hello spring.

here's a look behind the scenes at the spring photo shoot, the old village in charleston.

here's a secret... this dress may be featured in the Southern Living edition on new stands in january.

all the red and green have you feeling blue? no fear spring is around the corner. in fact, here at LaRoque, spring is in full swing. i am so excited to announce our spring wholesale collection. now you can find LaRoque in over 40 boutiques along the east coast. preppy frocks that say your ready for a horse race and a mint julep. here is a sneak peek at what's ahead. coral, lime and aqua when all the red and green is done.

last frame of the day...

many thanks to the very talented virgil bunao for the photography.

and sayde claxton for modeling.
