Falling For Floral!

Just in for Spring...

J Brand Mini Floral Print Cropped Skinnies!!

Okay, here are the top 5 reasons why these are the greatest pants ever... seriously, ever!!

1. Floral is the new basic! Forget blue denim as a neutral, floral (especially our black & beige J Brands) pairs well with anything! Don't know how to wear prints - you aren't alone here, I am a strict monochromatic and proud of it- grab any print in your closet, put it with the floral, and BAM! suddenly strangers will be asking you to style them.

2. The small floral print, and any print denim, makes your legs look really tiny! No more agonizing over how thin or wide your legs look, put these on and the pattern tricks and distracts the eye to morph your body into a svelte, lean model!

3. Any and all ages look great in this pant! Not to mention, this is the perfect- and easiest - way for our older ladies, or our friends who feel a tad out of the fashion loop, to instantly look on trend. I mean, look how Katie Holmes rocks the floral pant...

4. Celebrities new and old are loving this pant, and cannot get enough of any floral pant! We absolutely love Amanda Seyfried in the J Brand floral skinnies.

5. It's the EASIEST pant to style!

One. Love.

Pay It Forward..

Pay It Forward. Makes you think of that movie doesn't it? Well, there is a new generation of "pay it forward" and it involves something as simple as shopping!

Ever/ After, the new line picked up by Scarpe, not only makes heavenly basics for children ages 0-6, but with every purchase YOU actually have the power to choose which charity 25% of the garment's proceeds go to. Instead of just trusting our word that you made a difference in a child's life by purchasing an adorable bubble skirt for your 6 year old, you scratch off a verification code that comes attached to the tag of the item - think scratch off lottery ticket- go to www.everafterclothing.com to input that verification number and you can choose exactly how you want to change a life today.

Okay, before I continue, you must know that when we first laid eyes on this line, we were begging for these items to come in adult sizes- luckily Ever/After has heard this many times before and they actually make some of these pieces in teen and adult sizes! Thank the Lord, because the cotton leggings seriously feel like a cashmere-silk blend and the terrycloth is beyond anything that we have ever felt. Remember the Juicy Couture terrycloth jumpsuit phase, yeah, the Ever/After terrycloth pullover and hoodies put Juicy to shame!

For the babies: We have V-Neck Onsies, Cargo Pants, Leggings, Thermal Long Sleeve Shirts, Ribbed Tanks and T-Shirts.

For the big kids: Bubble Skirts, Leggings, Sheatshirts, Pullovers, Tanks, Tank Dresses and Various Tees!

We will sell out before we even get it up on the web, so call us at 970.728.1513 to reserve your items now!

It's a leather extravaganza!

Step aside un-dyed, drab leather because spring colored leather is taking center stage and stealing the show! California design house, 49 Sq. Mi. captured our hearts years ago with their wallets of all shapes and sizes, and now we feel our hearts pitter-pattering to a new beat with the vibrant spring series.

Shop 49.Sq. Mi. here!

We have spanned the globe for the best items, and Jenny has edited the spring/ summer collections more thoroughly than you can imagine; we can certainly see the pay off of only picking the best of the best in each collection, as the new merchandise arrives.

Spring Trends at Scarpe

With only 3 weeks until Spring officially surfaces, Scarpe is having a major case of Spring Fever!

Recently we have gotten flooded with handfuls of linen basics by Hartford and Vince, stunning organic dresses from Rogan, and sandals from CocoBelle that will revive any foot feeling the winter blues! One trend that cannot easily be ignored for Spring, is the homage to Annie Hall, Dietrich, and Hepburn with a modern take on menswear inspired fashion.

Lately Hollywood has completely gone retro. Call it lack of original ideas or educating the younger generations about values and class, but I think the Retro Virus is contagious because, well hello..look at these leading ladies! During a time where ladylike demure was put on a pedestal and showing skin was bolding wearing ankle baring capris and a drop back cowl dress. For a moment, let us come together and throw out the midriff baring crop tops and Lindsay Lohan micro-mini dresses to appreciate the daring courage and modest approach of vintage dress.

 Nili Lotan does a stunning job balancing the demure allure of a woman's body and adding a dash of men's structure and roughness. Nili Lotan's NL One Pocket Button-down is structured from the most luxurious linen that I have ever touched, and the fit is one of a kind. Pair this top with one of the accessories below, like the Dolce Vita bootie (superb for those narrow feet fellas out there) and the MS. by Martine Sitbon envelope clutch, to complete the outfit.

Nili Lotan Top,$260;MS. by Martine Sitbon Clutch,$250; Dolce Vita Booties,$218

  

Felling the dark-tone blues? Get the look with warmer colors and a variety of textures with this ensemble! The Nili Lotan linen Boyfriend Blazer adds masculine undertones, with ease. Layer this piece over shorts and a summer sweater or unbutton it and don this Vince Silk Blouse under it. The blouse is surprisingly opaque while still being a silky smooth lightweight silk. Casual enough to wear to dinner yet completely work appropriate, this Vince blouse is shockingly transitional. Once you add these Camel Cropped Skinny jeans from Vince to the mix you automatically receive praise for rocking this bold organic tone, as well as a complete "Borrowed From The Boys" look that would make Cindy Crawford jealous.
