Think Spring!

2012-01-25T15:54:00.000-06:00

As much as some of us enjoy snow angels, hot cocoa, and toasty nights by the fire – let’s be honest – there’s something about the thought of spring being just around the corner that brightens us up! We thought, why not give you a sneak peak of what’s to come when that big ball in the sky turns warmer, and also let you pick your favorite look to go with the new life that spring brings (to your wardrobe)!

Kick off spring style with cute wedges, brightly colored swimwear and denim crops in your favorite washes.

Winter Packlist: All The Essentials

2012-01-10T15:40:00.003-06:00

This winter, leave the packing to the professionals. Focus on keeping it streamlined and therefore, making it as easy as possible (especially if you're like some of us who leave the packing until the morning of departure).

Keep your layers lightweight and versatile. Case in point, a long sleeve t-shirt in a dark or neutral color is ideal - the more ways to wear it means the more space you'll save for the extras you just can't bear to leave behind. Bring in some color and function with a great hoodie (try one of our favorites from Billabong, Hurley or Fox)! I mean, just think of all those times when the climate control is out of your control- cars, planes, restaurants, etc.

And, don't forget the little things, as they are often the ones that make a difference. Example: late nights followed by early mornings beg for some sunglasses - go undercover with the perfect pair of mirrored lenses! Stay on top of your schedule with a sleek and easy to read digital silicone watch. And, no matter the distance or mode of travel, never leave home without a pair of headphones.

Last but not least, you're going to need a place to stash all of your stuff. We recommend scoping out the Hurley Honor Roll Duffle Bags. They're extra durable to survive the wear and tear of life on the road.

With your packing list this clean and concise, you won’t have an excuse not to bring back souvenirs! Happy travels!

Sales On!

2012-01-04T15:22:00.001-06:00

It's day five of the new year and we are just getting around to making those resolutions. (Ok, so we drug our feet a little - at least we're doing them now!)We conducted one of our HIGHLY scientific polls around the office to find out what changes everyone is hoping to make for 2012.

One that always gets a nod is a more healthy & active lifestyle. Luckily, we have the gear to make you look good on your journey there. With brands to choose from like Puma, Nike, Hurley and Roxy, to name a few, we have both guys and gals covered!

Some of the ladies are focused on elevating their style with the help of a great pair of heels, others are experimenting with that mixed prints trend (like animal, florals and southwestern-inspired pieces), that we love so much. Some are even reinventing their total look by going from basic to boho or from rocker to girly – transformation station!

And of course we had to get a read on what the guys were thinking – they had their own thoughts on fashion resolutions too. Simple tweaks like adding accessories to their look or trying new fits in jeans were top contenders.

Across the board, the most popular resolution was to be financially healthier in 2012. Help keep your budget in check with the help of our massive sale on buckle.com. Check out the great deals below.

What are your resolutions for 2012?

Party-Ready Pieces

2011-12-29T16:12:00.001-06:00

To keep it simple, we’ve narrowed it down to your top 3 game changers for New Year’s-

1- It’s a new year, so now would be the perfect time to find a new favorite jean to add to your collection. Shop within your favorite brands like BKE, Rock Revival, and Big Star; or update your fit. For instance, if you normally rock a pair of Tyler’s, try one of the new Tyson’s that have just rolled out!

2- As always, keep it classy! Check out the awesome selection of long sleeve button front shirts from Roar, Buckle Black, and Affliction to get your look just right.

3- Sport a watch. It will help complete the look and keep your night on track long after your phone dies.

1- Let’s start with the obvious. New Year’s Eve is a girl’s best excuse to sparkle and shine so think sequins, sequins, and more sequins!

2- Of course, no outfit is complete without a killer pair of heels. Look for the latest from Jessica Simpson, Naughty Monkey, and BKE Sole.

3- The best way to set yourself apart and let your personality shine thru is with your accessories. So bring it on and pile on the necklaces, rings, and bracelets!
