Shop Love

You all know that I love to shop local, and when a local shop is filled to the brim with tons of fun and on-trend items, they make it oh-so easy on me.

Amber Toste, owner of Houndstooth Boutique, is doing just that – both of her store locations (in Eden Prairie and Savage) are always stocked with tempting goodies sure to keep you in style.

Sigourney, who works out of the Eden Prairie location, is sharing with Wild Ruffle readers a few of her favorite trends this season.

Colored Denim

Colored denim is everything for this summer! It is a fun and easy way to get a pop of color into your every day wardrobe. My personal favorite is the Nico Midrise Super Skinny in blue, green, and purple. The wonderful thing about this jean is that it has a great fit and the colors are easily able to transition into fall. Swap your tank tops for a neutral colored chunky sweater and a great pair of boots to rock this bright look into next season.

Oversized Sweaters

We have some amazing oversized sweaters right now at Houndstooth. I can’t get enough of what Wildfox Couture has to offer. The adorable Seeing Stars Lennon Sweater has been seen on celebs such as Jessica Simpson and Alesandra Ambrosio recently and I’m not surprised! It is super light and extremely comfy to wear on cool summer nights. A definite must have.

Printed Blouses

Right now Houndstooth has TONS of gorgeous printed, flowy blouses, like these from Joie. What is great about a printed blouse is that is it easy to wear. Just pair yours with your favorite pair of skinny jeans or a slim trouser for and effortlessly chic look.

Be sure to join us the evening of July 25th from 6-9, at the Eden Prairie Houndstooth for a night of shopping (with a special offer of 20% off!), wine, treats, and jewelry. Anyone like free jewels? A fabulous charm from Stella and Dot will be given to one lucky shopper that night. It’s going to be so much fun – and we’d love to have you there!

If you’re not in the Twin Cities area, you can shop via Facebook, and Stella and Dot online too!

  • I’ve said time and time again that my favorite DIYs are the easiest (see my previous DIYs crafty style and beauty here). And today, I’m sharing one of the easiest of all. Tired of my plain denim shorts, I decided to switch it up a bit and polka dot the heck outta ‘em. 1) Step… [Continue Reading]

  • Just because you want to be comfortable, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. In stretch cotton head to toe, I still felt put together in my casual maxi and layered tanks. I’ll be wearing some version of this all this week as we vacation in Florida. Minus the 5.5 inch heels, perhaps.;) What’s your… [Continue Reading]

    Casual Day
  • I’m 4 days into our Florida family vacation, and I am loving this time with my family. Disney was a wee bit crazy, with 90 degree temps and blazing sun both days. But hey – it could be snowing! I’ll take it. Now we’re just relaxing on the beach, and eating as much ice cream… [Continue Reading]

  • Sometimes it’s the little details that make the outfit. The flutter sleeve. The ombre earring. A super tall pair of shoes. And my little four year old daughter capturing it all on film. Remember when I shared this? Hard to believe a full school year has already passed! top – via swap, earrings – H&M,… [Continue Reading]

  1. Adorable! I’m loving all those trends right now!

  2. Hey there, you might want to tell the owner of Houndstooth boutique that their site has malware. When I try to open the site I get error/malware messages. It seems to be happening a lot on smaller sites lately so they’re not alone. I love the ikat Joie blouses though — and your blog :)
