      <![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>S E A M L E S S TRANSITION</strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Get it? Seam-less transitioning...fabric...clothing...no? Ugh, retail humor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">We want to eliminate that fear of, "Will I ever wear this again?" So, we're going to talk about wearing some of our summer faves in the fall. You would be surprised how many pieces in your closet can be transitioned into the fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>O V E R A L L S </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">One of our personal fave trends is quite possibly the easiest piece to wear multiple different ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">This fall/winter 2018, throw a sweater underneath of your overalls. Even a balloon or bell sleeve can add a little flare to your casual overalls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Going for a boho look? Pair your overalls with an ankle length cardigan, and flat mules.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">__________</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Want to edge it up this fall? Pair with your fave band tee, flannel jacket, and Doc Martens!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Fear not, 90's babies! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Take your denim skirts into the cooler weather, by adding a sweater and suede booties. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Oh, you thought tights went out? Try pairing them with a blacked out NYC chic look. You'll practically turn heads in this denim skirt outfit.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Are you unsure if you can pull off the polka dot look or if its too retro for you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">We're about to sound like Nike, but JUST DO IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Harper's BAZAAR Magazine wrote an article a couple months ago on spotting out (no pun intended) polka dots as a S/S18 trend. We quickly jumped on board by chasing our vendors down to find some of the cutest pieces!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The featured pant has been one of our fave pieces so far, because you can dress it up with heels OR keep it casual with your band tee and flatform sandals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Feeling like living a little on the edge?</div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">

<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">Mix your patterns, like our inspo obsessed blogger Jo and Kemp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">We would LOVE to see how you've style your fave polka dot pieces from here. Just tag us @heartswoon</div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">Still don't believe us?</div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">Head on over to <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/trends/g4359/polka-dot-fashion-1114/">Harper's BAZAAR</a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;">to read for yourself.</div>

<p> </p>
<h2>Weekend Brunch</h2>

<p> </p>
<h2>Walk around the Outlets</h2>
<h3><em>Shopping for clothes you like while wearing clothes you love</em></h3>
<p><em>Walk around the mall or the outlets in our perfectly ripped gray denim and one of our off-the-shoulder sweater tops! Pair with suede or velvet boots for a complete 10 out of 10.</em></p>
<p><em><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog4_large.jpg?v=1509945236" alt="" width="210" height="316">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog5_large.jpg?v=1509945531" alt="" width="210" height="315"></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<h2><em>Wedding Season</em></h2>

<p><em>Single shade, form-fitting dresses are your lifesavers these days!</em></p>

<p> </p>
<h2>Concert</h2>
<h3><em>Work so hard forgot how to vacation</em></h3>
<p><em>You find out that your favorite music is coming to a city near you- Take a night for yourself! Do something fun with your friends! Dress your best and take 5,000 pictures. Am I right?</em></p>
<p><em><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog11_large.jpg?v=1509946651" alt="" width="204" height="306">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog12_large.jpg?v=1509946659" alt="" width="204" height="307"></em></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><em>Coffee Shop Hangs</em></h2>
<h3><em>Study, Read, Blog, get some extra work done!</em></h3>
<p><em>Get busy, or get creative. Coffee shops are great for motivation and atmosphere. Look cute  while you're sitting there being productive, because lets be real, you never know who could walk in.</em></p>
<p><em><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog15_large.jpg?v=1509947195" alt="" width="202" height="303">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/blog13_large.jpg?v=1509947217" alt="" width="202" height="303"></em></p>

      <![CDATA[<h4>Fall 2017 Trends can be hard to really pin down. So much is coming back into style, and a lot of things in your closet can be thrown out! We have a lot of new arrivals in store weekly, and we want to tell you how to stay on top of your game this season! Here are some of the big trends to look for this fall:</h4>
<h2><strong>Velvet:</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Okay, so maybe you cut red velvet cake out of your diet, but red velvet <em>anything</em> can be added to your wardrobe- <em>that is, all velvet in general.</em> Shoes, jackets, dresses... velvet is claiming the top spot.</strong></h3>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv4_large.png?v=1508729897" alt="" width="176" height="265">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv2_large.png?v=1508729888" alt="" width="178" height="266">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv_large.png?v=1508729876" alt="" width="177" height="266"></p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv6_large.png?v=1508729903" alt="" width="170" height="256">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv7_large.png?v=1508729917" alt="" width="171" height="256">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velv5_large.png?v=1508729910" alt="" width="191" height="254"></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Off-The-Shoulder.. (<em>In the closet!)</em>
</h2>
<h3>Shoulders deserve to be shown off, and that's what everyone is doing at the moment! These are some of our favorite pieces showcasing this trend oh-so-perfectly. Flash that collarbone, cutie!</h3>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/shoulder_large.png?v=1508730984" alt="" width="161" height="242">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/shoulder2_large.png?v=1508730990" alt="" width="160" height="241">  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/shoulder3_large.png?v=1508730999" alt="" width="180" height="242"></span></p>
<h2>Bell Sleeves:</h2>
<h3>We love this dramatic sleeve, as it is no secret the general population loves to take everything to the next level. We like to do things for dramatic effect anyway, so why not something as important as what we're wearing?!</h3>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/bell4_large.png?v=1508730965" alt="" width="173" height="260">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/bell2_large.png?v=1508730954" alt="" width="173" height="260">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/bell_large.png?v=1508730948" alt="" width="173" height="260"></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Moody Detail:</h2>
<h3>Okay, usually headlines are preferred when story-telling or note-taking, but fashion this fall is all about the detail! Moody details are perfect for the extra-touch on any occasion.</h3>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Screen_Shot_2017-10-23_at_12.09.09_AM_large.png?v=1508731940" alt="" width="258" height="386">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Screen_Shot_2017-10-23_at_12.08.18_AM_large.png?v=1508731927" alt="" width="258" height="387"></p>

<p> </p>
<h2>Open Back Ties</h2>
<h3>Okay, who doesn't like to show off some skin once in a while? The back of a top or a dress can be the best part. Add a flirty tie, and it's truly to-die-for.</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Screen_Shot_2017-10-23_at_12.16.52_AM_large.png?v=1508732350" alt="" width="252" height="380">  <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Screen_Shot_2017-10-23_at_12.17.17_AM_large.png?v=1508732342" alt="" width="251" height="378"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h5><em><strong>As you can see, for the most part, these trends overlap (how convenient)!! Velvet bell sleeves, off-the-shoulder details, they all compliment each other. Next time you're deciding what to buy, add one of these to your closet and you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">won't</span> go wrong!</strong></em></h5>

    <title>Fall In Love With Your Closet Again!</title>
    <author>
      <name>Erin Pender</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p>We know <span style="text-decoration: underline;">minimalism</span> is huge right now, but shouldn't you be <em>happy</em> with your few items if you will indeed only have a few?</p>
<p>Did you just find the free charity event T-shirt that you only wore once in 2007(and don't even really think is your color)? How about those jeans with the ripped belt loop, or that shirt that's so faded you can't even tell what color it used to be? Can't decide what to wear anymore because you're starting to think you actually <em>don't</em> have anything to wear?</p>
<p>Maybe your closet needs a complete makeover! A few <em>good quality </em>pieces are better than 300 things you can't find an excuse to (or don't want to) wear. Don't over-crowd your closet just because something is on sale! Think about it this way- 3 average shirts on sale for $15 is $45 you have to spend on an amazing quality shirt that will be your go-to for every brunch with friends.</p>
<p>Be encouraged to start completely over with the <strong>right</strong> mindset! These are some staples we think every girl <em>needs</em> in their closet:</p>
<h2><strong>Denim:</strong></h2>
<p><em>black &amp; blue, ripped &amp; clean. Are all necessary, but it really depends on your style!</em></p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/denim1_large.png?v=1508098054" alt="" width="180" height="272"> <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/skinnies_large.png?v=1508098071" alt="" width="180" height="272"> <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/denim2_large.png?v=1508098064" alt="" width="181" height="272"></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Everyday Tee:</h2>
<p><em>great quality is important- comfy look, durable wear! (b/c this may be your most worn)</em></p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/t1_large.png?v=1508098179" alt="" width="180" height="271"> <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/t2_large.png?v=1508098172" alt="" width="177" height="270"> <img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/t3_large.png?v=1508098160" alt="" width="171" height="270"></p>
<p> </p>

    <title>Off The Shoulder</title>

    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Off the shoulder necklines and details have been </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">everywhere</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the past few seasons, from the high street to the red carpet. Last summer, we were all wearing cute Bardot necklines with ruffles and frills, and now, in winter, cold shoulder sweaters are popping up everywhere.</span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a trend that’s going absolutely nowhere anytime soon. Are you ready to rock it?</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/off_the_shoulder_1_large.jpg?v=1484477264" alt="Red cold shoulder "></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">XOXO Top</span></em></p>
<br>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Off the shoulder styles</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are a lot of different neckline styles that could be classed as ‘off the shoulder’. There’s the strapless (but still with sleeves) style that was the biggest look of 2016 and is still going strong into 2017. Then there are the shoulder cut-outs that often get called ‘cold shoulder’. Finally, there are also plenty of gorgeous one-shoulder styles.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/off_the_shoulder_2_large.jpg?v=1484477349" alt="Off the shoulder jumpsuit"></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Street Chic Off The Shoulder Jumpsuit</span></em></p>
<br>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why we love off the shoulder styles</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you check out our New Arrivals section, you’ll notice pretty quickly that we love off the shoulder styles! Here are just a couple of reasons to try one of these gorgeous styles:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s fun, flirty, and sexy. Showing off your shoulders is a great way to look subtly sexy without going crazy.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s an easy way to wear something super on-trend - this is one of the biggest trends of the season, if not the year.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Off the shoulder styles look elegant and sophisticated. It’s no coincidence that one particular off the shoulder style is named after Brigitte Bardot, one of the world’s most stylish women and a true fashion classic.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/off_the_shoulder_3_large.jpg?v=1484477457" alt="Off the shoulder floral top"></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blue Blooms Off The Shoulder Top</span></em></p>
<br>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to wear off the shoulder in winter</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s obviously easy to wear off the shoulder styles in summer. But how can you style them in winter?</span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First of all, off the shoulder styles can be a fun surprise under a heavy winter coat. They aren’t as cold as a cropped tee or super low-cut shirt, but still stop you from looking too bundled up all winter long.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/off_the_shoulder_4_large.jpg?v=1484477545" alt="Black cold shoulder dress"></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wrecking Ball Dress</span></em></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Off the shoulder styles also look great with heavier jeans, which are perfect for winter weather but don’t always feel cute enough for date night. Combined with a winter coat or jacket, an off the shoulder neckline will make your favorite jeans look stylish and fun. </span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also try out cold-shoulder sweaters as a seasonally-appropriate way to try out this trend. A tiny sliver of shoulder makes even the chunkiest sweater look sexy!</span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you do still need to layer over your off the shoulder style, look for loose sweaters in a lightweight knit. These will skim over any ruffles or draping. A really loose, casual sweater could even be left to hang off one shoulder and show off your on-trend layers underneath.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/off_the_shoulder_5_large.jpg?v=1484477629" alt="One shoulder top"></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take The Cake One Shoulder Top</span></em></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">﻿Are you going to be wearing off the shoulder styles this season? Which type is your favorite?</span></h3>]]>

    <title>Time For Tights</title>
    <author>
      <name>Vanessa Boyd</name>
    </author>
    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<p>Tights are something that most of us take for granted - an unglamorous basic for those days that bare legs just really aren't going to work. If you pay no attention to your tights, you're about to be surprised!</p>
<p>This winter, tights are finally getting the attention they deserve. A quick Pinterest search will show you how many bloggers and street style stars are already showing off their tights. Now celebrities are joining in as well!</p>
<p>Here are five recent celebrity looks that all involve tights - and that's about where their similarities end. Each of these celebs has styled her tights in a <em>totally</em> different way. Talk about flexible!</p>
<h2>Wrapped Up Warm</h2>
<p>Jessica Alba decided to keep warm in opaque black tights with a cozy-looking fur coat. Copy her style by layering <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/tinsle-tunic-dress">a comfy tunic dress</a> under your favorite coat. You can wear black like Jessica, or opt for classic elegance in <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/blogger-obsessed-coat">this gorgeous camel coat</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://celebmafia.com/jessica-alba-los-angeles-1220-2016-655748/" target="_blank"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/jessica_alba_in_black_tights_large.jpg?v=1482533073" alt="Jessica Alba in opaque black tights"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Edgy Fishnets</h2>
<p>In a <em>totally</em> different look, Hailee Steinfeld appeared on stage in Florida wearing edgy fishnet tights. She combined them with denim and leather for a look that's tough and sexy. A <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/rooftop-leather-studded-skirt">studded leather skirt </a>would look incredible with fishnets, or <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/soot-suede-skirt">a suede wrap skirt</a> will show off your tights in a slightly more subtle way.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/hailee_steinfeld_in_fishnet_tights_large.jpg?v=1482533256" alt="Hailee Steinfeld in fishnet tights"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Sleek and sophisticated</h2>
<p>Forget any ideas of tights as old-fashioned or basic. A sleek, high-quality pair of black tights can look at home with the most elegant of outfits, as Charlotte McKinney showed in New York. Steal her look with <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/leather-lover-skirt">a gorgeous leather skirt</a> and some <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/free-the-people-velvet-booties">on-trend booties</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Charlotte_McKinney_in_black_tights_large.jpg?v=1482533457" alt="Charlotte McKinney in black tights"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Grunge inspired</h2>
<p>For a touch of grunge, grab a pair of sheer black tights. Copy Dakota Fanning and pair them with Doc Martens and <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/city-streets-duster-coat">a long black coat</a>. Don't worry if your tights rip a little - it'll just add to the look!</p>
<p><a target="_blank"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/elle_fanning_in_sheer_black_tights_large.jpg?v=1482533729" alt="Elle Fanning in sheer black tights"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Evening glamor</h2>
<p>Live in a cold city? It's time to stop wearing jeans all winter! Keep wearing your favorite dresses all year round, just like Jenna Coleman. Paired with black high heels and an elegant coat, tights can work for a night out! Wear<a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/ring-it-in-ruffle-dress"> a black dress</a> like Jenna's for a subtle look, or go crazy with this <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/silver-bells-metallic-dress">incredible silver dress</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/jenna_coleman_in_tights_large.jpg?v=1482533899" alt="Jenna Coleman in tights"></a></p>
<h2>Are you feeling inspired?</h2>
<p>Go and enjoy the chance to be warm <em>and</em> stylish all at once!</p>]]>

    <title>New Year&apos;s Eve</title>

      <![CDATA[<p>Are you ready for New Year? For most people, this is the biggest party of the year. It's the perfect opportunity to get dressed up and enjoy wearing all your prettiest clothes. If you've already got an outfit planned, congratulations! You’re better organized than most of us! But if you're still looking for ideas, here are the best trends to try out this New Year's Eve.</p>
<h2>Luxe Velvet</h2>
<p>First up, why not try velvet? This luxe fabric has been everywhere this year and is perfect for a stylish, sophisticated evening look. Try a seriously sexy velvet dress like our Drapely Velvet Dress, or our Attention Grabber Velvet Dress. If your style is more bohemian or vintage, how about our Boho Floral Velvet Dress?<br><br>Even if you've already decided on a dress, it's not too late to try out the velvet trend. There are loads of velvet accessories available this season, so why not grab a velvet bag or try wearing some velvet shoes?</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/velvet_dress_large.jpeg?v=1483114868" alt="Velvet dress"></p>
<h2>Metallics</h2>
<p>If you really want to be the center of attention, you’ll need to wear something metallic. It's totally up to you whether you choose silver or gold, but the shinier the better! Our Silver Bells Metallic Dress would be absolutely perfect for a glamorous party, or our Pour the Champagne Satin Romper is guaranteed to make you the most stylish woman in the room.<br><br>So far, we just been looking at dresses, but what if you want to wear separates? Don't worry, we've got you covered there as well! The best way to look stylish and sexy is to wear a crop top. If you make it metallic, like our Mia Metal Crop, then you'll be ready for anything the New Year throws at you!<br><br>The best thing about metallic dresses (or any metallic clothes) is that you barely need to worry about accessories. Metallic fabrics are so striking on their own that jewelry just seems unnecessary!</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/metallic_dress_large.jpg?v=1483114983" alt="Metallic dress"></p>
<h2>Leather Leggings</h2>

<h2>Cozy sweaters</h2>
<p>Is there anything more seasonally-appropriate that a cozy, snuggly sweater? Skip the cheesy Christmas sweaters and choose something in a rich, festive color instead. We have way too many gorgeous sweaters to include them all here, but try out the <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/the-darling-tie-up-sweater">Darling Tie Up Sweater</a>, the <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/marly-knotted-sweater">Marly Knotted Open Back Sweater</a> or the <a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/big-bear-hoodie-sweater?variant=32809047182">Big Bear Hoodie Sweater</a> (you can tell just from the name how perfect it is).</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>For a new twist on holiday dressing, update your prettiest dresses with a tougher edge. From sleek black maxi dresses to leather jackets, there's a unique and beautiful way to update your seasonal style, whether you want to buy a new dress or accessorize an old favorite. Here are just a few suggestions for finishing 2016 in style!</p>
<h2>Sequins and Leather</h2>
<p>Sparkly sequin dresses and black leather jackets have become a classic of holiday dressing. They're perfect if you want all the prettiness and glitter of sequins without sacrificing your ususal cool style. Soft, supple leather is the perfect material for elegant waterfall jackets, or thicker leather makes beautifully structured biker jackets or blazers. Pick whichever suits your dress best, and you'll have the perfect party cover-up.<br><br>Play up the edgy aspect of your jacket with black accessories. A skinny black choker is on-trend and the perfect way to echo the black of your jacket.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_8929_large.jpg?v=1480614562" alt="Sequin dress and leather jacket"></p>
<h2>Metallic Pleats</h2>
<p>Sparkling fabrics are perfect for Christmas dressing, but stretchy shimmer Lurex can look a little dated! A more modern approach is to look for metallic pleats, whether maxi length or midi length. In a rich gold or icy silver shade, this is a wonderful way to combine holiday dressing with modern style. This is the new, edgy alternative to metallic tulle, velvet, or satin.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/metallic_skirt_large.jpg?v=1480614635" alt=""></a></p>
<h2>Thigh-High Splits and Plaid</h2>
<p>The ultimate edgy party dress is a maxi skirt with thigh-high slits. Combining the elegance of a floor-length skirt with the sexiness of a mini, these skirts are perfect for seasonal dressing without losing your usual sense of style. Style a black skirt with shades of gray and a touch of 90's-inspired plaid for a grunge take on holiday party style.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_8914_large.jpg?v=1480614708" alt="Split skirt"></p>
<h2>90's-Inspired Silhouettes</h2>
<p>90's fashion is going nowhere, so why not try a 90's-inspired party dress? A black halter neck is elegant but the 90's influence gives it a cool edge that's missing in so many other maxi dresses. A sleek silhouette is formal enough for every occasion, but still modern enough for any party, or just a night in a bar if you add a choker and leather jacket.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/90s_halter_dress_large.jpg?v=1480614782" alt="90s inspired halter dress"></a></p>
<p>Another great way to style a black maxi dress is to take a sporty-inspired cutaway halter neckline and combine it with classic accessories like a statement pearl necklace. The subtle print on this dress is elegant but unusual enough to add a unique twist, for holiday dressing that's classy but never boring.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/black_maxi_dress_large.jpg?v=1480692763" alt="Black maxi dress"></p>
<h2>Black Lace</h2>
<p>Black lace is a style classic that can work for so many different events and personal styles. It can be elegant, sexy, pretty, or edgy. This lace maxi dress is a combination of all the best things about black lace. An elegant maxi skirt combined with sheer lace is casually cool in a subtle way.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Black_lace_dress_large.jpg?v=1480614889" alt="Black lace maxi dress"></a><br><br>There are so many other ways to combine pretty dresses and edgy style for gorgeous holiday dressing. What’s your favorite way to look cool while still dressing for a glamorous party?<br><br><br></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>The holiday season is almost here! Now that Halloween is well and truly over, it's time to start getting ready for party season! Whatever you have planned for November and December, chances are that you'll want a couple of extra-special dresses. Why not choose something sparkly? Here are some of the top reasons to try a sequinned, beaded, or shiny dress - as if you needed convincing!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/under-the-lights-sequin-dress?variant=31362363726"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Sequins_4_large.jpg?v=1479163993" alt="Black sequin dress"></a></p>
<h2>Sequins are seasonal</h2>
<p>If you feel uncomfortable with the idea of being overdressed, this is the perfect time of year to try out sequins. Of course, you can wear sequins at any time of year, but the festive season is definitely a time when it's more socially acceptable to wear head to toe sparkle with extra glitter.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/gunmetals-sequin-slip-dress?variant=31409350478" alt="Sequin dress"></a></p>
<h2>Glitter makes you feel happy!</h2>
<p>It may not be a scientific fact, but it's definitely true. Putting on a sparkly, sequin covered dress is bound to make you feel just a little more optimistic. Try it for yourself! Even a subtle touch of glitter, on your nails or on a cute sweater, can make your day brighter.</p>
<h2>Beaded dresses channel the 1920's</h2>
<p>For decadent, classy, truly elegant glamor, no decade can beat the 1920's. The right beaded or sequinned dress conjures up that vintage style without looking like a costume. What more could you ask for?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/keeping-up-keyhole-sequin-dress?variant=31409398542"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Sequins_2_large.jpg?v=1479163761" alt="Sequinned dress"></a></p>
<h2>Sparkles can be sophisticated</h2>
<p>Unlike some other festive trends (like Christmas sweaters), sparkles and sequins can be sophisticated and elegant. They are the perfect way to bring a little seasonal style to a fancy event without looking inappropriate or out of place.</p>
<h2>Shimmer can be low-key</h2>
<p>Shimmer and sparkle don't have to be in-your-face. If sequins are a little too much for you, try a rich velvet with just a hint of shimmer. It has a lot of the same benefits but in a far more subtle way. Plus, velvet is one of the most in-trend fabrics this winter!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/liquid-silver-velvet-maxi-dress?variant=31321426702"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Velvet_dress_large.jpg?v=1479163837" alt="Velvet maxi dress"></a></p>
<h2>Sequins look great in low light</h2>
<p>Sequins are the perfect evening wear. In the low lights of a restaurant or bar, sequins take on an incredible life of their own. They will catch all available light in a delicate, subtle way, and turn you into a glittering goddess.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Sparkle is pretty and feminine</h2>
<p>Nothing feels as luxuriously feminine as a sparkly cocktail dress. It's the perfect way to live out all your childhood princess fantasies while still looking adult and sophisticated. A touch of sparkle adds just the right feminine edge to any outfit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.heartswoon.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/nutcracker-tulle-dress?variant=31255754371"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Sequins_3_large.jpg?v=1479163927" alt="Sequin and tulle dress"></a></p>
<h2>Sequins are perfect for high-low dressing</h2>
<p>But, equally, sequins can be the perfect addition to a tougher, less girly outfit. You might be surprised at how amazing your pretty sequin dress looks with a leather jacket, or a casual sweater. With their rich texture, sequins can be the perfect layering piece in outfits that are anything but sweet and pretty.</p>
<p>Are you ready to sparkle through the festive season? Which one of these dresses do you like best?</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>It's been a few years now since denim was a fabric we only saw for jeans and jackets. Plenty of designers appreciate all the amazing things that denim can do and use it in as many ways as possible. From denim dresses to accessories and even shoes, denim is <em>everywhere</em>.</p>
<p><br>This season, denim is really taking over the high street - and, of course, all your favorite celebs are wearing it! From classic dark denim jeans to ripped boyfriend jeans to elegant denim dresses, this fabric is hard to miss right now.</p>
<p><br>It's not really surprising that denim is so popular at the moment. Denim jeans never quite go away, of course, but with its heavy weight and structured shapes, denim is absolutely perfect for fall. It's also the perfect mix of casual and formal (when it's dark, at least) and looks just as beautiful in feminine shapes as in tailored straight-leg jeans.</p>
<p><br>If you're thinking about making denim your number 1 fabric this fall, here's your ultimate style inspiration: Margot Robbie. The actress looked absolutely gorgeous in a denim dress towards the end of summer, and her style is the perfect inspiration for turning denim into a serious style statement.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/margot_robbie_denim_dress_large.jpg?v=1478008680" alt="Margot Robbie Denim Dress Inspiration"></p>

<h2>
<br>Denim Dress</h2>
<p>Wear a gorgeous denim dress, like Margot's, for an outfit that's casual and comfortable but still pretty and feminine. Our <a>Lacie Denim Dress</a> is the perfect silhouette for fall and will look absolutely beautiful with leggings and boots as the weather gets cooler.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Lacie_denim_dress_large.jpg?v=1478008850" alt="Denim dress"></a></p>
<h2>
<br>Chambray</h2>
<p>For a slightly lighter look, how about a chambray shirt? We're used to seeing this fabric used for button-ups, but it can look gorgeous in so many other styles! Our <a>Chambray Bae Puffer Vest</a> is an unexpected twist on classic chambray that will keep you warm well into winter. Or what about our<a> Lace Game Chambray Top</a>? It's great with jeans for a casual double-denim look, or try it with a high waisted skirt for a feminine outfit with a twist.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/chambray_puffer_vest_large.jpg?v=1478009025" alt="Chambray puffer vest"></a></p>
<h2>
<br>Denim Jeans</h2>
<p>Of course, the classic way to wear denim is a pair of gorgeous jeans. We have so many beautiful pairs to choose from in our denim section, but our favorite for fall are probably the <a>Mel Jeans</a>. Like Margot's dress, these are in a classic dark wash and are the perfect balance between modern style and the retro 70's look that Margot's dress is channeling.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Mel_jeans_large.jpg?v=1478009230" alt="Mel jeans"></a></p>
<h2>
<br>How To Wear Denim</h2>
<p>To get the absolute most out of your denim this fall, try pairing it with unexpected things. Sequins and pretty jewelry are perfect for a feminine look. Or layer up rich fall fabrics like velvet and suede for a gorgeous multi-dimensional style that will keep you stylish and warm. Follow Margot's lead and look for 1970's inspired silhouettes and accessories to stay absolutely on-trend.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>You might have noticed by now that we love denim. Skinny jeans, denim jackets, chambray dresses - all of it. That's one denim post just wasn't enough. We needed even more denim! This gorgeous classic fabric really is one of the key trends this fall, so we're betting that you can't get enough of it either!</p>
<p>In this post, it's time for the denim that's a little more edgy rather than retro. For inspiration, check out Bella Hadid's take on double denim. Feel free to tone it down with your favorite skinny jeans if a studded denim mini isn't quite your style!</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Bella_Hadid_Denim_large.jpg?v=1478433568" alt="Bella Hadid - Celebrity Denim Style Inspiration"></p>
<p><a href="https://stylecaster.com/celebrity-street-style/" target="_blank"><em>(Image via StyleCaster)</em></a></p>
<h2>90's inspired denim jackets</h2>
<p>Remember those cropped denim jackets that everyone had in the 90's? Well, they're back in style in a major way, although with a few modern updates. Just look at Bella's light-wash denim jacket. The light wash is brighter and more modern than that bright blue that dominated 90's jackets, and the cropped fit is flattering rather than boxy.</p>
<p><br>To get the look for yourself, try our<a> Today is The Day Denim Jacket.</a> It's got the same light color and classic detailing as Bella's, with an even more fitted shape that will suit just about everyone! A little light distressing means it still has that edgy, vintage style.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Denim_jacket_large.jpg?v=1478433642" alt="Denim Jacket"></a></p>
<h2>High waisted jeans</h2>
<p>High waisted skinny jeans are always in style - so much that you might even have forgotten about them. It's easy to overlook such a hard-working and multi-purpose item of clothing, but high waisted jeans definitely deserve your attention this fall! Just look at how gorgeous Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner look in theirs! In cooler weather, high waisted skinnies are perfect for tucking in a t-shirt or sweater, so that you can keep a beautifully defined silhouette while still wrapping up warm.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/kendall-gigi-jun-2016_large.jpg?v=1478434078" alt="Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid"></p>
<p><a href="https://stylecaster.com/celebrity-street-style/" target="_blank"><em>(Image via Stylecaster)</em></a></p>
<p><br>Ready to upgrade your jeans this fall? Our <a>LA Street High Waisted Jeans</a> are going to be your new best friends! In the perfect medium wash to wear anywhere, with anything, they have just a little touch of distressing to keep things casually cool.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/high_waisted_jeans_large.jpg?v=1478433817" alt="High Waisted Jeans"></a></p>
<h2>Distressed jeans</h2>
<p>Alternatively, you might be ready for something just a little more edgy. Try our <a>Tear It Up Jeans</a>, which are in a darker, moodier blue wash that will look absolutely perfect with darker fall colors and winter knits.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Distressed_Jeans_large.jpg?v=1478433874" alt="Distressed Jeans"></a></p>
<h2>Black skinnies</h2>
<p>For the ultimate in edgy denim, you need a pair of ripped black denim skinnies. They practically scream model off duty style and are a wardrobe staple that you will wear for years. Pair with a hoodie and leather jacket for casually edgy style, or use them to dress down a beautiful silk blouse. Our Fringe Distress Jeans take the distressing a little bit further for the perfect rock-chic denim piece.</p>

<h2>Over The Knee Boots: Kylie Jenner</h2>
<p>Even if a giant corset belt isn't quite your thing, how could you resist Kylie's gorgeous deep green boots? Over-the-knee suede boots are probably THE biggest fall 2016 trend, and a slightly unexpected color choice is a great way to make your boots stand out from everyone else's. Team them with a dress like Kylie, or skinny jeans/leggings when the weather gets colder.</p>

<h2>Back To Basics Denim: Olivia Culpo</h2>
<p>Fall is the season when we all like to feel comfortable. There's a reason everyone starts wearing old leggings and soft plaid shirts as soon as October starts! But getting back to basics can be stylish as well. Just look at Olivia Culpo's gorgeous t-shirt and jeans outfit. It's simple and classic, but definitely not boring. A great pair of skinny jeans will help you to get the look for yourself.</p>

<h2>Cropped sweaters: Hailey Baldwin</h2>
<p>If you're ready for fall fashion but temperatures in your area haven't quite dropped all the way, how about a cropped sweater? Hailey Baldwin's look is athleisure-inspired, but a chunky knit sweater looks just as cute cropped. Wear with skinny jeans for a look that's comfy with an edge, or layer over a dress for a fall fashion statement.</p>

<h2>Sweater Dress: Alessandra Ambrosio</h2>
<p>Alessandra Ambrosio looked gorgeous in the ultimate fall piece - a sweater dress. Stylish and warm, these beautiful knits reappear every year, but it looks like 2016 is going to be an especially good year for sweater dresses! Wear it now with bare legs, then over leggings during winter. This is one fall purchase that you definitely won't ever regret!</p>

      <![CDATA[<p><span>Are you ready for fall? One of the best things about fall is finally being able to wear all your favorite layering pieces - at once! Or at least a few at a time. Layering is one of the best ways to really make an outfit your own and gives you so many exciting styling options. Here are just a few of our favorite fall layering ideas to get the most out of your clothes.</span></p>
<h2><span>Wear a slip dress over a t-shirt</span></h2>
<p>Not ready to give up your favorite summer slips and sundresses just yet? Get another few weeks out of them by adding a t-shirt! A white t-shirt under a slip dress is a perfect 90's-inspired outfit and an amazing way to layer up for fall. If it's already cold where you are, you can even add tights and an extra cardigan for a beautifully stylish October outfit.</p>
<p><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Fall_layering_tips_1_large.jpg?v=1476135750" alt="Fall layering ideas - slip dress with t-shirt"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span>Try a faux fur vest</span></h2>
<p>A faux fur vest is the ultimate layering piece. While the weather is still warm enough, layer it over a t-shirt or lightweight sweater. When it gets colder, a vest is perfect for layering under coats and jackets to keep you nice and warm whatever the weather. Or why not wear your fur vest over a knit cardigan for an extra layer of warmth and style?</p>
<p><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/Fall_layering_tips_2_large.jpg?v=1476135953" alt="Fall layering ideas - faux fur vest"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><span>Wear a knit cardigan</span></h2>
<p>Speaking of knit cardigans, you need a beautiful cardigan for fall. A neutral color like gray or beige will go with absolutely everything you own, and will keep you warm with hardly any effort at all. Just throw it on over whatever you like and you're good to go! A comfortable, slouchy knit cardigan will quickly become your favorite item of clothing.</p>

<p> </p>
<h2><span>Swap your old plaid shirt for a plaid cardigan</span></h2>
<p>A plaid shirt is an eternal fall favorite. They reappear every year, thrown over t-shirts, worn under sweaters, or buttoned up with jeans. This year, why not try a little twist and swap your plaid shirt for a plaid cardigan instead? It's got all the same seasonal style, but it's extra warm and soft. What's not to like?</p>

<p> </p>
<h2>Wrap up warm in a shearling coat</h2>
<p>When temperatures really drop, you're going to need a gorgeous coat. This shearling coat mixes 1970's hippie style with a seriously modern edge. It looks gorgeous with a mini dress and bare legs in early fall and it's perfect with denim and a sweater when the evenings get cold. If you want to wrap up warm without sacrificing style, then this is the coat of your dreams.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>It's that time of year again! Summer is fading away fast and it's time to get ready for fall. If you've been paying close attention to our blog, you'll already have your fall florals ready. But what about the rest of your fall wardrobe?</p>
<p><br>There's nothing wrong with falling back on an old favorite, especially at this time of year. We all want to feel cozy and comfortable as the temperatures get a little cooler. So why not enjoy traditional fall colors? Pumpkin orange, glowing gold and deep browns are all perfect for fall. Mix in a little black and you've already got a Halloween edge!</p>
<p><br>We all love tunic dresses for fall. Paired with leggings and boots, what could be cuter or more comfortable? Fun details like<a> the strappy back on this dress </a>will help you to stand out and enjoy something a little different. This gorgeous spicy orange color is perfect for October, whether you're carving pumpkins or heading to your favorite cafe.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/DK8293L_DK8293L-LBRICK07_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1474712282" alt="Orange tunic dress"></a></p>
<p><br>If soft colors and comfy shapes aren't what you're looking for, try a punchy orange for serious fall style. This dress is the perfect way to carry the off-the-shoulder trend into fall with a bold seasonal color update. With<a> an amazing bodycon dress</a> like this, you definitely won't be mistaken for a pumpkin.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_9224_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1474712383" alt="Bright orange bodycon dress"></a></p>
<p><br>Of course, darker colors are perfect for fall as well. Combine a dark burgundy red with black in <a>this sophisticated wrap blouse. The long sleeves will be perfect for cooler evenings and the stripes are fun but st</a>ill elegant.</p>
<p><a><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_3012_d8946cc0-9196-4a6d-a879-66f5f90c7a82_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1474712466" alt="Striped wrap blouse"></a></p>
<p><br>If you were especially inspired by our fall florals last week, then you're going to love this: we've got even more florals for you! The rich blue, gold and pink print of<a> this gorgeous blouse </a>is a seasonally-appropriate way to wear boho style during fall.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a><img alt="Floral blouse" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_3509_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1474712578" style="float: none;"></a></p>
<p><br>Still looking for more fall color inspiration? Anything in a rich golden yellow, vivid orange or rich red will be absolutely beautiful. Think autumn leaves! If you prefer a more subdued style, then choose deep reds, warm browns and a touch of black. The best thing about these colors is that they all look beautiful together - mix and match as much as you want.</p>
<p><br>As a quick tip, bright, warm colors like orange and mustard tend to look best on with a tan or warm-toned skin, while dark red and cool brown look gorgeous on paler skin. But don't be afraid to experiment! Wear whatever colors you like best and have fun with all kinds of crazy combinations.</p>
<p>What are your favorite colors for fall?</p>]]>

    <title>Fall Florals</title>

      <![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We've all associated florals with spring ever since the Devil Wears Prada. But what about fall florals? It might not seem like the time of year for pretty floral prints, but this year fall florals are IN, and you won't want to miss out!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Floral prints were all over the Fall 2016 runways, especially at New York fashion week. They were one of the major trends picked up by pretty much every fashion magazine - and that's hardly surprising! Floral prints are pretty, feminine and super easy to wear. Out of all the fashion trends on the fall runways, this is probably the easiest to try out in your everyday wardrobe. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plenty of celebrities have been getting in on the trend as well. Emma Stone started it all off with <a href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/fashion/Emma-Stone-Floral-Dress-Venice-Film-Festival-2016-42322830#photo-42322830" target="_blank">this gorgeous printed dress </a>(two floral prints on one dress!) and it seems like the rest of Hollywood decided to follow suit. Reese Witherspoon recently chose<a href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/celebrity/Reese-Witherspoon-TIFF-2016-Pictures-42368170#photo-42368170" target="_blank"> this subtle floral print dress</a> for a red carpet appearance and looked absolutely gorgeous. She wasn't the only celebrity at the Toronto International Film Festival who opted for a floral print - <a href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/celebrity/Natalie-Portman-TIFF-2016-Pictures-42381001#photo-42381001" target="_blank">Natalie Portman looked amazing</a> in a dress covered with subtle sequin flowers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, as if we needed any more proof that florals are <em>the</em> print to try right now, Victoria Beckham didn't just have floral prints all over her catwalk show - she wore them as well! After spending almost all of New York Fashion Week in block colors, she made an appearance in <a href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/fashion/Victoria-Beckham-Wearing-Purple-Floral-Dress-Fashion-Week-42376010#photo-42376010" target="_blank">this gorgeous floral dress</a>. If it's good enough for VB, it's good enough for us!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Convinced yet? If you're ready to grab a floral print dress and go, here are our top tips for making florals work for fall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try subtle, low-key floral prints. Chintzy florals can be a bit too springlike, so copy Natalie and Reese with floral prints that almost escape attention. Our <a>Floral Flirt dress</a> is absolutely perfect for this. It's on-trend without being in-your-face.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/florals_4_large.jpg?v=1474047535" alt="Floral Flirt Dress"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another great way to make floral prints fall-appropriate is to try darker colors. Florals look gorgeous on a black or deep blue background, and dark colored florals were all over the fall runways. Try our<a> Sinful Floral dress</a> - how amazing do those light flowers look on a dark background?</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/fall_florals_1_large.jpg?v=1474047606" alt="Sinful Floral Dress"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, stick to a simple, casual shape to really get the most out of your print. A relaxed-fit dress, like our <a>Free The People dress</a>, is the perfect way to show off a gorgeous floral print. There are no fancy tucks or gathers messing up the flow of the print, and you don't have to worry about looking <em>too</em> girly.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/fall_florals_2_large.jpg?v=1474047670" alt="Free The People Dress"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you going to be wearing floral prints this fall? Which celebrity's style do you like best?</span></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p class="p1"><span class="s1">New York Fashion Week has only just begun but the celebrity style inspiration is already pouring in. We’ve picked out our favorite celeb outfits so far - and, even better, we’ve shown you how to get the look for yourself!</span></p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3"><strong><span class="s1">Kylie Jenner</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Kylie just gets more high-fashion every day. Does anyone else think her new blonde hair looks <i>just</i></span><span class="s2"><i> </i></span><span class="s1">like the time Kim went platinum? This palm print coat is absolutely stunning and a fantastic alternative to the floral print we’ve been seeing everywhere. </span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/kylie-jenner-11_large.jpg?v=1473464722" alt=""></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Want to try out this gorgeous palm print for yourself? Our <span class="s2">Bermuda Babe crop top</span> is the perfect way to add a touch of tropical glamour to your wardrobe, even if you aren’t at Fashion Week.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_0627_5cdc7eda-e18e-4d6e-a3d2-c6bffd9c4974_grande_large.jpg?v=1473464842" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Alexa Chung</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Has Alexa ever put a foot wrong at Fashion Week? She jumps between casual and haute couture so effortlessly, it’s exhausting! This week she opted for a relaxed outfit that would be <i>so</i> easy to copy at home. Everyone has a favorite pair of denim cutoffs - copy Alexa’s idea and pair them with patent ankles boots for an effortlessly stylish look.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/57d2901d1800006c32bd04cd.jpeg?13385923290766055486" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you’re as determined as us to copy this exact outfit, start with our amazing <span class="s2">satin bomber jacket</span>. This gorgeous jacket has been a staple on pretty much every celebrity all summer, so you’ll literally never run out of styling inspiration. Why not decorate it with vintage brooches to copy Alexa’s sparkly version?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_9288_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1473465000" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Kendall Jenner</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Out and about in New York, Kendall Jenner proved just how true it is that accessories really make an outfit. Her camel pencil skirt and plain white t-shirt are simple, classic basics, but she took them up a notch with some serious high-fashion accessories. Velvet ankle booties are so on-trend that it’s incredible, her newsboy cap is unexpected but fun, and that rhinestone choker adds a serious touch of glamour.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/57d174481800009833bd0165.jpeg?9231838282507986826" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Take a leaf out of Kendall’s book and pair our gorgeous <span class="s2">Celeb Status choker</span> with your favorite white t-shirt for a look that’s casual but glamorous. Add a neutral-toned skirt and our amazing <span class="s2">velvet booties </span>for the ultimate in of-the-moment fashion!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_2423_1024x1024_large.jpg?v=1473465243" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Chloe Grace Moretz</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Former child star Chloe definitely looks like she’s growing into a serious style star. This floral dress is traditional and pretty, but WOW, that eyeliner. Picking out the vivid blue print of the dress was an amazing idea - why didn’t anyone else think of this?</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/57d1744e1600007526c0174c.jpeg?2769817608624426985" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Try something similar with our<span class="s2"> Poppyseed Maxi dress</span>. Styling it with shades of gold and brown is too easy. Take a tip from Chloe and pick out that vivid blue instead.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1115/2554/files/IMG_5897_c498a726-8b1f-4ee0-a5ca-d4b3b9cab1ef_1024x1024_large.jpeg?v=1473465440" alt=""></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We can’t wait to see what the rest of Fashion Week brings! Which celebrity outfit is your favorite so far?</span></p>]]>
