new peeks: roberta oaks holiday 2010

beth

i must apologize for my lack of posts lately but purging my nest and digital life have become my top distractions in hopes of starting with an emptier canvas in the new year. hopefully, now that it is written for all to see my grand plans will be a success!

you may have noticed a brief mention of roberta oaks' first ever holiday collection in last week's scoop, and i gathered up a glimpse for those who have yet to click over to the official website to preview. the glittery group of metallic knit minis promise to sparkle just a little brighter beneath christmas twinkle lights. not to mention the pretty new frocks look quite cute paired with tights.

peek the cap sleeved claire (my favorite) and the holiday edition of the always lovely quaint after the jump!

construction details like a soft lining of bamboo and organic cotton will be very welcome news if you have ever suffered through an uncomfortably scratchy encounter with an unlined metallic garment.

there are five silhouettes offered in a shimmering palette of copper, gold and silver joined by cheery red and green, the always sophisticated black, and a bright pop of cobalt. (note: colors vary depending on style.)

you can peek the holiday collection (average price tag: $160) in the online shop or visit roberta's studio for a little help to find the perfect holiday cocktail dress.

• where: 19 north pauahi street, chinatown
• shop hours: thu & fri, 11a to 6p (open 'til 9p on first friday)

p.s. roberta will be joining project runway finalist andy south on the judging panel for the bella project's rule the runway fundraiser on nov 16th.
