En français, ‘le printemps’ means springtime. And while I enjoyed last night’s brief snowstorm as much as the rest of the town, I will forever think fondly of springtime in Chapel Hill. So, in the spirit of my nostalgia, and due to the arrival of so many fun, springy printed tops and dresses in the store this week, I thought it best to feature our favorite ‘prints of le printemps!’

Lizzie Top in Rose – $144 at Hadley Emerson

I love the floral motif of the Lizzie top, especially because it features some great trendy pastel colors that are in this spring! Plus, the Lizzie top provides excellent inspiration for some summer makeup trends! (Rosebud lips and peachy cheeks, if you haven’t read up on your fashion magazines yet!)

Sleeve Dress in Multi – $162 at Hadley Emerson

Again, another great use of springtime pinks and peaches in the abstract pattern of the Sleeve Dress. I love the contrast made between the bright, bold colors of the print against the very structured cut of the dress. Très chic!

Feather Dot Patch Cami – $168 at Hadley Emerson

This top is too cute – especially its fun adjustable back! The perfect transitional piece from spring to summer, this cami would pair perfectly with a long, open cardigan and flats.

Blue One Shoulder Top in Floral – $98 at Hadley Emerson

This one shoulder top is one of my favorites in the store right now! I love the elegance of the floral print against navy, and the flirty ruffle embellishment on the shoulder. The white in the floral print allows for this top to be paired with white pants on into summer. Hurray for transitional pieces!

Cross Back Maxi – $188 at Hadley Emerson

Who isn’t excited for the return of the Maxi? This printed maxi is perfect for spring wear – just pair with a cropped white cardigan on chilly days.

Chloe Blouse in Blue – $ 148 at Hadley Emerson

A lovely blouse for spring, I love the bright teal color in the Chloe Blouse!

Nicole Bell Sleeve Dress – $184 at Hadley Emerson

I am literally obsessed with everything about the Nicole Dress! A springy twist on a tunic dress, the Nicole features punchy patterns with gorgeous accent colors. This is a must have for spring, and could be easily worn into the summer months!

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we have decided to share our favorite pink items in the store this week. From clothing to accessories, each shade of pink will surely make your heart flutter. Be sure to stop in and see for yourself – or show your sweetheart this blog for some last minute ideas for tomorrow! C’mon, you know you’re worth it! Just tell him to think pink!

As the weather warms up, college and working gals alike are preparing for their share of sorority functions, weddings, and black tie affairs. So what better way to start the season off right than to try on one of our huge selection of cocktail dresses?

While the term itself originated in 1935, “cocktail dresses” have come a long way since the thirties. We love the allure of the cocktail dress, because as a trend, it has continued to exemplify feminine charm for decades!

With so many fun colors and styles to choose from, you would be crazy not to stop by!
