Have you heard of Calypso St. Barth before? If you haven’t, be prepared to open your mind to a world of boho-chic clothing; shoes and accessories; exotic fabrics and prints; and this Fall…fur, cozy fabrics, and leather!
I have loved Calypso’s for some time now. Many people might be turned off by a store like Calypso’s because they carry high-end inventory, where you might pay a cool $2,700 for a fur vest. Still, what many people don’t realize is that, like many other stores, Calypso St. Barth also has some major clearance sales!! My first purchases included three items that I have since worn OVER and OVER. Two of them cost $19 each, and the third – a pair of white sequin pants – $59, down $300! I know what you’re thinking…white sequin pants?! Trust me. They are amazing. Take a look for yourselves:
I also got this amazing top, which has paired well with shorts, leggings, you name it! It was perfect for the summer!
Pretty cute, right?! So when I was approached to participate in Calypso St. Barth’s Pink Moment at the new store in Birmingham, I jumped at the opportunity! But, first things first: let’s talk about what I wore. 😉 Of course I had to wear something from their store, and as I was attending an event called “Pink Moment” I had to also wear pink! So, I chose this white dress – the third item I purchased on sale for $19 – and paired it with a pink Zara jacket/blazer:
I also added this Stella and Dot Pegassus necklace, which I scored from a Stella and Dot stylist that was getting rid of all of her inventory. I scored it for 1/3 the price!
Super excited and anxious to see what the new store looked like, I headed to Calypso’s. The store front is as amazing as its inventory. Pink, gold and sparkles…simply dazzling!
Inside, the decor did not disappoint. And the clothes, shoes and accessories…well, just take a look at a few of the fabulous outfits I styled while I was there:
And check out some of their accessories. I wanted them all!!
So guess what?! After trying on all these amazing outfits, Calypso’s gifted me an item from their store!! I am so grateful to Calypso’s, the amazing store manager Brittany, and the other store associates for their help and generosity.
If you are in the Birmingham area, be sure to stop by their new store at the Summit. You won’t want to leave empty handed. They are currently running a $50 off your $300 purchase promo. It’s also available online using code GCFALL2014.
If you decide to wait, be sure to check back in during their clearance sales events. They are not to be missed! Stay tuned for an upcoming post where I share with you what I scored during my Pink Bag Moment. 🙂
Until next time! Stay Chic!
