Don't Miss This!!!

Jules Reid is coming to Hysteria for an exclusive trunkshow that is not to be missed. Jules is a native Virginian, in fact one of my favorite pieces is called the Virginian. As a child, Jules and her family were relocated to India and since then she has spent a lifetime inspired by the exotic patterns and high voltage colors found in her mother’s saris and the painted elephants of Jaipur. Other sources of inspiration include her style icons, Emilio Pucci and David Hicks, each with its own courageous use of graphic patterns and color. These amazing textiles personify the collection and are a true testament to the artist in Jules Reid. The prints are clean and fresh…silhouettes are simple but modern and chic. A great addition to any wardrobe! The dresses are great on their own and really don’t need much, if any, adornment. I would wear them with a flat sandal or a wedge. What a great piece to throw on if you are hosting a summer dinner party or even attending one. I could see the dresses at the Gold Cup or Derby. They are all so versatile that you could really utilize them for multiple events…of course not with the same people : ). This is her first season at Hysteria and in order to introduce the collection, Jules will be joining the staff on Thursday evening from 6-9pm. The pieces really speak for themselves and can be paired with simple wardrobe basics. A must for the Spring and Summer!

How to Make a Dress Work Overtime

So many times we buy a dress with one event in mind but unless it is a lime green bridesmaid dress, you can actually wear a dress many different ways for a lot of different occasions. A belt or a jacket can really change the look of a dress. The key is to pick simple, classic shapes that fit you well and the dress can then be transformed with simple accessories and wardrobe staples like a blazer, a jean jacket, or a cardigan. Check out the video below of our stylist, Susan, showing Sarah, a member of our sales staff, how she can transform her favorite dress for Spring.



We have also included some of the other great dresses you will find at Hysteria as well as images of Susan and Tess trying on their favorites in several different ways. Note that the dresses they are wearing do not come with a belt, but by adding one she has changed the look of the dress. This is an easy update that any of us can do. In the video, Sarah's dress does come with a belt but by removing it and adding a different belt, it also changed the look and feel of the outfit. There are endless possibilities. Have fun!
P.S. All of the shoes are right next store at the Shoe Hive. One stop shopping, gotta love it!
