Mothers Day Gifts!

My mom flooded my email today with pictures of all the Virgin Saints and Angels items we have at the store that are PERFECT for mother's day gifts. Honestly, you really can't get much better than these beautiful necklaces, or a keychain for those looking to spend a little less. Virgin Saints and Angels is an amazing line that tells an amazing story- Kel has told it to all you fashion divas, so i'll skip that part.

Anyways- the accessories are perfect for all types of women. My mom is what I like to call trendy when it comes to style, so she usually opts for the layered necklace like the one below- in fact us girls all gave a very similar one to her for Christmas! The layers give a little flare to the piece making it a fun accessory to pair with an equally fun outfit. But what's really great is you can throw on a v-neck and jeans and still wear it effortlessly looking super casual for a day at the mall. I absolutely love when jewlery can be dressed up or down and this is definitely one of those pieces!  Also- it can be worn by literally any type of woman- whether your mom is a cardigan and jeans gal, or black pants and synched at the waist sweater gal, the necklace will be very easily worn. I especially love the detail on this necklace- it's delicate and looks like an antique piece- which all the VSA items do. We have a lot more styles in the store and would be more than happy to help you pick the perfect one!






Like I said, the keychain is also a super fun accessory. My mom gave one to each of the five sisters (and herself) for christmas and it was such a special present to each of us. That's another reason VSA is such a great line- for some reason the pieces just appear so special. The keychains can be especially great if your mom isn't exactly a jewlery wearer or if your dad usually takes care of that gift ( like my dad does!).  Each key chain has a stone and we personally did stones that were our birthstones which can be special but it's also fun to just do a stone your mom loves!

Comfy in Neon

Soo, I'm pretty obsessed with this whole blog thing, so I'm posting again today : )




Yesterday was my roommate, and best friend Mary's birthday. She is a true dare devil when it comes to fashion- one day she's wearing baggy jeans and a plaid button down, and the next she's rocking ripped tights under jean shorts and a flirty top. For her birthday I decided to fuel her fire and get her a little splash of neon from the store to add to her crazy collection. The price is perfect- just 18 for a spring to summer scarf. I love scarfs because they can truly make an outfit. Throw on a v-neck, a pair of jeans, and put on the comfy scarf and you have it made. This particular scarf, in neon tie die adds a bit of dare and creativity to your outfit, while still remaining casual and relaxed.

The way Mary paired her scarf with a very casual outfit was perfect for a day of classes. Like I said, scarfs are great- in fact, they're my favorite accessory. Even on a lazy day, when the effort to put on a chic outfit isn't there, I can throw on a scarf over my pull over and suddenly the outfit looks put together. We have so many options in the store- for the more conservative fashionistas as well as those trying to add a splash of floral or simple print to their wardrobe! We have it all, so come in and see for yourselves!

Florida Fabulous

Hi all! I'm here to do a little guest blogging, hope you enjoy! :)



The family took a trip down to Florida for easter this past weekend, and with five girls this always means over packing and an hour of throwing on clothes trying to put an outfit together before dinner. It's hectic to say the least and with our Dad being largely outnumbered, he's always known to make us be ready 20 minutes before we actually need to leave. All in all, it's a rush for the last ten minutes trying to find that one shoe or top. I wanted to avoid this all together this year and packed my outfits carefully. My mom has always told us that Rompers are worth the splurge- although often a little pricier they are an entire outfit so there is no trying to decide what shorts go best with what top. I took her advice seriously this trip and stopped in the store Tuesday to purchase this awesome Jenny Han black romper, that fits perfectly to literally any body shape.

Meet Megan ....

I'm going on vaca and intend to relax so my little fashionista sister, Megan, will be guest blogging. She is one of those people who can wear anything and manages to always pull it off. She rarely cares what people think of her fashion choices which is something I think we all wish we could do. All in all, she is a pretty darn good time. I'll come back next week rejuvenated and ready to share a lot :) Until then...Enjoy miss megan!

Weather Blues

Omg. I can't handle this weather any longer. I know we live in Wisconsin but snow in late April is pushing my limit. In the attempt to get me in a better mood, I tried on almost everything in my store...I've been working by myself the past three days, so I was also going a bit stir crazy. ( not that I didn't have work to do or anything ;) Anywhoo, here's the outfit I bought for our wknd in Naples!




Aryn K top ( $66) , James Jean's Twiggy Crop in White ($124) , and Candie's Vivien Platform Wedge ( We don't sell shoes, and I just bought these for like $30 at Kohl's...They're a knock off of Steve Maddens)

Spring is in the air...or not?

I'm putting spring decorations up in the store window right now, but it's a bit depressing as it's gloomy outside right now. I need the beach, sun, and some tropical drink in my hand right about now...Thank goodness for a much needed vacation in two weeks!!! Dreaming...
