Lamar Park Blog

South Texas' Most Unique Lifestyle Center

Fashion legend has it that you have to wait until Easter to wear white. I say baloney, but if you do live by this credo lucky for you Easter is right around the corner! And what could be better than the Cadbury Cream Eggs and jellybeans? A new Easter outfit! Where better to treat yourself to a new spring ensemble than Lamar Park? Because after all, everyone deserves a little treat from the Easter bunny!


Francesca’s has the perfect Easter options for any chic girl – from the perfect dresses for church to brunch with friends to little (inedible) treats for your Easter basket, the girls over there have you covered without a doubt. I adore the floral skirt / bright tank combo – what a ringing in of spring! And that gorgeous violet scarf that you know will go with just about anything? Don’t mind if I do. For the dressier set, both the floral dress and white shift are the perfect end-of-Lent ensembles that will be closet staples through the sweet summertime. And who could forget accessories? Anyone would be lucky to receive one of these Easter delights!


Growing up I always had my Easter dress and it was such a special day for everyone in the family whether we were going to church or just hunting eggs in the yard, I loved, loved, loved wearing my new dress and pretty spring shoes – the final sign that winter had once and for all come to an end. Lucky for me Market has the perfect grownup version of the Easter dresses I adored. I love the LuLu Lame turquoise eyelet dress ($149) with a sweet cardigan for morning services followed by playtime with family and friends. A Velvet dress ($115 – $139) can be dressed up or down and is the perfect go-to for any closet; with all of the different colors and styles who could choose just one? The blue Blue Plate dress ($95) is such a steal and could not be cuter with Tory Burch t-strap sandals from Julian Gold…

Speaking of accessories, Julian Gold and Goosefeathers could not have a better spring selection; from bags to shoes to the perfect necklace these stores will have you looking your best on Easter Sunday (and every Sunday for that matter). I adore the pink Kate Spade tote from Julian Gold – perfect for the beachy weather! A Missoni maxi will take you through the seasons (with matching hat!) – a perfect go to for any special occasion. If a dress isn’t really your thing, check out the adorable Milly outfit at Julian Gold. What could be more Easter-y?! Paired with a gorgeous turquoise necklace from Goosefeathers? So adorable. I am also totally obsessed with the multi-strand pearl number from the Goose, sassy but so refined. Clearly these stores have hit the mark on Easter wardrobe selections, you can’t go wrong.

Regardless of what you’re wearing and what you’re doing this Easter, I hope you all enjoy the time with your loved ones. (And eat lots of Easter candy!)

It’s always such a dilemma wanting to buy gorgeous Spring and Summer clothes but not being able to wear them just…quite…yet. Thankfully there is a solution so simple you will be wearing your new Spring duds in no time. Winterizing Spring wear is easy and fun, and really, during the strange transition months of February and March bright colors are such a fantastic alternative to drab winter colors and textures. So peel off your coat and slip in to some of these fabulous finds over at Lamar Park.

I am utterly obsessed with the dresses and jewelry at Market. The Collective Concepts green dress above ($89) could not get in my closet fast enough. With tights and boots now and cute gladiator sandals later this Spring? Yes. Please. I’m also obsessed with the V Fish Scoop Back Dress ($99). The back screams Spring, but the front is all about year round versatility. Pair either with the Gypsy Collection red jade chandelier earrings ($75) and you are good to go. Speaking of jewelry, The Be-je Turquoise jewelry is incredible. With prices ranging from $60-$100 there’s something for everyone and I LOVE the hammered gold with turquoise accents. Beeyootiful! Last but not least, the Velvet purple stripe dress is going to be a summer staple for sure, I am just in lurve with it. For now, I’ll be pairing it with tights and a cardi (yellow or perhaps orange for sassy days, grey for the subdued ones), but once the mercury rises it will be all about some gold jewelry and a linen scarf.

Over at Goosefeathers things are in full swing for Spring, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go ahead and get to shopping! I love this brown off the shoulder ruffle blouse with easy boyfriend jeans. For chilly coastal nights grab a long wrap to throw over your shoulders. You could even rock some cowboy boots now and switch to T-strap sandals later. So easy. I love me some bright colors, and this pink paisley oxford is too cute. You can wear it just like this now with jeans or jeggings (my own personal obsession) and once you’re ready to pull those shorts out you will be looking so sassy!

Julian Gold has some fabulous Winter – Spring ideas that are so sweet and stylish, like this boyfriend blazor by Teenflo over a striped Kate Spade tank with some boyfriend AG jeans. Kate Spade’s new clothing line is to die for, I am so thrilled Julian Gold is carrying a few pieces! The bright colors and florals always put a huge smile on my face. This floral BCBG dress is perfect with leggings now and then with some super high wedges this summer: oh-so-sexy. Finally, Michael Stars always gets it right with his easy and fun basics that are perfect for layering. Try the t-shirt vest over a white tee with some Citizens jeans. Comfortable and cute, all these outfits will take you straight through Spring and on to Summer with ease, versatility and LOTS of style!
