Did Someone Say 50% Off?
Jan 24th
You heard right. Right now at STA we’re hosting our winter clearance sale! As usual, we plan to take full advantage of this indecently awesome opportunity. New arrivals, furs and jewelry are 20% off and EVERYTHING ELSE is 50% off? Excuse me while I grab my purse and my shopping list.
For this sale in particular, I’ll be looking for winter to spring transition pieces. And as always, investment pieces that I haven’t bitten the bullet for yet.
1. Rain Boots
Rain boots are a winter and spring essential. They’re great for this time of year because you can continue to wear them as it snows in to March, and then there they are, ready to go for spring showers! They especially irresistible when they’re Tory Burch. Not only are these weather-proof, but they look so similar to riding boots that you can wear them with any daytime outfit. Jeans, leggings, skirts you name it, these Torys are awesome in any season, any outfit and any weather.
2. Designer Tote
There comes a certain point where it’s about time we have a nice, big tote in a killer designer. The problem is, the bigger the bag, the higher the price. Well ladies, 50% off couldn’t have come at a better time. Is there a Prada, Louis or Milly bag you’ve been stalking for weeks? It’s 50 % off. Especially in a neutral color, a big shoulder bag can fit any season.
3. Flats
We all know February, March and April can never make up their mind as to what season they really want to be in. It’s obviously too cold for sandals, but on those sporadic warm days you want to give your boots a break. What better time to be equipped with a classic pair of flats? Not only are they the perfect transition shoe from winter to spring, but they are also ridiculously easy to match with all outfits. Dress them up, dress them down, they go with anything and everything. Wear them to work with your crisp trousers, on the weekends with jeans or at night with a dress.
4. Vest
Vests are statement piece that are perfect for transitioning between seasons. Especially in a faux fur, they have a cozy winter feel, but are warm enough for those spring-like days when you’d rather leave your coat at home. Not only are they seasonally versatile, but they make a simple long sleeved shirt look stunningly fashionable.
See you there!
Ring in New Styles
Jan 6th
It’s the new year fashionistas! And that means a time to start fresh. No doubt, 2013 served us well with many memorable trends. Peplum tops, colored pants and statement necklaces were loved by all. But with the new year comes new resolutions. It’s time to venture out of our beloved trends and explore new styles. For 2014, we have a few style resolutions of our own.
1. Venture Outside of Riding Boots
By no means do we mean stop wearing them. Leather riding boots are a necessary staple of any wardrobe. However, it’s time to stop relying on them for every outfit. There are so many shoes and so many styles, why should we limit ourselves to tall boots (especially in the winter). We particularly love trying a lower rise boot or wedge booties for a similar yet unique style. And don’t forget about loafers, flats or heels! in 2014, we’re all about stepping out of our style comfort zone and giving the rest of our shoes some love.
2. Experiment With Mid-Length Skirts
We’ve all loved maxi skirts and our fair share of the mini. But what about the neglected middle child? Mid-length skirts are whimsical while modest and sophisticated. Pair with a cardigan for a sweet and almost vintage feel, or go with a leather jacket for a sartorial look. Give them a try in any season! We’re loving this new trend.
3. Wear More Blazers
Blazers are perhaps the easiest way to turn any casual outfit into a chic ensemble. Having just one or two in your wardrobe offers endless mix and match possibilities. A blazer can complement every item in your closet and instantly adds flair to any outfit. Even pair with a tshirt and jeans for an effortless daytime outfit.
4. Flaunt Pastel Pieces
2014 is bringing back pastels in full force. We love pastels for their undeniable feminine flair and positive energy, and they’re not just for springtime (pastel leather anyone?). Pastel jewelry and skirts are two pieces we’ll be sure to try this year.
We’re looking forward to 2014 and the fashion it brings! But for now, we’ll try to keep these new year’s resolutions. Happy New Year FashioniSTAs!

Three Styles, One Fashionable Thanksgiving
Nov 26th
Thanksgiving, the one holiday that is actually about food. If you’re anything like me, I don’t necessarily feel my most beautiful and put-together self when I’m stuffing my face for 24 hours. It’s hard to resist those comfy and stretchy yoga pants, but don’t give in! Here are three fabulous outfit inspirations to keep you looking fabulous (as usual) this Thanksgiving.
1. Cozy and Versatile
This outfit is great for all of the active ladies. Whether lounging with the family or running around with the kids, this outfit is comfortable but ready to go! Citizen jeans are the epitome of classic casual, and the Theory knit sweater is a subtle touch of cozy and confident. Tory Burch boots add a little glam, and the Burberry scarf ties the whole thing together for an unstoppable ensemble.
And wouldn’t you know, this Burberry quilted jacket from STA 324 Newbury St. goes perfectly when it’s time for the family football game.
2. Elegant and Feminine
Sometimes we celebrate Thanksgiving with a loved-one’s family instead of our own. But don’t let that frighten your holiday fashion sense! A feminine, chic outfit is appropriate for any Thanksgiving atmosphere. We love this blouse from Ralph Lauren, which you can dress down with Calvin Klein black skinny jeans. Then add your personality in the accessories! We added some sparkle with Rebecca Minkoff loafers and a Marc Jacobs bracelet.
These Prada silver jeweled flats from STA Armitage are a fabulous way to add some glam to your sophisticated ensembles. And If you’re a guest, the Chanel cross body from STA Haddonfield can carry all of your little necessities while you’re out!
3. Stylish, Yet Forgiving
Maybe you’re like me and love to spend Thanksgiving with a glass of wine in the kitchen with the women of the family. All I know is I don’t want to wear anything too restricting, especially as I’m nibbling all day! A dress is a great way to stay comfortable and fashionable. This Marc by Marc Jacobs short dress allows you to move freely around the house. Paired with black tights and Chanel boots, it screams bold and down to business. And we can never resist a good accessory, like this Michael Kors collar necklace.
And don’t forget a Michael Kors boyfriend watch from STA 176 Newbury St. is a mandatory accessory on Thanksgiving to keep track of all the madness!
Happy Thanksgiving fashioniSTAs!
