Splendid/ Ella Moss

I've been in love with the silhouettes of Ella Moss for a long time - a very whimsical, flirty feel. The quality of the brand is lasting.

Splendid is a little less pricey and the brand is known for having relaxed silhouettes and a comfortable feel. We're lucky enough to have scored both brands for spring and summer!

Jennifer Lopez's Candy!

If you've been watching American Idol, please tell me you've noticed the incredible candy on Jennifer Lopez's fingers. Every week she has new bling...It's definitely not your everyday kind of jewelry, but she's j.lo so she makes it work. I'm kind of loving the comeback she's making...

Jenny Han brings us color

Jenny Han Yellow Zebra Shirt Tunic

Our HUGE store-wide sale will only last a few more weeks, because we've been receiving spring merchandise daily. I'm super excited for the new merchandise, as I think we've done a great job this season tailoring our selection to what we know you're looking for. It's more casual, everyday looks that can be transitioned from day to night easily.

 When I saw this yellow tunic from Jenny Han, I was immediately in lovvee! I don't wear a lot of color, but this silhouette and pop of color would be a great addition to my closet for spring and summer. It's so versatile. I could see it being worn with a pair of skinnys for spring or white pants for summer...It would also look great with wide-legs (yes, they are making a huge come back - more on that in the next post). Unfortunately, I only bought four pieces so I'm leaving it to y'all to snatch them up.

Lace

It's not a new trend but has come back strong for spring/summer 2011. The balance of lace is to make it romantic but not over-girly....

Olivia Palermo in lace with no slip - It's romantic without being crazy over the top girlish.

Here are some easier ways to bring lace into your wardrobe...

Both dresses are Tracey Reese's Frock Line - Five Hearts

 

Three Dots  for a more casual day look.

Military Green

I'm back from my holiday! I spent my vacation in Naples, Florida which wasn't as warm as I had anticipated but I'd choose 60's over the negative sconnie weather any day! When I returned Tuesday, I was thrilled to see new merchandise in the store. When I was perusing the racks, I realized a trend...Military green and zippers were clearly on our mind when we bought for spring. Here are some of the new pieces fitting the trend...

Military Zipper Dress - $88

Loose Knit Sweater w/ Zipper Back - $78

Kensie Print Draped Cardigan - $88

James Cargo Pant - $172 (40% off )

MM Coture Bondage Skirt - $68

Can't wait for spring weather to wear these...

Statement jewelry

David Aubrey - We stumbled on Daivd Aubrey designs at the accessories circuit  and fell in love. There are some amazing statement necklaces and loads of colors in their spring line. I realized when I got back home that the reason I probably loved it so much was I already own some pieces which I bought at anthropologie way back when. The necklaces would be great for spring and summer with simple tops and dresses. Here's a few pieces to give you an idea of what we have coming in...

I've been on hiatus from blogging lately. With a crazy holiday season and getting things in order at the store after the new year, I had little energy to write. But we're back and ready to talk!

I spent the beginning of this week in New York at the accessories show and intermezzo which is a clothing show. I wish I could have brought back more from the accessories show, because the jewelry lines we found were beyond amazing. We bought a lot of statement necklaces with bold colors for spring time as well as some perfect staple earrings. I'll post some of the lines in a little bit... :)
