Save the Queen!
Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing
Save the Queen! may be lurking just beyond your realm of fashion awareness. Perhaps you've seen them cited in the occasional magazine, or on a website detailing what a particular celebrity is wearing. Their shops are only located in Florence, Paris, and Rome. Fortunately, they were having a show last time we stopped at The Plaza in New York City. We got a good look at their inventive and exciting designs and wanted to tell you all about it!
They gave us a brochure with some adorably incorrect English (ambients instead of ambiance, etc.) with details about their shops abroad. The Florence shop is constructed to feel like a "sitting room" for a personal, in-the-designer's-home feel. The more commercial shops in Paris and Rome feature elegant decor and modern, black iron fixtures for showcasing the vibrantly colored items.
Their designs draw from history, like their recent collection based on the wedding banquet of Marie de'Medici and Henry IV. How cool is that? Their current line is inspired by The Silk Road in the time of Genghis Khan. For now, we recommend you pick their designs up on eBay. Keep an eye on Save the Queen!

I discovered "Save the Queen" 2 years ago. I now own 14 of them. Every time I wear one, including recently in Los Angeles at the Television Academy, some woman will come up to me and ask about it. They are absolutely unique and beautiful. I have never seen another woman wearing "Save the Queen". You must have a very good body to wear this line as it is quite clingy, but just gorgeous. I encourage all to look up "Save the Queen" on the web, and it will direct you to different websites. My favorite is on eBay, Designer's Basement, because these are $1200 dresses which are DRASTICALLY discounted on this particular website. Ladies, go for it!

I love "Save The Queen" but it's so hard to find it here in US. I did see some blouses and dresses in Las Vegas boutique a couple of years ago but they were outrageously expensive and not even current, more like 2-3 seasons back. So I'm very excited to find Designer's Basement on eBay. HUGE SELECTION! And prices are a steal! You can't find a better Italian designer clothing with such attention to detail and flattering fit for the money. I'm hooked! If you want to be unique and stand out from the crowd this is your best bet!

Wow! I was just told that my eBay store was praised here and I'm very flattered and excited to see that 2 of my customers mentioned me. Thank you ladies!
I take pride in my store and merchandize, I always try to get rare, sought after items but can never be quite sure which would be the best seller. "SQ" definitely is a great one. The dresses are so unique. Every dress tells its own story. So, I'm having fun just taking pictures and writing descriptions for them. And wearing them is quite rewarding! I've kept a few for myself.
I just listed new Spring "SQ" dresses in my eStore. I'd like to welcome everyone who might come across this post to visit my site here:

You'll find many winter outerwear and dresses there, too.
Hope to see you there.
And, if you mention this post, I'll give you $10 off on your purchase.
Happy Thanksgiving!
