 I LOVE THIS BAG.

It's perfect. The colors, the size, the canvas & leather combo... You just have to come in and check it out for yourself to understand!

It's got the perfect slouch; I think that's what makes it. Big bags always end up looking too droopy or puffy, but this gem has a structured bottom! It so hard to find a nice, large bag with a flat structured bottom. This means you can actually carry all your crap and not have it ruin the initial shape of your bag. This purse can hold a lot without looking stuffed, or just be your go-to staple bag. Whether you are a UC student like me, with textbooks and an unnecessary assortment of pens and highlighters, or a business woman with an ipad and blackberry and ipod and office pumps- this beautiful satchel has got you covered!

At $350, this versatile Tod's satchel is the definition of a great investment piece and a great deal  :)

SUMMA SALE

HEY HEY HEY!

So September is rapidly approaching, which means that my favorite season is too!

Our summer sale is in full swing, so stop in either to consign fall clothing or to shop our HUGE sale. Just CHECK THE TAG of any item; if it has a:

YELLOW DOT = 20% OFF

GREEN DOT = 35 % OFF

PURPLE DOT = 50% OFF

This sale is unbeatable. It includes all our summer clothes, shoes and bags. Literally, more than half the shop is marked down! But alas, it cannot last forever, so hurry in because shopping is fun and retail is for suckers (cosmo kramer quote!)

boots!

A literally PERFECT pair of Alexander McQueen boots. The craftsmanship, fine leather and stacked heel make these boots truly a work of art. These kicks are a pretty penny, but if you have ever worn anything McQueen, you understand why: there's just no comparing when it comes to the late great designer's standards in quality.

To be fair, I think every true boot-lover NEEDS a pair of Fryes. These vintage cowboy-style boots are a fraction of the standard Frye Boot price and they stand the test of time, not only in durability but in style as well. I cherish my black motorcycle frye boots; they are so dependable and versatyle- I can wear them with summer floral dresses or hiking in any weather conditions. Do not underestimate a Frye boot, they are like Chevy trucks- built to last... or, like a rock. Whatever. They're badass.

Also! don't forget our shoe sale continues on until August 11th. That means 25% OFF ALL SHOES in store! (unless otherwise marked)
So come through this week. We have flats, heels, boots and sandals in sizes ranging from 5 - 11. We aren't accepting consignments at this time because we need to make room for the fall season, which will be here before ya know it. So stop in to check out our shoes and and any other surprise pop-up sales! :)

I LOVE this dress. While classically demure, it is the fine details, flattering sillhouette and sweetheart cut that are sure to attrack attention, without the sacrifice of good taste! This garment modestly draws in compliments from loads of admirers; both men and women, plus! it spares the savvy shopper yet another depressing trip to Macy's sale rack in search of the same standard, low-cut LBD you bought yourself last year, but this time.. with spaghetti straps! Yeah.. that's really gonna turn heads.

No way man! Forget Macy's and Hot Topic and Limited Too or whatever is all the mall! Compared to the experience of scoring a dress at The Mustard Seed, one that has been patiently waiting just for you, it's infinitely more fun and satisfying than shopping at any chain retail store.

*TIP* Especially with a black & white dress like this one, don' be afraid to be bold: slap on some blood red Dior lipstick and a pair of killer sling-backs, and voila! You ensemble is complete: classy, fashionable and sexy.

My point is, with the right dress- not only in size but fitting your personality and indivdual style as well- you can count on feeling confident, beautiful and comfortable everytime you throw it on. These are the kinds of dresses I love most at the Mustard Seed :)

SHOES. SHOES. SHOES.

HEY. Our epic store-wide shoe sale is still going on, but not for long- 25% ALL SHOES!

It's just nuts, I don't even know why our store is doing this. Well, I do know: we have an avalanche of shoes right now, but also we're doing it for you guys. Because the Mustard Seed loves its devoted clientele so much.

But really, come through before somebody wakes up and ends this sale!
