The Perfect Dress...

It seems like the summer just started, but Fall is on it's way. Fall brings cooler weather, signifies the start of a new school year, and for many, a new batch of parties, events, and occasions galore! All of these events means that finding the perfect dress is a necessity. We are all seemingly in the ongoing search for "the perfect dress". The dress to translate from dinner, to a wedding, a party, or just a night on the town.

At Uniquities, we have a few vendors that have solved this problem for us. Jay Godfrey (pictured) makes any girl's "perfect dress". Bright colors, fine fabrics like silk and chiffon, and a price you'll love. This blue and black strapless also comes in yellow and grey, for the boldest of fashionistas! We love it paired with Marcia Moran jewelry and Uniquities gold bangles.

Other great designers include Nanette Lepore, Max & Cleo, Alice + Olivia, Diane Von Furstenberg and Trina Turk.

Come in to any of our Uniquties locations, where you're sure to find the "perfect dress"!

Mad for Plaid

A true American staple has always been plaid. From Ralph Lauren to Woolrich, plaid evokes visions of the American west. This season plaids will be everywhere from shirts, skirts, dresses and jackets. A shirt is one of the easiest ways to wear plaid. You can choose from a ruffle front blouse to a western fitted shirt. This season plaids also come in non traditional color palettes. Look for pastels and brightly hued tones of pinks, oranges, yellows and blues. At Uniquities we have great plaid shirts from CP Shades, Patterson J Kinkaid and Ella Moss. Pair plaid with denim and you have a great look!

A Walk on the Wild Side..

New styles from Ella Moss, Trina Turk and Velvet will get you in touch with your wild side with fierce animal prints this fall! Slink into a sexy snake skin print dress by Velvet for $161 or opt for the printed top paired with skinny jeans for $107.

Go casual with an Ella Moss cotton leopard print tunic, great with leggings or jeans, for $91. Trina Turk offers a more elegant take on the print, with a beautiful silk ruffle leopard print top for $220.

For just a touch of the trend, complete your look with a snake skin bangle or leopard print scarf. Whether you choose a whole ensemble or just an accessory, be sure to show off your wild side this fall!

Invest in Studs this Fall!

Studded accessories and clothes will be everywhere this fall - make sure your wardrobe is up to date by investing in a key piece, like this black leather, studded B-Low the Belt "Rock N Row" belt. Choosing one bold piece in studs will allow you to update your entire wardrobe without breaking the bank!

This belt instantly modernizes any look, whether it's a simple black dress or a pair of jeans and a blazer. The adjustable back allows you to wear it cinched high with a cute dress or to sling it low with your favorite pair of skinny jeans - you will be surprised at just how much one belt can transform every item in your closet!

At $270, this fashion-forwmard belt is a great investment for Fall. Come check it out today at Uniquities Chapel Hill!

Gladiator Sandals

There's no doubt, summer is officially here. It's the perfect season for tanks, dresses (maxis and minis, of course), and sandals! Gladiator sandals are the perfect summer shoe, for so many reasons! Looks great back with flowy maxis, tunics, and shorts! Don't worry, you can wear them with jeans too! (for those questionable southern "fall" days).

We love these strappy ones from Matt Bernson! Beautiful gold leather and zipper backs. Elastic at the back makes this sandal comfortably chic! Be sure to stop by any Uniquities locations to check out more gladiator sandals from Dolce Vita, Jeffrey Campbell, and Steven!
