February Dreams of Spring ahead!

As many of us look out our windows this time of year, we see snow-covered trees and buildings. We wear big puffy coats, hats, boots and mittens to keep warm from the Polar Vortex or Linus and such.

But in the retail world, the stores start getting Spring merchandise starting in January into February, regardless of the storms that may arise. So come SHOP with us! It is RETAIL THERAPY to get you out of the winter blues.

One of our absolute favorite lines is Weston Wear. They use the most beautiful fabrics and the styles are so pretty and feminine. Just like we love them at Inspire Me Boutique!

This floral ruffled pique sweater top with the jeweled neckline is perfect style to brighten up anyone’s day!

Two MUST HAVE pieces, of course, are a great fitting pair of jeans and the “bag of the season”.

We all personally love Mia and Moss jeans because the fit is amazing and they do not stretch out. Samantha is wearing the Sabine Skinny style in the Indigo Wash. We sell them so well not only because of the fit but because of the price at $99!

We just got back from New York market and every handbag designer was showing a laser cut design bag. We have been carrying Buco Handbags for a few months now and love how lightweight and beautifully made they are.

Here Samantha is carrying the East/West Carriage tote which is a vegan leather tote with a faux suede lining with an intricate pin wheel laser design on the front center of the bag.

Pearls always compliment every outfit! We chose these pearl and crystal earrings by Brighton, pearl and crystal ring and two leather tube and silver wrap bracelets by Gawdybobbles

It IS the month of February!!! L-O-V-E How will you show your LOVE this month?

Nothing speaks Spring more than the color of white and lace.

Johnny Was Collection does romance better than anyone. The exquisite embroidery and beautiful detailing on every piece of clothing that they make keeps everyone loving it season after season.

We layered the Palomino Swing Tank underneath this embroidered Peplum Hoodie to give her a very romantic look. Accessorizing in pearls and tan leathers like another laser cut diamond leather bag by Buco Handbags gives it more of a bohemian vibe.

Samantha’s crystal headband is by Deepa Gurnani and gorgeous stretch bracelet by Elisabetta Riccardi.

All the things that make you think of February are captured in this beautiful picture by our amazing photographer Brooke from Ashley Beige Photography

Large oversized pearls in earrings and pendant necklaces are so on trend this season and it looks so feminine and beautiful without looking too “cute”.

The Jade Shift Dress by Weston Wear looks so stunning and sophisticated paired with these grey snake-skin wedge sandals and sequined zipped clutch.

Come Dream of Spring with Inspire Me Boutique!

I hope that we Inspired you!!

“Johnny Was Here”

As many of you know, I have been in business for 20 years and I have accumulated a lot of things in the basement of the store. Antiques, metal clothing racks, doilies, silk flowers, vases, holiday decorations galore and mannequins seem to keep taking over even when things seem to be pretty organized. We had fun with the chaos last week, when the rain stopped our plan to go outside to do the photo shoot.

In this setting, we chose this antique corner cabinet and 2 antique folding screens and hung 2 small chandeliers to give the bohemian feel of the clothing that Johnny Was portrays. Emily is wearing one of their beautiful embroidered ivory tunic dresses and a silk floral scarf as a headscarf.

I was able to find soft willow branches in my menagerie of flowers.

These beautiful gold triple hooped earrings by Mashka were the perfect compliment to this outfit.

Our gorgeous model is Emily Sroda.

Our photographer Brooke, chose all of the settings in the basement. She is truly amazing at what she does! Here she took metal clothing racks and layered them around and then laid Emily among them here. Emily is wearing a Johnny Was peasant embroidered top and embroidered cutout pants. She is also wearing multi colored chain jewelry by Lee Angel.

Here you see a male and a female mannequin. We used to carry Men’s clothes a few years ago. We still have the mannequins so…… you never know, we may again. Emily is wearing a sheer lace top by Johnny Was and white ruffled shorts.

This is what we call ALOT of hangers! Emily looking incredibly gorgeous in this blue and white striped embroidered blouse by Johnny Was and jeans by David Kahn and turquoise hoop earrings.

I hope that we inspired you!!

A Special THANK YOU to Brooke from Ashley Beige Photography and our beautiful model Emily Sroda for their amazing spontaneity this week!! Magic happens if you just relax and let it be and we had a blast!

“Balloons in Motion”

The snow that has fallen makes everything so incredibly beautiful. Doesn’t it make you feel like jumping for joy and appreciating this beauty all around us?

So we decided to go outside and take advantage of it!

Last week, I talked about going back to my roots. Part of what I meant was bringing back COLOR! Right now my store is filled with lots of BLACK. Trust me, I love it and it isn’t all going away but I am bringing a lot of color back in!

Our beautiful model Ashley Houser from Salon Rouge is wearing a colorful scarf from Cejon, pink crystal earrings from Chan Luu, and a darling pink flower beret and belt by Hoss Intropia.

Even though it wasn’t too cold out last Wednesday, the wind wasn’t cooperating like we wanted, but Ashley was such a trooper and held on to those balloons tight!

White acrylic gloves

This amazingly colorful dress is by Johnny Was. I have fallen in love with this line all over again. It has been awhile since I have ordered it for the store and some of my favorite pieces in my closet are from them, so I decided to look at it again when I was a market a few months ago. I stepped into the showroom after looking at the same old stuff and I was SOOOOO excited!!!! So needless to say, I have lots of great styles from Johnny Was, Biya, and For Love and Liberty. All divisions of Johnny Was. Because it was a bit chilly out, I put a white polka dot tee shirt by Comfy USA underneath the dress to give a little arm coverage for Ashley.

In this weather, we definitely need boots. I did not have any in my store that would work for this dress, so I hunted for the right color and found these by GUESS at DSW.

It was so beautiful out by the river that day even the geese seemed to be enjoying it. One particular one decided to creep up to us and check out what we were up to. Ashley decided to have a little fun with him.

Keep on smiling! Enjoy the beauty that this season offers because Spring will be here before you know it!

I hope that we inspired you!
