“Grunge” 2013

The whole grunge movement put Kate Moss on the map. The high with the low, wearing whatever you  feel like.  Effortless dressing.  Building around that one key piece feels refreshingly modern.

Inspiration: Golden Goose Biker Boot

Current Obsession: Kate Moss for Rag & Bone

It’s the season for wearing Spring 2013 Collections from our favorite designers. We are obsessed with the always stunning Kate Moss and Rag & Bone. When it was time to release their Spring 2013 Campaign featuring Kate, the Rag & Bone looks made our hearts skip a beat!

A Little Black Dress for Every Occasion

Coco Chanel in her LBD- credited by many to be the inventor of the first little black dress.

“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.”

-Karl Lagerfeld

Inspired by Vogue’s article “What to Wear Where”, along with all the wonderful LBDs we currently have in store, this week we put together three simple looks each featuring a timeless black dress suitable for three very different occasions.

Free People’s Mystic Oracle dress is fun and funky, perfect for a weekend night out in Old Town.

Elizabeth and James New Kimono dress is perfect for strolling through galleries on First Friday.

 

The amazingly elegant and utterly timeless Micha dress from A.L.C. is sure to stun at black tie events or an evening spent at a play in Denver.

Whatever the occasion Tula is sure to have the perfect little black dress.

How To: Mix ‘n’ Match For Fall

It is a fact that we are constantly looking for something new for each season, event, party, concert…really any occasion we can buy something new for.

So why don’t we see anything that goes together in our closet?

We sometimes don’t think about all the possibilities when it comes to our clothes…mixing and matching, what colors go together, what colors don’t go together,accessorizing…it can seem like a daunting task.

Deb, our style expert, is here to save the day, in her first of many “how to’s”

This week? How to style your fall outfit, learn to mix and match!

Step 1: Put on some pants (on our lovely mannequin, the Free People Destroyed Skinny Cord is the perfect fall color-oxblood!)

Step 2: Add a shirt (we chose NSF Quintin Plaid Shirt)

Step 3: it’s fall, add a sweater! (like our two way A.L.C. Open Back Sweater)

Step 4: Deb felt too matchy-matchy, so she switched pants. (She chose Hudson Nico Mid Rise Super Skinnys)

Step 5: Need to re think the entire outfit? Try a light denim jacket as a shirt; it’s casual and it will totally change your look ( like our Mother The Bully Jacket)

Step 6: Try another sweater that you’ve been wanting to show off but haven’t found the right outfit (like our super cozy rag & bone Amy Pullover)

Step 7 (hang on, we’re almost there): Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!! (One of our fun Remi and Reid Beyond Neon Belts is sure to start conversation)

Don’t be too serious with your look, roll up your sleeves, loosen the belt…the possibilities are endless!

Step 8: Find your favorite booties ( these rag & bone Kenton booties are to die for)

Annnnd…..voila! Finished product:

Looks like you’re ready for fall….

If not, come see Deb. She’ll be sure to give you a head to toe styling lesson.

And the Cold Wind Blows

It’s getting chillier by the minute! We’re all grabbing our jackets from storage and entering the fabulous and fashion forward season of fall.

Here at Tula, we have been preparing for this exciting time of year with great new ways to mix fashion and warmth; jackets, sweaters, scarves, belts, and anything else you would want to layer on so that you can see how it’s done and get some ideas before the cold really hits.

Our forever comfortable 7 For All Mankind jeans paired with this Elizabeth & James jacket that can be draped like a shawl for a cozy daytime look or buttoned like your favorite blazer to go out in. Add a button down like this Elizabeth & James Josh Shirt and some great fall booties (we just got these Rag & Bone Kenton Boots in, aren’t they ahhhh-mazing??) and your fall wardrobe is ready to be shown off!

Another must-do outfit when this weather is still transitioning from last days of summer is this Rag & Bone Lisbeth Jacket (which feels more like the warm sweater your drape on every cold morning) with classic J Brand Cut Off Shorts. Throw on a perfect tee like this ¾ sleeve Clu top with a pair of riding-esque Golden Goose Charlye Riding Boots, and finish off with a statement accessory like our unique Samanca Jewelry necklace to make sure your end of summer look is unforgettable.

As fall approaches faster and faster (that one day of snow took the thought of summer right out of my mind), make sure you’re ready to face the cold and your friends in style- so come in and see us ! Our girls are experts on styling the newest trends for a look that is 100% you (at your most fabulous).
