Spring is Afoot

Lately I’ve found myself getting lost in mountains of new spring arrivals. Despite being buried to my neck in work, it’s hard to not love the almost exclusive first look that I am able to have at all of the new product. I’ve styled dozens of new spring outfits before I’ve even written and placed […]

Viva Las Vegas

All of the photos from our buying trip to MAGIC have been uploaded and organized, FINALLY.  I can’t believe that this time last week I was in Las Vegas hanging out with the buying team and exploring what seemed like hundreds of vendor booths.  My trip seemed like a blur even though we extended our […]

When in Vegas

It’s an otherworldly city, in the middle of the desert, filled with lights, outlandish occupants, entertainment, and most importantly, Magic. I’m not referring to the David Copperfield show at MGM Grand. No, I’m referring to Magic Trade Show, and the Glik’s buying team traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada this week for the sole fashionable purpose […]

Be Mine, Valentine.

Well, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Do you have your dinner plans set?  Have you sealed your secret Valentines cards with a kiss and sent them? What about wrapping the gift(s) in pretty paper and adding dainty bows, is that done too? Despite what can commonly be assumed, Valentine’s Day doesn’t discriminate against those who do […]

Lace Get Together

Ladies and Gentlemen, that “special” day is fast approaching, so bust out your pink pens, conversation hearts, and Hallmark cards. Guys, be sure to make your dinner reservations and order those dozen roses to be delivered ahead of time so you’re not stressing out at the last minute.  Ladies, get out your finest frocks of […]

Your Perfect Angle

Chevron. There is definitely a bit of history behind this zig-zag print. It has been seen in badges, architecture, and as far back as ancient pottery, but in 2012 the chevron pattern emerged and evolved into a popular trend in the fashion scene. What more can we say? There are many fantastic qualities to behold […]

Light-Hearted Spring Style

We’re already over halfway through January and I think it is safe to say that all of us are starting to long for the sunny, sweet scented days of a Midwest spring. Today’s post is full of spring inspired pastel colors, breezy layers, and the inspiration to beat those lingering winter blues by brightening up […]

So Fresh, So Spring

Maybe it has something to do with the new year starting, out with the old in with the new, right?  It always seems like January is the time when you want to mix things up a little bit and bring some of that “newness” to your style and perspective. 2013 is still super fresh and […]

Homegrown…

With the addition of several new locations to our family, (Grand Haven & Holland, Michigan, Moberly, Missouri, and Jacksonville, Illinois) 2012 was a pretty cool year for us. Nostalgic flashback… What began in downtown St. Louis, Missouri in 1897 has grown to 60 stores in nine states. Crazy, huh? Homegrown in the Heartland of the […]

Tis the Season…

Okay, so it’s down to the wire, ONLY 4 more shoppable days til Christmas. Exciting, huh? Maybe… for most of us, BUT if you’re a true “Gifter” then you’re gifting is never quite complete until all of the stockings are SUPER stuffed (you even made a few extra…just in case), the bottoms of each of […]

What We’re Wearing for Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I’m in the mood for wearing layers to make the day a bit cozier.  I love the Uri Sweater from BB Dakota because it’s loose/flowy fit and all over southwestern pattern is eye catching. I’ve teamed a dark wash pair of Suki Jeggings with the multicolor BB Dakota sweater because I love the […]
