This past Friday was a big day for us here at Bliss – we spent the day filming our first ever "how-to" video shoot! It was a fun day full of wrap dresses, scarves... and plenty of laughs. We can't wait to share our tips on wrapping your favorite Butter by Nadia wrap dress or new Chan Luu scarf. And we plan on making even more videos: how-to wear the denim on denim trend, how-to transition your look from day to night, how-to wear flare jeans, and much more.  If you have any ideas for us, please share! This will be an ongoing project for us and it's something we hope will benefit our customers greatly!

In case you aren't following us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, here's a few photos from the day that you may have missed.  And remember to stay tuned, we'll be posting our videos soon!

With Christmas less than a week away, it’s starting to feel like crunch time. Don’t stress just yet if you’re still shopping - you’ve still got some time & we’re here to help. Last year the Bliss gals shared their gift ideas for their family & friends. This year to switch it up a bit, I’ve asked them to pick just one item that’s on their wish list. Hopefully our picks will help while you’re making those last-minute gift purchases.

Here are some gift ideas that she's guaranteed to love:

Frye Veronica Short boot for Angie:

"I'm obsessed with the cognac stonewashed leather!"

Brahms Mount Alpaca & Merino Wool Throw for Kelly:

"This cozy Maine-made blanket is the perfect mix of classic style & warmth - I would love to cozy up under it with a hot cocoa & a good book for the rest of the winter!"

The Pendleton Canyonville Tote for Tiffany:

"This tote in "Painted Hills Black" is definitely at the top of my wish list. It's the perfect weekend bag, especially during the holidays." 

Chan Luu Cashmere/Silk scarf for Erin:

"I adore the Chan Luu Cashmere/Silk scarves. With their undeniable softness & gorgeous colors to choose from, it's so hard for me not to want another one (I already have four)!" 

Paige Hoxton Ankle Jean for Althea:

"I've been waiting for Paige to come out with a high-waisted skinny jean for a while now. Let's just say, this jean was worth the wait!"

Sundry Racer Back Tank for Sophie:

"Paired with some light-wash destroyed denim, this will be a great look for my California spring break trip!"

Pendleton Ram's Horn Robe for Michelle:

"I love the print & it will keep me warm all winter long. It looks like it's going to be a cold one!"

Velvet Farah Sequin Dress in Pewter for Tonia:

"Perfect for a fun, festive New Year's - a night of all nights!"

Frye Shearling Melissa Button boot for Keriann:

"My feet are always cold, so I'm convinced these boots were made for me! I love that they're functional AND super stylish."

Prairie Underground Long Cloak Hoodie for Chelsey:

"Warm, cozy and perfect for lounging around on my days off!"

Butter by Nadia Signature Jersey Wrap Dress for Laura:

"I can go from day to night with this dress - pairing it with tights & Frye boots during the day and my favorite heels at night!"

Citizens of Humanity Rocket High-Rise Leatherette for Diana: 

"They'll add a special twist to my everyday wardrobe. I can't wait to pair them with cable knit sweaters & girly blouses!"

New Scotland Hat for Lauren:

"What a splendid addition to my hat collection!"

With our social calendars filling up, we have holiday parties & New Years' festivities on the brain. Luckily, we've yet to find a better dress to get us through this busy time of year than Butter by Nadia's Signature Wrap Dress! Available in satin, jersey and even gold sparkle, we're firm believers that a woman's closet is never complete without at least one of these dresses. It's their exclusive fabrics, their stunning color options and the endless possibilities that make this wrap dress the ultimate wardrobe staple. Wear it for a special occasion, bridesmaid dress, or just because... you'll feel just as pretty as you'll look in it.

Or maybe you're still in search of that perfect gift. Consider it found -  not only are the wrap dresses one-size, but she'll be able to wear it differently each time she puts it on. Watch (and learn!) some of the cool ways this dress can be wrapped HERE! It's the gift that just keeps on giving...

Maine Magazine launched a new style blog yesterday that highlights local boutiques & their standout pieces for the season. And the writer? Mara from MainelyMara - our favorite destination for local deals! Lucky for us (and such an honor!), Mara chose to write her very first blog about us! Our large selection of cozy, cashmere sweaters, Epice scarves and Frye boots took the spotlight in her write-up of fall trends. Along with our denim wall ("yes, an entire wall"), adorable Tiny TOMS and Butter by Nadia's wrap dresses (always a fan favorite!).

Click here to read the article... and be sure to follow the blog too! Trust me, Mara has some seriously good insight when it comes to style & trends. Oh, and be sure to stop by to see Mara's seasonal picks firsthand - you won't be disappointed.

As many of you know from all our instagram-ing, facebook-ing and tweeting, we were in NYC two weeks ago for Coterie - one of the fashion world’s largest (& most exciting!) trade shows. And even though the city was buzzing with all things fall, it was clear that the buyers were focused on spring (and for good reason)! By the looks of it, spring is stacking up to be everything we could ever want... the return of authentic denim washes in new modern cuts, carefree flowy tops & an abundance of dresses.

Okay, so maybe you’re not ready to be planning your spring wardrobe just yet (after all, fall has only just begun!), but there’s no harm in getting a sneak peek at what you’ll see in our stores come March. Keep reading... this is going to be fun!

Lily Aldridge for Velvet

She’s been the face & body of Velvet since 2004... and now she’s launching a limited-edition collaboration with them! Lily Aldridge is a combination of the beautiful girl next door and rock-and-roll supermodel (with a closet to die for!), and this spring she’s sharing her covetable style with us. Her collection of tees, dresses & sweaters will easily pair back to all your favorite wardrobe basics. Oh, and did I mention the most perfect military-inspired lightweight jacket? And to make this line even sweeter, Lily personally named every style after a close friend or family member!

MiH Jeans

Denim is going back to the basics for spring. Vintage-looking, distressed washes will be a must, so you can expect plenty of lighter washes in our stores once the warmer weather hits. In addition to the return of authentic denim, we’re bringing in a new denim line that we’re oh-so excited about - MiH Jeans! Founded in London in 1969, MiH Jeans has a history of being “the original British jeans brand” and the best-fitting jeans around. Some things we love about them: they’ve always been a family-run company, their silhouettes are ultra slimming, and their details (buttons, pockets, etc.) are simply beautiful.

Day 2 of our buying trip started much like every other day - with coffee!  We stumbled upon a quaint little cafe a few blocks from the show that kind of reminded us of Bard Coffee (only not quite as good, of course!), and we went there every morning for the rest of our trip.  With caffeine in our system, we headed towards the Javits Center for our first day at Coterie...

Nashelle

Our first stop was Nashelle’s booth, and I can’t think of a better way we could have started the show.  Her jewelry is so unique; every piece is handmade and it truly shows in her fine details & craftsmanship.  Everything looked stunning as usual, but there were a couple standouts.  The first one was her mini collection - basically she made some of her best-sellers in a smaller size (something I really appreciate since I can’t wear heavy, large earrings all day).  Practical and still super stylish - it’s a win-win combination!  The other standout was Nashelle’s charm necklaces.  With a wide variety of charms, there was something there for everyone.  (Stay tuned - there’s talk about having a charm necklace trunk show in our stores sometime soon!) 

Butter by Nadia

If you’ve ever been in our stores, you’ve seen our wrap dresses by Butter.  They are a crowd favorite... and for good reason.  Their design, fabric and overall look sets them apart, and you will continue to see this for fall.  Color blocking was a big theme at their booth, along with mid-length and maxi-length skirts.  We’re excited about the new three-quarter length wrap dresses as well - it’s the perfect dress for any occasion!  You’ll want to wear it everyday (and you can!).

Michelle’s Picks:

For my cousin, Liz - Prairie Underground Cloak Hoodie in Nightshade
“The cloak hoodie is something she looks at every time she comes into the store - so it will be the perfect Christmas present for her this year!”
For my mom - Epice Scarf... “because she always steals mine when she babysits!”
For my sister-in-law, Dominique - Nashelle Maine-State Charm Necklace
“She lives in Queens, New York but her heart has always been in Maine.”

Althea’s Picks:

For my sister, Colleen - Butter by Nadia Signature Jersey Wrap Dress in Black
“Colleen is a social butterfly - she lives in NYC - so I can see her wearing this dress all the time.  It’s the best-ever LBD.”
For my rockstar friend, Kate - Frye Carson Oxfords in Fawn
“She works three jobs & is on her feet all day, but still loves a little heel!”
For my mom - Butter by Nadia Wool Blanket Coat in Gravel
“This wool coat is timeless - she will love it!”

Tonia’s Picks:

For my son, Sean - Pendleton Harding Blanket
“It’s the perfect blanket for his couch - and the southwestern print really reminded me of him.”
For my grandson, Travis (who is the lead singer in the local band, Butcher Boys)- Pendleton Ceremonial Blanket in Smoke and Mustard
“The neutral colors will work great in his apartment!”
For my grand-daughter, Hannah - New Scotland Orange Fisherman Pompom Hat... “fits her bouncy curls & bubbly personality to a tee!”
