Stay Warm, Look HOT

Don't let the drop in temperatures put a damper on your plans to dress up for New Year's Eve.  We've got you covered when it comes to looking festive and sexy, but not at the expense of freezing all night!

One of our favorite party-ready looks is a drapey, slinky, sparkly Velvet wrap top that keeps you cozy with long sleeves, yet reveals just the right amount of skin with a deep V-neck.  Pair it with our newest obsession, Hudson's tried-and-true skinny jean in an edgy new wash called Paint it Black.  It looks like leather, feels like satin, and will keep you just as warm as a heavy pair of jeans.  Problem solved!

Not into sparkles? How about a super-fun, glam faux fur jacket to really stand out from the crowd?  We love Velvet's sassy leopard-print version -- everyone will be jealous of your traditional New Year's fur AND the fact that you'll be able to brave the weather wherever the night takes you!





HUDSONS ARE HERE!! (And they're 25% off today only!)

We've been anxiously awaiting a new shipment of Hudson jeans, and today they're finally here!  Two amazing styles for all of your holiday wardrobe needs: the Beth Baby Boot, with classic, slim styling, a versatile 16" leg opening that's perfect for wearing over heels, with flats, AND tucking into boots; and the Collin skinny in the coolest black wash of the season.  Dress them up with a sparkly top and spiky heelsfor the perfect party outfit, or pair with a loose tee and touch-chick boots for an amazing rock-n-roll edge.  AND all denim is 25% off today only as part of our 12 days of Christmas sale, so hurry down to get these brand new jeans at an amazing price!

Don't Worry, Be Happy...for Fall!!

So it’s pretty easy to get bummed out about fall when our windshields are frosted over in the morning, but we at Nolita like to look on the bright side.  We thought we’d remind you of some of our absolute favorite things that are best in the fall:

-   Berry-colored (and flavored) lip balm

-   Cashmere, obviously

- The return of the scarf! Not to mention hats, boots, and gloves.  Our long fingerless pairs in – what else?? – cashmere are genius.

- Apples! Pie, cider, covered or dipped in caramel…we love ‘em all

- Having a legitimate excuse to visit the lovely Brown Sugar Tan Spa (on SW Higgins or N Reserve) and relax for a few minutes while keeping some color in our cheeks.  Hands down the best tanning in Missoula, whether you prefer a real or fake bake.

- Cozying up to the new copper bar at James Bar for red wine and comfort food like Montana bison burgers.  Check out how beautiful it looks!

- Not feeling guilty about it, because unless you’re one of the lucky ones planning a tropical escape, you’re not going to have to be in a bathing suit for a loooong time.

- Getting our exercise by hiking around the gorgeous red and orange trails we Missoulians are so lucky to have at our doorstep.

Your turn! Tell us your favorites for fall!!

It's a CELEBRATION!!!

Everyone in Missoula knows how frustrating all of the construction on North Higgins has been -- closed roads, dust for months, potholes galore....the list goes on.  But it's finally time to look on the bright side, see the silver lining, embrace the light at the end of the tunnel -- however you want to say it -- the construction is OVER!! And it looks gorgeous down on our end of town.  We're joining the city of Missoula in celebrating tomorrow, Friday October 15th, by staying open late, enjoying wine and live music, showcasing great deals and designers, and of course, taking care of YOU!  Mention this post and receive 20% off ANY ITEM between the hours of 5 and 7 pm.  Can't wait to see you here!

an instant trend worth trying

It's seems ironic the days get shorter in autumn, but your schedule only seems to get longer. So, are you still looking for that silver bullet that makes you appear well rested when you're not? As it turns out, a bold green, blue, or purple liner can do the trick, according to Real Simple magazine. It gives you just a touch of eye-brightening tint - use the colored pencil to trace the inner third of your lash line, top and bottom. Line the rest with your everyday brown or black for balance, then brush on a neutral shadow. Viola! No more dull and haggard! Give this 5-minute WOW a chance!

Suggested liner to instantly awake your eyes: 

CoverGirl LiquilineBlast Eye Liner

                                                              

make this YOUR essential fragrance

Essential Faith is one-of-a-kind unisex fragrance...really, it is! Don't believe us? Essential Faith works with each individual's own natural body chemistry, activated by body heat, providing each person with their own unique fragrance. All-natural, hand selected oils from Indonesia bring the essence of a simple, fresh scent and preserve the subtlety of their exotic source. It smells slightly different on everyone, and no two individuals will smell alike! Still not completely convinced? Come in today to find out what your unique smell is! 

Forward MARCH...Straight Into Nolita!!

We hate to brag, but it seems the gang at Nolita is ahead of the game when it comes to fall trends.  We've been obsessed with the military look this month -- muted, rich army greens and browns and sexy, skinny interpretations of classic cargo pants.  Want proof this is THE look for the dropping temperatures?  Check out Vogue's coverage of awesome army style as seen on the streets:

A Beautiful Fall...

Our “grunge chic” post yesterday got us thinking about fresh takes on fall beauty too – now that our wardrobe is changing, we think it’s time for a few tweaks to the rest of our routine. Here are a few of our fall essentials:

Love the idea of next-day, bedhead hair, but afraid you’ll look like a dirtball if you try it? Don’t worry, we’ve figured out how to solve the problem: dry shampoo. It’s genius because it not only saves your hair from drying hot water and damaging styling; it gives us amazing texture (and isn’t fall all about texture?). Pick up a can at CVS or Walgreens (TRESemme` makes a good one) or splurge at sephora.com, and start saving time and water!

Hair isn’t the only thing that dries out when the temperature drops. Keep lips and skin hydrated and pretty with all-in-one products like tinted moisturizer and lip balm (find the Fresh version pictured below at Missoula’s own SkinChic!), and cream eyeshadow in flattering, neutral colors. Our kai body lotion and butter are the perfect finishing touch to your updated fall beauty routine – super hydrating with a delicious, rich gardenia scent.

Missoula.... We love it :)

So here's the scoop... We went to the Jewel when she came through our humble abode. Couldn't help but fall in love...Empty stage, just a girl and her guitar. WOW. When you thought the night couldn't get any better i.e. a glass of wine, beautiful lighting, amazing vocals, and great lyrics... the darling gal wrote and sang this little diddy..

Grungy is chic!

Take a dressy top and wear it casual. Hair a mess? Is it one of those days? Rock a dressed up top with with a little bit of GRUNGE. Pair this look with some holey jeans, a pair of converse, and some sunglasses. Don't forget to NOT look in the mirror.

The ultimate fall staple...Seven's Skinny Bootcut! Size refill expected this week!
