I can't believe how fast the line is selling out. I may have just ordered another dress from Boden (in finds), to satisfy my need for ones with sleeves and at least knee length.<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Janet- </b>I'm so glad I'm not the only one hanging on to the slips my mom passed down. That was my exact reaction when I saw these. I'm tempted to order one, simply for nostalgic reasons.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>smittie</b>- the floral dress is long sold out. I'm stalking it, just in case my size gets returned. The blouse in the same print is on it's way to me; I know I'll love wearing it. Something about the floral plus the graphic integrity of the white piping was very appealing. Agree about the pastels on me. I try pastels, to keep an open mind, but they almost never work for me.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968855 Fri, 26 Oct 2018 02:30:23 +0000 Anonymous 1968855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie, order the dress, just to see!!<br /> Love the print and colours on you.<br /> I don’t like the pastels! Too washed out on you!<br /> The collection of colours is really yummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968845 Fri, 26 Oct 2018 01:38:19 +0000 Janet 1968845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that floral print! I’m glad you got that shirt. Looks like a nice line.</p> <p>How interesting that the slip styles follow the old styles that I have in my drawer that were handed down from my mom! I was just looking at them the other day, marveling at how well they were made, and couldn’t bear to part with items that were so nice and fit me so well. It’s nice to see those return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968842 Fri, 26 Oct 2018 01:28:26 +0000 Angie 1968842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE, <b>Kathie:</b></p> <p>I saw the quality and it's FABULOUS for the price point. Some of the items more luxe than others, but generally - I'm impressed. Not as good as Boden, CM or Kate Spade - but VERY NICE.&nbsp;</p> <p>Footwear - not so comfy. But granted - my feet are hard to please.&nbsp;</p> <p>There was exactly ONE item in my size at the Flagship that I could try on. A pink blazer. It fit very well. Fits are smaller than regular Halogen because Halogen does not usually fit me. NICE. TTS fits.&nbsp;</p> <p>All the sizes together in one area US0 to US22. NICE. LOVE THAT.&nbsp; </p> <p>Dresses sold out - BECAUSE WE ARE SOOO STARVED OF LENGTHS AND SLEEVES.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968666 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 16:20:15 +0000 Kathie 1968666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Angie</b>- I can't wait to see what you think of the line. I was also intrigued that she included lingerie/foundation garments. Those are such a nice, feminine, luxurious detail, but seemingly so often over-looked as part of a clothing line.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>MsMaven</b>- I was so happy about the colors in the blouse. I truly have a hard time finding prints that I like, in colors I enjoy.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>shevia</b>-&nbsp; I, too, had no idea that this line was coming out. (Other than YLF, I don't keep up with the fashion world.) I might have completely missed it, had I not been looking for tops in general.<br /></div><br /><div><b>lisa p</b>- thanks for the vote of confidence in the blouse! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suz</b>,<b> annagybe</b>- I really enjoy everyone's reviews- so helpful. It's nice to be able to contribute.<br /></div><br /><b>Chris987</b>- let us know what you find!<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>suntiger</b>- I can't wait for the blouse to arrive!

Glad you got the blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968580 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 12:34:59 +0000 Chris987 1968580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I've been seeing these pop up in the finds list, noted that many of them come in petite sizing, and will definitely give them a further look. Thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968466 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 04:02:06 +0000 Suz 1968466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for these reviews!

I do like the first blouse and the black sweater on you (understand it doesn't work for your climate).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968435 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 02:35:50 +0000 MsMaven 1968435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1-2 on you, colors great for your coloring. The color of the cable knit is blah by comparison. Same with #5. Black is intriguing. Thanks for the reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968427 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 02:12:43 +0000 Angie 1968427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE. Thanks so much for the reviews and pics, Kathie. Very thoughtful and helpful. I can’t wait to see the collection tomorrow when I’m back in Seattle. </p> <p>Agree you need a size up on the first blouse. Too tight under the arms. Smashing pattern. Quite ‘60s. Great potential.</p> <p>Like #5 best, but get why you left it behind. </p> <p>There is more of the collection in the pipeline. </p> <p>I think Blair’s Halogen collection has a Boden and Kate Spade integrity. I am VERY CURIOUS about the quality. I like the colour and parttern richness of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-review-halogen-x-atlantic-pacific#post-1968424 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 02:02:03 +0000 Kathie 1968424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to make a return to Nordstrom’s, and since the new Halogen Atlantic-Pacific line has just been released, and is selling out quickly for some items, I made a stop by my local store. I had a 10yo helper with me- he took pictures, but I had promised him a quick trip, so I didn’t try on everything.</p> <p>Some notes-</p> <p>1-2) Hidden Placket Blouse- I loved this. Quality seemed good for the price. I’m wearing an XS in this pic, but decided to order a S, for a more fluid fit through the shoulders. This got a thumbs up from the 10yo. It will be great with the 5 black bottoms I own.</p> <p>3) Cable sweater- also liked the quality for the price. I tried this, in case I wanted to add a cable sweater to my wardrobe. But, it doesn’t seem like something I want right now. The 10yo did not think the gray was a good color for me, but there are lots of other colors. Wearing a S.</p> <p>4) Shimmer stripe sweater- I really liked the fabric on this, and if the background of the more colorful one was black, and not navy, it would be mine. The shimmer was subtle and not scratchy. I did not like the fabric of the solid version- very different, stiffer and a lot more Lurex, so did not have a great feel in hand. Wearing a S.</p> <p>5) Wool and Cashmere blend tie sweater- loved how this looked and draped. It’s a bit thicker/heavier than I like for my climate, so I left it behind, but that’s really because I’m being fairly picky in what I add at this point. I also thought the price was just a bit high for the quality. The Boden 100% cashmere sweaters were just one rack over at my store, and for a similar price, I thought those were nicer.</p> <p>6) A rack of clothes, to show the colors.</p> <p>Other notes- I did not try on the tweed jacket with faux fur trim. Thin fabric for a tweed, weird texture. The stripe cashmere wrap was beautiful though, and my 10yo also approved of it. I’m still contemplating that piece, because the colors are amazing. The picture in the find does not do it justice.</p> <p>I found the fits TTS- sometimes I think Halogen runs slightly large, but not this particular line. Also, my arms are slightly short, so most people would probably find the sleeve length to be fine, though it appears long on me in most of these pictures.</p> <p>I’ll be curious what others think, if you order, or see the line at a store. </p>
