Tap Into Neutrals with Fabletics

Blog

Now that Fabletics is open in The Shops of Saddle Creek, you have more stylish options to choose from when it comes to your active wear.

Fabletics is known for their Subscription/Membership Program, but now customers can find fits in person. Their new Women’s Animal Print Collection features both leopard and creamy neutral styles that can be mixed and matched together to create a ton of fun, stylish looks. Leopard will always be a neutral in my book, so don’t be afraid to add them in!

While their men’s collection isn’t as “wild” it’s still filled with must-have shorts, tees, tanks, and other accessories.

Fabletics‘ premium styles fuse the latest advances in performance technology with an on-trend fashion-for ward look, so whether you’re ready to walk on the side with your active wear style or keep it super casual and neutral, you’ll always be able to find something in store (they are size inclusive and go up to a 4x for women and 2x for men).

BONUS: Our Fabletics location has a “spooky” (and FREE) event coming up this month! Join them (in costume) on Sunday the 16th from 11AM – 12PM for a special, spooky October themed yoga event featuring the fabulous yoga instructor Katy Stanfield. After class, there will be a creepy, BOOzy brunch and a private shopping event with a HUGE discount for class participants! ***BOOzy brunch offered to participants 21+ , but non-alcoholic options will be provided as well!

Summer Essentials with Madewell

Blog

While everyone has their own personal style, there are still pieces that people will stock their wardrobe with and reach for every season. Summer is known for its easy, breezy classics, and Madewell is a great place to find pieces that are classic, yet still on trend for the season.

We have a few more weeks of Summer remaining, so if you’re in need of a few wardrobe refreshers, here are a few Summer essentials that you should consider picking up from Madewell.

Dresses
Keeping cool during the Summer is a MUST, so obviously dresses should be on your wardrobe list. Because we are in a transitional period, however, I’d advise picking out dresses in darker prints, neutrals and more muted tones vs. super bright colors so that you can easily transition them into the Fall. Pair now with your favorite sandals, then switch over to ankle booties and layer a white or denim jacket over it.

Flare Denim
While flare denim is usually reserved for Fall outfits, now’s the perfect time to add a pair to your wardrobe. Pair them with an easy, retro style tee and sandals for now, and then swap those out for booties and a flowy, boho style blouse.

Leather handbags
In addition to jewelry, find a fun, leather handbag that you can wear everyday. Cognac and beige are great neutrals, but don’t be afraid to try a fun color as well.

White Denim
White denim that fits great, has a little bit of stretch without being tight and is not too thin is hard to find, but Madewell’s Perfect Vintage Jean is amazing. The premium denim also has a tapered leg, which makes it a perfect length for both flats and heels. Paired with a laidback, popover blouse in a punchy color is Summertime perfection.

Denim Shorts
You can’t go wrong with a pair of denim shorts in a classic light or medium wash. These will be shorts that you live in and can pair with just about anything.

There’s so much that you can still add to your wardrobe this Summer, and Madewell has you covered with the classics!

Summer Capsule Wardrobe with J. Jill

Blog

Warmer temps are here, which means it’s time to get your Summer wardrobe together! How do we do this? By investing in a handful of foundational pieces that you can mix and match together with other pieces that you already own in your closet.

Building a capsule wardrobe (vs. just buying a ton of new clothes) will allow you to have pieces that you can throw on at any time throughout the season, so you will always feel chic and put together. J. Jill is known for their versatile pieces, so if you’re ready to make a Summer Capsule Wardrobe, here are a few pieces that I’d recommend.

Gauzy Button-Up Tunic
One can never have too many button-ups, and the textured gauzy feel of this button up makes it perfect for Summer. Wear with your favorite denim (a white cropped white pair is a must!), or make it do double-duty as a cover-up for the beach.

Cropped Denim
Jeans have always been a Summer staple, and it’s something that won’t ever change! You can wear them almost everywhere, so it’s best to find a pair that’s comfy but still flattering, that works with both heels and flats, and are a medium wash. Pair with cute blouses, or a linen dolman tee and patterned kimono for a look that can take you from brunch to a night out with friends.

A-Line Shirt Dress
Having a go-to dress that you can easily dress up or down is a must-have for Summer, and this super soft shirt dress is perfect for that. The collar gives it structure, and the button-hem detail makes it different from the rest. Bonus? It has pockets!

Maxi Skirt
Not really into jeans or shorts? Try a maxi skirt instead. They will still offer a lot of versatility in styling, but will also keep things comfy as well. Our favorite way to style is with a matching blouse (if available); just add a cool belt to help break things up!

When building your capsule wardrobe, think about the color palette that you want to work with so that you can invest in pieces that work really well together. It will make getting dressed so much easier!

What To Wear | Bold Summer Style with J. Crew

Blog

In my (style) book, Summer style = bold colors and patterns, so what better way to inject a little “dopamine” style into your wardrobe than with J. Crew’s latest Summer drop. Neutrals are fun and closet staples, but Summertime style begs for bolder choices.

Have an event-filled Summer? Check out these bold Summer styles from J. Crew and add them to your wardrobe!

Tiered Maxi Dress in Paint Block Print

This pretty maxi dress is full of special details, from the easy tiers to the keyhole neckline, all in a super-soft yet sleek fabric.

Harbour Side-Cutout Dress in Painted Block Print

Cool cutouts at the side, sweet ties at the shoulders and a midi length make this number perfect for all your Summer plans.

Squareneck Puff-Sleeve Top in Bouquet Block Print

A few reasons to love this easy pop-on blouse: the face-framing squareneck, the comfy smocking and the subtle puff sleeves.

Stretch Chino Short

Take all your vacation/spring/summer outfits to the next level with these shorts. Available in 3 different inseams!

V-Neck Gathered Linen Camisole + Stretch Chino Short

The ultimate pick for warm weather, pair this fun camisole with all of your high-waisted bottoms and shorts for an easy outfit.

Don’t forget to add statement making jewelry to the mix. While J.Crew is known for their classic pieces, they’ve added in some really fun statement earrings like the white cotton raffia-wrapped chain earrings that Yamile is wearing, and the pink rectangle cotton raffia-wrapped earrings that Laura is wearing. Both styles are so on trend right now, but you will be able to wear them for many Summer seasons to come!

The colorful, print filled collection is so fun and playful, which is always a sartorial treat when it comes to getting dressed!

Trend To Try | Summer Blazers with Madewell

Blog

Looking for a laidback, more relaxed Summer style vibe that’s a step above your favorite tee and jeans? Try topping your next look with a Summer Blazer. Blazers are a wardrobe staple for most people, but for Summer, the must-have styles are slightly oversized and in a lightweight fabrications like cotton and linen. While they can most certainly be worn to work, this isn’t a stuffy, corporate style blazer.

Madewell is known for its effortless aesthetic, so it only makes sense that they’d create a blazer that works perfectly for all of your Summer looks. Styled with cute shorts and a breezy tee or crop top, you can go girly with your look by finishing up your outfit with wedge sandals, or keep it minimalistic and casually cool with flat sandals and gold jewelry.

No matter what your personal style may be, jumping on the blazer trend this season will help you to create some incredibly chic looks.

3 Ways To Inject More Color Into Your Spring Wardrobe

Blog

Spring has officially begun, which means it’s time to refresh your wardrobe for the season. While neutrals will always be great for foundational pieces, the lighter feeling of Spring invites us to inject a little more color into our style. Punches of both neon and creamsicle shades will be go-tos this season, and Banana Republic has a new collection of Spring Essentials that are perfect for right now. Paired with fun handbags from Michael Kors and Brahmin, you’re sure to create a look that’s guaranteed to elevate your mood all season long. Ready to punch things up? Here are 3 easy ways to inject more color into your Spring wardrobe.

Gauzy Knits

Cooler temps haven’t completely left us yet, so gauzy knit sweaters are still a must for those days when you need to cut through the chill. This pretty sunbeam color is an instant mood booster, and will pair well with all of your favorite denim or neutral trousers.

The complimentary hues from this Brahmin Satchel tie it all together without overpowering your look.

Feathered Frocks

Florals for Spring won’t ever be groundbreaking, but what about a novelty bird print? A prettily patterned dress in a sweet hue is a must for the 2022 Spring season, and this one is versatile enough to be styled with heels, booties, and sneakers.

A dreamsicle colored Michael Kors Tote and classic mirrored aviators keep the focus on the dress while enhancing the overall fit.

Boldly Hued Handbags

For some, neutral outfits will be the way to go, but you can still add a little more color into your wardrobe via your accessories.

A classic Michael Kors shoulder bag in a bold wild berry color is an easy way to make a chic statement.

So many colors to try, so little time!
