Ruche's Big Day

Ever since I opened Ruche, my goal was to create an online catalog/lookbook. I currently have a lookbook on my site, but I just don't think it is going to cut it. I need professional photos with real models! So this weekend, I've set up a photo shoot with an awesome photographer, three of the most adorable models, along with a makeup artist and hairstylist. I'm going all out baby! This is my first time doing this and I'm having a fun time so far, except it has been really stressful at times. I had the models drop by for a fitting. It was just so cool to see real ladies getting all "Ruched" up. Seeing them on a real person is way different. I will try to document the photo shoot and post it up next week. Wish me luck ladies!

How to Tie a Scarf

I hope you have dropped by ShopRuche.com lately because we got some awesome new scarves! I had a lot of fun trying out the different ways I can tie the scarves. The possibilities are almost endless! How'd I do?



If only I found this site before I started: 25 Ways to Tie a Scarf. This was actually written in the 1960's by Sears! I think every girl needs a print out of this cheat sheet! Look at how many different ways you can tie a scarf! My fav and one that I'll probably be trying soon is #19. I guess the first three doesn't count but I wanted to include it because these are the basics to start you off. You can view the previous link for detailed tying directions.



These are actually only a few ways. Here are some links to more creative ways to tie a scarf.

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
