On the prowl
• Who she is: Jane, a visitor from Charlotte, N.C.
• What she’s wearing: Animal-print coat purchased on a trip to Charleston, S.C.; Nordic-motif gloves with faux-fur trim, bought in Charlotte; and pink corduroy pants.
• Why we love it: Jane has all the elements of cold-weather wear (cozy coat, fuzzy gloves), but none of the adult-in-a-snowsuit bulk that can go along with bundling up. The animal print and furry trim add an exotic touch, while her pink cords keep the look fun and girly.

• Local designer Brooke Priddy is taking her Ship to Shore label in a new direction: ready-made apparel. But here’s where Priddy’s clothing differs from other off-the-rack designs — each piece is sill one-of-a-kind and is removed from her dress showcasing Web site (www.shiptoshoreshop.com) as soon as it’s purchased. Look for body-conscious knits and flowing gowns fit for goddesses and soccer moms alike. Oh, and custom clothing is still available.
• Whether you’re into yoga and love loose, fluid garments, or you’re a big fan of Bombay films and lust after rich-hued Indian-inspired fabrics, designer Milijana has your skirt. These wrap-and-go pieces feature South Indian trims, perfect for meditation or grooving all night at a Bollywood outre lounge party. Check out www.girlsskirtmission.com.
