Elevated Essentials With Madewell

Blog

Heading into Spring is one of the hardest times to get dressed, especially in Memphis. The weather is very chaotic (it may 70 degrees today, but 30 degrees tomorrow), so your best option is to reach for pieces that are transitional. Light layers in breathable fabrics are a must, and with Spring being only a few days a way, you can reach for brighter colors and patterns that will play nicely with your neutrals. Madewell currently has a great collection in store, featuring pieces that are must-haves right now.

Madewell’s 2023 Spring collection is both elevated and effortless, with key styles that will easily refresh your wardrobe. Here’s a highlight of some of the pieces that will be your go-tos.

The Harlow Wide-Leg Pant

Made of a drapey TENCEL™ lyocell and linen blend, these straight-leg pants have sailor-inspired button tabs at the waist.

V-Neck Sweater Tank

Cropped with an on-body fit, this V-neck sweater tank is easy to throw on and goes with any style jean or pant.

Puff-Sleeve Open-Back Midi Dress

Voluminous puff sleeves, ruffly tiers and a sexy tie-back cutout make it so special.

The Piazza Mini Crossbody Bag

With a cinchable drawstring, magnetic closure and an adjustable (and removable) shoulder strap, this mini crossbody can hold all the essentials.

Kacie Mini Shirtdress

A modern take on the retro shirtdress, this pretty mini dress features an open notched collar, flowy flutter sleeves and buttons down the front.

The Medium Transport Tote: Woven Leather Edition

2 ways to carry: with the top handles or the detachable shoulder strap.

The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean: Button Fly Edition

These cropped jeans combine the high fitted waist people love with slouchy wide legs (and a supercute stacked button fly).

The Signature Poplin Oversized Shirt

This button-up shirt has an oversized fit for a more relaxed vibe.

So many chic new styles to choose from! Madewell is always getting in new products, so pop in soon to see what’s new!

Timeless Classics At Vineyard Vines

Blog

Vineyard Vines, the iconic brand with the tiny smiling whale logo, is now open in The Shops of Saddle Creek!

Founded by brothers Shep & Ian Murray in 1998, Vineyard Vines has always been a brand that strives to bring you and your families “every day should feel this good” moments.

Famous for its smiling pink whale and whimsical ties, they create a wide range of clothes and accessories for the Good Life, from polos and tees to performance gear and Shep Shirts for men, women and kids.

If you love that cool, quintessentially preppy style (think polo shirts, cashmere sweaters, classic denim silhouettes, pleated skirts, and other coastal inspired styles) this is the store for you.

The pieces are timeless, but they also carry trendier, bolder prints in traditional silhouettes in the Spring and Summer. If you can picture yourself vacationing and boating at Martha’s Vineyard, that classic aesthetic is spot on.

It’s always exciting when a new store comes into the market, and Vineyard Vines fits in perfectly at Saddle Creek. Happy Shopping!

Winter Wardrobe Essentials From Evereve

Blog

Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean we have to throw caution to the wind and look frumpy when it comes to your style. You can still look good while braving the elements, honey! Evereve is known for being on with their styles each season, so I wanted to highlight a few winter wardrobe essentials from their store. Besides, living in the Mid-south DOES have some benefits when it comes to fashion: because our weather can be a bit um, chaotic during the traditional Winter months, you don’t have to stay completely bundled up until Spring. Temps range anywhere from the low 30s to the high 60s, so some days, all you’ll need is a light jacket to layer over your outfit.

If you’re looking to do a little update right now and interested in some “transitional pieces”, here are a few Winter wardrobe essentials (and style tips) from Evereve.

Winter White Blazer

Blazers will forever be a wardrobe staple, but this Winter white version is perfect for adding a little extra chicness to your look. Pair with a cropped denim in a similar share for a cool monochromatic look. It also has a hoodie for a touch of sportiness!

Faux Fur Bomber Jacket

A basic bomber is cool, but what about a cozy-chic update with this faux fur style? It pairs wonderfully with skinny denim (yes, skinny denim is here to STAY, regardless of what TikTok may try to tell you), and will really elevate any look that you pair with it.

Floral Kimono/Wrap

For all of my bohemian girls, this floral piece is for you. Yes, it’s Winter, but you can still rock a kimono right now. The boho-chic style is flattering on EVERYONE, and will give you a Penny-Lane look when paired with denim. This will also work layered over a jumpsuit for a more global look.

Textured Caro Joggers + Blouse

Joggers are a clutch wardrobe staple when you need to be dressed up a bit but don’t want to wear a traditional trouser pant or a dress. The key is to pair them with a drapey, dressier blouse, so why not go for a monochromatic look when you do?

Evereve is a contemporary, curated boutique for on-trend fashion that complements women’s busy lifestyles. Their in-store stylists focus on helping you find the perfect pieces that fit your personal style. Stop in to see what’s new (and what you need for your closet)!

Must-Try Fall Trends with Madewell

Blog

When I think of Fall, there are certain sartorial trends that will always come to mind: cozy knits, easy denim, and a touch of leather (amongst other things). Yes, we all have our own unique personal style, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that there are certain pieces/trends that should make its way into our wardrobes when the temps begin to cool.

Madewell’s current Fall collection is full of those quintessential pieces to add in, so if you were looking for a little style inspo, here are some of the must-try Fall trends.

Houndstooth Boyfriend Blazer
One can never have too many blazers, and a relaxed-fit, houndstooth blazer is a perfect layering piece to add in for Fall. Pair it with your favorite distressed denim to dress them up a bit, or give your corporate trousers a more “cool girl” fit by wearing it over an easy tank and finishing the look with chunky loafers.

Plaid Skirt
Skirts are alway fun, and this hunter green color screams Fall. Wear with a chunky turtleneck sweater and ankle booties for a classic Fall look, or pair with tights and a leather jacket for a style that’s a little more mod. If you want to dress it down and keep it super casual, wear it with a denim jacket/button down or sweatshirt and sneakers.

Chunky Knit Sweater
Is it really Fall if you don’t wear a chunky knit sweater at some point? You honestly can never have too many because they literally go with everything, but if nothing else, add in an off white/cream color to wear with all of your minimalistic pieces.

A touch of leather
Whether it’s a classic moto jacket or a pair of leather trousers, you need a strong leather piece to add a bit of edge to any outfit. Moto jackets go with everything, and leather trousers can be dressed up or down depending on how you style them.

Don’t forget your beanie!

Easy Flannel
Flannel is another Fall staple, but not all style are created the same. Go for a more soft, neutral color palette to avoid looking like a lumberjack, and use it as a layering piece over your favorite pair of denim on days when it’s still a little cool out.

Classic Accessories
Gold hoops and layering necklaces will NEVER go out of style, and you will always need a pair of neutral/tan colored leather booties to wear with all of your skirts, denim, and maxi dresses.

Fall is such a fun season for style expression, and Madewell is constantly getting in new products, so pop in to see what’s new!
