Canvas Shorts in Pepper Rally | $22.94 | Old Navy

As the weather gets warmer, you can start breaking out the shorts. This spring, men’s shorts are shifting toward more colorful styles with a slimmer leg. It’s a great way to add some life to your look and balances nicely with light neutrals like a grey or white shirt. Just remember that in general, it’s better to stick to one brightly colored item per look to keep things balanced.

Go for a Lightweight Gingham

Secret Wash Shirt in Spring Gingham | $64.50 | J.Crew

Always reminiscent of warm weather, a gingham shirt is a staple piece for any guy’s wardrobe. (Gingham is super hot for spring. Remember those gingham skimmers from 5 Trends to Prep Your Spring Wardrobe?) This lightweight shirt looks just the right amount of worn without seeming sloppy. The gingham pattern is subtle enough to work into your office wardrobe, and unique enough to wear out around town. Definitely worth the investment!

Johnny Sneaker in Chalk | $128 | Banana Republic

Often cited as the first thing a woman notices about a man, shoes are of utmost importance to the overall outfit look. If you’re going for a fresh spring wardrobe, you can’t go wrong with these chalk white classic sneakers. If you’ve already got a pair of white low-rise sneakers hiding in your closet, be judicious with yourself and decide if it’s time to toss. If they’re grey and stained, it’s time to say goodbye.

Easy Style Tips for Busy Moms

styletips2

Moms. You are pretty much always in a hurry. You usually find yourself on the business end of many messes (be it food or…worse). And you usually opt for comfort over fabulous (you never know when you have to run after a little one or reach for something they dropped in ways you didn’t think your body could bend). The point is, fashion for moms is no cake walk. It’s hard to look good every single day when you have the hardest job in the world. So with you in mind and with this being Mommy Madness here at Ebates, we’ve come up with some extremely easy fashion tips you can incorporate into every day of the week, no matter how jammed-packed your schedule may be. Never fear. Style help for moms is here!

1. Scuba Skirts and Tops
If you haven’t heard of scuba tops or scuba skirts, you are seriously missing out. Not only is this bathing suit-like material stretchy and comfortable, it is also moisture-absorbent and stain-resistant. Frazzled and sweaty? No problem. Spills and oopsies? Whatever. Seriously, scuba material is a mom fashion miracle.

2. Skirts and Sneakers
We know heels just might not have a place in your everyday life with all the physical demands of being a mom. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rock your favorite dress or skirt with some super comfy sneakers. This combo is actually very high fashion but still looks lovely with a basic, conservative skirt and tee look.

3. Jersey Blazers
Jackets may seem a little too dressed-up but jersey jackets give you that extra structure and layering power without compromising comfort. They instantly elevate any look, day or night.

4. Infinity Scarves
Instantly take a sweater, tee, or collared shirt up a notch with an infinity scarf. Just like that, you have magically created a little visual interest with a layered look that isn’t too bulky. Extra points for prints!

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.

gracelacesuedescarf_12_c__17764.1407958749.1050.1248

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!

Fab Fatale Fall Fashion Under $150

 

Hi Ebates members!  My name is Jennifer, editor at Fab Fatale, and I’m beyond excited to be a part of Ebates Fall Fashion Week!  A few bloggers, including myself, were put to the challenge of styling an on-trend look for Fall at under $150, which was actually so easy with all of the promo codes I found at Ebates.

The outfit I styled revolved around this amazing floral blouse {picked up with a 20% off promo code found at Ebates}.  I thought I’d go with a fun date night look by pairing it with cuffed skinny jeans and the shoe of the moment, ankle strap platform pumps, both picked up at Charlotte Russe.  I found a few stand out, yet affordable accessories at Target including the black clutch and skinny belt.  I polished the look off with these fun gold hoop earrings from Kohl’s and a rhinestone pyramid stretch bracelet from Nordstrom.

Every piece of this look was put together with merchants I shop often, and all were affiliated with Ebates, so I saved big with the promo codes and then racked up on cash back for my purchases. I love earning a commission on my own purchases and every little bit adds up! So what do you all think of the outfit I styled for Ebates Fall Fashion week. Is this a look you would wear? My outfit details:

  1. Candie’s Gold Hoop Earrings – Kohl’s $10.40
  2. Rhinestone Pyramid Stretch Bracelet – Nordstrom $12.00
  3. Printed Wrap Blouse – similar here (Saved 20% with Ebates promo code) $47.68
  4. Refuge Glam Ultra Skinny Jeans – Charlotte Russe On Sale For $25
  5. Sueded T-Strap Wedge Sandals – Charlotte Russe On Sale For $20.00
  6. Merona Skinny Black Belt – Target $12.99
  7. Merona Small Black Clutch – Target $7.99

Total – $136.06
