The Perfect Home Accessory

At Adelante, it's obvious we love clothes. But have you checked out our sweet home collection? I know we touched base last week with some pretty rad pillows, but beyond that, what's another way to spruce up a room you ask?---Lamps.

Lamps are a quick and easy way to greatly transform the appearance of any room. Adding color, balance, shape and texture are some of the many ways a lamp can accessorize your room!

Check out this fabulous lamp that we are currently loving in a perfectly modern meets festive pairing:

So darling! 

This lamp will brighten any room and make sure to bring a smile to your face everyday! After all, who doesn't love rainbow embroidery? I mean...really??

Adelante's Weekly Essentials

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! For this edition of Adelante's Weekly Essentials, we steer away from clothing and hop to a personal favorite of mine-perfumes. I love perfumes and I am always searching for my signature scent. If you're not familiar with Tokyo Milk's Dead Sexy Perfume, you're missing out. It is a crowd pleaser, with just enough mixture of sweet deep vanilla and exotic wood musk to pair with any occasion.  All our girls love it and we can hardly keep it in stock. Come in and see why this is the perfect scent to add to your collection. (Because let's be honest-you have a collection.) 

Small enough to carry anywhere.

Friday Night Date Night

It's Friday! You made it through the week! And as a reward for such, you deserve to go out tonight. So grab your man and head out to one of Austin's hotspots. Unsure of where to go? Try a great burger joint, maybe Hopdoddy's or Cover 3. Dinner not your thing? Just go walk up and down South Congress, the views alone make for a great place to date. For your date try something casual, but still cute. Put together, but not like you tried so hard. For example:

Adelante's own creation. 

See? How adorable. The fun orange color is a great pop of color, after all, it's a date, keep things fun! The turquoise necklace is a perfect accent. Keep that in mind, turquoise is a great staple item to compliment many colors. Then, pair the top with a great pair of khaki trouser shorts. They'll be comfy and show off some leg. :) Wave your hair, maybe add a braid and then strap on those incredible tan wedges you have and go have some fun! After all, it's Friday!

Summer Sandals

What a glorious summer day we're having today in Austin! I woke up this morning with every intention of sitting by the pool and enjoying the cloudless sunny day, and I definitely succeeded. However with all of this lounging I couldn't help but think of all the new things I'd need to get to kickstart my summer wardrobe. First and foremost is: the sandal. 

The perfect summer sandal is essential, and with all of the choices out there, it can be a daunting task. You've got the gladiators, flip flops, thong sandals, ankle strap sandals, and etc. You've got quite the choices and since you'll probably be wearing them daily, you need to think this through. I mean let's be honest, if you're going to have a crazy tan line from your sandal, it had better be a cute sandal. Am I right? 

Here are some of our favorites for the season!

1. Sam Edelman Contrast Ankle Strap Sandal, $94

2. Report Flip Flop with Disc, $41

3. Dolce Vita Knotted Thong Flat Sandal, $68

4. BC Thong Sandal, $53

Stay Stylish and happy shopping!

Off to New York!

Happy Wednesday! I have some exciting news to pick up your week! Tricia will be traveling to New York next week with the Textile and Apparel department of the University of Texas on a once in a lifetime educational adventure!

The UT in NYC program is headed by Mrs. Nancy Prideaux, a professor at UT Austin and due to great networking and amazing opportunities, the group is lead by UT visiting professor and "The Rare Bird of Fashion" herself, Iris Apfel. Iris is very well known and respected in the fashion industry, known for her unique combination of haute couture and costume jewelry.

During their time in New York they will meet with many industry leaders and get a rare chance to have a one on one interaction with powerful influencers of fashion. From design to production to public relations and marketing, the lucky students will get a comprehensive look at what it means to be in fashion.

Every year the program grows and the experiences become more unbelievable and special. Check out this video from a past UT in NYC to get a taste for what Tricia will have the pleasure of experiencing.

We are very excited for Tricia and can not wait to update y'all on how her trip went! Be looking for updates and recaps!

Tips for a Glamourous Graduation

Hello everybody! Now if you're anything like the Adelante team, you don't really need an excuse to engage in some serious shopping...but having an excuse makes it all the better (and justifies the extra lines on your credit card bill, but that's irrelevant) So today's topic of choice? Graduation! It's arrived! For all of you fabulous seniors, it's time to go out with style and say good-bye to your undergraduate life in an outfit that says, "Hello world, I'm now an adult! Look at my cute dress!" 

However, don't think you need to be graduating to engage in materialism! Friends and family of the happy graduates have more than enough reason to go out and get a new rockin' ensemble. You have to look equally stylish to join in on the celebration, and that's where WE come in. 

We've got some great dresses that will keep you cool in the hot Texas weather and keep you cool in other ways. Take a look!

Collective Concepts, $70

Karlie, $108

AaronB, $88

MM Couture, $84

Happy dress shopping everyone!
