Get Jessi's Look!

Business casual can sometimes end up a lot like... well, business. Kinda boring and stuffy. We kid, we kid to all you business people out there! But seriously, we really appreciated Jessi's approach to work wear. While keeping the colors pretty basic, she didn't hesitate to bring some fun into her wardrobe by choosing unique pieces that would keep her look luxuriously laid- back. Here are the four items we selected to help you get a look that was just as cool...

Pants: James Jeans cropped black jeans (makes it even easier to see a great pair of shoes!).

Sweater: Kenzie ruffled, oatmeal cardigan. Lightweight enough to wear even on the warmest of days!

Shoes: Don't think these ultra-sexy Chinese Laundry black booties are just for a night out. Paired with a conservative outfit such as this during the day, they are the perfect way to add a little jazz!

Watch: Wrap-around watch from La Mer.

This Just In: French Connection!

 

Swim into summer with these super cute swimming suits from French Connection! You'll be the envy of everyone at The Jones not only because of your rockin' bikini body, but also because of your rockin' bikini courtesy of Hemline!

Pleasantly Pink

Pink is such a lovely color for summer. Like the weather, pink is warm, fun, and oh-so irresistable! Just try and not head out to hang out pool side, at a barbecue, or in the park as soon as you slip any of these pretty, pink little diddies. All of them are ultra lightweight and offer just the perfect amount of dazzle to make your ensemeble interesting. Each would look perfect paired with a cute pair of jeans

Far left: This brand-spankin'-new pink Karlie tee is quickly becoming a Hemline favorite! We're totally diggin' the circle sequin cut-outs on the shoulder and the gypsy sleeves. The sequins keep this little top from becoming frumpy and transform it to pure sassy class!

Center left: This Daniel Rainn blouse is perfect for picnics on the Nelson-Atkins lawn... or your backyard. The light and airy material ensures a cool day basking in the sun and the loose fit means you can eat as many ice cream cones and no one will know!

Center right: Judith March is a new brand to the Hemline family and we're so happy she's here! This three-tiered top can either be paired with skinny jeans, or if you're daring enough, nothing but a super cute pair of sandals! The easy shape of the garment makes it easy to dress up for a daytime wedding or dress down for a day of shopping on the Plaza!

Far right: And last but certainly not least, we have another adorable number from Karlie. This one shoulder, beaded top is sure to become a go-to top in every girl's closet this summer. Complete with a delicate yellow paisly print, this top is definitely a head-turner!

Hemline Girl's Pick of the Week!

This is the second appearance in our store for this too-cool for it's own good necklace. A month or so ago, we ordered this necklace, and it sold out in a matter of days!

The tantalizing turquoise and lucious gold come together in a cascade of stones and archictecture that make this necklace a luxury staple in any girl's closet! Tara loves this necklace because of its versatility. She says you can wear it with a simple white tank top and skinny jeans for the perfect easy-going summer look or with a red cocktail dress and pumps for an eclectic evening look!

Stop by Hemline soon; these necklaces are soon to go just as fast as last time!

This Just In: Urban Behavior!

Urban Behavior makes great, simple, go-to pieces that are perfect for mixing-and-matching and layering with other great pieces! 

Left: Navy blue and white striped tank.

Middle: Grey studded shoulder tee.

Right: White ruffled, lightweight cardigan.

This Just In: Costa Blanca

These tops are perfect for summer! Loose, lazy, and oh-so lovely!

Left: Green and cream geometric design tank top. 

Middle: Palest blue lovely layers tank top.

Right: Deep-v and open back white tank top paired with Urban Behavior white bandeau.

Tastefully Tribal!

Summer is quickly approaching which means it's time to incorporate some fun, flirty pieces into your wardrobe! And we have the perfect items in mind... nothing lets you spring into summer quite like these fun tribal prints! As you can see, there are endless ways to wear them! Pair a fun printed top with a jeans or an up-to-there cocktail number with a pair of strappy heels for a to-die for look.

On the far left we have a lovely Frock by Tracy Reese dress in the most perfect peach tone. This little dress is perfect for a daytime weddings or another special occassion. Pair with a sassy set of wedge heels to keep the look fun.

Next we have a beautiful blouse by Voom. This top can easily be matched with a pair of jeans and black flats for an easy day look or with black leggings and heels for a hip evening look. The detailing on the neck means minimal need for jewelry. With this top, less is more!

Another top by Voom can easily move from night to day, too! Only this time, you can pair black leggings with cute little ballerina flats for a day look, and because this piece has a longer hem, you can just slap on a pair of sexy stilettos for a night out with your girls or your beau! This piece even comes with its own jewelry: a completely on-trend wooden, chunky necklace!

And last, but certainly not least, we have this little turquoise Karlie number that has everyone at Hemline going ga-ga! The nude detailing along with the gold hardware that line the one-shoulder cut give this dress some extra oh la la! Pair with some cute gold hoop earrings or some gold bangles and you're good to go! Perfect for pairing with this spring's biggest trend: nude pumps!

Stop by Hemline today to get your hands on all these great tribal looks!

Hemline Girl's Pick of the Week!

So we're going to do something new here on the Hemline blog! Each week we're going to feature a piece from our store selected by one of the lovely Hemline gals! We each have such distinct styles and tastes, so it is our hope that each week you'll get a slightly different image of all the great things Hemline has to offer!

This week, Bri has brought you this lovely Plenty by Tracy Reese dress! Bri thinks this dress is perfect for spring and summer because of the ultra-feminine paisley print and ruffled sleeves. The empire waist works great on all sorts of body shapes and the open back gives an unexpected sexy detail! Pair it with adorable flats or a cute wedge for the perfect warm weather ensemble!

Get Jessica's Look!

When Jessica bee-bopped into Hemline a few days ago, we were instantly smitten with her laid-back, luxurious look. So smitten, in fact, we wanted you to be able to recreate this look for your very own closet! And guess what? Hemline has just the stuff that will let you do so! We've whittled Jessica's look down to the four pieces we thought would make it easiest for you to get this look!

T-shirt: Fluxus tissue-thin, purple pocket tee.

Jeans: Hudson straight leg.

Purse: Melie Bianco studded, yellow bag.

Necklace: White elephant necklace charm.

You can get this look exactly or mix and match pieces to create your own inspired look! Each of the pieces if versatile enough that your coordinating potential is endless!

Coming Soon to Hemline!

Hemline is so pleased to announce that we will soon be carrying Acholi Beads in our store. We wanted to give you a little teaser, so  read ahead to learn more about this awe-inspiring company. 

This is not a charity. This is business done right.

This is recycled materials and fair trade partners. Instead of flashy marketing, Acholi Beads abides in the true story of Ugandan women and their beautiful creations; their decades of fear and their newfound hope. This business is committed to the long-term success of our partners, working jointly to build a foundation for independence and the tools to thrive.

The women we partner with fled a brutal civil war in the north of Uganda. Everyone in their Acholi tribe lost someone. They ended up in a hillside slum just outside of Uganda’s capital, where the only way they could feed their families and the orphans they cared for was working in a dangerous rock quarry, crushing rocks for $1 per day – the international standard for Extreme Poverty.

Now these women earn a professional wage making Acholi Beads. They handcraft each bead from a piece of recycled paper, and creatively string them together into the beautiful pieces you will find on this site. They work from the comfort of their homes, or together in common areas, and have started their own legal cooperative to manage their successful jewelry business. We are proud to partner our business with theirs.

And we don’t stop there. Acholi Beads provides training for woman we partner with on how to manage their personal finances for long-term success, including budgeting, savings, entrepreneurship, and microfinance training. Our goal for our partners is independent success, with or without Acholi Beads, for the rest of their and their families’ lives.

Business is the most powerful force for economic development the world has ever known, and we’re focusing that power for the benefit of those who need it most. We call it Socially Proactive Business, a business whose success is inextricably linked to making the world a better place. This is the New Luxury.

Quietly Quintessential

Sometimes fashion is all about stealing the spotlight and making a BIG, loud statement. Other times, it's about quiet sophistication, which is why we're obsessed with our new line, Fluxus.

Fluxus is the perfect combination of romantic and simplistic. With its gauzy, lightweight fabric, these pieces are great by themselves or lovingly layered with other pieces. The muted tones also make them ultra-versatile and easy to pair with a sexy spectrum of colors!

Dress up with a pair of black stilettos, patent leather belt and funky jewelry for an offbeat evening look or with a pair of skinny jeans and flats for an easy afternoon style.

Need more inspiration? Just stop by Hemline on the Plaza and ask the lovely ladies who there what they think!
