Denim Days

The same way nothing comes between Brooke Shields and her Calvin's, nothing comes between me and an amazing pair of jeans. My closet is stacked with jeans of many colors and designers from high end to low end. It may be my favorite piece of clothing to collect (shhhh! Don't tell my shoes!).

Many ladies can agree that once you find a brand that works with your body type it's like the skies open and the heavens start to sing. Regardless of the denim brand of your choice, it's also no secret that designer jeans just feel better on your legs than non-designer. However, designer jeans usually come at a hefty price tag. Luckily, you have Blackbird Attic on your side *wink*. Take a look at what we have in store below:

Hudson Boot Cut Jeans Elm Color I Size 27" I $26.50 I Retail $192

Happy Shopping!

Color Inspiration: Radiant Orchid

Awhile ago, we posted about the new Pantone color of the year being Radiant Orchid. With this sudden onslaught of gorgeous weather in New York its got us thinking of Summer's hot, go-to colors.

Inspired by this photo from Alicia King Photography featuring this Ella Moss dress, available at Blackbird Attic, we just HAD to post about it again! And could you just die for that flower crown?

This Radiant Orchid dress by Ella Moss is in an accessorizing class all it's own. Pair it with brown riding boots for a more casual look, or gold strappy stilettos for a classier affair.

Bright Ideas

One of the ways many people show their appreciation for art and color is wearing it. We're not talking about wearing sandwich board paintings on a street corner, we're talking about fashion.

When I was 18, I got my first credit card. I maxed it out within a week. Did I think I was some straight up baller like P.Diddy with a black card? Yup. My nasty little shopping habit wasn't such a bright idea for a college girl on a ramen and Diet Coke meal plan. But I did know one thing, I loved expressing myself through my clothes. Three part time jobs, a new credit card limit and some sweet Holiday sales later I was back on track. Luckily, our bright ideas at Blackbird Attic will only help your closet become more colorful at a fraction of the cost *wink*.

Blackbird Attic Styled Outfits

Sheree of It's Not That Deep, stopped by last week to style some outfits using Blackbird Attic stock. As is the business of consignment, many of these pieces already sold! But I hope to keep up with this feature.. so here goes:
 

Floral is a huge trend for spring and summer. All types of florals from big prints to floral denim. This cotton dress from the 80's is casual enough to wear to the park, but would also be great for a bridal/baby shower or brunch. It has sold, but we have many items in the shop with a floral print.

Here is another look that sold, but take this styling tip and only half tuck in half your top. As for the skirt, from nautical to sporty, stripes are in!

When you think of a warm weather afternoon a picnic is usually involved and with that comes gingham.. always a warm weather trend and staple. This top is actually a tunic/dress, but could be worn in a few different ways as seen here.

Here's another simple style tip. Wear colored denim to make your outfit more interesting.

 

Lace is all over the runways. Here is a dressy lace top, dressed down with a basic tank and vintage shorts.

Another stripe look in a totally different style. This outfit went to one lucky lady from NYC. Our merchandise is always moving, so stop in whenever you can to check and see what's new before it's gone!

Lastly, here's an interesting look, this skirt has an extra panel of fabric with a hidden pocket. The top and bag are also available for sale.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed this new feature, there will be more to come!
