Timeless Classics At Vineyard Vines

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!

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!

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).

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!
