It’s finally about to be July and with the changing of the month comes one of our favorite summer holidays - the 4th of July! This holiday is so special and full of summertime fun, making memories with loved ones, and celebrating the United States' freedom! Here at Maude, we wanted to put together a few outfits that will be perfect for whatever plans you have for this upcoming Monday!
Pool Day
Hanging around the water, listening to your favorite music, all while soaking up the sun sounds like an ideal Fourth of July to us! Put on a cute swimsuit and grab those matching sunglasses for a stylish pool outfit. Add a coverup and then you’ll have the perfect ensemble for a day on the lake or lounging by the pool. We love our Levi’s Ribcage Shorts that are perfect to toss on over your swimsuit!

Comfy Outfit for Watching Fireworks
We all know watching a fireworks show under the stars is one of the best parts of the Fourth! The bright colors, the anticipation of which firework is coming next, and that summertime feeling you get when watching fireworks with all your favorite people is so special. Summer nights can get a little cool sometimes so this outfit is a great choice for whatever temperature it is. The bright colors on this FRNCH top will definitely make your outfit pop like a firecracker!
Casual Outfit for the Family BBQ
Nothing says summer like sitting outside while grilling on a hot, sunny day. A family BBQ is the perfect way to celebrate Independence Day, especially after laying out in the sun all day! An easy way to stay comfy and stylish is by throwing on a pair of cut off shorts and a graphic tee. We have so many different options in store that can be styled in so many different ways. Our current staff favorite is the Winky Face Oversized Tee paired with our Levi’s 501 Shorts!

Anita is someone in our community that we nominated to be the first #rolemaudel because of the impact she has made all around her! Anita is the founder of Potters House as well as a wife and mother.
We want everyone to get to know this sweet soul just a little more, so we had her answer just a few questions:
6) If I had an alternative life I would…be the person who sets up chairs and umbrellas at the beach.
We love you Anita!

So… you might be starting to think about some gift ideas you want to get your wife, fiancé, girlfriend, sister, best friend, or even daughter! We put together a little list of some gift ideas based on love language types!
This personality type feels most loved when hearing about what they mean to you from genuine words! A great gift for this type would be a handwritten note! We have lots of cute, styled cards in stock right now that would make perfect gifts! Check out our “I love you more than La Croix” card!
This type of person feels most loved when you set out planned time to be with them and give them your full attention! So, hear us out… date night! What a better way to show this type of person that you love them with a little date night, girl’s night out, or just a fun night of spending time with whoever you love! To top it off give them a pair our popular Ruffle Hem Blouse with our Levi Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans as a gift to wear for this very special night!
Oooo, trust us, if this is their love language, anything that shows you were thinking of them and hearing them will mean the world! Even if that thing is small! A few ideas we had are our 18k Oval Earrings or Brunch Scrunchie!
This one might cause you to do a little extra work! Here is a play by play: wake up a bit early and make her coffee (or get it from her favorite coffee shop) or breakfast in bed! As you bring this to her give her a small gift like our Self-care Planner or To Hell with Housework tee! She will LOVE it!
First things first… start the morning with a big BEAR HUG! After that plan a snuggle nighttime extravaganza with a Satin Eye Mask and Voluspa Glass Jar Candle! Don’t forget to pop the popcorn and scratch her back! ;)
Leave us a comment below and let us know what your love language is or a gift your getting someone this valentines day! oh and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Hello lovelies,
The holiday season is upon us again. Now the big question is; what do you give the woman who means the world to you? Give her gifts she will love and presents that she will use throughout the year. Think about what she likes, her style, and the things that interest her. Has she given you any hints in the months leading up to the holidays?
There's nothing better than presenting someone you love with a nicely wrapped present and watch their eyes light up as they unwrap it. Instead of frantically worrying about whether or not you succeeded in buying her gifts she will love, let the team at Maude help you hit it out of the park. Rather than buying her a shirt, spend time picking out the perfect pullover. Don't just buy her expensive jewelry. Choose something that will complete her wardrobe. Snag pieces of warm weather gear that she'll find irresistible.
From scarves and beanies to candles and lotions, you can't go wrong if you follow Maude's holiday gift guide. Trust us to fill you in on what's on trend and what deserves a pass. We have an assortment of gifts she will love so much that she'll put your name on the “nice” list.
Also, this year we've started a wish list system; just come to our store and pick out the presents you would like to have and we will keep track of them via the wish list! We've just made your holiday shopping that much easier!
Read on to see 10 perfect gift ideas for all the girlfriends in your life....
Candles are a foolproof gift in our opinion. Everyone loves having a candle, not only for the warm light it gives off, but also for aromatherapy.
2. Shoes
This season's favorite shoe is proving to be booties. Get a pair of our Maxwell Buckle Boot for the fashionista in your life and she'll be raving about them all winter long!
3. Hand Creams
The beauty lover in your life will love this skincare product...our personal favorite is the Illume Mini Hand Creams. We have been loving this line and so will she!
4. Knit Beanies
Can you say beanie weather? The adorable puff on our Knit Puff Beanie will be turning heads like our friend Moose here, that's for sure! Fashion that makes a statement is our thing.
5. Earrings
We may have to keep a pair of our 14k Gold Dipped Earring Set for ourselves because not only are they beautiful, but they are only $15.90!
6. Necklaces
Let's face it ladies, nothing beats a statement necklace. Gift your fashion guru one of our Embellesh Crescent Necklaces this holiday season.
7. Mantra Bands
A delicate cuff bracelet is a necessity for any accessory-loving lady! Our mantra bands have become a popular gift item! They are simple, elegant bracelets with uplifting messages; promoting a lifestyle of optimism, positivity, and mindfulness.
8. Organizers & Note Writers
2018 Calendars, Meal Planners, and Greeting Cards make for perfect stocking stuffers!
9. Make Up Bags
We all have a self-proclaimed beauty buff on our friend list. And every beauty babe needs a trusty cosmetic bag. Our favorite is definitely our Initial Dopp Kit found online and in-store!
10. Coffee Mugs & Cozy Sweaters
Give the gift of cozy this Christmas with a coffee mug and I Need Coffee Sweatshirt! These gifts would be perfect for those days when the weather is too cold to bear. Stay warm friends!
So much chic, so little time. It's hard to decide which one to pick up for your most fashionable friend...or for yourself! We hope this has brought you one step closer to getting your Christmas shopping done!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!!

Hello loves,
With Thanksgiving Day right around the corner we thought it would be appropriate to share some ideas for what to wear for a day full of entertaining, feasting and family/friends photo ops! We also thought we would share pieces that you will enjoy wearing throughout the Fall/Winter season.
Take a look!
Casual Style
Our Ruffle Sleeve Chunky Knit Sweater paired with our Levi's Wedgie Icon Jean ties together with our Caley Leather Mule making a classic thanksgiving day look. If you plan to be stylish yet comfortable this look is fashion forward while giving room to eat well (and go back for seconds!).
Holiday Chic
Here's an outfit that is festive and cute! The Fitted Knit Ribbed Blouse and Tie Front Mini Skirt make the perfect pair for a festive occasion. Then all you need are the Bruno Sol Sana Booties to elevate this outfit to holiday chic!
Traditional Dress
Our Persephone Lace Accent Dress is always stylish and comfortable. We've paired it with our Cobalt Sweater Cardigan for a plush pastel look. We completed the outfit with our Ajax Boot, which can be layered with tights, if necessary.
The Jumpsuit Look
For a sophisticated look that is still completely comfortable, choosing our Stripe Side Tie Jumpsuit is a phenomenal option. It's best to go with a style in a fall color - we love burgundy - and a style that allows movement. This way, you'll be perfectly fashionable and able to move around without the fear of wardrobe malfunctions.
We hope you have found these Thanksgiving outfit ideas helpful! Comment your favorite look in the comments below!
Until next time,

7 Swimsuits to Kick Off Your Summer in Style!
Who else is ready for summer? Here at Maude we are fully prepared for Memorial Day adventures! Whether you are staying at home for the 3-day weekend and soaking up some sunshine (fingers crossed!) or heading straight to the nearest beach, a cute swimsuit should certainly be a part of your weekend plan.
We always get excited when our swimwear collection starts rolling in for the season. We know most of you spend hours looking through swimsuits, so we decided to share some of our favorite swimmies we have in-store! These swimsuits range anywhere from vintage looks to all things palm. We're here to tell you, don't be afraid to mix and match swimwear pieces! Everything doesn't always have to be matchy matchy! Mix colors and prints, and you could even mix different brands. The swimsuit options are so classic and feminine, you'll want to live in these pieces all summer long.
We also added a new brand to our swimwear gang called Maylana! It has won us all over, here at Maude! Take a look and let us know how you feel about our swimwear collection!
Maylana Swimwear (NEW BRAND)
As for cute and trendy two pieces, we cannot get enough of the high-waisted style. The high-waisted bottoms sit right at your natural waistline, giving you the best shape possible, and the top is very cute and comfortable. That's something we can appreciate!
Some say two pieces are better than one! But are they? This may have been the motto in years past, but this year one-piece swimsuits are making a comeback. Both styles are a must in your closet this summer. With swimsuit styles as good these, you won't be able to resist!
Billabong Swimwear
Cute one pieces are all the trend this year! This style is both very flattering and can feature so many stylish details. Gone are the days when one pieces were just for the conservative gals.
This one piece is a cute vacay must-have. The classic black and white colors are ultra-slimming making it the perfect addition to your closet!
Maaji Swimwear
We're so glad summer weather is here! You won't want to miss out on a chance to wear some of the hottest styles around this summer. Shop the latest summer swimsuit styles at Maude today!

Happy Tuesday Ladies!
Nothing is more liberating after a cold, bleak winter than to put away the parkas and prepare for spring fashion by filling your wardrobe with brighter colors, lightweight materials, and trendy outfits sure to make a splash as the warmer months advance.
A good spring outfit is such an important investment for us gals to make every season. Maude has an exciting selection of new, stylish clothing perfect for ladies who brunch, work, party, shop, vacation and whatever else you have going on this season!
Who is ready to wear vibrant spring colors? Pastels, yellow and purple are fore-casted to be huge this time of year. These colors can easily be incorporated into your present transition season wardrobe. Try out our Summer Sunsets Blouse with a pair of skinny jeans and our Survival Overlapping Loafer worn with some of our trendy sunglasses to wrap the whole look together.
Here are a few more looks we put together to get you ladies in the springtime spirit!
This spring fashion season is all about bold, exciting prints. We love finding dresses, rompers and blouses that are comfortable, flattering and feature special patterns.
Patterns with geometric shapes and contrasting colors are an especially exciting and fashionable way to wear this style. Select simple jewelry and accessories to pair with your bold print of choice to keep the outfit cohesive and polished. No matter which pattern you decide to wear, choose fun colors like mint, aqua and coral for that warm weather feel.
Flats and Loafers add some glamour to any spring fashion outfit without breaking your back! Opting for a small to no heel instead of a kitten heel means you’ll feel more confident rocking your outfit and look uber-trendy, too! If you prefer a timeless look and sturdy shoe, try a versatile and comfortable tan loafer shoe. Go for an updated take on a classic slip-on with a pair of loafers for a trendy afternoon out look paired with casual jeans and a blouse or flowy casual cocktail dress. For something less traditional, go for a pair with trendy laser cut details in a lighter color to give your look a lovely spring feel!
With all of the stunning dresses, jumpsuits and rompers you’ll be wearing this season, having the perfect shoes to go with any outfit is very important. We love the rise of chunky, platform heels as a spring/summer fashion trend that are sure to work seamlessly into your wardrobe.
So, now that you know all about the ever popular athleisure trend, it’s time to look ahead. Already, designers are anxious to join an elevated version of athleisure — athluxury. This new trend is clearly a more sophisticated and country club ready form of athleisure — think about clothing that doesn’t resemble workout gear at first glance, but keeps the girl who wears it comfortable and feeling extra trendy during a variety of activities.
There’s something fun and bold about a well-fitting jumpsuit and this spring, they’re totally hopping on the floral trend. This spring fashion trend is a striking look that’s easy to pull off. We love the statement that a stylish neckline paired with billowing, wide leg pants in a lightweight material makes in a perfectly feminine jumpsuit. Select softer colors for a more flirty look or show off your daring style from spring seamlessly into your summer fashion game with a more fun print. Add a floppy hat to top off your summer-chic look.
What's your favorite spring look this year? Thanks for tuning in!
XOXO,
Maude Squad
