Art of the Unmatched Giveaway!

Embracing style can be so empowering because it’s endless, subjective and most definitely a gift. At Consuela, we believe beauty and style are in the eye of the beholder. We pride ourselves on the individual style of each member of our Consuela family. The Art of the Unmatched is just one way the Consuela chicks like to rock their inner goddess.

The Art of the Unmatched is pairing unlikely patterns and colors together that flow seamlessly…playing with textures and shapes to create something different, but unique to your personal style. You end up getting much more variety out of your clothes. It’s also fun and no outfit has to ever be the same. We each have our own version of the Art of the Unmatched. That’s what fashion is all about. It’s personal and relatable to how you express yourself on a daily basis.

We encourage you to dig deep and find the inner Consuela to master the Art of the Unmatched. Above are some great examples of how you can take staple items from your closet and create fun outfits that can go seamlessly from day to night.

From Lacey, with Love

Today we honor our Consuela Lacey Tote.  Lace has been responsible for making women across so many decades feel luxurious, sexy, important and fabulous.  Lace can be edgy and bold and yet have the ability to be soft and very feminine.  It’s a unique fabric that lends itself to different shapes and styles.  Lace instantly adds texture and intrigue to your style.

The Lacey Tote is our version of what this particular Consuela woman would emulate.  The Lacey woman is fierce and confident.  She has a bold embroidered heart shining out for the world to see.  She can rock a cool pair of jeans with an edgy black lace halter or a soft flowy lace skirt with a flower in her hair.

The Lacey Tote is shown here in Regular and Grande sizes.

Wild Summer Shorts

When talking about fashion, the art of the unmatched is one of the rules we live by here at Consuela.  The art of the unmatched is best described as organized chaos. It’s pairing fun patterns and colors that you wouldn’t normally think go together, but end up looking totally effortless.

So it’s only fitting that you start with a pair of wild shorts to create your unmatched outfits this summer. Pair these with a fun patterned tee, cute sandals and accessories and you are ready to hit the town.

Check out these trendy designers who are coming up with shorts we are digging this moment.

Bringing the Tribe to Dallas

At Consuela, Vibing with the Tribe is what’s on our minds these days, and what inspired our show design for the summer markets. We are dreaming of dancing under warm starry skies, sand, water, and deep green with the neon glow of night butterflies.

To embrace our tribe feeling we invited a henna artist to come decorate everyone with the beautiful designs at our Dallas market.  Henna is an herbal painting that has been used in many cultures to celebrate holidays, festivals, weddings, and other special occasions.  If you are at Dallas market, please stop by on Thursday or Friday, the 21st and 22nd between noon and 5:00 and get your Vibe On!  If not, no worries, we’ll post some photos for you to check out!

We had a ton of fun creating our own tribe using some old mannequin forms and spray paint….and here’s the tribe when they made it from our backyard in Austin to the market show window in Dallas.

The showroom is set up and ready to rock!

After Curtis, our homeboy and resident lighting expert saw our tribe, he sent us this link to the new Nicki Minaj video, Starships.  She is feeling the Tribe love too!  Awesome!
