The moment when you realize that your favorite IG boutique is actually in Santee Alley!

We've long been fans of @district_boutique's expertly curated outfits on Instagram and finally got the chance to stop by their brick-and-mortar location in the alley. District Boutique is located at 1137-B Maple Ave, inside Santee Alley between 11th and 12th Streets.

While at the store, we met with Tiffany who also manages the Instagram account. She's such a sweetheart and super stylish. In fact, the entire team at District Boutique is sweet and knowledgeable. It's the kind of store you want to go when you're putting your Friday night outfit together and need some styling tips ;)

You can see more of their current styles at instagram.com/district_boutique.

Trend Alert: Pantone color of the year - Marsala - and floppy hats!

Back to School Trends

These styles are available at Vickie's Fashion.

Global Chic: Prints ans symbols from cultures all over the world seem to be popular for fall. We've seen them pop up all over the Fashion District from the showrooms to the alleys. The trend has been prevalent in clothing as well as accessories and is really a continuation of the graphics and patterns trend that has been popular all summer.

Floral: A standout print, florals can be girly and fun yet very versatile, lending themselves to different styles. We especially like floral prints on dresses for this year's "Back to School" season. As we mentioned above, prints have been very popular (we've seen them on tops and bottoms alike) and they will continue into the fall trends.

Jeans/Denim: The "Back to School" staple is very strong this season, with denim tops making a comeback. Detailed denim continues to reign supreme in the alley stores: distressed, washed out and jeweled. Colored jeans also remain a strong favorite among shoppers.

Sheer tops: We've seen sheer fabrics all year, especially in breezy tops and dresses. These easy to wear styles aren't going anywhere soon. They are stylish, yet comfortable and are incredibly easy to dress up or down. You will also find tank tops in all colors for easy (and school appropriate!) layering.
