by Araceli Lerma, Style Correspondent and Rianna Brown, Staff Photographer.
Imagine that special feeling knowing that no one else in town is wearing your dress. Coquette Boutique makes a special effort to bring in true specialty couture pieces to Denver, straight from Europe. In the 12 years that Coquette has been open, the boutique has made a name for stocking very intriguing clothing and jewelry. Warning! This store is irresistible.
Dress by Elana Kattan
Look like masterpiece in this lovely dress by Elana Kattan with a soft aquarelle print that reminds me of a Monet painting. These great colors are perfect for summer! Even though this polyester dress is so soft, it’s still constructed with an inside shaper; how convenient is that? All of Elana Kattan’s designs have this feature. Finish it with little touches like these glamorous, genuine pearl drop earrings. The flirty necklace has green stones and pearls. Try it with some metallic shoes like these simple-but-sexy silver sandals. Dress by Elana Kattan $220; platinum shoes by Down Boy $67; earrings by Fine Design $45.00; necklace by Fine Design $199.
Blouse by Kamarov, slacks by Elana Kattan
This fuchsia geranium floral blouse by Kamorav has long bell sleeves that drape into lettuce edge cuffs. I liked it layered over a sheer white tank top. The Kamorav brand is all constructed with custom fabrics specially made for the line, with elegance in mind. The crinkle fabric is hand washable, and it’s a great piece to pack for travel. I put it together with these slacks by Elana Kattan that are sexy, slick, modern, comfortable and also have the inside shaper. For extra glitz, I’m wearing a ring from Swarovski that I loved so much, I was sad I had to take it off after the photo shoot. I have to go back and get it; that’s how much impact it had on me. It’s handmade in Italy and also adjustable! Like me, you won’t want to take it off. It is the same thing with the necklace; it has an adjustable curve design with the stone in the center. Blouse by Kamorav $179, tank top by Sucre Soir $45, slacks by Elana Kattan $139, necklace by Monali $139, ring by Monali $139, shoes by Joseph Griffin $89.
Black crinkle dress by Kamorav
This black dress can go anywhere. Its elegant design is hand washable that’s idea about the Kamorav line made of crinkle fabric. The black lace yoke is seductive but not too revealing. The white leaves in the print add the perfect contrast and make a focal point of the bust and waist. The flare of the dress gives it look really playful feel…like a coquette! The necklace is made of multiple strands of black beads and pearls that rest perfectly on your neckline. Pair it up with drop earrings of long rectangle pearls and wrapped silver beads. A silver band bracelet works so well this sleeveless dress. Accompany the ensemble with this black patent leather clutch from Beijo. Don’t be afraid to use your most classy accessories with this gorgeous dress. Dress by Kamorav $250, earrings by Fine Design $60, necklace by Fine Design $289, bracelet by Sergio Gutierrez $119, clutch by Beijo $90.

Do you carry Size 0 or 2 in jeans; saw an ad for french dressing jeans. If so, what is the price range as I am not near Cherry Creek so would only make the trip if worthwhile. I like the higher rise style as the low styles really gap in the back on me.
Thank you
