Style Profile: Cassie

2012-02-24T16:51:00.001-06:00

Happy Friday friends, and welcome to this week's Style Profile featuring Ms.Cassie! As effortless as Cassie makes her multi-tasking appear - she overlaps with so many different departments, including our 400+ stores - let's be honest, we'd be lost without her! Cassie is also the one you can count on to give it to you straight, and keeps you on top of your game, which I love! Another bonus - her style is as independently awesome as she is, so feel free to get inspired!

Shop some of Cassie's favs Rock Revival Easy fits, Miss Me, our new Gimmicks collection, and of course BKE.

2012-02-16T15:50:00.000-06:00

Alright ladies, it's time to put a lil' spring in your step! With new styles arriving just in time for all things spring, we wanted to remind you to shop our women's shop by looks (in the left navigation) featuring our basic, boho, girly, glitz, rocker, sporty and surf/snow styles. Cross-shop between categories to create a spring style that's all you!

Basic –  Plain Jane? Puh-lease. They’re just jealous that you make casual basics not so casual and basic.
Boho – In the spirit of free-flowing fashion, there are no rules when mixing pieces on your worldly wanderings.
Girly –  Your fashion repertoire consists of delicate laces, flowy ruffles, and the most romantic pieces.
Glitz – Your sequins of events for the day always includes a sprinkle of shine wherever you go.
Sporty – Heart poundin’, feet racin’, clothes rockin’, your performance excels when you look this good.
Rocker –  Where bold fashion, infused with a dose of rock n’ roll, meets embellishment bliss.
Surf & Snow –  From sand to street or slopes to lodge, let your free-spirit run wild in style.

Winter Packlist: All The Essentials

2012-01-10T15:40:00.003-06:00

This winter, leave the packing to the professionals. Focus on keeping it streamlined and therefore, making it as easy as possible (especially if you're like some of us who leave the packing until the morning of departure).

Keep your layers lightweight and versatile. Case in point, a long sleeve t-shirt in a dark or neutral color is ideal - the more ways to wear it means the more space you'll save for the extras you just can't bear to leave behind. Bring in some color and function with a great hoodie (try one of our favorites from Billabong, Hurley or Fox)! I mean, just think of all those times when the climate control is out of your control- cars, planes, restaurants, etc.

And, don't forget the little things, as they are often the ones that make a difference. Example: late nights followed by early mornings beg for some sunglasses - go undercover with the perfect pair of mirrored lenses! Stay on top of your schedule with a sleek and easy to read digital silicone watch. And, no matter the distance or mode of travel, never leave home without a pair of headphones.

Last but not least, you're going to need a place to stash all of your stuff. We recommend scoping out the Hurley Honor Roll Duffle Bags. They're extra durable to survive the wear and tear of life on the road.

With your packing list this clean and concise, you won’t have an excuse not to bring back souvenirs! Happy travels!

Sales On!

2012-01-04T15:22:00.001-06:00

It's day five of the new year and we are just getting around to making those resolutions. (Ok, so we drug our feet a little - at least we're doing them now!)We conducted one of our HIGHLY scientific polls around the office to find out what changes everyone is hoping to make for 2012.

One that always gets a nod is a more healthy & active lifestyle. Luckily, we have the gear to make you look good on your journey there. With brands to choose from like Puma, Nike, Hurley and Roxy, to name a few, we have both guys and gals covered!

Some of the ladies are focused on elevating their style with the help of a great pair of heels, others are experimenting with that mixed prints trend (like animal, florals and southwestern-inspired pieces), that we love so much. Some are even reinventing their total look by going from basic to boho or from rocker to girly – transformation station!

And of course we had to get a read on what the guys were thinking – they had their own thoughts on fashion resolutions too. Simple tweaks like adding accessories to their look or trying new fits in jeans were top contenders.

Across the board, the most popular resolution was to be financially healthier in 2012. Help keep your budget in check with the help of our massive sale on buckle.com. Check out the great deals below.

What are your resolutions for 2012?

Party-Ready Pieces

2011-12-29T16:12:00.001-06:00

To keep it simple, we’ve narrowed it down to your top 3 game changers for New Year’s-

1- It’s a new year, so now would be the perfect time to find a new favorite jean to add to your collection. Shop within your favorite brands like BKE, Rock Revival, and Big Star; or update your fit. For instance, if you normally rock a pair of Tyler’s, try one of the new Tyson’s that have just rolled out!

2- As always, keep it classy! Check out the awesome selection of long sleeve button front shirts from Roar, Buckle Black, and Affliction to get your look just right.

3- Sport a watch. It will help complete the look and keep your night on track long after your phone dies.

1- Let’s start with the obvious. New Year’s Eve is a girl’s best excuse to sparkle and shine so think sequins, sequins, and more sequins!

2- Of course, no outfit is complete without a killer pair of heels. Look for the latest from Jessica Simpson, Naughty Monkey, and BKE Sole.

3- The best way to set yourself apart and let your personality shine thru is with your accessories. So bring it on and pile on the necklaces, rings, and bracelets!
