C’mon get HAPPY!

We’re approaching one of the most bittersweet times of the year… the transition to fall. While we’re crushed to see the end of summer fast approaching (and scrambling to cross off items from our Summer 2010 bucket lists), we are thankful to have new fall arrivals to build our spirits back up. Fall fashion arrivals are always exciting, and this past week we received a shipment from one label whose pieces always put a smile on our faces – Desigual is back at the Fly! How appropriate, then, that their current collection is named “Happy?!” We are thrilled to have the colorful and quirky Spanish designs back in store to help ease the seasonal transition. Desigual pieces are a great match for many a Fly girl, thanks to the founder’s vision to “create clothing that arouses positive emotions, commitment, tolerance, constant improvement, innovation and fun. His success is worn all over the globe, appealing to the majority yet nurturing the individual.”

It seems fitting now to share a brief, yet relative, anecdote. I just had a customer come in and tell me that she had just seen Eat, Pray, Love and was now yearning for color in her wardrobe to mimic the vibrancy of the scenery featured in the movie. Not to mention the desire for redefining her style as part of the quest for her own self-discovery, much like Julia Roberts’ character. Enter Desigual! As soon as she laid eyes on the new pieces, I could see the delight all over her face. Perhaps these patterns from an overseas designer will be the answer to her feared fashion rut.

Take a peek at the latest from our Spanish friends…

Patchwork-inspired tops and tunics with beading and embroidery:

Mulit-print skirts and tees:

Gorgeous brocade textured coat and eye-catching handbag, paired with a new necklace from Fly favorite, Vintage Fuss (and there is much more where that came from!):

If you, too, are feeling apprehensive about the impending change of season and are in search of playful pieces to update your wardrobe and maybe even help define who you are, come see us soon! And don't forget about our Cocktails & Sales event this Thursday night from 6-9PM (see below)!

Cheers!
