Purchase of the Week - Leslie

This is my most recent purchase from the store. It is a Michael Stars' tunic that is just awesome. It is so comfortable and I just love the color. Right now and into the Summer, I will wear it over skinny or regular jeans or pair it with some white pants and heels. I cannot wait for the fall though when I can put on some boots and throw my leather jacket over it. I LOVE transitional pieces! We have it in white and in this great color shown!

Warm Weather

Vogue.com

This pic just makes me happy. It makes me ready for summer time and nights out on the town with the girls. I know its only Monday, but it makes me look forward to the weekend!

Derby Time

Tomorrow is the "Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" and everyone is getting excited in the Bluegrass. The Kentucky Derby is a timeless tradition and the greatest event in the state. Mint Juleps, big hats, and beautiful horses all contribute to the ambiance of the Kentucky Derby. Worlds Apart hopes everyone has some exciting plans tomorrow whether its actually attending the race or having a get together with friends to watch. If you need any last minute outfits, you know where to find us!

Must Have - Sexy Back

This is one of our newest items in the store. Basically, it is a strapless bra that has a lace back to it. The point being if you have a low backed shirt, a strapless dress or even something sheer in the back, any onlooker will see the girly lace of your Sexy Back bra instead of a regular back of a bra. All of us at the store are dying for one! They really are the coolest, so come check them out!

Quote of the Day

When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!

Happy Earth Day!!!

Happy Earth Day to everyone! Come into the store at Lexington Green today and get a free seedling with a purchase of any item. The seedlings are Eastern Redbuds and Flowering Dogwoods. So, come on in and help us celebrate!

Lets Celebrate!

In celebration of Earth Day tomorrow...here are a few facts about the Earth that we think our interesting and good to know!

- Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to watch a TV for three hours -it's equivalent to half a gallon of gasoline.
- If every newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000 trees each year. Unfortunately only 27% of all American newspapers are recycled.
- April 22 is the first official day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and of Fall in the Southern hemisphere and was chosen to be Earth Day for this reason.

For a full list of facts about Earth Day, visit here.

Trend - Boyfriend Blazer

Quote of the Day

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. The have expression, modesty, sex-appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

- Yves Saint Laurent

It's Friday!

Here is a little inspiration for Derby. It's only two short weeks away!
