All of the sudden it is feeling like FALL. It is already September.  How did that happen?!

Let us show you some of the newest items we have and how they are the perfect fall outfits.

#1 This was in our outfit of the week but we wanted to show it off with a different shirt. Both of these shirts have completely different detail and are from different fabrics. But see how they work together? Mixing and matching patterns and textures and details is a very popular trend this season.

#2 Tunics are a lot of fun.  They are great to pair with jeans, black skinny pants and leggings. Tunics in earth colors are great because you can pair them with fun accessories and the outfit doesn't end up being TOO much. 

#3 We just adore this shade of green that is a color trend this fall.  It is such a bright POP of color but looks very fall-ish. We love pairing cardigans with a wide belt to give more of a waist. 

#4 Scarves are a great way to add pattern and pizazz to outfits.  We love this ensemble below!

In our latest video fashion tutorial we showed OUR 3 current favorite items; Boots, Blazers and Belts; the 3 Bs.

You can take ANY three favorite items and make lots of different outfits for different situations, feels and looks. 

Check out how we use ours!

Don't you love the detail on this top?  While the flowers are bold, they aren't overwhelming, thanks to the dark colors. Pairing the top with a graphic tee and a great pair of jeans helps it work too. It livens up a basic outfit and makes it work for date night or just a more dressier look for running around town. 

Let us break down the outfit for you:

We wanted to show you the back of the cardigan as well.  Isn't is just beautiful?

Stop on in to try this outfit on YOU.  We are here at University Mall!

A plain white T shirt, black leggings, jeans, a blazer. How to make all these basics work, find the right fits for you and how to work them into outfits are some of the questions we get asked every day in the store.

"Women often find themselves having to dress up and beautify themselves for social events and, in a lot of cases, they have to upgrade their wardrobe for the workplace as well. But, when it comes to running errands, relaxing at home or just having fun with family and friends, we look for something streamlined, flattering to our bodies, casual and above all, comfortable. No one knows how to design for a woman's needs better than another woman, and Kara Lusardi is doing just that with her Los Angeles based clothing line, Bobi.

Kara Lusardi started out in the fashion industry 15 years ago. She attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and began designing children's clothing soon after. In 2005, she moved to Los Angeles, where she decided to do her own special take on t-shirts, one of the key items to any woman's casual wardrobe. She noticed that many of the high end boutiques were charging astronomical prices for casual t-shirts and decided to get back to the basics and, even better, charge women a reasonable price.

Bobi is made up of two main components: comfortable fabric and material that accentuates the good parts of a woman and downplays those areas of the body we don't want to be noticed. The whole line consists of dresses, long or short sleeve tops, tanks, tees and outerwear, such as cardigans. The tops and dresses are simple and allow for a woman to add her own personal touch. For example, a top from Bobi can be worn as a tunic and a dress can go from casual to chic just by belting or unbelting it. The clothing is versatile enough to wear day or night, and what woman doesn't like that?!

Bobi was introduced in May, 2006, and it has become all the rage with fashion forward, trendsetting celebrities like Nicole Richie, Miley Cyrus, Rumer Willis, Sophia Bush, Giuliana DePandi and Sophie Monk."
