Top It Off

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Well it’s been awhile…
I was waiting for Spring – I thought it had arrived. I turned over my wardrobe, packed away those winter coats, boots and broke out the Spring attire just in time to be completely fooled.
Wisconsin weather – 1, Me – 0.
Wishful thinking on my part. So as I sit here today watching people in the rainy cold, wrapped up in fleece and scarves and closed-toed shoes (you know I hate them) my patience is wearing thin. I don’t like in between weather – it can get really complicated for dressing. I mean, we are all Spring at Flaire and I am obviously in the Spring mindset so clearly wearing my Spring attire is at the top of my list, but when it’s too cold for flowy lightweight dresses and too warm for sweaters – what’s a girl to do?
The shop girls and I have sworn off heavy knit sweaters, tights and closed toed shoes so in an effort to showcase some Spring wears while dealing with an uncooperative climate, I am topping off my jeans with bright hues, delicate florals and animal prints. Keeping me in the Spring mindset, yet not freezing my arse off!

Animal prints are back in action for Spring/Summer in lightweight cotton silhouettes that compliment any jean like Torn by Ronny Kobo’s Lynna tunic. Or LAMB’s great leopard tunic over your favorite mini. Or the Brooke Top that pairs perfect with leggings. Get on the hunt.
Florals are everywhere and why not – what says Spring better than flowers?! Small delicate combinations or bold vibrant clusters – whatever your favorite flower is, there is an option for you. Breezy bohemian tunics from Nicole Richie’s Winter Kate line, Easy swing tops from Torn by Ronny Kobo or the ever popular BB Dakota line has a plethora of styles to choose from.
With Spring comes color and brights are always big. Patterns, Solids, Prints – you can find them anywhere. My favorite is BB Dakota’s feather tank – but if you prefer solids, Fifteen-Twenty creates some beautiful styles in a variety of bright vivid colors. Guys can do color too! Canterbury of New Zealand always does great plaid shirts and Just A Cheap Shirt (new and now in stock) – they do color right.   If you want a certain shade, they have a shirt with it! Stand out this Spring!

Stop in soon and find something to top off your look.

Four More Weeks…

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

As we hit the four-week point in our countdown to Spring, I find myself sitting with my back to all the windows at the store today just to avoid even watching the snowflakes fall. I refuse to let winter win this one.

Spring is arriving at Flaire! With new arrivals this week from Isabel Lu, Torn by Ronny Kobo, Tolani Scarves and Dex – to name a few, it’s definitely getting brighter in my world. I am loving how unusual the details are from the ever popular zipper trims to the soft floral prints to the dusting of sequins in just the right places – Spring is standing out!

Speaking of standing out, one celebrity designer that has always stood out with her collection for the quirky details and edgy silhouettes is Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. – which will arrive at Flaire before the month is over.

The L.A.M.B. collection has grown to include clothing, accessories, footwear and fragrance. Gwen’s line is truly a reflection of her personality and what I like is that she actually wears her designs – and not just sometimes. Most of the time when you see photographs of her in the magazines and even on television she is always true to her brand and while her style may be a little on the wild side for some, her collection really can work for anyone.

As a presenter at New York Fashion Week since 2006, Gwen’s L.A.M.B. (which stands for Love Angel Music Baby) is a true contemporary collection with eclectic, edgy and feminine details all in one brand. Her Spring 2010 collection is full of vibrant colors, asymmetrical lines, exposed zippers and flattering ruching that work for any one’s style.

Check out some of the styles from L.A.M.B.’s Spring 2010 Runway Show. Coming soon to Flaire.
