French Connection does it AGAIN!

French Connection....their clothes are a gift from God! As I have said in many blogs before, they are one of my favorite lines! Their fit is always on target and their designs are always unique! We have gotten in so many great things from this clothing line lately! Their angel-winged collection is one of my new loves.....

I LOVE all of the pieces in this "Winter Wings" story! The black sweatshirt is a beautiful top! With the winged sequin detail on the shoulders, and the sparkling applique on the front, it gives this true sweatshirt top a unique and flashy appeal! I love it when you find a cute sweatshirt that was made into a beautiful piece of fashion! It's so easy to wear those things when you don't want to look overdressed, but still want to remain the most trendy & chic gal at the gathering! The Iron Eagle dress is AMAZING in person! So much detail goes into this dress! You have the most perfectly balanced mixture of metal and sequins, making it so easy to funk this one up, or wear it for a cocktail occasion! Throw a leather jacket over this girl and you have a hot-to-trot look! And the Winter Wings Tee...I love my unique tee's!! The sequined applique make this cream tinted tee stand out! The deep v-neck on this one allows you to steam up your look (pair it with skinny's and heels), or throw a black tank on underneath if you want to tone down the steam a little:-) The fit of this one is a little more relaxed, letting your look come off as super edgy and fun! I can't get enough of all these pieces, or French Connection!

This is a MAJOR employee favorite, and may be my most favorite piece EVER by French Connection.....EVER!! This is leather done at it's best! I don't think I have even seen a celebrity in magazines wear one cuter than this! For me, black leather has to be a little "girlie" for me to feel trendy in it. It's easy to give off the punkish vibe, but kind of hard to feel "cutesy". This jacket makes every look so easy to pull off! The cropped length and sleeve makes it easy to pair with dresses and tops...but the semi-puff shoulders, oh yes the shoulders, give this jacket the AAAHH factor! It looks amazing on EVERYONE who has tried it and is definitely the most CUTEST piece of leather artwork I have EVER seen!

Happy Saturday Shoppers!

Studs & Sparkle Alert!

What's hot for now AND this upcoming fall season? Studs & sparkle! The glitz and glam did get put on the trend backburner for a few seasons, but it is hot & heavy again! It started making its comeback this past fall...and now....its taking over the fashion world for SUMMER AND WINTER! The red carpet has been overloaded with the studs and sparkle recently & the fashion runways for fall overflowed with loud, vibrant, and beautiful blinding pieces!

The great thing about this trend is that most pieces you buy now, you can take into fall and holiday as well! Getting 2 seasons out of one piece/trend is a very smart style choice (as far as budgeting goes)! McAuley's LOVES fashion statements made with loud and shiny pieces! The studs & sparkle has ALWAYS been our favorite, probably because it is the trend closest to our "personal" personalities:-). Check out a few of our pieces in the store that would be PERFECT picks! We will have this kind of stuff coming in all fall as well!

This amazing dress by French Connection is brand new! It is not on our website yet so if you love it, e-mail us and we will get you the info and sizing on it! This amazing double lined, linen dress, has the most beautiful beading and sequin detail EVER! The color is more close to an off white than a pure white, which makes it PERFECT for now...or the best holiday party dress ever!

This is another amazingly beautiful new dress from French Connection! It is also a cream color, not white as it appears. It has beautiful studs that cover it, front and back! The sequin detail at the neckline is stylish and unique, and the shorter length and more snug fit make it a fun and sexy piece! This is my personal pick for this New Year's Eve! (It reminds me so much of Kim Kardashian!) This one isn't on our site yet either, so if you love...let us know!

This strapless red corset dress, by Jovani, is perfect for a cocktail or formal occasion! The sparkle and lace detail makes it extremely unique and trendy...not to mention the red hot color that men seem to LOVE!

This Night Dress, by Nanette Lepore, is an employee fav! With the "two-piece" effect, this dress can be pulled off with pumps (and tights if in cooler weather) for a fun night out, or with strappy heels for a cocktail event! Throw a blue jean or leather jacket over this girl for a fun and casual night out with the girls!
