What is it about Spring that makes us want White Sun Dresses?
Juicy Couture Smocked Cotton Embroidered Dress
Labels: Dresses, Juicy Couture, New Arrivals, Under $200
I love Gold Hawk makes us pay attention our clothes and brings in embellishments and fabrications that have been forgotten and updates them for the modern woman. We’re digging navy for Spring around here and this one is at the top of our favorites list!
Accessorize with our new Gold Snake Ballet Flats by Zigi, only $69.50.
This is one of our favorite Colcci dresses of all time! The colors are amazing together and the silk lays heavy enough that the slight bubble hem isn’t overwhelming. Also loving the deep back with tie and ruffle collar with bow tie detail. Perfect for those upcoming graduations!

We’ve all been living in our Zoa Slouchy Pocket Tees lately, so we’re excited to get one of Zoa’s amazing silk styles in for the first time!
We love the versatility of this top! It can be paired with these J Brand shorts and C&C California tank casually, belted with one of our CL double-wrap leather belts and jeans or trousers or tucked into a fitted pencil skirt for the office. Made of textured silk chiffon, the delicateness of the fabric easily transforms into a more serious shirt with the addition of pleats and a collar.

Based on the best-selling Madison Platform Pump by Dolce Vita, DV has created the Fire Pump for a great price! We’ve all been drooling over these beauties since they arrived yesterday. These won’t last long and we only have one size run so hurry in before they’re gone!
If you love heels at all, you must own these shoes. I have two pairs of the Madison shoe and they’re definitely one of my favorite shoes to wear! The hidden platform in the toe makes the 4-inch heel feel like a 3-inch heel and are completely comfortable to walk in.
DV by Dolce Vita Fire Pump in Cobalt Snake - $96.00 now $63.50
Sizes 6 & 10 available

This thin chain with heart and skull clasp features the signature Dirty Pretty Things Knife with “Beauty is Pain” scrolled on the side with a crystal accent. We love Dirty Pretty Things and their “pretty” take on not-so-pretty things. It’s even more amazing layered together! This looks great with their St. Christopher’s Medal Necklace and “Even Death Gets Hungry Bracelet Set!”
Beauty is Pain - $44.00

These amazing tees BLEW OUT in no time so we ordered more and in LOTS of colors! These are tunic length, super soft and have an extra-large slouchy pocket.
We’re sold out of Black and White as of now but are expecting them next week. If you’re interested in Black or White, we highly suggest pre-ordering one to ensure your size.
Zoa Pocket Tee - $34.00
ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES has proven to be a HUGE success here in Columbia! We had so much fun working barefoot in our TOMS tees on. Tori went down to participate in the Barefoot Walk on Mizzou’s Campus and took lots of photos for you to enjoy! We’re also excited to announce that we have 5 new TOMS colors coming next week—Natural, Red University Stripe, Green Tie-Dye, Navy Blue & Olive Green. We are also expecting Yellow University Stripe and Yellow Batik in the next few weeks. If you are interested in any other colors that we don’t have in stock we are happy to order them for you and we are also offering special order for MEN’s sizes. We’re so excited that so many people are getting behind TOMS and are so proud to be the exclusive local retailer for TOMS shoes. Be the change. ONE FOR ONE.
Pictures from the Barefoot Walk:
Erin, Caycee & Tori working barefoot at the store today in our Drop TOMS Not Bombs tees & “Ask Me Why I’m Not Wearing Shoes” Buttons. We had a blast today and it was definitely Tori’s favorite day EVER!
TOMS Shoes hopes to inspire people to continue their support after April 16th by sharing the One for One mission: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need.
Shoes are a simple answer to obstacles many face everyday:
* Fact #1: In developing nations, children walk for miles to food, clean water and medical help.
* Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
* Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
* Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
* Fact #5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.

I know it seems like we've been all about TOMS lately, but we really believe in TOMS' cause and want to get involved in any way we can!
Join us in taking off your shoes and going barefoot for a day. We will all be barefoot here at Swank Boutique and will be joining the TOMS campus rep for a Barefoot Walk from 4-5 on Mizzou's campus in an effort to bring attention to the fact that thousands of people around the world go every single day without shoes.
For every pair of TOMS you buy TOMS donates a pair to a child in need around the world.
ONE FOR ONE.

X-Long 36” Inseam A Pocket with Squiggle Pocket from 7 for All Mankind
0 comments Posted by Dono at 11:16 AMX-Long
The X-Long A-Pocket Fit with Squiggle (original) Pocket features a 36” inseam, the slim, lowrise flare fit of the A-Pocket style with the original, less flashy squiggle pocket design. Available in sizes 25-30 and in the Portugal wash with X-fit lycra denim.
Light colored denim and destroyed styles, especially skinnies, are everywhere this Spring! We are loving this wash with the all the detailing! They’re the perfect compliment to our dark skinny J Brands that we can’t take off! Plus, this is a rigid denim (no lycra) which always wears so much differently! After seeing Tori try them on, I can’t wait to get a pair myself!
Roxanne in Vintage Nakita Wash - $198.00
Roxanne is also available in a stretch Portugal wash - $172.00
Labels: 7 For All Mankind, Extra-Long, Jeans, Skinny, Under $200
Wounded Knee J Brand Pencil Leg Jeans in Dark Vintage as seen on Lauren Conrad - $172.00
Sizes 25-30 available
These are the skinny jean we can’t keep in stock, the J Brand 912 Pencil Leg with some serious distressing! A tag on the back pocket (completely removable) reads, “WE BROKE THEM IN, YOU WEAR THEM OUT.” And wear them out we shall!
