A Shoe for Every Foot

I must admit that I am usually into bags and jewelry much more than shoes when it comes to accessories. That, however, is not the case this season! We have so many cute new styles coming and I cannot wait to snag a few for myself. Here is a taste of what has arrived, and what will be coming soon.( From top- Frye Alessia Artisanal T-Strap, TOMS Kenya Wedge, Lucky Brand Fallin Sandal, and Frye Tamara Buckle in Sapphire.)

I'm Back!

Starting today, I am back. I will blog about interesting and inspiring things for those that care:) I have been quite a slacker when it comes to blogging, but NO MORE I say-NO MORE! So, for those of you that don't frequent The Button as much as others, we have exciting news! Things are going well, and we were feeling a little cramped. So, we expanded!!! We knocked down a wall, put down some beautiful wood floors, and have some great new brands!! Yay! Here are some pics, but you really need to come in and see it for yourself.

Bags, Bags, Bags!

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a great bag. Something that stands out, goes with every outfit, and just makes me happy:) First is the Hobo Trinity Bag...beautiful in every way. It's a great size, shape, and has just the right amount of detail. Recently carried by Taylor Swift, it's no surprise why this bag is worth the splurge!(Available in Black, Mocha, Sage-shown, and Aubergine) Then there is the Lucky Brand Clutch on Fire. This versatile bag has a removable strap long enough to wear across your body.(Available in Black, Teak-shown, and Capri) Next is this striking Lucky Brand patchwork bag. Big enough to carry anything you could possibly need, and colorful enough to spruce up any Neutral Nancy's wordrobe. Which one is your fav??

Holiday Shoot

Tuesday, the talented Katie Stoops took some fun holiday pics for the store! Check 'em out(more on our Facebook page). All the items(including Tyler's) are available at the store.

Black Friday...

Just to let everyone know...we will be opening an hour early on Black Friday(10am). From 10-11 everything will be an additional 10% off-even sale items! I hope to see you all, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I also would like to say that I am so thankful for all my wonderful customers that support The Yellow Button- you have made my dreams come true:)

I'm SO Excited!

So I know it's only the first week of November, but I am so excited for Xmas! As we speak I am burning the new Votivo Gingersnap candle and planning what fun things to do for my Christmas windows and displays. So, I had to share this with you today. Jana from Dayton, OH has made these absolutely precious stockings for me from mostly vintage fabric! If you would like one let me know soon...she only made six! Hope you are all having a wonderful week:)

Journal Necklaces

Hello All! I wanted to let you in on an adorable new item we have at the store. These little journal necklaces created by Margaux in Philadelphia are made from reclaimed leather. Each necklace has a little card with the date it was created and where the leather is from. Great for a gift or for yourself!

I'm SO Sorry!

Hello Buttonistas! I'm so sorry it's been so long since the last post. Here are some great pics of some of our fall merchandise!!

Time for TOMS

Get The Look: Mad Men

AMC's Mad Men has influenced everyone in fashion from Michael Kors to the design team behind Banana Republic. The look is chic, sophisticated and distinctly retro without feeling campy. Kors' Fall 2008 take on the show's sheath dresses and pearls-and-cardi glam were on the money - and cost a lot of it. To get the look for less, stop by The Yellow Button and follow these styling tips for a decidedly younger take on the show's signatures.

January Jones' separates have a housefrau vibe that doesn't jive with your average buttonista. Pair our gray bow neck top and abstract floral skirt from Tulle to get a similarly put-together effect without the Betty Crocker connotations.

Elisabeth Moss's dress has a similar neckline to our olive number from Hazel, but switch out the staid buffalo check for a neutral tone and sacrifice all of those buttons for a nice, wide belt to get a look that's more Sex And The City.

Christina Hendricks' curves work well with simple sheath dresses accessorized to perfection. Take our purple dress from Tulle and add a pop of color with a bright belt and, maybe, a vintage turquoise brooch. Our yellow Tulle dress has a fantastic shape and comes with its own waist-cincher, so spruce it up with a fantastic bag and the right pair of shoes.

1) Blouse, Tulle $58

2) Skirt, Tulle $55

3) Dress, Hazel $127

4) Dress, Tulle $68

5) Dress, Tulle $60

Friday Night Sights

Looking for a swanky and sophisticated way to spend your Friday evening? Then stop by the Artful Dodger on August 7th between 6-8pm for the opening of Brandy Somers' new art show, accompanied by the music of Wolf Gang.

Brandy is the fabulous photographer behind our summer campaign and her art is, needless to say, just as spectacular as her photography.

The exhibition is on display until August 30th for those of you who won't be able to make it out next Friday, so be sure to tell your friends and make a date with the arts!

Get The Look: Balmain

Not all of the outfits in The Yellow Button are made for bohemian rhapsodizing. This BB Dakota jacket, available on InStyle.com for 20% off, paired with skinny jeans from Blank or Free People and a slouchy, deep-V neck t-shirt make for a ready-to-wear homage to the Balmania that's sweeping the fashion scene. Tastemakers like Rihanna and Beyoncé love the brand's modern take on 80's acid wash and shoulder pads.

Obviously "acid wash" and "shoulder pads" bring back more bad memories than good for the average consumer, so we've taken into account wearability by pairing the Michael Jackson-influenced jacket with slim, edgy jeans that don't cost a fortune and loose-fitting tees any Brooklynite would go gaga over.

Stop by The Yellow Button today to see more looks from BB Dakota and your other favorite brands!

Jacket, BB Dakota $102
Blue jeans, Blank $70
Grey jeans, Free People $68
White T-shirt, Existential West
Purple T-shirt, Heavy Rotation $28

Heavy Rotation T's for Guys Are in!

We've finally gotten in some duds for dudes with our first shipment of guys Heavy Rotation t-shirts.

Newsflash: TOMS & T's for Men!

It's been a long weekend, but don't think we've forgotten about you, loyal blogettes!

Special thanks to everyone who made it out to Bloomfest last week. It was a great success and tons of fun to be part of something with so many other local businesses.

A lot of you have been asking, will The Yellow Button ever sell guy's clothing? Yes! By the end of the summer we'll be selling TOMS for guys as well as t-shirts from Heavy Rotation. Tell your brother, your boyfriend, even your hip dad!

Hopefully everyone's 4th was a great (safe) time! Stay tuned to the blog this week for a special accessories preview and more updates on your favorite bands at your favorite Harrisonburg boutique.

Hollywood It Girls Draw BLANK

Is it just us or do L.A.'s pretty young thing's have a soft spot for BLANK jeans? Ashlee Simpson and Victoria's Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio were both spotted rocking the studded pocket style (Alessandra's were cut-offs, of course). Then we noticed that Elle covergirl-cum-red carpet showstopper Megan Fox wore a white pair (as seen on InStyle.com!) for her role in Transformers 2. Stop by The Yellow Button to pick up your pair today!
