2tee Couture at Dallas & Atlanta Market

Just recently the 2tee Couture team packed up and headed to the Dallas and Atlanta Apparel Markets. This year our team was blown away by the warm welcome and excitement surrounding the new Noa Elle line presented by 2tee Couture at Atlanta Apparel.

The people of Atlanta joined us in a stunning fashion show. The runway was taken over by 2tee Couture and the crowd was buzzing about the gorgeous devision line that is Noa Elle.

We were happy to see familiar faces. Cindy from True Blue Boutique stopped by Dallas wearing the 2tee Couture Savannah top! 2tee Couture designer Sigal Levi wore the new Taylor Tribal with white denim.

Our customers always look beautiful in our clothing. We are extremely blessed to be able to meet them in Dallas! Mary from True Blue Boutique wore 2tee Couture’s Lilly top and designer Sigal Levi wore the Angel top.

During Atlanta Apparel Vicki from Elite Tan stopped by and modeled the Carrie top. We love seeing customers looking beautiful in a 2tee Couture design!

Both shows were a huge success and we could not have been happier. Below is the 2tee Couture team in action!

From the 2tee Couture and Noa Elle family we thank you all for letting us introduce our collections for Spring. We can not wait to see you all again!

Lilly Top Style Session with 2tee Couture

Our Lilly top has been a huge hit this season! Inspired by our love of anything boho, we deem Lilly to be the “new vintage” top. Not only is it appropriate for the holidays, it also transitions well into Spring. We’ve decided to show you how to style this beautiful chiffon and lace combo. Below are two of our favorite Lilly looks. We hope you like it just as much as we liked styling them!

Sweet Bohemian

Channel your inner Bohemian by selecting statement pieces. We love turquoise stones, fringe suede bags and precious metals as accents to the outfit. The fringe shoulder bag sets the tone of the style and the accessories add the right amount of color.

Luxe Bohemian

We chose to style the mauve Lilly top more elegantly. The outfit looks effortlessly chic with the help of the floppy hat and riding boots. Throw on a pair of heels to dress it up even further for a date night. Trust us, the details won’t go unnoticed.

Now that we have you covered here at 2tee Couture we can’t wait to see your take on styling the Lilly top!

Printed Pants!

If you haven’t noticed, we are OBSESSING over printed pants or anything that looks a little bit out of the norm. Printed pants are made for girls who aren’t afraid to stand out in the crowd and add the fun factor to every outfit. We’re here to tell you that everyone should own at least one pair of printed pants to spice up their closet. If you’re scared of prints, opt for a different material than denim so that it stands out.

How do you wear printed pants?

1. Choose a solid top – Most of the pants, like our Aztec leggings, will have multiple colors which allow you to mix and match with a variety of different solids.
2. Match them to three items in your closet –Try not to invest in pants with a color scheme that doesn’t match your closet. When choosing your pants/leggings, picture which three items in your closet could match them. Often, people purchase pants they like only to find out that they can’t pair it up with anything else!
3. Do not wear it with another print – Unless you are an experienced fashionista, it takes a lot of practice and understanding of shapes and colors to match prints. Try to avoid the mixing them with other prints until you are 100% comfortable with it.
4. Wear neutral shoes –  some choose to wear bright solid shoes like Beyonce does, but we prefer wearing neautrals – stick to whites, grays, blacks and nudes.
5. Wear minimal accessories – you have two options for accessories. You can choose to wear one statement necklace – because it will be relatively far from the print, it won’t seem too busy. Your other choice is to wear simple and delicate jewelry such as a small pendant necklace and thin bangles. The choice is left to you, but remember not to take away from the print!

How to Travel and Stay Fashionable

We’re going to travel a lot the next month, so we were inspired to share with you some of the tricks we learned a long the way. If you rarely travel, traveling can be fun and the excitement to go somewhere new keeps you surprisingly patient. However, if you travel a lot like we do, you may find that traveling can be exhausting and maintaining a routine that keeps you looking fresh can be hard – oh yeah, and packing gets pretty annoying too!

Luckily, we’ve found ways to travel and stay fashionable. Here’s some of the tips we’ve picked up along the way:

1. Stay Comfortable – Try to avoid wearing jeans or anything that limits your ability to move. Instead wear leggings. The best part of leggings is that you can buy printed leggings, like our snakeskin leggings, so you don’t have to stick to those boring black ones!
2. Avoid over-accessorizing – With the current security situation at airports, it’s probably best to wear minimal accessories because you’ll be taking it all off. We suggest avoiding belts and bracelets that have clasps. Additionally, choose shoes that can easily slip on and off.
   
3. Stay Refreshed – Traveling  a lot have have a serious impact on your skin. All you need to carry in your purse is a toothbrush, moisturizer, mascara, concealer, lip gloss and a travel sized perfume. You don’t want too much makeup because touching up gets tedious and uncomfortable. These items serve as a way to touch up. If you’re traveling international flights, you may want to add a facial wash and a water spray like Evian Mineral Water Spray, which serves as a toner.
4. Wear Dark Clothing –  This may seem trivial, but airplanes can get messy. We suggest wearing dark colors in case something spills – this is especially important on long international flights.
5. Travel Light – Yes, we know it’s easier said than done (and it does take practice). The trick to packing light is choosing clothing that can be worn multiple times over the span of your trip. To do this, you’ll need to coordinate outfits and make sure that you aren’t packing something just because you like it. Those fancy shoes you want to pack because they’re pretty? Probably not a good idea. Instead, opt for a neutral colored top that could be dressed up or down like our oversized ruffle top.

We’ve traveled wearing our oversized ruffle top and leggings several times and we can definitely say that we felt great traveling. This time around, we’ll most likely sport our updated snakeskin leggings!

Do you have any travel advice you’d like to share with us?

Leather Rules!

We saw so much leather on the Spring 2013 runways this season – whether it be coats, pants, skirts, dresses or basic applique – it was everywhere!

What is it about leather that we love so much? Its quite simple, actually. Leather is versatile. Depending on the piece, leather can dress you up or dress you down. It can add edge to any outfit while remaining feminine – or it can be completely rock n’ roll.

Isabel Marant Spring 2013

Balenciaga Spring 2013

 

 

Although we were inspired by leather on the runways, we felt that is lacked a bit of color. The leather pieces were predominantly white, black, red and with few neutrals. Yes, those colors are great, but at the same time  – it’s Spring/Summer!! We believe that colors should be bright and bold for summer to match the beautiful sunny days that await us.

Not many people could dress like runway models (it’s not always very practical), so we decided to make something a little bit more simple: Faux leather leggings. And no, these leggings aren’t black, white or red. We brought them in coral, mint and pearl! We want you to stay bright and make a statement during the summer! We also want you to have a wardrobe stable that changes every time you wear a different top!
