk layered under a soft cardigan sounds just as scrumptious as my grandma's warm cinnamon sauce drizzled over a slice of her Apple Pie on a early fall afternoon!!
No Worries, if the apple-pie-gene doesn't run through your family… Magic Kitchen.com is running a special offer until the end of the month. Their pastry chef put his all into this apple pie ~ a flaky crust piled high with tart apples, layered with sugar and spices, then baked to bubbly perfection. My Magic Kitchen,  Inc.
1. Let's start with a "Boyfriend" Woolie Blazer in a plaid wool with fold over collar and faux flap pockets. It has a rouched band across the back with button tabs and slit on the bottom hem. Has a Button front closure and is fully lined with flannel. It's available at www.Free People.com for $168.

2. And, peeking from beneath the Blazer is Halter Hotties' Silk "Baroque Tunic" halter top in a Deep Mahogany Floral. It's made from a 1980's silk floral "Echo" scarf, is fully lined in Deep Mahogany silk charmeuse with a matching wrap-around sash. This halter top/camisole fits all sizes, XS, S, M, and L and is available at www.HalterHotties.com for $229.00.

3. On the bottom I've gone with . On the days you can't decide between jeans or leggings, reach for this Juicy hybrid. Denim leggings with 2" banding at waist and 6" zipper at bottom hem. Available at www.Shopbop.com for $98.00.

4. Tiny metallic studs glint from cranberry leather like beacons in the night sky on these Distant Constellation Boots by Frye. They are available at www.Anthropologie.com for $428.00.

5. Love this classic fall Bombay Mevie, Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag.
This pebbled leather handbag features a logo-embossed padlock detail at the magnetic-flap front pocket, tubing and topstitching at edges with gold hardware. Buckle details at shoulder strap. Zip main compartment closure. Lined interior features zip pocket and 2 patch pockets. It is available with   $458.00
