A Dress to Impress: Jack by BB Dakota

24 Feb

It’s time to thin out your closet! Get your heavy sweaters, thick socks, long underwear and snow boots consolidated into a small box labeled ‘Winter Storage’ and make room. Even though that silly sun keeps playing peek-a-boo with the seemingly constant overcast clouds and teasing us with warmer ‘ish’ temperatures, we all know; spring is coming.

So, get out your gardening tools, because BB Dakota and Jack by BB Dakota dresses are beginning to blossom at Glik’s in this Spring’s hottest trends; vivid colors, delicate laces, quirky prints and flirty stripes!

Walk the line:

 Whether Chevron, Missoni, Mitered, or Shadow, a hot print trending this spring is stripes. The Jack by BB Dakota Lund Dress is a wonderful example of fashion’s fun power when you pair a super trendy horizontal strip print with vivid island colors of medallion yellow & surf blue.  Then, put it on a feminine flirty fit-n-flare dress. A fashionista’s best friend is her cardigan, so have fun with this pleated dress while the weather is still slightly cool by pairing it with tights, a cute pair of flats and a cute skinny belt.

Seeing Spots:

 This spring you’ll see a refreshing take on a classic trend with polka dots. These playful circles are simple yet youthful.  Have fun with this quirky print like Jack by BB Dakota did when they introduced the Cruz Dress in all it’s brightly colored, chiffon glory. Pair this oh-so-sweet frock with cute socks, spring inspired wedges and your fav-cropped sweater or don a fun blazer.

I bet you can when you’re in a vividly bright, body con dress like the Jemma Dress from Jack by BB Dakota’s Spring 2012 line.  Think bold when you’re in this BB Dakota dress, pair it with color block platform heels and a cropped jacket or blazer, but go minimal on the accessories since you don’t want to overload your look.

Show a Little Leg: Silver Jeans Denim Shorts and Capris

22 Feb

Shorts; you know them, you love them, the word may conjure thoughts of warm weather, shaved legs, and sun-kissed skin, but for some of us, slight panic attacks might bubble up.  While any ‘model-skinny’ girl can throw on a pair of denim shorts without a second thought (lucky), the rest of us ‘normal’ girls can be a little insecure about baring so much skin. Don’t worry! There is another word that we are all familiar with, capris! You wore their denim jeans in winter. Now, you can enjoy all the various wash values, unique embroidery, and great fits that Silver Jeans Co. has to offer in denim shorts or denim capris for this Spring/Summer.

So, whatever your desired length, with warm weather on its way, denim shorts & capris are beginning to make public appearances more frequently. So besides working out, which is always a healthy hobby to have, here are some ideas that may prove helpful.

Still need a tan? Don’t harm your skin by fake-baking it. The higher powers have granted your sun seeking skin it’s wish!  They’re called, denim capris and Silver Jeans has an angel named Suki sent to your aid. She is the most popular fit, featuring a mid-rise, curvy fit that’s relaxed through the hip and thighs. The Suki capri is a perfect answer to you leg’s prayers when paired with the powers of tinted lotion. Let just a pop of skin out to play when you wear your denim capris with fun fashion flats and your choice of trendy tops.

A classic blazer can do wonders: Love them, dress them up with a quirky chiffon blouse or dress them down with a casual top. A trendy blazer will add so many more possibilities to a pair of women’s denim shorts. Try the Suki denim short from Silver Jeans, it’s super comfy feel, varied wash values and mid-rise, relaxed fit assures that you can spend more time worrying what to wear with that blazer than tugging at your bottom hem. Guess what, just in case you prefer a longer length, Silver Jeans also makes a Suki denim capri.

Step into a trendy pair of heels or wedges: Don’t’ worry about calling Harry Potter to ask if you can barrow his wand. Once you’ve slipped into your favorite pair of Silver Jeans Co denim shorts or denim capris, just go to your closet and pick out your favorite pair of cute heels or spring inspired wedges. Any height will do the trick. Voila! This works, because it creates the illusion of longer legs.

Tights: Love them! Tights are awesome! They come in varying colors, patterns and can be so versatile. Wear them with boots, heels, socks, a high waist hem, raw edge cut-offs or rolled cuffs and match them with dressy, casual and quirky tops, you name it, tights can do it.  An always-classic way to approach wearing them is by picking a chic black pair and rocking them under a pair of denim shorts. The styling options are endless.

Where is the Love? (Lucy Love)

16 Feb

Fashion starts oh-so simply with an idea.

In 1999, that idea was a fashion line geared toward the feminine, as well as, free-spirited twenty-something girl, and it was called Lucy Love. This family owned line found its roots in Newport Beach, California and remains there today. Lucy Love is owned and operated by the Sharp family, who has had their hands in the fashion industry since the early 1980’s. Fashion designer and mother, Holly Sharp took her years of knowledge in the fashion world and teamed up with her daughter, Amber to create a line “by girls, for girls”.

Lucy Love is for that girl who passionately lives her free- spirited lifestyle surrounding the beach, who doesn’t just dress for a day on the sand at the water’s edge.

 “The whole point is to dress the girl for her entire day,” explained by Holly Sharp. “When she buys into a brand, she wants it all. And she doesn’t live in board shorts and T-shirts. She’s much more intelligent than that.”

Lucy Love is a line that is designed to give girls confidence, it’s important to have that in ourselves ladies! What we choose to wear plays a HUGE role in the way we feel about ourselves, more often than not, what and how we wear our clothing conveys our very mood. There are many tools used in fashion. But, the most important tool it possesses is the illusion it gives!

The mother/daughter designer team that makes up Lucy Love recognizes this.  Amber Sharp has admitted that she designs the various pieces that make up a Lucy Love fashion collection to “mirror various moods” for particular days.  Her approach to designing Lucy Love clothing allows for each different fashion piece to “embody and empower” every girl’s mood, cool right?

If you’re feeling light-hearted slip into something like the ultra feminine, flirty striped Gabriel dress from Lucy Love. This SUPER chic dress is as unique as you are!

Embrace the ocean wind as it tickles your skin through the dainty, sheer material and lifts your heart! Let it play with the delicate layers of this stylish loose flowing dress from Lucy Love.  Seize the day in the Gabriel striped dress and a cute pair of strappy sandals.

Let your confidence shine as brightly as the sun and hold tight to your rare style in the Lucy Love Villa mini dress.  Feel your colorful emotions freely and wear them for the world to see in this belted dress.

Each person you meet will taste a different flavor of your colorful personality. Paired with strappy sandals and boho inspired jewelry, the Villa mini dress by Lucy Love, as well as, you are a colorful and daring work of art!

            The Gabriel dress doesn’t just come in Lucy Love’s uniquely striped design. It’s colors range like your style.  Going for a 60’s vintage look? Try the Lucy Love Gabriel dress in white.

You’re a free-spirited soul, born of the wind and wearing your heart where your head should be. Fly with confidence, little lady dove, letting the chiffon layers and billowing 3/4 sleeves of the Gabriel dress be your wings. Have peace in your mind and love in your heart for all who you come in contact with when you wear this ethereal white dress from Lucy Love. Your kind heart will be full of warmth and you will glow in this dress when you pair it with a dainty pair of sandals or espadrille detailed platform wedges and delicate jewelry.

            Let your personality blossom like a spring flower in this elegant Vineyard dress by Lucy Love. You are a vibrant and vivacious flower whose charisma smells as sweet as the dainty roses you are wearing.

Your graceful steps down the beach will turn heads and lift hearts when you pass by wearing the floral print Lucy Love dress. The Vineyard dress’s exaggerated high-low hem ruffles softly around your sun-kissed legs and your elasticized waist with adjustable self-tie creates a lovely blouson silhouette that flows as freely as your soul when the sea breeze licks by you. Pair this exquisite chiffon dress with a cute pair of sandals or spring inspired wedges and let your aura glimmer like dew drops on a flower’s petal in the sunlight.

The Boardshort Breakdown. Billabong’s Style

14 Feb

Hey guys and gals, Spring is just around the corner, with Summer close behind. That means sunshine, warm weather, and most fun of all, water activities! Whether you live on a sandy beach, have a boat docked on your nearest local lake, or get your recreational water sport kicks on the mighty Mississippi river, a man’s best friend in the water is a pair of great performance boardshorts!

It’s quite evident that Billabong shares our love of the water as shown by their super cool “Life is Better in Boardshorts,” 2012 campaign!

Billabong’s humble beginning started when Gordon Merchant began producing handmade boardshorts with his wife Rena in 1973 from their house in Burleigh Point, Australia. This cherished tropical refuge of Gordon’s was a place where you could wear boardshorts all year round.  Merchant, also a surfer himself, as well as, a board shaper, wanted to develop boardshorts that not only provided the best fit and quality, but could also withstand the various elements that surfers encountered while out in the water.  His business found an instant following, the boardshorts being produced by the Merchants proved to possess amazing performance and resilience in the water, due to the triple-stitching technique developed by Gordon.

Now, fast-forward to 2012 where Billabong is an international company known and respected for its dealings in the boardsport industry.  But, even through all its growth since 1973, Billabong continues to “keep it real,” and maintain its roots by continuing to uphold its commitment to global boardsports through event hosting and sponsoring industry athletes.

So, for Billabong, life really is better in boardshorts! What better way to prove this than with their Platinum X and Recycler Series. The really cool thing about the Recycler series is that the boardshorts are made from recycled PET bottles. So like, Billabong says “Innovation through performance and conservation.”

So, let’s meet Billabong’s Influence boardshort. This men’s striped boardshort packs all of the high-performance details you need into one style punch!  And by style, we’re referencing the really cool screen print/color combo this short is donning!

The Billabong Men’s Influence boardshort features:

  • Zero Gravity fabric, which is an exclusive Billabong fabric that uses Quad X Stretch (four-way stretch) to boost flexibility in all directions.
  • H2 Repel, this technology forces water to bead off the surface of the fabric. This equals less rash/chaffing.
  • Ergonomic Panels, for maximum stretch, any yoga instructor can’t compete with.
  • Recycled ZG fabric, made with recycled PET bottles and saving the environment on pair of boardshorts at a time.
  • Welded Seams, stretch 100% with the fabric, creating smooth, comfortable seams.

Also from Billabong is the Men’s Striker boardshort.  This super functionally fun boardshort sports a horizontal multi stripe design, a solid contrast waistband, is scalloped and features side taping.  It looks really cool in this mint, black and white color combo!

The Billabong Men’s Striker boardshort features:

  • PX4- Hydrostretch
  • Quad X Stretch (4-way mechanical stretch)
  •  H2 Repel, a moisture wicking finish that reduces water absorption and friction
  • 100% Recycled Polyester
  • 20” Performance Fit
  • PX Infinity Weld, meaning less seams to maximize the fabric’s full stretch potential

Feel like “the Dude” in the Billabong Men’s Vantage Platinum X boardshort! The color combo of blue, aqua, yellow and black make the geometric print pattern really POP. The Billabong wave logo chilling on the left leg versus the horizontal striping on the right gives this boardshort it’s own style.

Not forgetting Billabong Men’s Vantage Platinum X boardshort’s awesome features:

  • Made of Recycler Zero Gravity fabric, that is lightweight and preferred by athletes, because of it’s extreme flexibility and stretch.
  • Part of the Recycler Series, boasting an 87% recycled polyester/ 13% spandex ratio, packing performance and conservation into each pair of boardshort.
  • H2 Repel, moisture wicking to prevent chafing.
  • Quad X Stretch (4-way stretch)

Love them like you love your dog, boardshorts are truly man’s best friend this summer. Glik’s is here to provide you with top-notch performance boardshorts for your active summer season! Be sure to visit us at gliks.com or any Glik’s store location nearest to you.

Put Some Heart Into Your Valentine’s Date Outfit

30 Jan

You woke up early, added some pep to your step and have experienced random bursts of the giggles. Valentine’s Day–it’s finally here, and you have a sweetheart!  All cards, chocolate and flowers aside, you’ve got a date tonight, and it’s time to decide what to wear.

Your mission: find bold, flirty, body-loving pieces you feel capital-H hot in.

  • You know he loves you in jeans, but … what to wear with them that will make you look special? Try something stylish and sporty.  So, he is simple guy and thinks you look your very sexy best in a plain white tee. Try making that a slightly fitted v-neck donned under a classy blazer from Hello Miss  found at Glik’s. Then, match a pair of trendy heels with your Flying Monkey  jeggings, and don’t forget to make a statement with your accessories. Be the light at the end of his tunnel in a neon scarf .

 

  • Looking for that dream-worthy kiss? Behold the power of a basic black and white dress. This gorgeous frock by Lucy Love found at Glik’s online highlights your flirty feminine side. Pump up the romance with heels and elegant jewelry. Let his eyes linger during dinner at your luscious lips that are as red as the dozen roses he sent you.

 

  • Want to show off your best feature? Oh, your legs, there they are. You know he loves them, and why not? You’re proud of them too. Highlight those gems with a short patterned skirt. Check out this two-toned skirt by Poof . You can totally pull it off! Wear a mischievous lace camisole tucked under that sheer blouse  and keep the accessories simple. It won’t just be the conversation hearts talking tonight.

 

  • Let him lust for you in lace. From the boudoir to the dance floor, lace is the connecting thread. Tug at his heart strings, and let your style define itself by wearing this hip lace back top from Glik’s with your skinny jeans and some boots. I’m a fan of the Suki skinny by Silver jeans. They are super flattering on everyone and have a comfortable yet trendy fit.  Defy his expectations when you wear lace by avoiding the neutral route; black screams sex appeal especially paired over your color pop Candy Rain tank.

 

  • Don a flirty color pop dress. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Go have fun, and while you’re both at it make sure he can’t take his eyes off of you in a dazzling color burst dress. There is nothing brighter than orange this season and you can be confident that he’ll see only you in this mod new Flounce Pleat Dress by Lush from gliks.com. If orange isn’t daring enough for you, go for a blast of yellow. You’ll be all aglow in this vibrant dress from BB Dakota. Slip into a pair of fashionable flats or color block wedges and dance your way into his heart.

 

Thank you Dr. Seuss for saying “When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”  Valentine’s Day comes once a year, so make it memorable.

A Taste of Lace: The Dos and Don’ts of the Season

25 Jan

Once reserved for wedding gowns, lingerie, and that favorite dress you wore to prom. Lace embraces all things ultra feminine and is making itself known this season. We are seeing lace embellishments, overlays, and edgings.  Along with lace apparel, crochet has been making a name for itself lately.  Whether it is crochet dresses, crochet tops, or pops of crochet trimmings, you will be seeing a lot of it.

This timeless “pretty-girl” go-to fabric has made its mark through the years. But, if you are just gaga over lace, save yourself from going on a date in granny’s shawl, or asking to borrow her doily collection for your dress.  Fear not girls!!! We’re here to lend some helpful hints to get you into more boyish cuts, throw in a splash of color, and add some unexpected accents.

Do: Accessorize

It’s not just lace dresses that are all the rage at the moment. Everyday items such as blouses and skirts have also had a dash of lace added to them. You will also notice that handbags as well as women’s lace shoes will be a must have! Lace is even being used in jewelry.

Don’t: Go for Lace Overload

Just because you’re feeling super girlie, you don’t want to choose to wear lace from head to toe. Avoid wearing lace on lace. For example, if you were going to wear lace tights this would look better with a simple dress. You want to look stylish not silly.

Do: Opt for Pops of Lace

A lacy touch gives a simple dress or camisole an instant chic injection.  Let your lace fabric play peek-a-boo from under a playful top. Because it’s a sheer textile, a popular way to wear lace is as an overlay. Pair it with a small strappy slip or camisole! Let the lace fall just beyond your slip or show off its delicate design on your bare shoulders.

Don’t: Choose Just Neutral Tones

While black, cream, and white are classic lace colors, don’t limit yourself. Fashion is not dead ladies, so we shouldn’t look like we’re in mourning!!

Do: Experiment with Color

Spark up your lace by adding a bright color. Try a neon pink camisole to wear underneath your black lace top, or switch it up and wear your bright pink lace over a neutral tone.

Don’t: Go Granny

We’ve seen the old wedding photos, watched her crochet the doilies, and at some point helped beat the dust out of her curtains. Just because it’s a trend, doesn’t mean you need to go raid her closet.

Do: Look for Lace Clothing in Casual Shapes and Contemporary Cuts.

Elevate a simple t-shirt by opting for one in a lace pattern. Jeans and a tee never looked this good. Feel like you’re a bit of a free spirit; add a crochet accent in the form of a vest.

Done right, it’s the perfect mix of sweet and sexy. Done wrong, it’s a bedspread or a skin condition. As always, Glik’s offers you the latest in lace styles. Add these items to your wardrobe and you will be all grace in lace this season.

{Speed Racer} Men’s Fox.

18 Jan

Fox is a globally renowned brand that offers amazing quality and performance merchandise. A family owned business since its humble beginnings, Fox Racing has quickly risen to the top of the industry.

Moto-X Fox was launched by founder Geoff Fox as a small distribution business for European motocross bikes in Northern California in 1974. Two years later, the company expanded and began to manufacture high-performance suspension and engine components for racers.

In 1977, Team Moto-X Fox was created. They met with success early on, with their riders taking the top five in their first year. Beyond that, Team Moto-X Fox impressed American motocross fans in a way that was not initially intended. Wearing bright red, yellow, and orange race suits that were hand-made by Fox, they became an instant hit; enthusiasts and fans feverishly contacted Moto-X Fox for availability.

Fox Racing has become the world’s leading motocross apparel brand, going on to sponsor, support, and work with some of the best motocross riders in the world. Since its inception, Fox Racing has been committed to developing the finest sports gear, apparel, accessories, footwear, and sunglasses with the racer in mind. Dominating the motocross scene, MX riders now look to Fox for innovative designs.

Fox Racing has become an international leader in the action sports and sportswear industry, going far beyond its initial focus of motocross, but branching out to BMX, MTB, skateboarding, surfing, and wakeboarding.

With professional athletes endorsing the Fox Racing head logo, Fox Racing has become a household name and will continue to be a staple for the racing and action sports industry. By embracing its family owned values and grassroots tradition, Fox Racing transcends the industry and will continue to create products with the highest quality, performance, and design.

{Neon} Blinded By The Bright.

17 Jan

If there was one predominant trend saturating the runway during Fashion Week in New York, it had to be NEON. Vibrant colors in general are huge for Spring 2012, but the hues most designers fell in love with were bright and bold NEON’S. Although neon is often used as an accent color, this season you will find neon tops, neon dresses, neon skirts, neon shoes, and neon accessories.

So say hello to the 80’s because they are officially back! Okay, so you haven’t sported neon in over 20 years? Worried about looking as though you stepped out of a Boy George video? All you need to do is work these colors in your outfits properly, so it looks interesting and not too flamboyant. We have you covered!

Neon Fashion Tip #1: Start Off Small

If you are a little uneasy as to how to work these bright colors in your closet, why not start off small? Work a bright pink neon tank into your casual Friday look, or wear neon colored jewelry to your trustworthy black attire. For example, wearing a sexy little black dress tonight? Skip the basic black pumps and work in neon blue pumps. Wearing neon colored accessories will add a hint of color and personality to any outfit. For even a smaller start, paint on some summer color on your nails instead of the normal pales and pastels.

Neon Fashion Tip #2: Shy Away From Accessories

When you are wearing a brightly colored fluorescent top, it is typically protocol to keep the accessories minimal. Bright clothing with overly bright accessories will look too chaotic. Another good tip is to avoid matching the same accessory color with the same color in your outfit. Stay away from neon orange jewelry, shoes or purses when you’re already wearing a neon orange dress. Simple!

Neon Fashion Tip #3: Bring in the Neutral Colors

When wearing a bright colored shirt or a bright colored skirt, it is best to try to pair the item with a neutral color. Don’t try to work a neon top with a neon bottom. Instead wear neon bottoms with a white blouse. Black also looks super fab with vibrant hues. When you’re wearing a neon pink dress, work in your favorite black pumps or sandals instead of wearing pink on your tootsies. The neutral colors will help balance out your look.

Depending on your body shape, neon can be less attention grabbing on either the bottom or the top. Experts recommend trying out several different styles and colors before deciding on what works best on you!

Remember: Don’t be afraid of color embrace it! Color can be very flirty and fun, so start shopping! There are many ways to work neon into your closet; check out a Glik’s store nearest you or www.gliks.com for the hottest new styles of neon.

{Jeggings} Ways to Wear Them.

13 Jan

After knowing what jeggings are, and making the vow to find them in every color, you might need some tips on how to style them! There are several different looks that you can create with jeggings by pairing them with different styles of tops, footwear and accessories.

To Look Cool…
If you want to sport a cool, casual look, wear jeggings with a loose, long top. Wear a beaded necklace, a pair of ballet flats and carry an over-sized hobo bag. You can wear this look on the daily no matter if you heading to class or on your next trip to the market!

To Look Hot…
If you are blessed with a good figure, wear your jeggings with sky-high platform pumps, an statement clutch and a silk dolman top tucked in. If you are on the heavier side, wear an empire style top with your jeggings as it will give out the illusion of a thin waist!

To Look Trendy…
If you want to follow Hollywood, pair up your jeggings with knee-high boots, or if you are brave, thigh-high boots. Wear a long comfy v-neck tee and finish it off with a tailored blazer. This three layered look along with the super sexy boots will definitely make many heads turn in your direction!

To Look Sporty…
For those of you who want a casual, sporty look, pairing the jeggings with sneakers and a loose, long t-shirt or a cute sweatshirt is a good idea. Of course, you can always enhance this particular look by adding sneaks or tops in crazy colors or those displaying bold and comical quotes.

Kick off your weekend right and go grab a pair today!  Give yourself a complete fashion makeover, after all, who doesn’t love shopping? Visit a Glik’s store nearest you or shop online at www.gliks.com.
