Whit + LC

2012-01-24T09:43:00.003-06:00

My favorite thing to do ever is recreating celebrity outfits with my own pieces. Whitney Port & Lauren Conrad are my current inspirations. They inspire me to "break the rules" in a way. They always find a way to make pieces work year round. As a Texas girl it is safe to say that over half my closet is dresses and skirts since it's always warm & sunny. But here in Fayetteville I definitely have to dress for the four different seasons and there is no point of only wearing something a couple months a year. So that's why whit and lauren are the perfect inspirations, even in the fall and winter they still rock summer dresses. My favorite way to do this is to put tights under spring dresses so I can stay warm. Another great way is to add a blazers over a tank or dress so you still get to wear the fun colors but are season appropriate.

Let's Get Dotty!

Polka dots- an updated classic! This retro-chic print is back in full force! Work a single piece – from a silky blouse to a flouncy skirt – or mix colors and dot sizes for a super cute and edgy look!

We're stock full of lots of dots at Riffraff!

Live In Color

2012-01-19T11:42:00.000-06:00

One of the major trends we’re seeing in clothing for Spring 2012 is COLOR! Bright, bold and eye-catching colors will be stocking store shelves come Spring, and we are OH so excited about it all available for you right here at Riffraff! Color is ultimately what defines an outfit, and can give a look an extra pop that’s sure to turn some heads!

Wearing bright colors can be a great way to express your own unique style and personality, but bright colors can be a bit tricky. I love bright colors, but I also know that when buying clothes I tend to buy more neutral tones because I think I’ll get more use out of them. That being said, a great way to spice up your favorite basics could be to throw a sheer, bright top over your favorite little black dress, wear a bold statement necklace with your favorite every day tee, or toss on a flashy scarf! This is sure to add a little pazazz to your wardrobe!!!

My best advice is to not be afraid of color this spring! If you are hesitant on wearing flashy colors from head to toe start by buying bright accessories and mixing them in with some of your favorite basics!

Bold statement necklaces can add that extra pop or color, without being over the top!

Look for easy ways to acheive this look this spring right here at Riffraff!

Xoxo, Tarah

give a card, make a day!

2012-01-14T13:44:00.000-06:00

In this day and age the art of sending and giving cards has been forgotten. We live in a world where mail is sent via the internet rather than the post office, where e-cards have replaced greeting cards. What about the joy of receiving and opening a letter in the mail? We want to bring it back!! At the store we have a huge variety of sappy, funny, sweet, and artsy cards for literally every occasion. Make someone's day and send them a card! Here are just a few of our personal favorites...

you and me dino card

all endings are also beginnings, we just don't know it at the time

you so fly

holy shit! it's your birthday

it's days like these i wish i had long monkey arms like you,
that way whenever we missed each other we could
just stick out our arms and practically touch.

in between carpool and getting our tattoos removed we must celebrate

you're just my type

congratu freakin lations!

Good & Fair Clothing

2012-01-13T17:46:00.001-06:00

This past week we introduced an exceptional line on our floor that you need to know about! Good & Fair is a Fair Trade company based out of Austin Texas who feature an all-organic line of tees and undergarments.

Here at Good & Fair Clothing, we are dedicated to using only fair trade and organic materials. We ensure fair wages for cotton farmers and garment workers internationally, as well as provide resources for those fighting to get out of poverty within our own community. Operating this way is challenging for sure, but we believe it's work worth doing.

The clothes we wear tell a story. Good & Fair Clothing gives us the opportunity to tell a story of respect, dignity, fairness and ultimately, love. People you have never met, whose hands make our garments and grow the cotton, were treated with respect and retained their dignity through honest work. They were paid fairly for their time and energy. Help us change the world by supporting Fair Trade and organic supply chains, like the one used to make our garments. Together our clothes can tell a better story: a Good & Fair story.

FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED

Good & Fair Clothing is a licensee of Fair Trade USA (formerly, TransFair USA). Our clothing is Fair Trade Certified from the bottom up. We work with Fair Trade Certified production facilities to produce our tee shirts, ladies underwear and men's boxers. Our supply chain is fair trade from the farm to the factory. This is new territory in the fair trade world. We are one of the first clothing companies to sell Fair Trade USA certified goods.

100% ORGANIC COTTON

Our cotton garments are certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The farmers who grew the cotton used in our garments were paid fairly for their cotton and farmed according to organic standards.

Will you be my friend?

2012-01-11T10:41:00.001-06:00

I feel as if I went to sleep and woke up in the early 90s. I have fond memories of friendship bracelets, making them, trading them, and collecting them when I was younger. I wore them around my ankle, tied them onto the zipper of my pencil case, or stacked them up my wrist. To my joyful surprise, friendship bracelets seem to be making a comeback in bright hues to compliment the ever-so popular Spring trend. Starlets like Amanda Seyfried, Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie have been rocking their BFF Bracelets and so should you.

I consider myself a very lucky lady to be surrounded by a pack of lovely girlfriends and some who will be accompanying me at NWAFW where, you got it… we’ll be flaunting this spring’s fun and quirky trend with confidence!

So in the spirit of friendship, dig out your old school friendship bracelets as well as check out the darling Bfrend Friendship Bracelet’s Riffraff (www.facebook.com/RiffraffFayetteville) will retail this spring! I’m a supah fan of all these fun colors and designs and the nostalgia they represent. Be sure to check my blog next (www.kirstenblowers.com) next week for a chevron pattern tutorial for your own DIY BFF bracelet.

- love, Kirsten

edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros

2011-11-18T01:21:00.000-06:00

If you haven't heard of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, it's about time! One of our very favorite bands, they recreate the sounds of the 60's and 70's with a slightly modern twist. Edward Sharpe's music has even been compared to The Beatles and The Doors. On their album Up From Below is a brilliant song simply called Home. You can't help but feel happy listening to it!

We were so inspired, that we have new tshirts with the chorus from Home printed on them! "Home is wherever I'm with you." We love that such a simple and sweet phrase can carry so much weight.

available through facebook or in our store for $32

"Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Not the way that I do love you
Holy roly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you
Man, oh man, you’re my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothin’ that I need
Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain’t nothin’ please me more than you"

"Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home"

Last LOVE LIST from the September Issues!! Our final compilation comes from none other than Vogue. We are absolutely obsessed with the 60's theme and feel of the photo shoot. The woman portrayed is definitely feminine, but with an independent edge. We've recreated her business casual look with an array of items that can all be found on our facebook page or in our store! Enjoy!!

Shout out to all of our Gossip Girl fans out there!!! Are you as excited about season five as we are? If so, get even more excited because we just got in this stellar, mustard dress and couldn't help but notice that it screams Blair Waldorf. This dress is fun and flowy - making it perfect for a party - but it also has a small black bow around the neckline, giving it a touch of Blair's Upper East Side sophistication!

Annndd, life just got a little bit better, because for the next two days (Thurs. & Fri.) all of our dresses are 20% off, including the fabulous Blair dress!! Don't miss out!

2011-09-21T23:52:00.000-05:00

Autumn is on the way... and in Northwest Arkansas fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, however, the weather can be slightly chilly. At Riffraff we're not complaining though, because we are obsessed with our fall and winter apparel!!!

Thus, for our second September Issue "love list" we were looking for a photo shoot with fall/winter garments. We fell in love with a spread in Elle called 'Hide and Seek'. The heavy furs combined with rich, gem tones makes for an elegant yet earthy feel. Knits and furs are also fabulous because they're oh so cozy without being frumpy.

Below, we've recreated the photo shoot with pieces from Riffraff, but with apparel appropriate for everyday! One of our very favorite items is the High Waisted Wide Leg Camel Pant. At $52, they're hard to pass up!! Come into the store or check facebook [http://www.facebook.com/RiffraffFayetteville] to purchase items off of our "love list".

across the pond

2011-09-18T18:43:00.000-05:00

In the publication world, the September Issue for fashion mags is about as big as it gets. Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, and the rest go all out. Literally. The September Issue dictates wardrobes, and makes or breaks designers.

After scouring and studying every September Issue, we picked out our favorite editorial spreads from four of the major magazines. Then, using the spreads as inspiration, we recreated the looks with merchandise and apparel from Riffraff! Now you can rock designer trends, but in everyday clothing and on an affordable budget.

Our first "love list" was modeled after a photo shoot in Harper's Bazaar. We loved the British theme and strong primary colors. We hope you are as inspired as we were!

Qpon Revolution

2011-09-15T22:16:00.000-05:00

Attention all smart phone users… Riffraff is proud to announce that we are involved in the new Northwest Arkansas Qpon Revolution app! If you are from the central part of Arkansas you might already be aware of this app. They have now branched out into the northwest part of Arkansas and they plan to expand into Texas and Tennessee!

A little bit about how Qpon Revolution works. This is a free App that can be downloaded on you Iphone or Droid cellular device. Once you have the App you can browse to see what businesses in your area have “Qpons” available. The App is set up by categories, which makes it easy to navigate through to find just what you’re looking for! Once you’ve found a business that interest you, you can then become a “VIP” of that particular business, this will then allow for push notifications to notify you every time that business updates their coupons. Each business updates their coupons whenever they like, some can last for a month and others could last an entire year! Once you find a coupon that interests you, you can click redeem, once this is clicked the other screen of the coupon begins to spin, once the coupon begins spinning you then have 5 minutes to go to the register and redeem your coupon. After the 5 minutes are up the coupon is marked as used and cannot be used again on that same cellular device!

It is a pretty neat way of advertising, especially since almost everyone has a smart phone these days! So be sure and download this fabulous new App! Riffraff is proud to say that we are one of the first retailers to be a part of this App in Northwest Arkansas, and the team at Qpon Revolution are busy adding more and more businesses to the system each day!

SPOTTED at riffraff

2011-09-08T23:28:00.000-05:00

One of our favorite trends this fall is spots, polka dots, and everything in between! Spots are so simple, but make a huge statement at the same time. The best part is that dots/spots come printed on a variety of garments, thus there's always something for everyone's taste. We're personally fans of the dressy spot; it gives a drab, formal outfit a pop of fun!

<< [if you don't believe us check out this spread in the September issue of Elle, they love spots almost as much as we do]

No matter the occasion, don't forget to sport the spot this season... here are a few of our looks to help you get started!

[keep it classy with this flowy blouse] [dress it up or down, dotted tank]

we all scream for ice cream!

2011-08-16T21:23:00.000-05:00

The last few days of summer are quickly approaching (not a bad thing as it means new fall clothes!) but just how did the girls at Riffraff manage to survive the record breaking heat waves this year? With a little help from the local ice cream man of course!

Late one afternoon Kirsten and Tarah were working in the office when Kirsten suddenly jumped up and ran through the store out onto the square. Several very confused customers and shop girls watched her through the front windows, finally understanding when they saw an ice cream truck pull over. Kirsten bought a few of everything and came back inside to her eager employees. The front counter was covered in an array of ice cream sandwiches, popsicles, and fudge bars. After everyone had their pick, Kirsten and Alex delivered the remaining spiderman popsicle to weatherman Dan Skoff (who was outside attempting to fry an egg on the sidewalk!!).

Despite the miserable heat, Riffraff managed to stay cool and have fun!!! Email us your crazy stories about the summer heat at riffraffblogspot@gmail.com and we might post one on our blog!

A proposal at Riffraff!...

2011-06-14T19:50:00.001-05:00

Robert called Kirsten several weeks before the big day with his plans and man, were they good! He made this amazing framed etching of their names from the University of Arkansas' senior walk asking the big question. Dropped it off to Kirsten the week of the proposal along with a Bliss Cupcakes gift certificate. The day of, Kelly and Robert came into Riffraff to do some shopping making sure to run into Kirsten. She chatted and casually mentioned she had a left-over gift certificate for Bliss from a promotion they had earlier in the week. Excited, Kelly and Robert checked out and took a little walk to get some cupcakes after Kirsten yelled, "bring me one back!"

Kirsten and Tarah then scrambled knowing they didn't have much time. Grabbing the frame Kirsten jumped in Riffraff's windows and displayed it for everyone to see while Tarah ran to hide behind a car with the camera! We had many customers wander in during this time asking what the heck we were up to only to stick around and watch because let's face... who doesn't LOVE a proposal?!

Tarah gave the signal to Kirsten that Kelly and Robert were walking back down the street where they took a short stop in the Mustache. Upon their arrival back to Riffraff Robert got down on one knee and told Kelly to look at Kirsten in the window which is when she saw the frame with the big question and... She said yes!

Just some fun summer pictures!...

Joplin Relief!

2011-06-08T16:25:00.000-05:00

Two weeks ago we have a tarp drive for Joplin relief! We partnered with NWA's Cobblestone Project to gather as many tarps as we could in 24 hours to be taken to Joplin to be used on existing homes with roof damage to shield from oncoming rain. As an incentive we have back a $25 gift certificate to anyone and everyone who brought in tarps. We were able to gather 34 tarps in 24 hours! SO amazed by our wonderful customers!

goofy afternoons...

Block Street Block Party 2011!

2011-06-05T19:23:00.000-05:00

On May 22nd our lovely Block Street had one heck of a party! If you weren't there you totally missed out. We handed out FREE tu-tu's to anyone who stopped by and there was a lot of ya! We probably made around 300 tu-tu's that graced the wonderful festival. We also had paint brush in hand and painted some pretty awesome mustaches on some pretty little faces. Here's just a few pictures we were able to take. Be sure to come out next year as it'll be bigger and better!
