Falling For Hues


Year after year the fashion industry tells us what's hot, and for the past couple of seasons the magazines and designer's have been showing colored denim. This year our favorite denim labels have continued to reintroduce the denim trend and finally this season it's hot........and it's here.

available at AC blue and AC St Louis.

The question is how bold are you?  Will you go for a vibrant blue, hunter green, or a bright red ?
This photo is a perfect example of how to wear the new trend. Let the denim do all the work, keep it simple on top and the rest of the color in the outfit neutral.  


These plum colored DL1961's will be here next month.  Perfect for shade for the girl who isn't crazy about bright color.

Red is the hotest color in the denim trend.  AC blue currently has red Citizens for Humanity in stock now.




Over the next month or so all AC locations will be getting more colored denim.....

Fall Free People

Via: Free People
Being a true Midwesterner means knowing how to layer.  Tank tops under t-shirts, thermals under sweaters, the more layers the better.

Free People reinvented our favorite flannel layering piece. The (We The Free) Lou Flannel Cuff Thermal is a must for winter weather.  Cute alone or perfect under a sweater.

Nervous about trying the new poncho trend?  Free People Snow Nymph Cape is the perfect marriage of a sweater and a poncho.

This cute Cable Swing Cardigan is the perfect addition to any fall wardrobe, it's over sized and has a cable pattern on the back. Not to mention the color will add some warmth to the winter color palette.

Lake Forest Location

Now that we have a total of four locations,  we thought it would be fun to post photos so our customers can see what each of our locations look like.  Our most recent store is nestled in the quaint Market Square of Lake Forest IL.  The Lake Forest girls love this location, being in close proximity to the lake offers a cool breeze that has really helped them get though this seasons extremely warm summer. 






 Lake Forest is the smallest of all our locations, but don't let size fool you it is filled to the brim with gorgeous jewels and our favorite clothing lines.





Next up...Alixandra Collections St. Louis.

Feathers: Not Just for the Birds.

Feathers are everywhere, in our hair, on our clothes and even in our homes. We here at AC could not resist getting on board with the newest accessory trend.  Check out the new Serafina feather line at our Hinsdale location.
