Pretty In Peplum.

If you've noticed a new trend in stores and on your favorite reality fashion series, it might very well be PEPLUM.

This look might be new to you, but the year twenty-thirteen isn't its first go-round. This trend can be traced back all the way to Ancient Greek women AND men!

The official definition for peplum is:

                        1. A short flared, gathered, or pleated strip of fabric attached at the waist of a
                            woman's  jacket, dress, or blouse. 
                              

                        2. In Ancient Greece, a woman's outer garment. 

Don't worry, this flattering look didn't go away after Socrates retired his peplum...it has lasted throughout some of history's greatest and most fashion forward generations. 

Although this feels like a new trend, peplum allows us all the chance to dress in vintage without paying the price! We love peplum on tops and dresses, sporting big ruffles or small. 

While this is a fun trend, it is sometimes hard to find just the right style of peplum for your body type. 

To balance your shape and hips and help slim your silhouette, choose a peplum that is shorter and adds flirty volume.

To add curves and create an hourglass shape, choose a dress with a peplum on the sides with a tight-fitted bodice.

To camouflage with your peplum, choose one that is longer and lays flat over problem areas. 

You can pair your favorite peplum tops with skinny jeans or pencil skirts for the look of your choice! Just take notes from some of our favorite celebs rocking this timeless trend!

Trendy to the MAX.

As the days get longer and the nights get warmer, we are FINALLY seeing signs that Summer is on its way. We are ecstatic to usher in the one season of the year that bodes an airy, easy way of dressing. 

Who are we kidding...there is just something about the warm, breezy weather that makes us raid our closets for that "just off the beach" look. 

For all you fashionistas with Summer fever, we have just the look for you....

THE MAXI DRESS

Could there be a more perfectly inclusive item for your Summer wardrobe?

We love this look for the Summer, and so do the designers! The long-wearing (pun intended) trend is hitting the runways recently, and we just can't get enough! 

TRENDY TIP:

Just because you are wearing a maxi, don't forget to be fabulous with your shoes as well! You can dress your outfit up with some darling wedges...

OR keep it beachy with some comfy flats or flip-flops....

Regardless of how you wear your new maxi, we encourage you to make it your own! Accessorize with pieces that you love, and pair it with shoes that fit the occasion. No matter what look you choose, we guarantee you'll be 'trendy to the MAX!!'

Minted to Perfection.

Helloooo mint!!

No, we aren't talking about your favorite flavor of ice cream at Marble Slab, or the delicious candies we  treat ourselves to after a meal at Olive Garden, but instead, we are referring to our new favorite color.

  If you have picked up a magazine while waiting in line at Wal Mart or so much as walked past a clothing store window, you have probably noticed a lovely light shade of green we like to call mint.  

This color is EVERYWHERE this Spring, and it is safe to say that mint is this season's black. And we can't complain! Here at Ellie we can't get enough of this pretty pastel...it pairs perfectly with other Spring colors including lavender, coral, and pale yellow, and what's more, it looks great on any skin tone! 

At Ellie, we have an array of dresses that are a perfect minty hue--whether you like solids...

Patterns......

              ......color block
       

Or if you'd rather have your mint on a top, we have plenty of looks for you!  

 We even have just the right mint accessories to vamp up any Spring outfit! 

Whatever minty look you decide to flaunt, Ellie can have you looking like a celeb in no time!
