The sun is shining bright these days so it's time to talk eyewear. We're loving the ECO collection by boutique eyewear company MODO. All frames are made from 95% recycled materials and contain polarized lenses. The brand also plants a tree for each frame sold. To date, the company has planted more than 650,000 trees in Cameroon.
TGIF! We hope you enjoy listening to the playlist we’ve put together and hope you enjoy the first weekend of May!

This season, we’re obsessed with the color tangerine. It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s the perfect way to add a pop of color to any outfit.

Check out the pieces we currently have in-store and online, but be aware- when you wear this color, prepare to receive many admiring glances!

Every girl should have at least one maxi dress in her closet. It’s such a versatile style and it’s super easy to dress up or down, depending upon the occasion.
We love that a maxi dress can make any woman look glamorous in an instant- pair it with heels and some statement jewelry, and you’ll automatically radiate elegance.
If you’re going for more of a casual look, though, or you’re looking to hit the beach, just accessorize the maxi dress with a floppy hat, a straw bag, some flip flops, and you’ll be good to go!
Check out some of the maxi dresses, and skirts, we currently have online and in-store. Whether you prefer bold patterns or simple solids, we think you’ll find the perfect maxi dress that will allow you to look and feel your best during the upcoming summer months.

David Peck has become our go-to for luxurious, feminine pieces that offer a sublime mix of ethereal meets urban — from garden party, chic city fundraiser to beach wedding. The Houston-based designer not only incorporates sustainable fabrics, including silks and organic cotton in his collections, but he also created his own factory to ensure production quality and restore manufacturing to his beloved hometown.
It’s that time of year where all we want to wear is a cozy jumper. Ace & Jig’s version combines beachy boho with an urban edge for the wanderlust, beach babe or urban warrior.

Right: We couldn’t resist these two customers - roommates and best friends - who both fell in love with the jumper.

If you’ve been wondering how to rock the Wolverine x Samantha Pleet Arc Boot in robin’s egg blue (we certainly have), take a cue from the designer’s SS13 lookbook. The designer continues to offer up whimsical pieces in barely-there hues such as fawn and sage, which provide the perfect neutral back drop for colorful, statement accessories.
