We Give Our Thanks!

First off, we have to say that we are very thankful for all you lovely gals and all your support!!

Thanksgiving is a special time of the year where family and friends get together and chow down on yummy food! However, sometimes we rush through life forgetting about the people or things in life that matter most. We often lose sight of who we are or the miracles happening right before our eyes. Take a look, the beauty is all around you! Let's break free from our busy schedules in honor of those blessings. Let's be sure to express our appreciation for all the amazing and beautiful people who have touched our lives. Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving day. May all your festivities be filled with love, happiness, and incredible cuisines!!

Fall Fabrics

Be a trend setter wearing Fall’s most fashionable styles! While trying out new colors, don’t be afraid to pull out those old favorites in the back of your closet. We’ve compiled a number of ways on how it can be done. 

Starting with fall fabrics, runways flourished with a wide range of patterns and textures this season including our favorites: Polka Dots, Plaid, Camo-Inspired, and A Touch of Lace. 

• Polka Dot: Adding a cute and girly vibe to any outfit, this dotty trend is sure to make you stand out. You can rock this pattern from head to toe while having the freedom to mix various polka dot pieces. If this is too bold for you then pair solid pieces with your polka dot ones to make it pop.

         

• Plaid: New York fashion week fall 2011 reported granny plaids are in this season! We’ve all incorporated plaid into our wardrobe at one point or another, so rock it if you still have it. Find this style anywhere from local vintage stores to mainstream stores like H&M. 

          

• Camo-Inspired: Glamour reports camo print is another style to add to your wardrobe especially for those who like to sport an urban style. Camo-inspired clothing is best paired with boots or pumps. 

         

• A Touch Of Lace: Lace has been reintroduced rendering more of an eloquent and polished look. A touch of lace can make any girl feel confident, so use anything you have embellished in lace!
