Animal prints continue to be big this season. One of the reasons is because they are offered in many different shapes, sizes and styles; anyone can wear animal print. If animal print makes you a little nervous, try wearing a leopard print cami or sweater under a jacket or cardigan. You're able to keep your conservative look while showing everyone a glimmer of your wild side. Another simple way to add animal to your wardrobe is with accessories like a zebra print scarf, a
Big Buddha snake skin bag or a
Vanelli animal print shoe.
At Martin's we love all animal patterns in any shape or form. This
Chocolate Leopard Blouse from
Foxcroft has a lot of possibilities like adding a slim belt, chunky tortoise jewelry and a cardigan or a chain belt, western boots and a fitted jacket. Other brands with stylish animal creations include
Karen Kane (tops),
Ruby Rd. (jackets and tops) and
Alfred Dunner (tops and skirts). So spice up your fall wardrobe with one of these simple suggestions and you will love the way you look and feel.

Personalized gifts remain one of the hottest trends in the gift industry because they say, "I took the time to look for something just for you." Nothing makes a gift more appreciated than putting a little thought and effort into it. Keeping this in mind,
Kay Dee Designs created an adorable group of initial aprons in a young and flirty polka dot print with hot pink trim. The functional front pocket has your initial embroidered on the front in a feminine font and the ruffled bottom adds the final girly element.
Surprise a future bride with a gift basket filled to the brim with kitchen gadgets, dish towels and a memorable
Kay Dee apron. She may not remember who gave her the potato masher, but she'll definitely think of you every time she slips on her apron! These aprons also make a fabulous gift for a secret sister, best friend, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law or any cooking diva!
Kay Dee offers other apron choices including a mother daughter domestic diva duo- a perfect pick me up for your favorite women!

Perfect for a frigid workplace, a chilly movie theater or an evening football game- one of our year round favorite accessories is a chic, light weight jacket. A stylish jacket shows that you took the time to assemble a look instead of digging the same old frumpy sweater or hoody out of the back of your closet. (These things have their place too, but are better left to comfy evenings at home.)
Let's consider your jacket options.
If you are on a tight budget and don't own any jackets, consider a jacket in a basic color such as black, khaki, gray or denim like
Tribal's Black Cotton Twill Jacket (to the left). It is fashionable yet basic enough to be worn to work, church, dinner or to the mall. You can layer it with tops that you already own or really punch it up with a colorful tee or tank and some funky jewelry. A classic fitted jacket in cotton twill or a sateen twill is also a great go to item to keep at home or the office.
Tribal's black jacket or a similar style will give you the most bang for your buck and will fit seamlessly into your existing wardrobe.
If you already own a variety of solid jackets or you prefer a higher ratio of bling to basic in your clothing, you might consider a patterned jacket like the ones from
Ruby Rd. (Ex. shown to the right.) We especially like
Ruby Rd. because they offer a great selection of jackets at unbeatable prices as well as coordinating pieces to go with them. Most of their jackets really pop when worn with their coordinating tops, bottoms and skirts, but will also go with items you already own. Even
Ruby Rd.'s more basic jackets have fun button and beading details so you always feel special and will stand out from the crowd.
So save that well-loved, well-worn sweater for curling up on the couch and try looking stylish and put together with a fun and affordable jacket from
ShopMartins.com!

Fall fashions are starting to arrive from our best-selling brand,
Tribal. Their rich fall palette is composed of juicy plum and blackberry, luscious
magenta, steely grays and punchy peacock blue, but our favorite piece is the
new jersey tunic in black with it's black and white trim. You can wear this simple, chic look year round with black, white or denim and a whole range of accessories.
Tribal offers a variety of other styles that we love too including the new
moleskin jackets that come in peacock blue and blackberry and have coordinating,
sleeveless mock neck sweaters. Also, their long
cardigans in blackberry and black are fun layering pieces that will keep you warm, cozy and most importantly- stylish all season long. Both colors have matching
cotton tees with a fun floral applique. Don't miss out on
Tribal's chunky sweaters and printed tops that always sell out quickly!
Although this is just a sneak preview of fall 2009
Tribal, we're confident you'll find styles you can wear both now and 3 months from now!
