From the Boardroom to the Ballroom, The Lake Forest Shop Has It All This Fall

This fall, The Lake Forest Shop is introducing elegant designer clothing with every woman in mind. With its outstanding personal shopping services and diverse fashions that take busy women from the boardroom to the ballroom, the North Shore boutique has something appropriate and unique for each and every customer. Mark your calendars for these upcoming events and be ready for any fall occasion!

On Thursday, September 24th through Saturday, 26th, The Lake Forest Shop will feature the fall collection of their most popular and esteemed designer, ALGO of Switzerland. Known for using the highest quality materials, ALGO’S very fine leathers mixed with fabrics, wonderful furs and cashmere knits are sure to please. Finding the exact right fit and color for each woman is a part of The Lake Forest Shop’s personal shopping service. Carlo Goetschel, president of ALGO, will be in the store all three days to meet with you.

“This is a customer experience you won’t find anywhere else on the North Shore,” said Ellen Stirling, owner of The Lake Forest Shop. “Not only is this collection exclusive and beautiful, but it’s also made for you. A woman can really create her own statement and walk away feeling like royalty! And by the way, Kate Middleton wore ALGO for the christening of baby Charlotte!”

On Tuesday, September 29th through Saturday, October 3rd, women are invited to stop in The Lake Forest Shop to see the versatile line of clothing from renowned clothier Lafayette 148. The fall styles range from the softest leather to the most luxurious wool, including printed silks and incredible blouses in all sizes, making them perfect for any occasion.

“Lafayette 148 makes women feel effortlessly polished no matter how much (or little) time they have,” said Stirling. “She could be running late for dinner from her meeting and still look on point. This collection incorporates petites to large sizes, truly for all types of women.”

The Lake Forest Shop invites you to a Ladies Night Out on Wednesday, September 30th from 6-8 p.m. In partnership with the Women’s Leadership Council, 10% of all purchases will support the Little Kids, Big Futures fund that supports early childhood literacy programs. Enjoy music, drinks, and hors d’oeuvres while shopping the new fall fashions. James Goodman of Lafayette 148 will be on hand to discuss and show the collection.
