Perfection to a T

T-LA is a favorite of ours here at Uniquities. Fall has just shipped and they have once again not let us down. It can stay warm here in NC for the first part of Fall (let's face it, sometimes ALL of Fall). And while we can't bundle up in our coziest wool pieces just yet, T-LA gives us pieces that will work now and right into the heart of Fall. Being based in Laguna Beach, CA, where it's always summer, they've got their cotton and silk blends down to a T(-LA, pun)!

Here's a peek of some of our fav slub tees, you'll have to feel them to understand how buttery soft they are!

Novel pieces that we love:

We can't wait to wrap up in that sweater!

Trend Report: Clogs

Thanks to Chanel's Spring runway collection, clogs are back! Not in a bell bottom, hippie kind of way. Think skinny jeans and flowy tops, or with dresses and skirts for Fall. Here are our fav picks:

Diane Von Furstenberg Octavia Clog $295 Sleek and Chic!!

Steve Madden Carnee Clog $130

Fun and Functional? Yes, please!

Sometimes you just need a good pair of ballet flats. Those days when your in heels, and realize about an hour into the day that maybe you can't do 8 hours in 4 inch stilettos....we've been there, blisters and all. Enter: Yosi Samra ballet flats. Throw them in your bag, for those days where you feet need an interval rest from pumps. (Forgetting where you parked and searching for your car in platforms is not a comfortable situation)!

TONS OF COLORS! They come in skins, suedes, metallics, cracked pattern, and solids. Only $55!! We're personal fans of the rose gold, grey suede, and tan! These are awesome for the airport, long terminal treks and security check points included... Super lightweight, and rubber soled bottoms, cushy on the inside. Ideal for gifting, they come in a cute silk dustbag!

Hooray for style and comfort!

Denim and Fashion Fix Thursdays

Denim has to be one of the most versatile items in our wardrobe these days. It's like the ice cream of fashion, pick your flavor! Denim comes in a variety of weights, as light as 7oz; making it a perfect weight for us here in the south during these spring months. Distressed denim has made a huge comeback, complete with tears, rips, holes, abrasions. Customize your own pair with a razor blade or sandpaper (if you dare!). Tried and true skinnies and straight legs, you just can't go wrong.

Fashion Fix Thursday is here, and it comes with a denim deal too good to pass up! Buy any pair of denim, get the second pair for 50% off!

With brands like Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, Seven, James, and Joe's Jeans, you can't go wrong!

Herve Chapelier is here again!

The coveted French nylon tote bags are back at Uniquities. We have tons of colors including Carolina Blue, Hot Pink, Moka, Marine Navy, Army Green, and Geranium. A direct import from France come get them while they last.

à bientôt!
