What’s Going On
Change. A new year, a fresh start.
Change for Trishdarling, our parade leader, comes big. Did you know that Trishdarling is also Mergirl? Read here, and now you do. Closed are the doors to her Chester, CT boutique, and into a new studio she goes…soon we will all be drooling over new collections in her darling boutique. News stumbles in of many an indie designer closing their physical location and relying on word of mouth and their online presence only. This is why it is so important to talk to us and be a fan whether it is on your very own street corner, Facebook, Twitter, or wherever you like to gab the most!

Coming Soon
Fashion Week will soon return to excite and exhaust the heeled soles and typing fingers of fashion bloggers (oh, and all the rest of the media world -wink) and lovers from NYC, and everywhere. Stay tuned and we will tell you what is going on with our own darlings. We are excited to see a new collection from darling Papusza Couture debut at Williamsburg Fashion Weekend at the Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn. Read more here, and if you aren’t nearby maybe you should plan to be that weekend…(hint: it’s our Darling birthday too!)

Here, Juliedarling is wearing a custom necklace designed by Catabella. Don’t know if you can read it but it says,’Original Darling’. The MerGirl stretch lace top with open neckline is perfect for showing it off.
