New Nic & Zoe!

One of my (and your, based on the great response we get to the product) favorite lines has just arrived! We have four new pieces from Nic & Zoe, designed by the fabulous Dorian Lightbown. Bright color and unique prints characterize these great new arrivals. My favorite is the silk-and-cotton Brushstrokes dress. The light flowy fabric means it would look fantastic now under a black cardigan with black heels and black tights, or with the mesh cardigan in turquoise and strappy black or nude sandals for spring. The full skirt and belted waist make this a flattering and fun silhouette.
I’m also loving the Blue Leaves cardigan. The bold turquoise and brown leaf print is subdued enough for winter’s wardrobe, but would look great with the Also Perfect tank in turquoise for a bright pop of springy color. With nicely tailored brown pants or a cream pencil skirt, this cardigan can spice up a variety of looks.

Plus, be sure to check out the rest of the Nic and Zoe line for great deals and hot styles.

Coping with the Cold

Temps are supposed to hover somewhere between frigid and miserable for the rest of the week. That's great news if you love the look of hat hair and chapped skin, but not so nice for the rest of us. At least we have some great sale coats to help ease your pain! This tweed coat from Nicole Benisti is my absolute favorite cold-weather piece right now. The giant houndstooth pattern spices up a basic silhouette and color scheme, while the belt keeps it from being too bulky. It has a long hem, perfect for keeping out the chill. Accessorize with a bright hat, scarf, and gloves in your favorite hue, and you'll own the look.

Twill 22 Corduroy Jeans

Everyone loves a sale, so I'm going to show off a few more of our sale merchandise this week. First up, baby-wale corduroy jeans in navy from Twill 22. They're soft, stretchy, and oh-so-comfortable, almost like a second skin. I love them for work with nude heels, a white button-down top, and bright accent scarf. You'll be polished and professional. They would be great for the weekend with brown flats and a white tank under a cozy brown sweater. I think I'm in love.

Shimmer and Shake

Shimmy and Shake

I'm loving this dress by Rojas right now. It's one of the newer pieces in our clearance section, and I think it's perfect for dancing the night away! It has a loose silhouette to flatter most body types; a light flowy fabric, made even more fun by the extreme shimmer and the pleats, and a high neckline so it's not too revealing. It would be gorgeous right now with a sheer black tights and ankle booties, or in summer with strappy metallic sandals. Click on the picture for more details.

Starting Saturday, January 10, take an additional 20% off all clearance merchandise online with code EXTRA20. Start shopping now, and save big on all your favorite designers.

Snow Day

Many of us living here in the midwest woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow on the ground. Though it's a beautiful sight, it's a huge hassle to deal with. Now is the time for a super comfy and practical outfit. My go-to is a tunic with leggings or skinny jeans tucked into waterproof boots. It's the perfect winter look- warm, cute, and with rubber or leather flat boots, your feet stay dry!

Check out Mac & Jac's quilted tunic, on clearance now. Stop by The Clothes Gallery for the best customer service on the web.

It is summer yet?

I just found a few great pairs of flip flops from Douglas Paquette in the sale section, and now I'm dreaming of walking down a sandy beach on a hot summer day.

Reality check: it's 26 degrees and we're expecting a few inches of snow today. Yay.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorites right now. Click on the photo for a link to them directly on the site, or click the sale button above to see all our winter sale merchandise.
