Playing on Polyvore
It has been a while since I've played around with polyvore. It is amazing what some people could do! Some of them are sooo creative! With many attempts, here was the best I could do. I called it "Chocolate Mint".
Here are some of my favorites among many:

Shoes Shoes Shoes!
I've finally gotten some time to update my blog. Fall is coming and that means its time for some fall shoes (and clothes of course). Ruche is still working on getting you some new fall apparel must haves, but we did update the site with fall shoes! I found some awesomes that you might like. I was browsing the net and of course my Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters catalogs to find fall shoe trends. And as most of you may already, the high heel oxfords are totally hot for fall.
They are absolutely adorable with a short skirt and pantyhoses. They look good with some skinny pants too. Images below are from the new Urban Oufitters Fall catalog.
Below are new shoes now available at Shopruche.com. Sizes are limited for the first round of stock, so get them while your sizes are still available. My favorites are the "gray studded pointy heels" and the "tie me up taupe heel strap".
More NEW ITEMS can be seen here.
We've also restocked on a couple things:
going seagreen organic top
black houndstooth scarf
deep purple floral chiffon skirt

fray and flowers chiffon dress
JUST IN at Ruche! Fray and Flowers Chiffon Dress
Shades of small purple flowers covers this black chiffon dress. Frays at the v-neck line. Halter tie around the neck and strap ties around the back of the waist.
I must say that this is one of my favorite dresses so far. What makes it so different is the fraying around the neckline....adorable. Wear it by itself or add a thicker belt for a vintage look.

Going Green....Seagreen
I hope you ladies are having fun with our "Name This Dress" Contest. We're having a blast going through the list of names! Everyone is so creative!! I must say some of them are pretty funny too (ex. "Pop My Cherry Blossom" hehe LOL). We've had 50 entries and there is 5 more days to go. I might have to start shortening the contests. Don't worry, this is only the first of many Ruche's "Name This" Contests.
On another note, do you know what the difference is between organic cotton and non-organic cotton? A whole bunch! But to simplify things, cotton is the most pesticide-dependent crop in the world, accounting for 25% of all pesticide use. Organic cotton is produced without the use of harsh chemical bleaches or dyes, and is allergy free.
We got a new item in today! The "Going Seagreen Organic Top" made with 100% organic cotton. The shirt is super soft and comfy. Going Green is a huge thing right now. This is the kind of bandwagon that Ruche would proudly join and support.
Going Seagreen Organic Top $32.99 - limited supplies
I was looking for some organic online shops but most of them are pretty expensive. But you can't blame the price because it IS organic cotton. Here is a site that I found somewhat affordable: kaightshop.com
I found this on their website for $38.75 (was $155)
Also cute and vintage looking for $45 (was $180)
We've restocked on:
mellow mustard embroidery sundress
latte polka dotty dress
Get them soon while they're still in stock!

What a GOOD day
Oh my goodness...Okay, I'm a lil starstruck right now because I think Richard Chai actually read my last blog post!!!! Why do I think so? Please read the comments on my last post! Richard Chai, if you ever read this...You just made my day (actually week)!!!
.
.
ahh!

You know what else made my day? TJMaxx sent me a $200 gift card for joining and being active in their What's In Community. I guess they went searching for bloggers and I was fortunate to be included. I haven't gone to TJMaxx in a while, so I was pretty amazed at what they had. They had a pretty decent collection of denim jeans - 7 for all mankind, Joie, R&R, Chip & Pepper, Joes, and some others. I decided to stay away from designer names today and did some budget shopping instead.
I got 3 bottoms and 3 tops....that's like 9 different outfits! hehe
Here is what $80 got me:
American Eagle jeans $19.99, American Eagle shorts $12.99, Rampage white shorts $14.00, Willi Smith white tank $12.99, NY Company ruched tee $7.99, LA Made tank $10.00
I love solid colors because they are so easy to mix and match. You would be amazed what a difference accessories can do to a plan solid color outfit. Maybe when I get a chance, I'll take some pictures of what sort of outfits I can make with my new purchases + some accessories.
