BIG NEWS!

Size and Fit

I took an unofficial twitter poll last week (thanks to all of you for responding!) asking "Do you always wear the same size?" The results were much as I expected: a unanimous "no". One Twitter friend told us that she has from size 2 through 16 in her closet! Another told us that she has all different sizes in her closet and that it depends on the fit, the piece, and the look that she's going for.

I always suggest to customers who eye a piece that we don't have "their" size to give it a try anyway. Fit depends so much on the cut of the item and how you want to wear it. If it's a dress that's a bit to big in the waist, but you love the print and price, a belt might be a simple solution for a better fit. If the small is just a bit too short, the medium might give you just enough extra length without being too big on top. I'm not advocating wearing clothes that don't fit well, just encouraging an open mind when it comes to the number on the label. Sometimes the only way that you really know how something will look is to give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised!

MIA Sierra Suede Sandal!

Trend We Love: Stripes!

Tulle $48, Flying Tomato $36, Tulle $50

Everything that I've bought in the past few weeks has been striped. A few cardigans (the cute ones above are available at Jupe), a couple of tee's, and even a skirt. I've tried to stop, but stripes just seem so classic, clean , and fresh for summer. They seem to go with anything and everything that I own and are great for layering. My striped cardigans have taken all of the guesswork out of mixing prints. My secret is just to pair the stripes with a pattern in a similar color family. I'll be combining my favorite floral skirts with breezy striped tee's and cardigans for the perfect (updated) summer uniform! I love when I can breath a little new life into old favorites with something as simple as a new tee.

Cleopatra Statement Necklace!

If you are looking for an accessory that has a real "wow" factor, Jupe's Cleopatra Statement Necklace is for you! Being a piece that the Egyptian goddess herself definitely would have donned, this gem of a necklace can turn any outfit from blah to brilliant in mere seconds!
