One Dress 3 Ways

Us girls try to get the most out of our wardrobe and with the fall season sneaking up on us, light layers will be your best friend.  Thinking of putting away that summer sundress hanging in your closet?  Don't go packing up just yet.  We've provided some tips and styles to help you get the most out of your wardrobe!  

1 Dress: 3 Ways

1.)  Stack on the Accessories

While it's still warm out, take advantage of just going without a kimono, cardi or blazer.  Instead try layering on some colored jewels! 

 

2.) Kim-on Over 

Throwing on a neutral kimono is great for all you boho lovers!  

 

3.) Blazin' Hot 

For the working women, just because you have to dress professional doesn't mean your limited to boring outfits. Throw on a blazer with your printed sun dress and you are good to go!

DENIM REPORT {A RIVETING STORY}

Classic and timeless, denim will never go out of style.  We thrive upon denim and can guarantee one of our trained stylists can find the perfect fit for any body type.  Recently we just picked up a new line and are completely obsessing over it.  Jacob Davis USA is what is currently making it's way into our closets!  Here is the low down:

Background:

Jacob Davis was a tailor that was credited for inventing the modern jean.  He originally made tents, horse blankets and wagon covers from denim clothe he bought from Levi Strauss (yes the Levi Strauss) in his shop in Reno.  Davis was asked by a customer to make strong work pants and from there he was the one to come up with the copper rivets, now used on all jeans, to reinforce the stitching for a stronger durable pant.  He couldn't keep up with demand and then went to his distributor (Levi) to help fiance a patent.  Levi got on board and Davis went to work, even sewing in the double threaded stitch design onto the back pockets to distinguish them from other competitors.  He is now being credited for his works and is considered "The Unknown American Icon."  

Facts about the denim:

• Made from Japanese red selvage denim (considered to be the premier fabric in the denim world. It is seen as a symbol of quality and stability.)
• Other high quality fabrics are used including the best American, Japanese, and Italian selvage denims.
• All sewn in the U.S. and embody the Americana aesthetic brought to modern day with its contemporary design features and silhouettes.
• Features a leather guitar pick logo on the back pocket.
• All jeans are manufactured, washed and finished in Los Angeles.

Mother's Day 2015 {Gift Ideas}

Mother's Day is approaching soon, do you have a gift yet?!?!  We all want to show our mom some love but sometimes life gets too busy and you forget to go shopping.  We've put together a few last minute gift ideas to get the special lady in your life!  You can't go wrong with any of these ideas, she is sure to love them all!  What did you get your mom this year?

 

 

1. Flowers

Mom's LOVE flowers!  She can put them in her kitchen, on her front porch...or even in her office (if she's the working mom).  It's hard to disappoint with something so pretty and can make a room smell heavenly.  For the month of May we've provided a list of flowers that are in season!  

 

2. Hobo Wallet

A Mom's wallet is always full of cards, reciepts, etc. so what better way to show her some love by getting her a Hobo Wallet  to help keep her organized.  

 

 

3. Tote Bag

Never going out of style is the ever so perfect tote bag.  They are easy to haul around and can hold pretty much your whole life in them.  Mom's are always on the go and taking care of everyone.. so why not help her out by getting her a cute spacious bag to lug around! 

 

4. Spa Day Bucket

Life as a Mother is stressful...she has to take care of all the kids and the husband and she gets tired every once in awhile.  Treat her to a spa day by filling a bucket with her favorite lotions, soaps, scrubs, peels, bubble baths, etc.  She will be sure to thank you for this special thought. 

 

5. Mani/Pedi

As a woman we all love to keep our nails and toes looking in tip top shape (especially in the spring/summer months) so get your Mom some new bright colors for the season...or better yet get her a gift card to have them done, that way she can sit back and relax and come out looking fabulous!  

Fashion Friday: {Something to- DYE for}

We've seen how the 70's era is making it's way back into the fashion world with their hippie jewels and flared pants... but now every 70's, 80's and 90's kids are ECSTATIC because TIE DYE is now becoming a major staple piece on the run-ways all over the world!  Why we love this trend:  You get a mix of different hues and colors... and depending on the design you can have your beloved bright prints as well as toning it down with more earthy tones.  These different run way looks can be found in Style Magazine, Vogue, Vogue UK, and Vogue Australia.
