Beach blankets baby

The warm weather is here!  Now if only we could get two sunny days in a row, we could all enjoy a little beach time.  This is a wrap from Thomas Paul that I took with me on my recent trip to Miami.  It's so versatile - beach blanket, sarong, shawl, wall hanging, bedspread...you get the idea.  We have a lot of great prints to choose from:  nautical flags, tall ships, elephants, giraffe, swallows, cheetah...

Summer time blues

James Jeans was featured in a recent issue of InStyle magazine.  We just this style in and I'm dying for the Cameron wash.  I can see wearing them all summer with platform wedges and into the fall with boots.  We also have in a lot of cropped tops that will pair nicely with them.

They all leave at some point...

Erica and Kait
This past weekend was the University of Vermont's graduation, a bitter sweet time of year.  Our lovely Kait has graduated and will be leaving Burlington.  We will miss her warm smile and easy laugh.  Best of luck to you! xoxo

The Clothes Exchange

I went to the volunteer training session for The Clothes Exchange last week.  I am now an official representative of the organization!  I'm very proud of my small part and I'm excited to be a personal shopper for such a worthy cause.  


The event has 166 volunteers this year and the proceeds benefit Spectrum Youth & Family Services, as well as the recipients from the past 10 years.   


There are a limited amount of shop first tickets left but the Thursday night session will be just as great.  They suggest buying your ticket in advance, you'll get in faster.  The event is at the Sheraton this year which is double the size of last years space!  Don't forget to get your raffle tickets too - amazing prizes.

What are you currently obsessed with?  I'm looking for the perfect pair of fitted white shorts and basic wedges that I can wear for 8 hours...

The Clothes Exchange

The Clothes Exchange is right around the corner!  Last week we participated in a give and get program.  We asked our customers to bring in one gently worn item and in return, they got a 20% off coupon, good for the month of April.  We had many generous donations - two boxes worth!  Thank you to the generous donors.


Tonight is a benefit night at The Bluebird Tavern, one of my personal favorite places to eat.  Stop by, bring something to donate, have a drink, have some great food and hang out with your fellow Clothes Exchange supporters.  A portion of the sales tonight will go to the cause.




This year is also the tenth anniversary of the program!  Spectrum Youth and Family Services was chosen to be the beneficiary but they will also be giving a portion of the proceeds to the previous beneficiaries.  Paying it forward.

Video from the final night

They finally posted a video from the Charleston Fashion Week final night.  Click here.  Charlotte is planning on coming to Burlington to share her collection with us.  I think she may be leaving with one less accessory!
