Grace & Lace Gift Card Giveaway

Grace & Lace Gift Card Giveaway 3

blog-1

In the spring of 2010 Melissa Hinnant was five months pregnant when it was discovered that she was in very premature labor.   She was rushed into emergency surgery and while laying horizontal in the hospital she had to do something with her hands and this started and spurred her desire to sew.  She lived in the hospital for 2 weeks, before doctors could no longer stop the labor. A very tiny, but oh so perfect baby girl was born, and the Lord took her straight to Heaven. It is out of this great tragedy that an accidental company was born.

Late fall 2011, Melissa listed her first pair of women’s boot socks on Etsy. In a matter of days, overwhelmed with orders that she could not possibly fulfill alone, she convinced her friends to help.  Soon a team of friends and family began working out of their homes, busy sewing and shipping.  Three years later, Grace and Lace has sold over 300,000 pairs of lacey, frilly boot socks, leg warmers, and women’s apparel. The company has grown so rapidly that they have now evolved into an official company with trademarked designs, a full studio and warehouse, and friends and family as staff.

In August 2013, Grace and Lace announced a partnership with Angel House, an organization that builds self-sustaining orphanages in India. A portion of all the company’s sales are donated to Angel House. Grace and Lace opened two orphanages that house a total of 150 children in the summer of 2014 and plans are in the works to open five more in the next year.  They have named the orphanages Halle House in honor of their baby girl who was the inspiration for the company.

Watch Grace & Lace on Sharktank:

We love the frilly boot cuffs and mesh shirt & skirt extenders and think they add a unique and girly touch to any outfit. Their wide array of scarves are perfect for any fashionista looking to make a statement this fall! One thing’s for certain, the story of Grace & Lace is wonderful, and so are their one-of-a-kind products!

Five Spring Trends

Five Spring Trends

Spring has technically arrived! Even though some of the country is still enduring the harsh reality of Winter, we have our eyes on sunshine and flowers. While Fall may be our favorite season to shop ( we can never have too many boots), Spring is *very* fun. We have spent some time perusing the blogosphere and picked five trends that we are excited to participate in. What are your favorite Spring fashion trends?

1. Stripes –

It seems like stripes reemerge as trendy every few years. We can’t deny – we jump on the stripes train every time since they never *really* go out of style. Stripes all suite a variety of fabrics AND body types. We tend to prefer bolder rugby-type stripes, the options abound. They add a stylish simplicity to a wardrobe. Pop on a great pair of jeans, cute flats, a striped tee (black and white), and some lipstick – voila! Selections below via Old Navy.

Old Navy Stripes

2. Pastels –

We know this may seem like a cop out, but we couldn’t not include it. Pastels are popping up everywhere – from tees to sweaters and dresses to eye shadow. Pastels are a very pretty fashion statement that is perfect for the warmer Spring months. While we love all the fun pastel clothing options, sometimes our messiness makes light hues a bit trickier. Perfect solution: nail polish! In a perfect world we would snag 5 beautiful pastel polishes and paint each finger a different color. Crazy? Maybe. But nails seem like the perfect place with a bit more exciting fashion statements. Selections below via Sephora.

3. Floral –

Another obvious choice. but florals are having a moment. We have been seeing floral shirts, tees, jeans, skirts, dresses, and more. Nothing screams Spring more than a beautiful floral item. The pieces we have selected are very much seasonal – and priced accordingly. You won’t find us suggesting floral investment pieces from Forever 21, however, while the sun is shining we would encourage you to have fun with your wardrobe however you see fit. Want some more versatile florals? Try and stick to a black and white color scheme – those will be suitable all year ’round. Selections below via Forever 21.

4. Distressed Denim –

we waver a lot on this trend, but we can’t give you a credible list without including it. Distressed denim seems to be making a bit of a comeback and we are having mixed feelings about it. On one hand it can look super rockstar cool. On the other hand, when styled improperly, it can look messy and poorly put together. Luckily the reemergence of this trend is giving us a lot of different options – from different washes to variety in distressing. With a great selection we think everyone could find the right level of distress for their taste. Selections via Nordstrom.

Distressed Denim

5. Bold Pouts –

We know we blog about it all the time, but a pretty pout just screams Spring. We are seeing fashion and beauty bloggers putting away those bold plums and reds for violets and pinks. We love bold lips for a few reasons. First of all – if you have anything on your face that isn’t your favorite (for us it is dark circles under our eyes) they are an immediate distraction. Second – pops of color create visual interest, creating the illusion that a possibly bland outfit is much more exciting. Selections below via Sephora.

Fashion on a Budget: LabWorks at Target

With New York Fashion week on the tips of everyone’s tongue we have been looking closely at great design on a budget.

Their items have a more ‘designed’ look and could compliment any wardrobe.

Lab Works Target

 

One of our favorite trends that labworks/Target are full embracing is black and white. Their selection of neutral pieces is making us swoon just a bit. Right now you can earn 2.5% Cash Back on all these items. Don’t they look comfortable?

Seeing Red

With Valentine’s Day coming up SO SOON, we can’t help but be inspired by the holiday’s favorite color: red! It has a quintessential glamorous quality to it  regardless of how it’s used. As the main piece of your outfit, or a fun pop against neutrals, a little or a lot of red can go a long way to add personality to your outfit.

RedAccessoriesDone

Red accessories can be scooped up on a tight budget at Target with 2.5% Cash Back.RedLipsDone

RedPolishDone

Red nails, like lips, are never going out of style. They are as fun and functional as a cool ring. Sephora, the beauty mecca, will give you 2.5% Cash Back on your polish purchases.

RedShoesDone

Red shoes will be a wardrobe staple perfect for Valentine’s Day or any other day. A great pop of color at your feet will look lovely with jeans, black pants, shorts, dresses & skirts.

Trendy Items on a Budget: Forever 21

Here at Ebates we are all about shopping on a budget. Obviously. When it comes to women’s clothing it sometimes seems impossible to stay on budget and enjoy some of the more fun trends populating our 1700+ stores. Seriously, who has the funds for that? One of our favorite places to snag some super trendy pieces on a budget is a new addition to Ebates – Forever21. While the quality may not be the same as a Macy’s or Nordstrom, the trendiest pieces may not be something you want to wear in the long term. While the country stays bundled up avoiding the Winter blues, we are eyeing some great Spring trends at F21:

F21DRESSES

 

Their dress selection is great – sundresses are versatile an comfortable. They have some boho looks, some geometric looks, some ombre dresses, and a handful of classic items.

F21JACKETS

 

Learning to layer is a great goal. One of the most important wardrobe items is great outerwear. Forever 21‘s great prices make building an eclectic and versatile outerwear collection a viable option for someone on a tighter budget.  From a play on denim jackets to leather-look sleeves, their collection is trendy and seasonal.

F21Necklaces

 

Baubles, baubles, baubles! Forever 21 has a VAST selection of statement necklaces. They do have many more delicate and simple options, but when it comes to getting more bang for your buck, the trendy choices are nearly overwhelmingly tempting.

F21PANTS

Forever 21 does offer a great selection of basic jeans, but they also have some very trendy and fun choices like chambray harem pants and tuxedo stripes. Remember – you aren’t paying for quality, but you will get to participate in any and every trend you want.

F21SHOES

 

Forever 21 did recently launch a line of leather shoes – running at about $60 each, they could be amazing quality, but is that worth risking discomfort? Buying shoes online is always tricky. but our team decided to try it out and order a pair, because, hey – $60 leather shoes could just be amazing. Don’t miss out on 2.0% Cash Back on your trendy buys at Forever 21!
