Wishing everyone a happy holiday and new year! Thank you for your continued support of the store, we wouldn’t be here without you!

We had a lot of good changes in 2010. We welcomed some new interns and sales associates to the Parc team, we moved into a new location, started a rewards program, hosted some fun events & trunk shows, and ended the year off with high hopes for 2011. You will have to wait and see what we have planned for the next year, you won’t be disappointed.

We will have special store hours this week:
December 24th: Closed at 4pm
December 25th: Closed
December 31: Closed at 4pm
January 1: Closed

With the snow coming down and below temps, what else are we to do but bundle up? We all brave the weather each year so why not layer up in style!   We just received a shipment of some soft cable knit chunky scarves in oatmeal, charcoal, and black for a steal of $28 each.

If a big chunky scarf seems a bit overwhelming, remember to keep it balanced.  If you have a lot of layers on top, keep it sleek and slim on the bottom.

Here are some great ways to wear a chunky scarf…

Wrapped around the neck then tied in a loose knot.

Wrapped around the neck multiple times.

Thrown over your shoulder.

It’s unisex so guys can totally rock this scarf too!  Just use the excuse when you purchase one “we can both share it”.

We are now carrying Freedom From Doubt’s Fall/Winter  fashionable handmade neckwear line by local designer Jared Zachary.  He stopped in last week and dropped off a few favorites from his collection.  The best part is, it’s already tied and ready to go. Genius!  No need to learn how to tie a perfect bow tie.

We suggest pairing it with a cardigan like this or with a simple button down shirt with or without a blazer.

“Freedom From Doubt has produced a fall/winter 2010 line that features soft, luxurious fabrics, such as cashmere and wool, in a newly fashioned silhouette. The sharp dressed gentleman is all about fine details, and this collection delivers them in a confident, yet understated way.”

After we got situated in our new space, we couldn’t wait to show it off so of course we had to throw a Grand Re-Opening Celebration.  We had a huge turn out and it was so great to see all you lovely loyal Parc customers.  Special thanks to all that stopped by and celebrated with us.  We had wine and beer flowing, DJ Sticky from Nora Events spun some great tunes and we couldn’t get enough of the delicious appetizers from Solo By Bonicelli.  To top it off, we have some great images to show you from Cadence Cornelius Photographs.  You can check out more images here on our facebook page.

We’ve been in our new space for over two weeks now and we absolutely love our new home.  It’s bigger yet still has the same vibe and feel from our old store.  We still carry great casual chic basics for men & women as well as jewelry and accessories (with most items under $100) but now with a more expanded selection than ever before. If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, here are some pics taken by Cadence Cornelius Photographs. I hope you love the new space as much as we do!  We have more pictures on our facebook page here.

Are you hosting or attending a casual Thanksgiving dinner as a couple? Perhaps you want to impress the in laws or soon to be future in laws, why not start by your style.   Here’s a His & Hers turkey day dinner outfit inspiration I put together.  Enjoy!

{HIS} Start with dark denim if you want to stay casual yet still look put together at the same time. Wear it with a button down shirt, and layer that up with a funnel neck sweater and pair that with a great watch and leather boots. Don’t forget to leave the house without a scarf, it’s chilly out there.

{HERS} We just received this Kensie fringe sweater last week $88. Pair this with some military cargo skinnies, a colorful belt, and finish it off with some festive stud earrings and a clutch. If you are stopping by the in laws, don’t forget to bake (or pick up, shhh I won’t tell) some pie to share. They’ll love you forever for that!
