’90s Nostalgia for Fall at Madewell

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.

Fall Coastal Vibes At Vineyard Vines

Blog

Vineyard Vines is easing into Fall with a collection that feels a little more understated than their traditional coastal aesthetic. The nautical influence is still there, but this season it’s showing up in a softer way, with earthy neutrals, muted tones, natural-looking textures and classic silhouettes taking center stage.

Think denim, cream, warm browns and soft neutrals mixed with familiar Vineyard Vines staples like button-downs, sweaters, relaxed pants and easy dresses. The result is a collection that feels polished without being overly dressed, and classic without feeling predictable.

What makes these pieces especially easy to wear is their versatility. They work just as well together as they do mixed into the wardrobe you already have. A patterned blouse can be paired with denim, a classic button-down can be layered over a tank or dress, and those earthy tones and patterns on dresses will transition easily as the season changes.

When it comes to easing your wardrobe into Fall, think adding layers and key pieces rather than a complete wardrobe overhaul. Start with lighter dresses and tops, add texture through sweaters and jackets, and let your accessories do some of the seasonal work.

With Vineyard Vines’ latest arrivals, transitioning your wardrobe can be as simple as adding a few thoughtful layers and letting the colors and textures do the rest.

Neutrals With Nuance | New From Madewell

Blog

Fall fashion is all about rich textures, deeper tones, and pieces that make layering easy. Madewell’s latest collection of new arrivals is full of those effortless staples that blend comfort and polish, so they’re perfect for easing into the new season. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or just adding in a few key updates, here are a few pieces worth checking out next time you’re in the store.

If you love pieces that do the work for you, the Zip-Front Flutter-Sleeve Midi Dress is an easy win. The soft print and fluttery sleeves give it a romantic feel, while the zip-front detail keeps it modern and practical. It’s a dress that transitions seamlessly from brunch to date night, or even layered under a light jacket for cooler days.

Pair it with the Sculpted Metal Wristlet Bag (a standout accessory that adds a pop of richness), and the Remy Mary Jane Flat. The mix of textures and tones brings warmth to the look without overcomplicating it. Altogether, it’s the kind of outfit that feels put-together yet completely effortless. Add in a lightweight wool coat or denim jacket for an extra layer when it’s cool.

For something a bit more casual, Madewell’s Short Puff-Sleeve Cardigan is a cozy essential that adds just the right amount of detail. The slightly puffed sleeve gives a subtle nod to vintage style while still feeling current. Try it with the Vintage Flare Jean in rinse wash; the structured denim gives this silhouette that timeless, flattering shape Madewell is known for.

To finish the look, the Dimes Chelsea Boot adds a polished, everyday touch, and the Dakota Saddle Bag ties it all together with that effortlessly cool, lived-in vibe.

Whether you lean toward feminine florals or laid-back layers, Madewell’s latest lineup has something for every style. These pieces are versatile, well-made, and meant to be worn on repeat—exactly what Fall dressing should be.

Fall Style Guide | Corduroy Pants at Anthropologie

Blog

Fall fashion is all about texture, warmth, and pieces that can carry you through the season in style. One fabric that always makes a comeback this time of year? Corduroy. Soft, structured, and endlessly versatile, corduroy pants are the perfect foundation for your autumn wardrobe. Anthropologie’s new pre-fall arrivals showcase this classic fabric in fresh silhouettes and rich colors, making it easy to create looks that feel both on-trend and timeless.

If you’re looking to add a new pair to your wardrobe, here are two ways to style them this season.

Whimsical & Dressy

For those days when you want your outfit to feel polished yet playful, start with the Izzie Relaxed Pull-On Barrel Pants in a stunning burgundy hue. The modern barrel-leg shape feels fashion-forward, while the deep color makes them perfect for autumn evenings.

Pair them with the Layla Long-Sleeve Appliqué Mesh Blouse, a top that adds just the right touch of whimsy with its dreamy appliqué details layered over airy mesh. The contrast of soft textures against rich corduroy makes this pairing perfect for dinner plans, seasonal celebrations, or simply dressing up your day. Add platforms or heeled booties and a structured bag, and you’ve got a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Classic with a Twist

If your Fall style leans more classic but you like a bit of fun in your wardrobe, try the Rylan High-Rise Flare Jeans in a warm rust shade. Flares are a timeless cut, and this pair offers just the right mix of vintage-inspired and modern style. To balance the sleek silhouette, try them with the Niki Bubble Sweatshirt.

At first glance, it’s casual and cozy, but the bubble sleeves and playful duck motif add a dose of personality. Complete the outfit with suede boots, loafers or sneakers for an easy weekend-ready look that’s both comfortable and stylish.

Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or keeping things casual, Anthropologie’s pre-Fall collection has something for every mood and moment. Corduroy pants are the season’s must-have piece, and with silhouettes ranging from flared to barrel-leg, there’s a style for everyone.

Dresses for Every Mood at Anthropologie

Blog

Fall may be on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean you have to pack away the fun of dresses juuuust yet. Anthropologie’s latest pre-Fall arrivals prove that whether you’re leaning into playful prints or timeless, statement-making silhouettes, a great dress can take you anywhere.

This season they have so many standout styles offering very different vibes, but all bringing something special to your wardrobe. Here’s a closer look at two new favorites:

If your style leans flirty and feminine, the Puff-Sleeve Twofer Mini Dress is a must-try. With its sweet puff sleeves and whimsical horse print, this dress feels fun, fresh, and perfect for transitional dressing. The mini length makes it ideal for warmer fall days, with the elbow length sleeves adding a touch of coverage as the weather cools.

We styled it with classic loafers, ankle socks, and a slouchy crossbody bag for a modern, school-girl-inspired look that’s equal parts polished and playful. Top with a little jacket when it’s cooler and you’ve got an outfit that works for everything from brunch with friends to a day of shopping.

For those who love a look with a little more timeless elegance, the Somerset Maxi Dress: Long-Sleeve Chiffon Edition is the perfect pick. This best-selling style gets a fresh update in a stunning patchwork quilt print, bringing rich fall colors together in a way that feels both bold and timeless. The long sleeves and flowing chiffon make it a beautiful option for everything from special occasions to evenings out, while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear.

We paired it with Olive Drop Earrings and the cream Sonia Mini Slouchy Tote Bag to keep the focus on the dress’s statement print. Finish with neutral heels or ankle boots, and you’re ready to make an impression.

Whether you’re in the mood for something girly and playful or timeless and dramatic, Anthropologie has pre-Fall dresses to fit every style. Stop by to explore the full collection and find the pieces that’ll make you excited to step into the season.

Pre-Fall Must-Haves from Chico’s

Blog

As summer gives way to cooler days, it’s time to start thinking about transitional pieces that will help bridge the gap between seasons. Pre-Fall is all about layering, experimenting with textures, and building a wardrobe that feels both fresh and versatile. Chico’s new arrivals capture that spirit beautifully, with standout fabrics like suede, leather, chiffon, and tweed that bring depth and interest to your closet while staying effortlessly wearable.

Here are some of our favorite pieces to help you step into Fall in style.

If you love the ease of one-and-done dressing, Chico’s new pre-fall dresses are a perfect place to start. The Cheetah-Print Godet Dress adds instant personality with its bold print and flattering movement, making it ideal for workdays or evenings out.

For something a bit more streamlined, the Faux Suede Shirtdress is a chic option that balances softness with structure. Pair it with heels now and layer with tights and ankle boots later in the season for a look that transitions seamlessly.

Chico’s ponte pants are a customer favorite, and the Juliet Slim Full-Length Ponte Pants in cream are a must-have neutral for Fall. We styled them with the Embroidered Cotton-Blend Jacket, which adds a fun pop of color and texture to this polished look.

The result is an outfit that feels refined but still comfortable enough for everyday wear (and both pieces can be styled with so many other things in your closet).

Denim is always a Fall staple, and the Girlfriend Cropped Wide-Leg Jean is a fresh take that’s both relaxed and flattering. To soften the look, we styled them with the Floral Georgette Peasant Blouse, a breezy top that balances the denim perfectly.

Wear them alone or layer on the Faux Leather Blazer to tie it all together; the mix of textures creates a stylish contrast that feels modern and elevated.

From suede and leather to chiffon and denim, Chico’s pre-fall collection embraces the textures that define the season. Whether you’re dressing for work, weekends, or special occasions, these pieces will carry you through the changing weather with ease. Stop by to shop these new arrivals and start building a fall wardrobe you’ll love.

Must-Have | Chico’s Faux Leather Collection

Blog

No matter what your personal style is, you need a little (faux) leather in your wardrobe. Chico’s currently has a collection of buttery soft statement making pieces that are ready to take you from day to night. While it may seem crazy to think about wearing leather at the moment (hi 95 degree temps in Memphis), the official first day of Fall is just around the corner, so you don’t want to miss out on adding these stylish essentials to your closet.

There are a ton of faux leather pieces to choose from at Chico’s, but here are 3 styles that we think will be the easiest to incorporate into your wardrobe.

Faux Leather Blazer
You can never go wrong with a faux leather blazer in a classic neutral shade of black or brown. Pair with your favorite denim, or ground a lighter pair of pants with a classic tee and hills for a minimalistic, chic look.

Faux Leather Vest
An elevated 3rd piece, you can style your faux leather vest the same way you would your favorite knit cardigan. A simple long-sleeve tee layered under it makes for a classic look, or pair it with a gorgeous, abstract print blouse for an outfit that’s totally on trend.

Faux Leather Trousers
Leather pants will never go out of style, and their cropped version with a cutwork hem makes the look trendy and fashion forward.

Don’t forget the accessories! Chico’s is known for their statement making jewelry, and it compliments this collection so well!
