SPRING LOOK: Midi Length Dresses!


Recently I have loved and embraced the midi length trend; SARCA has of course shared my excitement, as well.  I favor the freedom that this length allows for personal style. Sneaker or pump, dress up or down this length allows for endless options!

Below are three of my favorite Midi Dresses we have available now!

Look #1: A Casual Summer Day
This is a perfect option for a hot Summer day around the city! Whether you choose to meet some friends for lunch, or grab dinner with a date, this Nieves Lavi dress is great for both.
Nieves lavi Dress: $299.00

Look #2: A Day in the Office taken to a Night Out
This midi length dress is sophisticated enough for a day at work, but chic enough for a night on the town!
Karolyn Pho Dress: $360.00

Look #3: A Stunning Summer Print
This flower print is a great addition to your Summer wardrobe. The midi length allows for this print dress to stand out above the rest!
Sam & Lavi Dress: $140.00

Finn's Fix: Rain, Rain Go Away!

For as long as I can remember, Memorial Day weekend has been a cool and rainy one.  Instead of warm temperatures and sunny skies to kick off the summer, the last week in May usually leaves us wearing long sleeves and something waterproof.  Although this weather is less than cooperative , SARCA can still outfit you in both form AND function! Uke's darling transparent jacket is a must for Chicago's rainy season---and just because it's gloomy outside does not mean you have shy away from brightening things up with splashes of color!
Uke Transparent Rain Coat $340, Tuleste Market Teal Enamel Petal Necklace $230,
White Suede Rose New Tail Top $185, White Suede Techno Land Triangular Flip Skirt $290

Finn's Fix: Weekend Attire

 If you ask any Chicago resident why they put up with the unpredictable---and most of the time, extreme---weather conditions (hint: we're looking at you, Winter), most responses will include their love of Windy City summers.  You just can't beat 'em: Oak street beach, street fairs, outdoor beer gardens, Lollapalooza, baseball games, grilling on rooftops, views of the skyline at sunset...I could go on!  With the city busting with life come the warm seasons, your attire has to follow suit.  One of my favorite things to do on summer weekends in the city is to visit the Green City Market in Lincoln Park. Filled with local produce, fresh bread, unusual cheeses, and more, it's a foodie's heaven!  While wandering up and down the rows of colorful stands (fabulous people watching by the way), it's a must that you wear something light, airy and comfortable.  I've styled a look that is ideal for taking in the sights, smells, and yes, tastes of the Green City Market---a perfect Saturday morning outing.

Finn's Fix "Vacation Destination": Palm Springs

People like to vacation in different ways: be it adventurous trips filled with physically challenging activities (think hiking, biking and the like), sight seeing historically rooted cities, or perhaps soaking up the sun on a white sand beach.  We at SARCA are open to all kinds of traveling, but one thing is for sure: you've got to look good while on the go!
One vacation location that tops my list of favorites is Palm Springs.  Hot desert temperatures, clear blue California sky, the mountains, and turquoise pools---what could be better?  Did I forget to mention delicious iced cocktails and fantastic shopping?  With that in mind, I styled a look that will bring out your inner California girl!

Heather's How To: The Perfect Terrace Outfit

What shall a fashionista wear? Below is my favorite, must-have look for any terrace event.
