The snow is snowing; the wind is blowing

As promised, slc POMP was out in full force on Friday for Salt Lake's Holiday Fashion Stroll. It was bitterly cold and snowing hard, but we still managed to find some great outfits on Broadway – the city's current fashion hotspot. 

We started our evening at Frosty Darling, where the always impeccably dressed Gentry showed off a beautiful 50s holiday dress:

As we walked around her store, a fashion stroller asked Gentry where she got the thousands of amazing things in her store. She replied that (of course) it's a secret. We will tell you that Frosty Darling is on 200 East and Broadway, and that you should look for it in our upcoming gift guide.

Sonja wore a velvet jacket and leg warmers to compliment her new Wranglers from Black Chandelier. Except the jeans, Sonja and Lisa (see next photo) created all their clothing from old vintage clothes, updated with new cuts and embellishments.

Lisa is the designer behind the clothes at Frosty Darling this winter. She told us that long skirts are definitely due for a comeback, and that her winter clothes philosophy is as simple as "color, texture, warmth."

Henrie's is a drive-through dry cleaner by day and a fashion runway by night. Before the show, we found Tayler, a fashion stroll makeup artist. She had a beautiful orange coat from the Salvation Army and a scarf from the Dancing Crane in Sugarhouse. Tayler advised all makeup-wearing slc POMP readers to know the color wheel and "go with what feels comfortable."

hoody


Though not completely original (or O.G.) this hoody from Uprok has some nice details. I always like to see rhinestones look tough. Modeled by some guy from W Talent – can someone remind me why Salt Lake needs modeling so many model agencies?

plaid


I was so excited when I saw this outfit from Model Citizen. The plaid is perfect for summer or winter. Unfortunately, Model Citizen's selections fizzeled out fast:

The second model looks like she came from a high school drill team. The third model looks like she got in a fight with a toner cartridge.

Finally, for all your bedroom re-enactments of The Count of Monte Cristo, Spark has a ready-made costume. I love to go to Spark for its unique shoes and mildly offensive underwear, but whenever I see what can only be a coat for gay pimps there, I can't hold back the laughter.

Always yours,

I recently saw a pant suit/bell bottom jumper at model citizen, with a very detailed top.

I want to love the store, but it feel like the south jordan mormon outfitter sometimes.

first four look great.
