MINT to Be: Fall Color Trend

Mint will always be a color to have in your closet. It works with all four seasons! It is the perfect accent color to any outfit. Mint is our color crush of the season! It adds a sweet and elegant touch to a simple piece.  The smallest mint detail can make a dramatic difference! You can add mint pants, scarves, or jewelry pieces to make your outfit POP.  Whatever it is, we know you will ROCK IT! 

Here are some of our favorites from this trend:

Artistic Aztec Top in Mint

This top was one of the most popular tops we have ever had!! The pop of mint really compliments the wearer and the aztec print is SO on trend! When you combine the two a sell out was created! 

Gem Class Sweater

This light blue sweater will glam up your day with the gemstone detail on the shoulder! It is such a classy piece and the soft mint color will be a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe! 

Fine By Design Dress

The pink and turquoise pattern is fun and flirty for the fall!

Autumn Seas Dress

The color, the sleeves...THE BACK -  everything about this look is breathtaking. Remember when we said that mint adds an elegant touch to a piece? Well here is the PERFECT example! 

Get Cozy Infinity Scarf in Mint

Pair this bright scarf with any outfit to keep you warm and to look stylish! 

Endless Opportunity Tunic Dress

With this tunic dress, the possibilities are endless! It is perfect for work AND play! Wear with a long sleeve dress, leggings and boots for the CUTEST fall look!

Since mint is a GREAT color for fall...you can transition your summer pieces from warm weather to the cooler weather!

Burgundy is a great feminine color that is perfect for both day and night. We have pieces that are great for work, out with friends or even a special occasion!

#WCW: Our Model Whitney

Let me stop you right now and inform you that our WCW for this week is NOT Cece from Pretty Little Liars. I repeat, this is NOT Cece. This is our gorgeous model Whitney! Whitney has only been modeling for us since May, but she has already become a "local celeb" in her own way by being the doppelganger to Cece from Pretty Little Liars! What do you think?

Cece aside, Whitney is our WCW this week! Though at times, we think it is more than just a crush ;) Check out this pic of Whitney from when she first started modeling for us!

When we asked Whitney to describe her style in three words, she summed herself up perfectly. "Feminine, colorful, and (like my slightly type-A personality) attention-to-detail. I love anything and everything with lace, bright, girly colors, and anything with a special detail like low backs, lace trim, or cutouts. Things that not everyone would initially grab off the rack are my favorite pieces to style." We couldn't have said it more perfectly! You can tell in all of Whitney's Flourish finds that she is all about the colorful and detailed items!

We are SO EXCITED that Whitney also just got engaged and will be planning a fall of 2015 wedding! We can't wait to see all of the Flourish dresses she will be wearing for upcoming wedding festivities! Until then, we can admire how adorable she looks in all of our new arrival fall sweaters!

Loving Fall Chevron Cardigan
All About the Aztec Cardigan
We asked Whitney what her favorite thing about modeling for Flourish is and she said, "I'm sure everyone has said this, but definitely the people! Everyone I have had the pleasure of working with has been genuinely sweet and made me feel comfortable from day one. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to be apart of the Flourish family! Who wouldn't want to play dress up and hang out with fun girls every week?! I love it!"
SO happy to have you as part of the Flourish family, Whitney!!

#WCW: Our Model Katlynn

This weeks Woman Crush Wednesday is our gorgeous model Katlynn! Originally from Buchannan, Michigan, Katlynn joins the fleet of Flourish girls who are also Saint Mary's Belles! We having been crushing on Katelynn for a few years now and you can see why! Look at how cute she was when she first started modeling for us almost TWO YEARS AGO! 

When Katlynn isn't studying for finals or working with the Miss America Organization (she was Miss Blossomtime 2013!), you will find her relaxing with family and friends or catching up with her fav shows on Netflix. Check out this gorgeous headshot of her for her upcoming pageant in October!

One thing that we LOVE about Katlynn is her love for Flourish and friends! Here she is wearing a Flourish romper and headband with her bestie for the restie and Flourish model Roxie!

Katlynn's three words to describe herself also describe her personality! Classy, bold, and fun are her three words for style and we couldn't agree more. She is SUCH a fun person to be around and such a classy lady.

Long & Lean Maxi Dress in Ivory

When we asked Katlynn what her favorite part about modeling for Flourish was, she said, "I really love all the people that I have met at Flourish. I started modeling my junior year of high school so I have also gotten the opportunity to watch Flourish grow into the raging success that it is today. Vanessa is one of the most hard working and kind people I have ever met and it is truly an honor to be a part of her journey."

Fall In Love Sweater

We are so lucky that Katlynn goes to school close so we don't have to say goodbye this Fall!
