J.Jill | Fresh Take On Fall Classics

Fall dressing doesn’t have to be complicated. Cozy sweaters, versatile layers, and pieces that work well together can go a long way when putting together a seasonal wardrobe, and the latest styles at J.Jill offer plenty of inspiration, with classic silhouettes, beautiful textures, and a muted color palette that feels right at home for Fall.

This season, it’s all about rich neutrals, soft layers, and interesting textures. A trending color combination to try right now is to pair a soft baby blue knit sweater with a chocolate brown pleated skirt. The silhouette is timeless, but the color combination gives it a fresh, modern feel. It’s a simple way to incorporate a trending color pairing without stepping too far outside your usual style.

For more casual days, corduroy pants, a cozy sweater, and a long cardigan make an easy outfit for cooler temperatures., while a suede shirt dress paired with boots and a patterned silk scarf offers another take on everyday Fall style.

A printed knee-length dress styled with boots gets a relaxed update with a chunky sweater draped over the shoulders.

Cream, hunter green, brown, and blue tie everything together, making these pieces especially easy to mix, match, and layer. Whether worn together or styled with pieces already hanging in your closet, they’re the kind of wardrobe staples you’ll reach for all season.

Stop by J.Jill to explore the latest collection and find a few new favorites for Fall.

Classic with a Twist | Day-to-Night Style with Evereve

Blog

A great wardrobe is all about finding pieces you can wear more than one way, and the latest arrivals at Evereve make it super easy to mix things up. With a focus on interesting textures, classic silhouettes, and a few unexpected details, the styles that they have in this season offer plenty of inspiration for dressing from day to night.

For daytime dressing, classic denim gets a little extra personality with the addition of textured layers (think faux fur vests, an eye-catching animal print coat, and your favorite denim pieces styled together). They’re easy to wear, comfortable, and just different enough to make an everyday outfit feel a little more special. These are the kinds of pieces that can easily become wardrobe staples, whether you’re running errands, meeting friends for lunch, or heading out for a casual day around town.

When evening plans call, it’s time to bring on a little sparkle and shine. A sequin top paired with a satin skirt makes a classic yet fun combination for holiday gatherings, while a knit tank with sparkly accents and satin cargo pants offers a more unexpected take on party dressing. Both looks strike that sweet spot between dressed up and relaxed.

What makes these pieces especially fun is their versatility; you can style them so many different ways.

This season, stop by Evereve for more day-to-night inspiration and find a few new favorites to add to your holiday wardrobe.

Easing Into the Holiday Season with Anthropologie

Blog

The holiday season is officially here, and getting dressed for it doesn’t mean packing away all of your cozy Fall favorites; in fact, it’s time to mix the cozy pieces with the sparkly ones. Anthropologie’s latest looks offer a little inspiration for easing into holiday style with a mix of textures, layers, and pieces that feel just as good for everyday outings as they do for a night out.

Here are a few holiday outfit ideas to help inspire you for the season.

Sequins paired with more relaxed staples (like a statement sequin top styled with your favorite denim or satin pants) will easily add a little polish to your seasonal wardrobe, while leather shorts can get a cozy update when paired with a chunky knit sweater and sweet heels, creating a fun mix of textures that feel festive without being overly dressed up.

For those who love the classics, a maxi dress is always a good option. Layer it with a sweater or jacket, or style it with your favorite handbag and accessories to take it from a simple daytime look to something a little more special.

The secret to making holiday dressing feel effortless is all in the mix. Play with soft knits, sleek satin, leather, and a little sparkle. Add layers, experiment with unexpected pairings, and don’t be afraid to dress up a casual piece or give a dressier look a more relaxed feel.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holiday gatherings with friends, or simply looking for a few new pieces to refresh your wardrobe, Anthropologie has plenty of inspiration to get you started. Stop by to find a few new favorites to carry you into the holiday season.

Fashion & Beauty Trends to Try This Fall

Blog

Fall is a great time to have a little fun with your wardrobe and beauty routine. From rich seasonal colors and interesting textures to fresh makeup looks, this season’s trends offer plenty of ways to update your style without starting from scratch. Here are six fashion and beauty trends to try this Fall, with inspiration from some of our favorite Saddle Creek shops.

Rich, Earthy Colors
Chocolate brown, burgundy, olive and warm neutrals are making their way into Fall wardrobes. Try pairing a burgundy sweater with denim or adding a rich brown accessory to an otherwise simple outfit. Anthropologie and LOFT have plenty of seasonal style inspiration.

Denim With a Vintage Feel
Denim gets a fresh update with nostalgic washes, relaxed fits and interesting silhouettes. Madewell’s Fall collection leans into lived-in denim and vintage-inspired styling, making it easy to find a new favorite pair of jeans.

Romantic Lace and Feminine Details
Lace, delicate jewelry and soft, flowing fabrics bring a romantic touch to fall dressing. Altar’d State’s seasonal collection pairs lace with dark denim, cozy knits and fringe for outfits that work just as well for a casual afternoon as an evening out.

Statement Handbags
A great handbag can pull an entire outfit together. This season, look for chocolate brown leather, textured finishes and interesting silhouettes. Brahmin’s Fall collection offers inspiration for incorporating a rich, versatile bag into your everyday wardrobe.

NATASHA DENONA Mini Eye Sculpt Eyeshadow Palette

Warm, Smoky Eye Makeup
Fall is the perfect time to experiment with deeper eyeshadow shades (think espresso, bronze, plum and soft smoky finishes paired with a more natural complexion). Sephora has plenty of shadow palettes and products to help you try the look, whether you prefer subtle definition or something more dramatic.

Berry Brown’d Pout Lip Liner + Gloss Stick Duo

Berry Lips
A berry lip is an easy way to bring a little color into your Fall beauty routine. From sheer raspberry gloss to deeper cranberry shades, there’s an option for just about every occasion. Keep the rest of your makeup simple or pair it with a soft smoky eye for a 90s inspired look.

The best part about seasonal trends is making them your own. Whether you’re adding a new accessory, trying a different makeup look or simply finding a fresh way to style pieces you already own, a few small updates can make getting dressed this season a little more fun!

Style Sessions with Shelby Jewel Are Back for Fall

Blog

Fall is officially on the horizon, which means it’s almost time to trade in the light, flowy dresses, sandals, and shorts for boots, sweaters, scarves, and all the layers that make Fall dressing so much fun. Saddle Creek Style Sessions with Shelby Jewel are back from September 21-26 with complimentary, one-on-one styling sessions focused on helping you make the most of your Fall wardrobe.

Whether you’re ready for a seasonal refresh, interested in investing in a capsule wardrobe, need new looks for a Fall break getaway, or have always wondered what working with a personal stylist could look like, these sessions are a great place to start.

What to Expect

Start with a 10-minute virtual consultation
Before your Style Session, you’ll have a quick, 10-minute virtual consultation with Shelby to talk through your style needs and pinpoint your biggest wardrobe pain points. It’s quick, focused, and designed to help Shelby get a better idea of what you’re looking for before you shop together. A consultation with Shelby is required in order to book a Style Session.

Shelby shops for you ahead of time.
Before your complimentary two-hour session, Shelby will visit one to three Saddle Creek stores and pre-pull pieces specifically with your needs in mind. Whether you’re looking for Fall staples, a mini capsule wardrobe, or simply a few new pieces to refresh your closet, she’ll create a thoughtful starting point for your shopping experience.

Then, you shop together.
During your two hours together, Shelby will share styling tips, offer fit advice, and help you understand why a particular piece may or may not work for you. She’ll also serve as your liaison with the sales associates at each store, making the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.

Three time slots will be available each day, Monday through Friday (excluding Saturday).

The goal? To have you walk away with new styling knowledge, a little more confidence, and hopefully a few shopping bags in tow.

’90s Nostalgia for Fall at Madewell

Blog

Madewell’s Fall Collection is leaning into nostalgia this season, bringing back some of the best style references from the ’90s and early aughts with a distinctly collegiate twist. Think stripes, plaid, polo sweaters, loafers and relaxed silhouettes, mixed with unexpected color combinations that keep the collection feeling current.

It’s a combination that feels especially right for this time of year, when we’re ready to trade our Summer pieces for layers and richer textures, but aren’t quite ready for a full-on Fall wardrobe.

A few of our favorite new arrivals capture the collection’s vibe perfectly. Think wide-leg striped pants with a sleeveless sweater, a micro-striped shirtdress styled with loafers, or a plaid midi dress layered with a polo sweater tossed casually over the shoulders. The pieces have that popular ’90s feel, but the styling feels fresh, easy and modern.

These aren’t pieces that require you to fully commit to a particular aesthetic; they can easily be mixed into what you already own. Pair the wide-leg pants with sneakers, throw a cardigan over the shirtdress, or wear the plaid midi with your favorite boots once the temperatures finally catch up with the calendar.

If you’re looking to ease into Fall, Madewell’s new collection is full of pieces worth adding to the rotation.

Embracing Western Style This Fall With Tecovas

Blog

Western-inspired style is having a moment this Fall, and the good news is you don’t have to completely reinvent your wardrobe to get in on it. The trend is showing up in ways that feel surprisingly easy to wear (a great pair of cowboy boots, a leather belt, a Western-inspired hat or even a little denim and suede), and that makes Tecovas a natural fit for the trend.

While Tecovas is best known for its handcrafted Western boots, their collection extends well beyond footwear, with apparel and accessories including denim, dresses, belts, trucker hats and cowboy hats, so it’s so easy to find what you need to try out the trend.

The easiest way to incorporate a little Western influence into your Fall wardrobe is to start with one standout piece. Pair cowboy boots with your favorite straight-leg jeans and a simple sweater, or wear them with a feminine midi dress for a little contrast. A leather belt can add just enough Western detail to an otherwise classic outfit, while a trucker or cowboy hat can take a more casual look in a completely different direction.

And don’t overlook the power of texture. Suede, leather and denim naturally lend themselves to the Western aesthetic and are some of the easiest materials to layer into a Fall wardrobe. Don’t think you need to get boots, a cowboy hat and a giant belt buckle all at once. Start with a pair of cowboy boots and mix them in with the classics already in your closet, and let a little Western influence make its way into your Fall style.

Shop Tecovas in Saddle Creek to check out their latest collection of cowboy boots, hats and accessories.
