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.

Music Magic

 

Earlier this month, the Consuela Team attended a Foster the People show in Austin at one of the city’s great outdoor venues, The Backyard.  We had a blast.  The music was great, and so was the show.  We are in a really exciting time because we are moving to a new office/studio in the heart of downtown with a retail store too!  All of the renovations are underway, and we have been loving thinking up creative decorative designs for our new digs.

 

 

The lighting and stage show at Foster the People was completely inspirational. They had an awesome lighted sun that had moving line drawings for the face image.  The line art was really simple but modern.  Loved it!  Check our You Tube video to see and feel the incredible energy this show was able to capture.

 

After seeing the show we got to brainstorming about how we could make our office and retail space similar to a theater or stage show, where everything was easily moveable and changeable so that we can make new looks as our moods, show themes, design colors change throughout the seasons.  We are working with Brian Chilton, a great local architectural element builder/furniture designer extraodinairre to make our vision come to life.  We’ll keep you posted as we progress, and hope to see you at our grand opening in the fall!

Henna Love

This week, men and women all over Dallas Market are celebrating their inner Consuela by adorning themselves with Henna tattoos in our showroom.

This sacred artform has been used for rituals across many cultures for centuries. We want our visitors to come experience Consuela, be a part of our atmosphere and take away a piece of our culture.  Celebrate the collective wisdom, energy, and reverence through this art.

Our amazing Henna artist, Karen, will be in our showroom again today from noon to 6 pm.  Check our Henna Love Pinterest board to get inspiration and ideas for what Henna art you will choose and see pictures from yesterday’s Henna party.  We hope you stop by and vibe with our tribe!
