The Final Curtain

Mardi Gras season arrives with a flourish of vivid beads and decadent feathers as dressing for the most wonderful time of the year goes quite neutral.

GLITZ AND GLAM

From daytime holiday dressing to evening fêtes, this holiday season brings ensembles that work for every age and body shape.

FORWARD BOUND

INDStyle Awards bring the latest in beauty, fashion and local shopping

Fall Into the ’90s

The era of “Friends” and Seattle grunge has returned with full-blown flannel and overalls to boot.

The Real Housewives OF LAFAYETTE

School’s back and all the mommas say, “Amen!” Celebrate the sweet freedom in style with cold shoulder dresses, vivid print shorts and striped palazzo pants. Cheers to keeping it hot in the.

Independence Day Style

Let freedom ring in the most beautiful of ways — in every color of the RAINBOW — this Independence Day. And every day. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. And then a little RED, WHITE and BLUE.

The Rise of the Beard

In the ’70s, popular psychologist Robert Pellegrini said inside every clean shaven man is a beard screaming to be let out. The wait is over.

The Getaway

Summer beckons for lazy getaways on warm days, front porch sipping and light packing. Little shifts in prints, cool jumpsuits and flirty rompers lay the foundation for a weekend trip that’s fashion forward and relaxed all at once.

Peace Out

It’s the most festival time of the year. The streets fill with Festival-International-goers, the hippie girls come out. No matter our style the rest of the year, it’s the most wonderful time to get boho head to toe.

SO FRESH AND SO SPRING SPRING

Winter and spring meet this time of year as we usher in fresh style with chic pieces and colors both soft and sharp.

With Love

Say goodbye to overdone romance.

GLAMAZON

It’s the most glamorous time of the year — Mardi Gras. Ball gowns with feathers for days, cropped tops paired with billowing ball gown skirts and svelte fishtails. Beauty is simple with a focus on flowing hair and fresh skin.

Silver Bells

It’s all about the metallic this holiday season. Neutral hues get the festive treatment with a hefty dose of sparkle and shine. Fabrications are rich from faux suede and lux lace to shimmering jackets and sequin-encrusted minis. Try wine-colored lips, smoky eyes and a simple, chic nude heel to complete a look ready for all your Christmastime events.

The Heart OF Fall

Welcome to crisp mornings, all things pumpkin and dashes of plaid. Fall arrives with a decidedly boho flair full of fringe with cozy capes and sweaters chic and chunky. Leather leggings are the season’s must-have staple along with layering kimonos and fur vests.

Clear-and-Present Style

There is no right wing and left wing when it comes to great style. No matter who you pick come Oct. 24, you can do it with equal parts liberal and conservative panache - like fall's best bets in fashion. En vogue are chic dresses in primary colors, perfectly cut suits and demure little heels right along with funky styles like leopard dusters, corduroy jackets and floppy hats. Winning style for both sides of the aisle.

Indian Summer

Beat the heat with a blend of warm colors, vibrant prints and an infusion of influence that reaches from Native American beadwork to Moroccan details.

Summer of Rock

The boho vibe stays strong for summer with a rocker edge and fringe for days.

RED HOT SUMMER

Welcome beautiful weather and warm afternoons with little high-waisted shorts, retro hats and a hefty dose of glam.

ASK AMANDA

When it comes to a flowy pant, it’s kind of like jeans. The cut you want depends on your shape. Try on every pair you can get your hands on to find the one right for you.

Cut Color Style

Welcome the pantsuit, the romper and gold jewelry for days.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Feel the love this Valentine’s Day with retro shapes and prints that remind us of the past. Pair with a dash of modern cut and accessories that look to the future.

BEYOND NEUTRAL

The New Year arrives with a muted palette that’s anything but boring thanks to lux fabrication and modern cuts. Winter white sweaters, champagne silks and velvety jackets combine for a look that’s effortlessly put together.

A POWERFUL VOICE

The 26-year-old Lafayette designer took home the South Walton Fashion Week award this fall for his “Retrospect Introversion” collection.

THE ECLECTIC HOLIDAY

Holiday now is a marriage of subtle sparkle in pale gold and regal red dresses. It’s a fearless approach to glamour that’s less bling and more refi ned. Healthy doses of jewelry, a furtrimmed little topper and beauty that’s a bit undone pull it all together.
