I’ll be wearing these Level 99 jeggings in lipstick on the plane.  Planes are never the perfect temperature so I prefer to wear pants even if I am headed somewhere tropical.  These bright red ones are perfect!  Did I mention I could sleep in them they’re so comfortable?  I probably will sleep in them considering our flight to Houston is at 6am.  I’m a seasoned traveler and have trained myself to fall asleep immediately when I get on a plane, train, bus or any moving vehicle that I’m not driving.

I’m bringing this Plenty by Tracy Reese chemise dress for my Mom.. because she deserves it!  Older Mature ladies have issues with showing their arms.. so this is perfect.

We usually venture to the West End one night to my dad’s favorite restaurant on the island, The Vintage Pearl.  I like to get dressed up for the locals so I’ll be wearing this dress.. another from Plenty by Tracy Reese.

Oh what’s that?  I have to wear a swimsuit in the middle of January?  No worries, I’ll be bringing one of my favorites from the new line we picked up in Vegas last August!  So, SO excited for all of you to find your perfect swimsuit at Sam’s Closet this year.  Seriously, these fit perfectly and give you whatever you need (boost, support, coverage) in all the right places.

I will probably own every color and pattern by the end of the summer.  Much like sunglasses, I have a problem with owning more swimsuits than I could ever possibly need.  The best thing about these?  All of the solid colors can go back with at least one pattern.  So mix and match and you could wear a different combination every day on the beach!  Love.

Let’s see.. because I habitually over pack for everything I’ll probably throw in these wedges by Elaine Turner, just in case.  Because you never know when you’ll be invited somewhere fancy on an island.  And God forbid you don’t have the right shoes.  (Does everyone think like this, or is it just me?)

Since I’ve spent all this time telling you all what I’m packing instead of actually packing I must go throw everything into my suitcase and get to sleep early for my 4am wake-up call!  See you all on FRIDAY, February 3rd when we reopen!  Y’all are going to be obsessed with the changes we’ve made!  Plus, in case you missed my facebook post yesterday, we got Level 99 colored denim in Aqua, Tangerine, Grey, White and more Lipstick!  My roommate Grace has already claimed one of each.  Come get ‘em!  Also, new stingray bracelets from Leighelena that are sure to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day.  It’s comin’ in hot.  And we don’t think there’s any shame in telling your boyfriend/husband/manfriend exactly what you want (from Sam’s Closet).  Have a fabulous week!

The sun was playing some tricks on my camera, but you get the idea.  I LOURVE this outfit.  (I should, I picked it.  Just sayin’.)  But seriously, the color blocking is ah-mazing.  The top is Annie Griffin, the snood is cashmere by KOKUN and the pea coat is Ali Ro. These Henry & Belle white jeans are seriously to die for.  All white everything; stitching and label included.  The Elaine Turner cork wedges?  You’ll wear them with everything!

These green Level 99 jeggings are so cool..  St. Patty’s day anyone?  (I know it’s a month and a half away, but can you find green when you really need it?  No.  So go ahead and get them now.)  Shout out to Blue Mercury for letting us use their window.. those blue potters looked great with the KOKUN cashmere sweater we chose for Mary.  Are you lucky enough to be going on a fabulous cruise or an island getaway this month?  This Elaine Turner bag will take you everywhere you need to go.

The construction continues at Sermet’s Corner and we live with the constant sound of drilling and hammering and a never ending string of debris and construction workers.   So we (I) figured if you can’t beat ‘em,  join ‘em!  We will be closed next week to build out our dressing rooms!  So… shop online or call me if you have to have something and want me to open the store just for you.  VIP, that’s right.  Until we reopen on February 3rd, check out our website for new arrivals and sale items!

See ya in February! xox, Sam’s Closet

Sam’s Closet & Santa are making a collaborative effort to make YOU the happiest girl in the world this holiday season. Yes, what a year it has been, and those boots you spotted on page-who-knows of InStyle are in our window. Of course you deserve them! Also, the super sexy black Ali Ro sequin dress you have been eyeing is an essential New Year’s Eve staple. Caution: beware of an overwhelming amount of compliments .

Luckily, we offer the convenience of shopping on our website as well as in store (please check back for more information on extended holiday hours).

Her designs incorporate the use of feathers, metals, leather, felts, and ribbons so well – it’s almost impossible for Eugenia Kim hats not to be a runway staple every season.

July is here and we are officially in full summer swing at the Closet.  We had the lovely Mary in the store on Thursday morning for FOUR hours, tirelessly trying on all of our new arrivals.  I did a little mid-summer shopping so you can too!  Enjoy!

This is a great summer dress for these CRAZY hot days we’ve been having in Charleston!  Keep in mind that our gorgeous model is 5′ 10″… so for most of us the dresses won’t be as short as they are on her.

Snag this skirt before it’s gone!  Only $48 and so cute!

This dress is great for the workin’ woman (who likes to party).  Wear it with flats to the office and throw on wedges to go out for happy hour with the girls!  Now that’s cute and functional, y’all.

Bradshaw likes to get in on the action.  She’s practicing her model face here.

We all oohed and ahhed over this dress when Mary put it on.  On the hanger- not great, on you- so cute!

The girls hard at work.. just another day at the Closet.

Mary is still smiling at this point, we must not be half way done!

We have sold this dress like crazy!  So light and the perfect color to go with your summer tan.  I’m reordering on Monday so we should have more in by the end of next week!

This dress is so cute!  Everything you’ve seen here is lightweight and easy to throw on without much thinking.  Keepin’ it simple.. and cool!  It’s sweltering outside in Charleston right now so I hope you’re at the beach or in a pool!  But if not come shop, I promise we have the AC on full blast!

I’m working on putting everything on the website right now.. there were a lot of pics!

Have a fabulous weekend!
