Spring 2020 Trends!

Welcome to spring 2020! We have already been receiving new and exciting merchandise to get you ready for the new season! Here's a few things to look out for: Mixed media...like the blouse pictured, it means the use of different fabrics, prints and colors to make up one piece! Tie-dye & Stripes...the former brings an island feel and the latter nautical.  Two spring staples!! Wide leg pants...probably the most important trend overall.  Invest in at least one palazzo, trouser or paperbag (loose ... read more

Plaid is still on-trend!

How do you know if a trend from last year will still be around this year? First, if there’s a “trend” going on in the marketplace, you can trust that it will still be strong the next year…sometimes even longer!  These things tend to stick around a while.  Second, mainstays like plaid are ALWAYS in-style it’s just that some years it’s more “hip” than others.  So, if you have a plaid shirt, pull it out and if you haven’t gone there yet, we have plenty for you to try! Pictured: plaid “tie” blouse b ... read more

Our duty to our country…

To our dear customers, Not all of you may know how important buying domestic products is to us.  We've had this conversation with many of our customers, but we wanted to make sure that you are aware of how hard we try to buy products MADE IN THE USA!!

Thank you fro ... read more

Celebrate Fashion Week with these Spring Trends!

Here are a few ideas for you to try this season! Introduce a little piece of Pantone's color of the year, "Greenery," into your wardrobe.  Remember that all colors have many tones, so if you think you can't wear green, look for different shades. Cut out sleeves.  Either on the shoulder or going down the sleeve, it shows just a little bit of skin without exposing any "yucky" part of our arms. Black & White.  Nothing new or surprising about this, but every year it's trending! Holes! We love "p ... read more

Fall Coming in and Blowing Out…already!

EI Dishes on the Royal Wedding Gown!

Our official weigh-in on the new Princess' Wedding Dress...we LOVED IT!   We thought the gown was a perfect combination of modern sophistication and traditional feminism.  The sweetheart neckline of the bodice (which fit her lithe figure like a glove) was slightly edgy with a little cleavage.  However, the  intricate lace gave her gown  a softer, vintage look.   Very reminiscent of Grace Kelly.  Now, while we could see her in a slinky biased cut gown, we realize that her circumstances called for ... read more
