Happy and Safe Independence Day!

The 4th of July weekend is an exciting time around here - we love the fun of picnics and fireworks with our friends and family. But besides that, we also get to enjoy a few days off for one of the country's most fabulous art festivals - The Cherry Creek Arts Festival, right here in our own front yard! 


The festival has been happening the first weekend in July for decades. And it's fantastic - original art, music, great food and drinks...definitely a must-see. We'll be closed Friday July 1 - Monday July 4 to enjoy it.


When we come back - get ready for a month of fun at the store! We'll have all kinds of Facebook only specials and contests - so if you're not a "friend" of SOL on Facebook, this would be a great time to do it! Plus, the Sidewalk Sale is right around the corner, July 21-23. 

Enjoy your weekend - we'll see you next week!



Love and rockets,


Cindy

Cindy's Summer Wardrobe Secrets

I could not be more excited that summer is finally here...last winter sure dragged on, didn't it? I love this season of bare legs, kicky skirts, shoulder and back-baring tops... but sometimes after you get the perfect summer top or dress home, it's hard to get it looking just right, isn't it?


Actually - it's not hard at all - if you know my secrets! I'm going to let you in on my favorite fashion fixes to make looking fabulous this summer a breeze...the best part? They'll all fit in your purse!




First up. There are times when you want your straps to show (cute tank, cute Daisy bra) and there are times when you don't. Racer back tanks. Dresses with dramatic shoulder cutouts. The Embrace Bra Strap Solution is the answer. No special bra required. Wear your favorite supportive bra and simply extend the straps out a bit, weave the Embrace through the straps, and voila! Instant comfy racer back bra. I keep a couple of these in my purse...I've been known to hand them to strangers who are struggling, tucking straps in over and over!




Secret Two. Braza Flash Tape. The easy-peasy dispenser makes solving all kinds of fashion disasters quick and simple. Rip off the amount you need to close up gaping blouses, droopy necklines, even temporarily fix a hem. After you start using it, you'll find all kinds of uses for it.




Secret Three. Bring it ups, I love you! Ideal for backless tops or dresses or plunging necklines when you really cannot wear a bra at all, strapless or otherwise. These nifty little lifts adhere right to your skin and put those girls back where they used to be, before time and children and gravity took their toll. I never go on vacation without them and rumor has it this is how celebs get their red carpet glamour on.




And finally, my fourth secret to a flawless summer wardrobe. Top Hat Nipple Covers. They're adhesive, but ouchless and totally reusable. Look fabulous and conceal nipples - with or without a bra.


There you have it. My secrets to a summer without "wardrobe malfunctions." My last summer secret? The recipe for perfect sangria. But I'm not sharing that with anyone. ;-)


Love, 
Cindy
