Special Requests.

Is there a size or dress you want but we don't have on the website? For example here is our bikini, which I've been hoarding for myself and not putting on the website. Why? Because I go through bikinis. I'll make more, I'm cool with it -just request one. Email us and we'll gladly try to locate some sizes for you... Email sales@heidimerrick.com.

Dear Katee Sackhoff,

Hi Katee,
You probably don't know me. (I say probably bc maybe you happened to see me in the LA times the same week Boomer was in -the article did note I was a BSG fan)??? Anyhoo, I'm familiar with you, as Starbuck, and I thought it'd be worth mentioning... I'm a designer and your an actress, so it seems like a great opportunity for friendship.
Things we have in common:
You work a lot -I work a lot.
You work in Canada -I sell to stores (or store) in Canada.
You're finished with Battlestar, I just finished Fall 09.
You kick butt, and well you get it.
But if you'd like to contact me, email me! Maybe you could wear some of my dresses around, or you could come over for a bbq, or we could go surfing or dirt biking sometime. Let me know!
xoxo Heidi

The New Face of Heidi Merrick.

If this were a contest and we were really looking for the new "face of Heidi Merrick" it'd be a done deal. No one's cuter than this. This is just one in a series too. But really, why don't you send me pictures of yourself in your Heidi Merrick's. We'd love to see them. Send to: heidimerrick@heidimerrick

Made in the USA

Someone emailed asking if our collection was made in the USA. Of course it is! Have I not made myself clear? Do you know anything about me? How could I be who I am while making things over-seas? Though I love the term "over seas", romantic -I hate the idea in terms of production. I believe in this country! It's given me and my family great opportunity. I love working with people, I love working with hard working people. So yes, everything is made in the USA! Not just that, but made in LOS ANGELES and not just that, but made within walking distance of my studio! What part of, hands on - a wee bit of a control freak-make my own patterns-love certain stitches - didn't I communicate?

Hatton Pant.

I'm wearing the Hatton pant today -hooray you say. I want to pass on some details to my customers so you can shop with knowledge. Linen has a gradual stretch. It's slow coming but it does not recover. Only after washing. I'm saying this because unless you want a dumpy bum you should buy them so they're very fitted in this area. I've sized them appropriately. When you try on a 4 and you are indeed a 4 it should be tight in you bum and thighs. When you move and stretch through out the day you'll end up looking good. Not dumpy. Not that I'm not down with dumpy pants. They're cool, especially if you're Euro.

Obi Belt

I love to tell people how to dress, obviously. Especially for their bodies, so if you don't want help with your silhouette don't read on. The obi belt is small -ish, meant to be worn on your true waist. Above your belly button, people love to argue it, oh I don't have time for that. Watch some old Liz Taylor movies, see her hold her waist in even in a bathing suit -lovely. Please don't push it down trying to cover some feeling you have of a pouch, it just looks worse. Believe me.

Tailored pockets.

Recently a customer emailed regarding her recently purchased blazer pockets. She was wondering why they were "fake" pockets unlike the ones in the pictures. Oh, it makes me sad that someone even for a moment would think I'd fake pockets. I love pockets! I like to put special colors in them or hide in them beautiful details that are just for the wearer. Hello? It's practically a signature of mine, an outrageous lining color and an understated dress... But my point is, sometimes a tailored pocket comes gently sewn shut for the owner to open at his or her own time. Just poke a finger in find the stitch and pull or trim, it should come right out. oxxo

Spring yippee!

Sometimes it's hard for me to control myself and not tell everyone else how to dress. I don't want us all to dress the same. Mais non! I just want people to step into their look. For example my friend -just kidding, I'm not calling anyone out on my blog. But I will say, I love when a look clicks. It resonates with your lifestyle and you look relaxed and put together at the same time. This is a look from my Fall 09, it clicks for me.

Daily Candy

Do you get it??? Because if you do, there might be a sweet little treat from "Heidi Merrick" in the deals section. You should sign up!!!! xoxo
p.s. I only refer to myself in quotes if it means the company as a whole. We need a little separation, yes?

Pretty dress.

Sometimes I just want to show you the back view and give you some details of dresses I'm into right now... This is the Natalie in blood orange. It's named after one of the sweetest, kindest, most well-mannered little girls in the world who actually wants to grow up to be a fashion designer. I want to grow up to be as sweet as Natalie. The dress is on sale in the shopping cart now and my cousin just bought one to wear around Barcelona -very chic. It's shown here with the belt we wear with everything, the Obi. Thought I'd let you in.
