I have recently written about animal prints on Alexandria Stylebook. Animal print, whether is it cheetah, leopard, tiger or anything in between, is always in style. It is not a trend it is a wardrobe or home décor staple. To give you an idea how much I value it, when my daughter made a mother’s […]

I don’t know about your closet urges, but every season I always feel like I need to restock a few of my basics. Since they are what I tend to wear the most in my wardrobe (I mean that is why we call them basics, right?) a few options always need to be replenished. These […]

I don’t want to sound like a used car salesman, but I think I am on the verge. We are slashing prices even more! That is right: this weekend and this weekend only we are putting out the tables again with shoes at $100. The rest of the spring and summer merchandise has already been […]

Just yesterday, all of our spring and summer clothing and shoes at both stores were marked down 50% off their original price! But we believe you get the biggest bang for your buck on booties. Think about it: you can wear them year-round now, they are typically higher in price point to begin with, and […]
