severely striped

If you've been in the shops lately, you will clearly see my newest obsession...STRIPES! Oh my, I love them. Ditch the old rules you've grown up with about stripes and be bold. A sampling is pictured below, go to shopgigis.com for full item info and availability. Happy Shopping :)

summer sale

Surprise! Summer Sale starts TODAY :) We've got everything marked and ready for tax free weekend (here in NC, tax free weekend is Aug 6-8).
Happy Shopping!

quick lesson

As we transition into some fall merchandise while temps are still in the upper 90's, I thought I'd share a few quick examples of how layering can be your new bff. It is a great tool for getting more wear out of your wardrobe all year round. It satisfies your need to shop now and still carry over your pieces to cooler temps in the fall.

summer look: denim dress + accessories
fall look: denim dress + long sleeve tee, leggings & scarf

summer look: racerback tank + shorts & accessories

fall look: racerback tank + skinny jeans, long sleeve tee & scarf

inspiration board

A friend of mine that lives in NYC started a blog recently, oh my it is wonderful. She has great style and I am often inspired by her posts. Check it out at http://www.inspiringesby.com/.

To come this week...new arrivals, lesson in layering and a surprise :)
