Layering Lights

2012-01-13T18:37:00.010-05:00

We tend to think of pastels and nudes as "spring" colors,

reserved for the likes of Easter and days spent in gardens.

But what if those colors were worn in winter?

By layering light-weight fabrics with chunky textures

the look becomes etherial, whimsical, and warm.

Pair a long knitted cardigan with a long blazer.

(Cole Haan heels $78, Necessary Objects clutch $18, vintage necklace $18, size 8 Doncaster blazer $98, Calypso cardigan $98, Maxazria dress $88)

Throw a comfy sweater over a dress.

(Cole Haan $68, Ann Taylor handbag NEW $60, scarf $16, Improvd jacket $148, Valentino sweater NEW $198, Kristina Ti dress NEW $290)

Try putting a skirt over a dress to create versatility in your wardrobe.

(ZIGIgirl heels NEW $48, Barney's purse $220, gold&moonstone necklace $32, Ryu jacket $28, J. Crew dress worn as top $40, Haute Hippie skirt $168)

If you're unsure of Spring shades for Winter, opt for icy blue hues.

(size 11 Miu Miu heels $168, clutch $16, Trende Femme broach $25, Pashmina scarf $28, size 12 Magaschoni blazer $120, ParkVogel sweater $96, Isabel Marant shirt $98, size 6 Banana Republic skirt $14)

A New Year, a New You

2012-01-11T18:03:00.016-05:00

Have you been keeping up with your New Year's Resolutions?

We think one of the easiest to follow is simply amping up your everyday attire.

Make more of an effort in the way you dress,

and take time to create an outfit.

Whether it's running errands or going out at night,

try making simple changes or small additions to your ensemble.

Here are some of our favorite looks...

Instead of sporting old jeans and a T-shirt to run errands,

try a colored, straight/skinny jean. Loose layers with a sleek belt show your shape and keep you comfortable.

(Car Shoe handbag $288, earrings $12, size 37.5 Pucci flats $150, American Apparel vest $10, Vince shirt NEW $102, size 27T J. Crew corduroys $22)

For those who spend their afternoons in a classroom,

don't dress like you're at the gym.

Or asleep, or like it's laundry day.

Amp up the basic jeans and T with the right accessories.

Keep in mind color combinations and you'll never dress boring again.

(Louis Vuitton backpack $648, necklaces $22 & $18, bracelet by Pickles Accessories $48, size 37.5 Hollywould flats $58, Generra vest $34, Demylee shirt $26, Citizens jeans $50)

If you're a working woman play up the classics.

Black slacks and a white shirt are always chic.

Try incorporating different textures with a pop of color.

The luxe fabrics will make you feel beautiful without looking flashy.

You could even take on a signature shade, forming a Fashionista's Uniform of black, white, and your color.

(Vintage handbag $26, Nine West heels $36, vintage 50s/60's jacket $68, Jill Stuart top $88, Midi tank $18, size 6 Jenne Maac pants NEW $60)

Even your "going out" look could use an update.

There's a new way to dress up for the night; show less skin, not too flashy, and add a little edge.

Instead of a mini skirt, rock a pair of graphic skinny jeans.

Not feeling that bold? Go for black, grey, or a dark indigo.

Showing a little decolletage never hurt, and a pendant necklace elongates the body.

The best way to work it? A killer pair of heels; they add an unexpected element to your outfit and make your legs (&butt) look great!

(Louison Paris wristlet $18, Cassidy Jane necklace $40, bracelet $45, size 7.5 Nina heels $28, Obakki top $50, Siwy jeans $50)

Designer of the Month

2012-01-04T17:32:00.003-05:00

Ever heard of AH Peele?

It's a design duo consisting of AdAm and Hiromi Peele,

a cute artsy couple that met in late 2001.

Since then they've grown as a business, established their brand globally, and still hold a large fan base in the Triangle Area.

Revolver carries mainly men's clothing from AH Peele;

like hats, hoodies, and shirts,

but visit their Etsy site and you'll find various product offerings.

More information and online purchases can be found here.

BUT WAIT

We just got in some amazing new pieces from the design duo!

These amazing, one-of-a-kind gloves are dying to be your arm candy for a formal soirée.

And we've got a matching dress!

Guys, there's a super cool blazer waiting for you, too.

Know your locals.

The chance for snow becomes greater

and the chilly air puts a hop in your step.

and deck out your outerwear.

Loving the one-shoulder look!

(dress by Torn $174, ring $28, wrap bracelet $8, vintage handbag $40, size 40 heels by Tea Bags $48)

(handbag by Botkier $178, earrings $36, size 8 heels by BCBGMaxazria $60, jacket by Generra $74, top by Talbots Collection NEW $64, shorts by Stella McCartney $68)

Make Over Your LBD

2011-12-23T15:54:00.010-05:00

You've just been invited to a holiday party

and have basically no time to shop.

So you grab your fave Little Black Dress from your closet

only to realize you wore it to a previous event with the same crowd!

Of course you can't pull an outfit repeat,

but how do you change the look of one piece?

Accessories!

(Purse by Vanessa $16, ring $20, necklace by Jill's Jewels $24, belt by Carlisle $28, boots by Juicy Couture size 6.5 $98, dress by Ann Taylor size 4P $32)

Sunset Shades for Winter Days

2011-12-21T09:12:00.017-05:00

Winter blues got you wearing black?

Sick of sporting the same dark shades?

Take a look at the sky, then at your closet,

and be inspired by Sunsets.

This look is warm enough for the weather

but with colors like this you can't help but smile!

(Left: Etienne Aigner handbag $38, Nine West flats $16, vintage Edge I Wear sunglasses $20, necklace $16, Ellen Tracy size 8 coat $38, Jones New York skirt $28, TSE size M cashmere sweater $98)

If you gaze toward the sky just before dark

you're bound to see warm reds

and the subtle outline of clouds...

(Right:Hobo handbag $42, J. Crew belt NEW $28, Michael Stars scarf $16, Beverly Feldman size 8 shoes $56, Smythe jacket $220, Tracy Reese skirt $68, Neiman Marcus sweater $78)

Try a bit of color-blocking

with the colors of a sunset.

You'll end up with a more Mod look,

rather than the typical ombré interpretation.

(Left: Oliver Peoples sunglasses $120, Dooney&Bourke wristlet $18, MRKT size 8.5 heels $44, Fossil jacket $32, J. Crew sweater $48, Magaschoni size 6 pants $98)

Sunsets...Rainbows...same thing, right?

The idea is to get you wearing brights.

Recently its felt kind of like Spring,

but we all know it's Winter and that means dark shades.

Break the habit! Do something different!

Designers are already planning a Spring

of somber shades & dusty hues.

Why not turn the table both ways?

(Left: Car Shoe handbag $288, Pashmina scarf $28, ring 8$, Valentino flats $128, Missoni twin set size 44 $220, J. Crew corduroy pants $22)

Not Another Christmas Sweater!

2011-12-14T11:00:00.019-05:00

Don't raid your grandma's closet for holiday duds,

raid the Revolver closet!

We've got something for everyone this holiday season

and are ready to help you look your best for whatever parties come your way.

The traditional red & green

is perfect for a holiday fling.

Add some sugar & spice by pairing red Mary Jane's with a satin motorcycle-inspired bomber.

(Pashmina scarf $28, Hobo clutch $48, size 7 Nine West pumps $38, costume emerald ring $8, Mercer&Madison silk bomber $18, size 8 Jessica McClintock dress $58)

Whether you decorate with wreaths or menorahs,

a more conservative alternative to a cocktail dress is a luxe suit in a rich color, like this Moschino raw silk set.

(Right: size 8 Moschino jacket $200, size 10 Moschino pants $320, Banana Republic top $18, Tahari pumps $80, vintage 60's hat $36, vintage beaded handbag $18)

Metallics are a great way to show your holiday spirit!

Rather than go all out in red & green, pick one color then pile on the sparkle and shine.

(Left: Edward Ann silk skirt $60, Lauren Moffatt sweater

$78, Kenzie faux fur coat $42, Antik Batik evening bag $56, size 7.5 Donald J. Pliner pumps $88)

Feeling bold? Or maybe you're the host?

Whatever your reason, have fun by pairing unexpected shades of the traditional Christmas color scheme

(like chartreuse and cherry)

You'll be rockin' around the tree in retro style!

(Right: DNKY crushed velvet blazer $44, Etcetera velvet pants $32, size M vintage velvet bustier $8, NEW size 7.5 Dr Martins $58, Cole Haan velvet clutch $58, Amrita Singh necklace $48)

Happy Holidays!

The Changing of the Season

2011-12-09T10:44:00.023-05:00

You may have noticed a bit of Weather ADD occurring in the Triangle area.

One day it's a sunny 75 degrees, and the next we're back to frost on the ground and a high of 47.

Confused about what to wear? So were we until we came up with the perfect solution;

Pair your favorite maxi skirt from Spring with your most comfortable Fall sweater!

(Right: Benetton sweater $18, size 2 H&M skirt $12,

size L Oscar by Oscar de la Renta belt $26)

If you're more cold-natured,

trade in your Spring

skirt for a suede maxi.

We love the texture and luxe look.

(Left: Michael Simon sweater $48, size 6 vintage Illia suede skirt $36, handbag $14, Banana Republic belt $12)

Need to be more formal? Sheer and satin materials work wonders with this look, contrasting nicely with playful stripes or vintage-inspired embroidery.

(Right: Proenza Schouler sweater $66, size 6 Jessica McClintock skirt $44, revamped flower necklace $8)

(Below: NEW Lucky Brand cardigan $60, size 6 Alfred Sung skirt $56, belt $10)

P.S. To carry this look into seriously cold temperatures you can layer tights, leggings, or thermal underwear underneath. No one will know!

Meet Me at the Stables

2011-12-07T12:28:00.020-05:00

Local Love'n

2011-07-01T13:42:00.009-04:00

We are thrilled to be carrying
Erin Brown Designs jewelry in our shop!

For the Metal lovers..take a gander at these finger cuffs!!!!!

We are dreaming about her Dreamcatcher necklaces!

Her enameled designs are like glistening pieces of candy!

"...There is no greater joy than to create something with a high quality of work and that makes a woman feel beautiful. When looking at a piece of jewelry, something reaches out to you from the artist's soul and brings you in. Whether it's the randomness of a wire-worked piece reflecting the chaos we all feel inside sometimes or the uniformity and rigid control in a symmetrical earring that we all fight to exert over our lives, I feel I have touched a bit of your life when you wear a piece of mine. " ~Erin Brown

reminds us of tiny skateboards!

Who doesn't love Mr.Mustachio!?!

"There is an incredible and intangible feeling that occurs when my hands coerce what I envision out of these raw materials...to see this work emerge from small salvaged blocks, watching refinement arise from chaos, noise, and sawdust evokes the sensation that I want to convey to everyone who cherishes the incalculable and incomparable beauty of the natural world." ~Jon Pitts
