In Spring-Summer 2024, sustainability reigns supreme. We are constantly on the lookout for measures that have a positive impact on the environment and the local community.
As this is the annual My City “Bridal Issue” I want to set the tone for this month’s “My Style” piece with some recent wedding statistics from Vogue and Pinterest.
Times are tough for many, the world is in turmoil and clothing designers responded to this with a palette of predominantly black & white AND GRAY looks on last fall’s runways, forecasting for early 2024. Safe? Yes, but also pragmatic.
For our final article of 2023, Team SHIFT wants to start by expressing gratitude. We are grateful for the opportunity to share a little bit of our unique style knowledge with OUR city and My City readers, including seasonal trends, fabulous upcoming things to look for, best color pairings and so much more! We are grateful for our SHIFT shoppers, new and seasoned, and grateful that you are ready to SHIFT your vibe to positivity when reading MCM.
Tis the season for sweaters, sparkles, good cheer and, of course, gift-giving! Welcome to our Holiday Shopping Guide for gifts everyone is sure to love!
October brings cooler days and as the weather shifts, so should your style!
Our Best Dressed features highlight local people who were nominated because they have a sense of style that makes a statement: fashion forward, professional, effortless or dramatic … their looks let elements of their personalities shine through. We were granted an opportunity to take photos on the campus of Mott Community College, which celebrates their centennial this year. Our thanks to Marketing & Communications Manager, Bob Campbell, for his assistance with access to the locations.
Are you ready for the change of seasons? You can snag a few trendy sweaters and a new pair of cute boots … but what about your hairstyle? It could be time to try something different – or, maybe it’s a good time to switch up your hair care routine with new products. MyCity asked our 2023 City’s Choice Award-winning Hairstylist, Lia Beaudrie of Refinery Hair Co. to share some expert tips for starting the season with great hair.
My personal interior design style is inspired by many factors. I gravitate toward peaceful art with soft colors, textures of fringe, warm leathers, mixing patterns and warm woods against airy backgrounds. If possible, I also love to make the interior space complement the home’s exterior style, its age and setting. I like the choices inside to reflect the overall character of the home. For example, you would feel surprised and confused if you walked into a cute bungalow that had charming details on the outside and modern, simplistic or sleek finishes on the inside. I would want to bring that outside feeling indoors.
This season, clothing trends and styles for kids are both basic and unique! For example, grade-schoolers will love graphic tees and jeans with embroidery or patches which can be new and trendy. However, as always, kid’s clothing for this age group needs to withstand quite a bit of wear and tear! With this in mind, we recommend sticking to cotton T-shirts and classic jeans that won’t break the bank when they need to be replaced, especially with the speed at which kids grow out of things.
The SHIFT team has already begun tracking the best fall fashion trends to look forward to when temperatures start to drop … again. But if you’re like us and you aren’t ready to think about the next round of cooler weather just yet, you can still shop our favorite spring/summer fashion trends while there’s still time to prep your wardrobe for layering season!
