Time to kick off the flip-flops and get dressed again. Both literally: it’s going to be getting cool and cooler…and figuratively: it means looking pulled together, polished, chic, elegant. In other words: not thrown together a la “anything goes”, but purposefully dressed!
If, in the recent past, words like classic, grown-up, well-mannered, comfortable, womanly had seemed to be antonyms to the word fashion, for fall and winter 2010 they are synonymous. The going trends have caught up with what women really want : stylish, not kook-y , feminine not girley; modern and contemporary not outlandish; young not teeny-bopper! Good-bye kid-stuff!

Rich fabrics, gorgeous color, and simple sleek silhouettes are the signature elements of the Kathlin Argiro collection. Her style is often compared to that of fashion icons Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. It is these women that embody the qualities that Ms. Argiro uses to describe her customer whom she describes as a “woman who wants to be noticed in the right way.”
Most recently Ms. Argiro’s designs have been worn by style guru Stacy London in her Ad campaign to promote her new show Fashionably Late with Stacey London and by Today Show’s Katie Couric. Her clothing has also been featured in Vogue, In-Style, The Washington Post, The Today Show, Fox Television and many more.
Now you can meet this lovely designer and see her gorgeous Fall/Holiday Collection, as Merrick’s Too presents its KATHLIN ARGIRO TRUNK SHOW on FRIDAY & SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th and 18th. Our shop will be full of Kathlin’s daytime, cocktail and special occasion dresses – with a shipment of her fabulous wrap dresses in store for our Grand Opening on September 11th. Kathlin herself will join us at the Trunk Show on Saturday the 18th. Don’t miss it!

The BEST of the old, but something Brand New…We’re introducing Merrick’s Too!
Not to be outdone by losing our lease, Merrick’s is BACK! We”ll re-open shop from September 11th through October 31st at The Princeton Shopping Center on Harrison Street. We’re #49 – right between Bon Appetite and Main Street Restaurant, and across from Metropolis Salon & Spa. So gather your girlfriends and make a day of it – manicure at Metropolis, lunch next door and Merrick’s Too – where you can shop til you drop!
What you’ll find at Merrick’s Too is the same personal service, honest opinions and quality clothing we’ve brought you for over twenty-five years. BUT, you’ll see something else as well! Your response to our “closing sale” was so amazing that Merrick’s T00 will continue to carry discounted ‘samples’ from your favorite designers, in addition to the season’s most current Collections.
