Tibi Events & Lookbook at The Hive

Last week we announced that Amy Smilovic, the Founder and Creative Director of Tibi, will be coming to our store for not just one event, but two. On Wednesday evening, we'll host a Book Club discussion of Almost Reckless with Amy from 6:00–8:00 p.m. You can sign up here

The following day, Amy and Christine will be in the store for styling appointments, along with our team. The store will be stocked with new arrivals, fundamentals, and a selection of pieces Tibi is sending just for the event. It's a great opportunity for me to bring in pieces I wanted to order but just couldn't fit into our regular assortment.

A great example is the Nylon Snap Bomber in Red. I loved it but wasn't sure everyone else would feel the same way. We also had other bombers, so I thought we had the category covered—but none of the others are as good as this red one. I also personally ordered the Red Leather Midi Trouser Skirt but didn't bring it into the store. Once again, I wondered if everyone shared my love of leather. I really hope they do. I've also never met a trouser skirt I didn't love.

Another piece I hesitated on was the Herringbone Suiting Trouser Short and the Men's Easy Blazer in the same fabric. Once I saw them on Style Class, I knew I had made a mistake. My sister—always the "no-no bird," as I call her—only allowed me to order one pair of shorts for fall, and I had gone with the Featherweight Viscose Neoprene Relaxed Short along with two coordinating tops, so these didn't make the cut.

As you can see, I can't always order everything I want. I pretty much wish we carried the entire line.

Below is a lookbook where you can see everything that will be in the store. If there's something you've been eyeing and we don't have it, we can always place a special order. The Tibi pros will be there to help you find the right fit and size.

If you don't have an appointment, please stop in anyway. There will be lots of people there to help. If you can't make it on Thursday, the event will continue all weekend, and The Shoe Hive team will be here to help.

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
