Keeping Cool

Cooler Outfits Ahead

This week your Shabby Chic stylists have been all about keeping cool in the summer heat. With the month of July beginning to roll through, that means temperatures are hitting the 90s and onward. And while we all still want to venture outside, it’s difficult when the sun’s rays are beating down on us.

So to defeat the heat, we’ve been unboxing new arrivals and putting our own spin on new trends. Taking this laced out tank for example, one of our shoppers came into the store and suggested throwing a slip on underneath. Now a top that’s more versatile, it not only pairs well with a pair of jeans and our famous bralette, but also acts as a dress. To accessorize, layer with a long statement necklace and keep in the shade with a fun sun hat.

For an even more effortless look, come in and try one of our printed rompers-- no outfit planning necessary. This light blue one with lace detailing on the shorts is the right look for a walk on the boardwalk or a nice dinner out with the family. Whatever the occasion, it’s simplicity will be your new packing essential.


Celebrity Selena Gomez understands as she wears her version dressed up with a pair of heels and reflective aviators.

If looking for a little more cover, our easy cut-out dresses with a kimono to match will be your new go-to. Each piece will go with several items already in your wardrobe and have room to layer for more outfit possibilities. The kimono for instance, will help in a situation of being in a chilly restaurant. Blasting air conditioners may feel like paradise at first, but can turn frigid later.

Now with all of our recent releases, we’ve been having fun at the store showing everyone our fabulous new styling tricks and advice. Show us some of your styled Shabby Chic looks by tagging us on Facebook. Stay cool!

Summer Getaway

Finally it’s that time of the year. Not only is it summer, but July is also the #1 month everyone leaves for vacation. Your Shabby Chic stylists would know since we made an escape ourselves. Whether it’s lying out on the beach, exploring an exotic country or making the best of your backyard, the perfect outfits for sunshine fun are a must.

Take this red printed bathing suit for example. Perfect for tanning, this fun pattern will be great to wear while soaking up the sun. With a hint of black mixed with the print, it goes with our black lace kimono and soft shorties for a cute cover up.

Celebrity Jessica Alba understands. She’s rocking a version of our look at the beach with an ice cold drink in her hand-- and walking with a ton of confidence.

This outfit is versatile and each piece shown can create it’s own vacation outfit. The kimono for example doesn’t have to be worn over the shoulders, but can still act as a cover up by tying it as a skirt around the waist.

Top off any of our looks with your favorite pair of tasseled sandals and sunglasses.   

Looking for a different outfit idea? Try out one of our best-selling slip tank dresses in an ombre. This style can also be worn while shopping around the boardwalk for some added coverage.

If it’s cooler in the evening, pull out one of our knit tops in a bright color to keep warm. The sun might be disappearing, but the color doesn’t have to as we recently received a fresh shipment of them in a neon pink and white combo.    

No matter what the occasion, we have you covered this season with all sorts of styles to choose from. Oh, and did we mention all of our swimsuits are 20% off this week? Happy Vacationing!
