Fall Ready!

As the fall season approaches, everyone is getting ready to start transitioning their wardrobe from bright summer-y florals to darker hues and chunky sweaters. At Shop 112, we have the perfect transitioning pieces to slowly get your wardrobe winter ready! With tons of new sweaters that just arrived, it's hard to only pick one, because they are all so versatile and go with everything! We also have the ever so popular statement necklaces and lots to choose from! They go perfect with a sweater to make it go from simple to elegant and eye-catching . Some good fall pieces that are "must haves" for every girls closet consist of: scarves, a good pair of boots, chunky sweaters, statement necklaces, and a fun pair of pants! All of these items can be worn through fall as well as winter! When you come into Shop 112, our stylists love playing dress up (trust me), so when you come in feel free to ask for help putting an outfit together or letting us know if you need an outfit for a certain event or occasion, it's fun to put our fashion sense with your style and collide them, because most people realize they love something they would normally not try! Who knows we might even give you "VIP" treatment and let you come to the back where we keep our absolute-out of the box-newest inventory... that's always fun. Happy shopping fashionista's, hope to see you soon.

It's about that time for "Back to School!" most of us students dread this time, but who doesn't love the back to school shopping part of this whole process?! At Shop 112, we have all your back to school needs like: 

> Cardigans: for those cold classrooms that we must sit in for an hour, with so many cute colors & prints, you won't have to freeze anymore, and with so many colors one is sure to match any outfit you wear! Also go great with uniforms if that is your dress code.

> Tote Bags: Not everyone is a "backpack person", so here at Shop 112 we have these super cute totes to hold your books around school, and in stripes! (who doesn't love stripes?!) Perfect for your books or a casual Saturday tote bag.

> Casual Necklaces: Now a days it's ALL about statement necklaces, but to school you probably don't want to be the shiniest one in the class, so we just received these perfect stone necklaces in three versatile colors, that go with (literally) any outfit but still make a subtle statement.

> Tops: Whether you like long sleeve or short sleeve, we have tops that are perfect for school, and are dress code friendly. These are a few tops that are selling fast at the shop and a crowd fav!

> Skirts: Along with the usual pants to school (which I'll feature in back to school pt. 2 post) skirts can also be cute for school, here are a few of the longer styles, that again, don't violate dress code violation, and go perfect with a top and cardigan. 

> Scarves: During fall scarves are the perfect staple for any outfit and in those pesky cold classrooms. With a variety of styles, colors, and designs, they are a sure choice for anyone's pick.

> Shoes: Walking around school all day can be tiring, and hurt your feet. Here are a few styles from the shop that are flats and are very comfortable, but also cute, and won't hurt your feet after being worn all day.

A Private Shopping Event!

Last night we had a "private shopping event" and took out all our absolute new arrivals! Fresh out of the box, hung up, and ready to be bought! We stayed open three hours after our usual closing and let customers come in and get a first glimpse at the latest trends we received! We had snacks, mini donuts, wine, and tons of fun! Right now we have a bunch of new things out and all for a great price! Perfect styles for the end of the summer and even some cute styles for pre-back to school shopping already. Come by and see everything we have: patterns, dresses, tops, bottoms.. we got it all!

How to Style our New Inventory!

One word to describe our new inventory: Eclectic! We received a bunch of brave new prints that are really cute as well as bold pieces. Perfect to end summer with and wear to that last getaway to the beach before the ever so popular back to school shopping begins. I've pictured a couple ways to wear our new attire and how I think it would be cute as well as tone down the bright prints. 

{playful print with simple lace tank // colorful skirt with toned down lace top}

{the simple lace tops that can easily be paired with almost anything ..versatile is the key!}

 {comfortable hippi-esque pants w/ a adorable lace 3/4 sleeve // more fun pants + chambray!}

The battle of the gladiator, your choice in brown & black! They go with almost any summer attire and are actually very comfortable and bigger on the calve area for us muscular girls! 

Last but not least for the outfits, this top is extremely playful, bold, easy to wear, and really comfortable. I paired it with some simple white shorts since the top speaks for itself. Very fun top to wear out with girlfriends, or just a normal casual day.

And per usual we got MORE maxi's for all you maxi lovers! I'm loving the one pictured to the furthest right with the roses, so fun and different!

A Dress For Every Occasion!

1.) This dress can be perfect for a themed party, like "cowboy/rodeo" kind! It will look so cute with cowboy boots or some flats! Loose and flow-y, this dress is ready for you to be twirled in! I added a belt to it to define the waist area since the top is flow-y and certain bodies will lose definition.
2.) This next dress is a more fancier dress and can be used for indoor weddings, as well as a fun outdoor wedding. A very versatile dress, it goes great with heels, flats, or even the ever so popular cowboy boots! This flow-y top flatters the chest area of us ladies and it add a nice flirtatious vibe. This look will go good with a cute chingnon hair style or a side bun.

3.) This fabulous "little hot pink dress" is a great dress for going out or a night out with girls! A very fun, flattering dress... it's perfect for dancing and looking great!
4.) This next dress reminds me of a "babydoll" look, super cute, with a little bit of sophistication added by the lace. This dress can be good for any occasion, a wedding, a party, Sunday's best, or even a dinner out at the beach.

5.) A dress every girl should own is a fun polka dot dress! This dress is flattering for every body type and is perfect also for every occasion. It can be used for Sunday's best, a party, girls night, anniversary's, and almost anything you can think of. What better way to spend a good amount of money on a dress than it being used for its fullest use!
6.) This fun maxi is great for the beach, but also can be "fancied" up for a great beach wedding, or just a casual day shopping around. It's a fun summer color and the ruffles add a great girly touch.

7.) An all time favorite dress at Shop 112 is the classy "Audrey Hepburn" dress, simple, classy, and the bow adds that feminine touch. A must have for ALL girls.
8.) This next dress is a super comfortable and is stretchy so it's perfect for all body types. I loved wearing this dress for just a normal day, and it received so many compliments. I think this dress is great for a casual dinner or to church, because it's perfect on the length on the legs and isn't too short.

9.) I love this fun dress, very twirl-y and flirt-y, it's great for a dinner out at the beach, or a fun summer party to attend. The fit is flattering and is waist defying so it's great for making our bodies look great!

New Inventory at the Shop!

{This adorable top is perfect for summer time, the lace makes it cute and lady-like, while the color keeps you fresh for the hot summer days. I paired this lovely top with dark wash denim some cute brown ankle wrap flats and a cross body bag to enjoy the summer days without having to lug around a big purse.}

{This next top is simple but the dainty flowers at the bottom add the perfect amount of cuteness to it! I added a light-weight denim jacket because it still is able to show the flowers at the bottom but add some style to the outfit. I also thought some breezy linen pants would pair perfectly with the denim jacket, and to add height I added wedges that would compliment the statement necklace I added bringing the whole outfit together.}

{The picture came out a little reddish but the top is actually more pink than red, it's a very simple top but the lace pocket & lace back make give it that perfect "oomf" it needs to compliment any outfit and is very versatile, it can go great with denim shorts, jeans, pants, a skirt, here though I paired it with some with shorts to go with the color of the lace. I also added our fabulous (and popular) wedges we carry at Shop 112 along with a simple jeweled necklace}

{Our last new top we received is the ever so popular lace top, here at Shop 112, our customers go crazy for lace! It's elegant, classy, and goes perfect with anyone's look. I kept the look simple since this top speaks for itself, and paired it with dark wash denim skinnies, and simple gold n' black necklace along with brown strap sandals to compliment the gold in the jewelry.}

Aside from tops we also received a bunch of dresses too, that are perfect for any occasion you may be attending this summer, from cool new fresh prints to the simple little black dress every girl must have in her closet! We got great new looks that'll satisfy your summer needs.
