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.

Five Weeks to go. . .

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

So we are at the five-week mark and after this week’s snow, my optimism is subsiding. The only thing keeping me focused are the new deliveries on their way to Flaire.

This week we are offering a preview into the inaugural season of Voodoo Guru – I know, the name threw me at first, but once explained it makes sense.

Voodoo – means to place under the influence.  Guru - means to turn darkness into light.

Therefore, the creators view Voodoo Guru as the collection that sheds light on the men’s contemporary fashion scene because it’s not only an innovative collection, but one that’s easy to understand. Some of these “trends” are so extreme that it’s refreshing to have a collection that focuses on clothing you can wear. The pieces are not intimidating, but still edgy.

Men’s fashion can become repetitive and while some designers go to the extreme to stand out, Voodoo Guru does so with bright fabrics and modern fits. Inspired by music icons, vintage military and the creator’s American roots, Voodoo Guru fabrics are soft and comfortable and their styles are easy and wearable.

Mentioned as one of the Top 10 for this year’s shows, Voodoo Guru is getting some attention!
