Fashion Week Recap!! Thursday, October 12, 2017

Hi lovelies!! 

Fashion week has come and gone in the most chic cities around the world.  It is always exciting to see all of the glam...from street style of the front row guests to the runway designs.  It's all very magical!!  Some of our fav trends are pictured above.  Of course, styles walked up and down the runway can be a little intimidating but if you look at the basis of the outfit you can find the trend that is very much adaptable to your everyday style!! Let's look at some...

Velvet is the number one trend right now, and we personally can't get enough!! Of course we know you aren't going to pull out an all velvet navy blue jumpsuit (but if you do, ROCK THAT GIRL), however you can wear splashes here and there! We have some great options in store(;

Sequins and the color pink work the same way! Add splashes here and there and you will be perfectly in style!!  With holiday season coming up it will be ever so easy to wear sequins! From girls night out, date night, company parties...the list goes on! Throw on some faux fur & you'll have mixed textures ready to dazzle the night away.  

Now neutrals is the perfect trend!! Fashion "rules" have always told us that white after Labor Day is just not acceptable...especially down South.  Honey, you better be sticking to your "winter white" is what we have heard growing up.  BUT, as long as it is not linen or some eyelet fabric we say it is totally acceptable!! On the other hand if you choose to wear those during the season we say GO FOR IT!  Fashion is supposed to be limitless & your unique style is a way to show who you are!  So break the rules & go for whatever makes you feel good!! ...Back to neutrals! We are loving the simplicity of wearing your warm tones without much pattern and keeping it crisp looking! 

What trend are you loving!? Which was your favorite show...New York, London, Milan, Paris!? Tell us in the comments below!

// FALL MUST HAVES + MORE // Thursday, October 05, 2017

HEY BEAUTIES!! 

 The season has changed, but we are still not feeling it down South.  When your Fall consists of 90 degree weather you have to improvise and get creative with your wardrobe! Some staples that are a MUST would be mini skirts, breathable blouses, floral rompers, dresses, & of course accessories!  Throw on a sleeveless dress & add a hat...#FALL!  You will be cool & comfy without being too hot...well inside at least, because let's be honest...step outside in a bikini & you sweat in this weather! Pictured above is just a small sample of our amazing new arrivals for Fall and also Winter.  If you are not from around this awfully warm climate then these options still work for you!  Throw on some tights with the "short stuff" & some knee high boots & you're ready to conquer the cool temps!  

On another note, we love empowering women here at The Palm Tree Boutique! So, we have compiled a list of habits of a successful woman...because, you need to surround yourself with women you can grow with.  We will be your virtual circle(;

• She makes time for herself

• She challenges herself

• She educates herself "Educate a girl and she can change the world"

• She understands guilt, acknowledges it, and moves on 

• She smiles

• She sets goals and makes sure she achieves them

• She helps others with a genuine heart

• She empowers other women 

Thanks for following along...sending happiness to all of our kick-ass babes reading this!!

DIY VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS Thursday, January 29, 2015

As Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, many of us sit here and wonder what can we give our significant other that hasn’t already been done. If there is any holiday where we can use our creative sides, it’s definitely Valentine’s Day. This is your chance to show your special someone how much they mean to you, and what better way to do it than by making a personal gift for them. DIY has made it so easy for us to be cutesy in everything we do. Here are my three favorite ideas: 

1.     Use a mason jar and decorate the top however you think is cutest! I personally like that it says “Cheap Dates” because it’s funny and straight to the point. Inside the jar you’ll write little cards about fun and inexpensive dates the two of you could go on whenever you have date nights. Each card has a total value on it with cash paper clipped to the note. This is an adorable idea for the nights where you just don’t know what to do. Whether it’s to go out and get ice cream or rent bikes and stroll through the park, you can’t go wrong when you’re spending time together. 

2.     If your significant other is a foodie, like moi, these cupcakes are so fun. I would personally have one cupcake made and wrapped up in a box with a card that says, “You are the sprinkles to my cupcake.” Then have another box with all the ingredients already measured out with a personalized note with each ingredient. This way, the two of you could enjoy making them together over a nice bottle of wine. 

3​.     This is probably one of the cutest and most creative DIY’s I’ve seen in a while. Tie a ribbon on your door or wherever you’ll see it every day. Add a sign that says, “Kiss me countdown.” On the ribbon, tie pink, red, and silver Hershey Kisses—one for each day leading up to Valentine’s Day. Each morning, take a kiss and it’s your own personal countdown for the big day. This is so sweet and does not take a lot of time or effort, and also a good reminder for those who easily forget.

Regardless of what you choose to do, you can do no wrong on Valentine’s Day, because no matter how big or small the gift is, your significant other will love you for it. Try some of these DIY projects or come up with your own. Or if you’re anything like me, single and lovin’ it, make yourself a cupcake to accompany your Netflix marathons.

Happy Valentine’s Day! T-minus 15 days!

5 Ways to Keep Your 2015 Resolutions Friday, January 23, 2015

We are well into the new year as January is coming to a close and February is quickly approaching. By this point some may have fallen off the new year's resolution bandwagon, the trips to the gym we swore we'd take, the investments we said we'd make into ourselves may not be working out quite like we hoped they would. Or maybe you're rocking the new year and staying on track, good for you! If you're like me, you might be struggling to keep yourself in check in 2015. Here are my tips for staying accountable and accomplishing everything you want to in 2015. 

1. Write it down.

I personally have a tendency in my busy day to day life to forget things that are not labeled as a "priority" in my daily schedule and list of things to do. Writing down the things I want to accomplish for the day like adding "Go to the gym" in the middle of my schedule helps me not get too caught up in my workday that I forget to have some "me" time. Plus it is oh so satisfying to check that off my list each day. 

2. Make it easy.

I have found that one of the biggest stumbling blocks in keeping up with my resolutions is myself. For example one of my goals this year was to drink more water everyday. I quickly found out that I hate having to break my concentration every 30 mins or so to get a new bottle of water, and this stopped me from reaching my daily goal. To make it easy for me to drink water continuously throughout the day I bought the biggest mason jar cup I could find (48oz of pure hydration people!), I knew the more convenient it was for me to take a sip throughout the day the more I was likely to do it. Plus the cup was really adorable and I just couldn't resist. 

3. Make it a treat.

Just like with the mason jar cup I mentioned above, making the task you are trying to accomplish a treat for yourself will help you feel more positive towards the situation. So instead of telling yourself "I have to go to the gym today" like it's a chore, rephrase it in a way that is positive. "I get to have some 'me' time at the gym today." Perspective is everything. 

4. Take a break. 

Try not to make the mistake of burning yourself out in the first few months of the year. Intensity is not a bad thing, just don't overdo it. Instead try to create habits that will not only last you throughout 2015 but many years after. Think of it as muscle training, before you know it working out, eating healthy, or even drinking more water will be natural and easier part of everyday life. Slow and steady y'all! 

5. Try something new.

I don't know about you but I tend to get bored pretty easily. Changing it up every once in awhile helps keep your goals fresh and fun, variety is the spice of life after all isn't it.

One way I implement this into my water drinking goal is by making fruit infused waters when I get tired of plain water. Join a class or eat something you might not normally try, whatever your goal is you can find something to make it an experience rather than a bore. 

Bonus! 6. Reward yourself. 

You deserve it! Even if your new year's resolution this year was to sleep more you deserve a little something for making it this far. Go treat yo' self!
