The event was a HUGE success thanks to our wonderful Melie Girls who came out bright and early to score great deals. Just in case you missed this one, the way our sales work is we have boxes labeled with various prices (nothing over $30) and it’s a free for all! The earlier you arrive, the more prime picking you have to score some awesome styles for up to 90% off retail price! How crazy is that?! If you couldn’t make it to this one, don’t worry our Fall sale will be here before you know it!

We know that emerald is the official color of 2013, but we’re loving its distant cousin MINT just a little too much right now! This softer shade from the green family is being seen everywhere and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Not only is it such a fun shade for the Spring season but the color just simply looks good on everyone! Fortunately, if you haven’t jumped on the mint band wagon yet Melie Bianco has you covered! Our gorgeous mint handbags are simply to die for , but don’t just take our word for it check them out yourself!

Happy first day of Spring everyone! With our new Spring Arrivals making their debut, we wanted to give you some outfit options to pair our lovely handbags with! Without further a due, see our 3 looks we’re sure you’re going to love this Spring!

High low skirts, dress and tops are all transferring into Spring from Fall and we couldn’t be more excited! Pair this trend with a wedge to lengthen your legs and a skinny belt to enhance your waistline. Add a fun colored bag like our Laoise in yellow and top it off with some great sunnies. You’re all set for a fun day out with the girls or a great day date!

Don’t you love a look which can transform from the office to a night out on the town? We have yet to meet a girl who doesn’t! Black and white is a great trend because it’s flattering and nearly everyone already has this color combo in their closet! Throw on a cardigan or blazer with flats for the office and spice it up with colored or textured heels for a night out!

With printed pants being all the rave this season we couldn’t help ourselves with this ensemble! Simply through on a bright fitted blazer and some heels and you’re ready for whereever the day may take you!

We began building relationships with bloggers nationwide and we couldn’t be more thrilled to watch each and every one of their careers blossom before our eyes. A majority of them have been seen in Lucky Magazine, Lookbook.nu and are Two Point Oh! LA members! Without further a due, let’s meet our girls!

LAURA

We had the pleasure of meeting Laura at the WWD MAGIC tradeshow this past August and have loved working with her ever since! Laura lives in Los Angeles and loves anything and everything fashion related. Her blog focuses on her outfits of the day along with her own jewelry line which she sells through Etsy.com. This girl is ambitious and we love seeing her wide array of attire each and every week. Check out her blog here.

KAITLIN

Kaitlin is our southern belle from Louisiana. She’s always throwing together fabulous ensembles which won’t break the bank. She makes it a point to take what she already has in her closet and mix and match different pieces to use them in infinite ways. She’s humble, down to earth and sweeter than honey! Check out her blog here.

NEEKOH

We came across Neekoh’s blog by sheer accident and boy are we glad we did! If you’re looking for trendy ensembles, or simply just want to be fashion inspired, check out her blog here.

AN

An is one of the kindest bloggers we have ever had! She’s always posting new ways to wear the same accessories but with different outfits and we praise her for that! Check out her blog here and don’t forget to see the AH-MAZING shoe closet her hubby made her. We’re crazy jealous!

CARRIE

Carrie puts a fresh spin on mixing and matching. Whether it’s prints, colors, pieces from her closet, etc. she is pulling off looks most girls could only dream of. She’s fierce, takes risk and we’re completely smitten with her. Check out her blog here.

ERICA

Erica brings a sophisticated cute-ness vibe to the table. Her style is vintage meets trendy meets classic. She can pretty much pull off any type of attire she wants and we’re crazy envious of that! Check out more about Erica on her blog here.

ELIZABETH

Elizabeth is a great fashion blogger who is ALWAYS posting great outfits which are styled to perfection. She’s got a fashion eye and isn’t afraid of letting the world know that no matter if you’re wearing Forever21 or Christian Louboutins you can still look fabulous! Check her out here.

ENOCHA

Enocha’s blog has a little bit of everything: Glamour, Sparkle ‘n Shine, Edgy, Modern, etc. You name it she’s done it. Check out her fierce style here.

ERICA

We met Erica at WWD MAGIC in Las Vegas last August and have loved all of her posts thereafter. She doesn’t stick strictly to fashion and we love that about her! Check out her blog here.
