It’s finally starting to feel a little more like Spring with the gorgeous weather we received over the weekend–and I have a ridiculous looking sunburn to prove it.

 Sunday, I ate lunch outside the Little Bread Co. with an amazing new friend and we ended up talking for over 3 ½ hours. I’m sure I’ll end up with a really great tan, but I was wearing a quarter length shirt—so it will only be from my elbow to my wrist :/

 We should have some more pretty weather popping in and out of the rain for the remainder of the month, but here are 5 trends you can try regardless of the weather:

1. Pink- The “it” color for Spring. Grab tanks, top, and dresses in a variety of shades, fuchsia, peachy-pink, rose, coral, and more. But don’t forget, you can use coral as your go-to shade; it is universally flattering on all skin tones!

Lace Underlay Top- $48

Chiffon Layered Vest- $58

Easy Button Up Tank- $38

2. Lace & Crochet- Look for it on otherwise simple dresses and shorts or woven into the back of tanks for a fresh take on a Spring essential. Or you can edge it up with studded jewelry or a biker jacket if full on girly isn’t your style.

3. The Boxy Bag- Square handbags have always been a classic, but have an of the moment feel right now.

My Current Favorite- $88

Shoulder Bag $68

Neon Crossbody $58

4.  Black & White- Black and white are chic on their own, but are even better paired together. You can mix solid pieces together, or mix a black and white top with brightly colored bottoms or accessories.

“Leather” Trim Tank- $38

5. Mod- If you are a lover of Mad Men, this trend is for you. There was a strong 1960’s vibe at the Spring runway shows, and I’m loving this blast from the past!

Trends that will continue through this season- Hold onto your Neon, Studs, and Metallic pieces. They will continue to be as hot as an Arkansas summer :)

Neon Accent Tank- $38

Studded Necklace- $28

Metallic Rope Tote- $38

December is upon us, and you’ve probably already be asked once or twice what you would like for Christmas. Unfortunately, sometimes the gifts you receive have return written all over them. Get what you really want this year– and make it easier on those buying you a gift by creating a wish list at Wit & Whimsy. It’s easy, just come in, point out what you like, then we keep it on file–and can even email a little hint to friends and family. You get the gorgeous things you love, and your loved ones can rest easy know they are giving the perfect gift.

Here are just a few of the newest arrivals to get your list started:

If you happen to be attending the Block Street Bizarre tomorrow–stop in and see us too! We will be here from 12:00pm-6:00pm!

Happy December!

So join us tomorrow from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm and receive a $10 gift certificate to use during the month of December with any purchase. Spend $50 or more and chose any pair of earrings in the store as our gift to you.

The nice thing about Fayetteville is that it always feels like Small Business Saturday–everyone promotes local shops, and it’s absolutely amazing! And, whether you realize it or not, you’re making a contribution to your community. For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that at a national chain, only $43 dollars come here. Spend it online, and nothing comes home.

If a thousand people commit to spending just $25 worth of their holiday spending at a local, independent retailer, that’s $25,000 we generate in sales and $17,00 of that stays in our local economy. So even if you can’t join us tomorrow, don’t forget to do a little local shopping this holiday season!

We know you have a choice and we appreciate your business!

I also wanted to give you a quick update for the holidays!

Our store hours will be:

Monday-Friday 10:00 am – 8:00 pm
Saturday 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Our return policy for the holidays:

We know you are very busy–especially this time of year! And after the holidays are over, the last thing you want to do is try to hurry and return things by December 31st. All purchases made during November and December may be returned by January 30th. Hopefully this will make your life just the least bit easier!
