Happy spring, Magpie friends and family!  As spring warms the air, we can finally put away the cozy sweaters and boots once and for all.  Don’t worry, you won’t miss your favorite sweaters once you see our spring collection!  The colors are fun and the styles are wearable, fashionable, and feminine without all the fuss.  See for yourself!  

******************************************************

If you are trying to figure out what to bring on your travels, we have two great outfits for you.  On the left we have a rayon and lycra blend fuchsia top with a gathered center that is flattering  and is known to accentuate the good parts.  The top can be dressed up or dressed down and she travels well.  The jewelry adorned by both girls are Jan Michaels pieces and they are exceptionally timeless.  The high-low maxi is from Line & Dot and she is made for comfort.  She’s great for a nice dinner or a casual day of sightseeing.  Need a bag that carries all your travel necessities but doesn’t scream “tourist”?  Say no more, we have the perfect bags for you.  Come to Magpie and let us help you get ready for your trip! 

Check out our Plenty by Tracy Reese dresses that just arrived!  The funky prints and splashes of color are sure to brighten you day.  They are easy to wear and so versatile – you will find yourself in these beauties all season!  They love a summer picnic, wine with the girls, and definitely a beach vacation!

Looking for a great everyday dress?  Here are some that is sure to please.  Feel relaxed yet put together in any of these figure flattering dresses.  Everyone needs a chambray dress in their wardrobe.  It’s a great staple!  Looking for a fun print that isn’t overwhelming?  Check out the dress on the right.  We love the tan Aztec print on the green…you couldn’t even tell it was an Aztec print, could you?

Don’t need a dress but desperately need a new top to go with your favorite jeans?  Come and see us, we’ve got tops galore!  Check out some of our favorite pieces this season.  From neutrals to brights, patterns to solids, we can help with your search!  We also have Red Engine denim capris.  Great thing about the capris is that you can tuck them into boots in the fall.  No one will ever know! 

If you are going to buy one top this spring, this is the one.  Light airy cotton, open back yet bra friendly, cute detail, buttons…seriously, what more could you ask for?  O’ yeah, she’s not shy about getting compliments so be prepared.  In case you were wondering, that is a baby Baggu tote in citrus.  She is a great companion when you don’t feel like lugging your big bag. 

Just a little more eye candy from Magpie…why not treat yourself to a spring treat?

We would like to introduce you to a new designer at Magpie, Annabel Ingall.  She is a new bag designer at Magpie and we have fallen in love with her design and quality.  The design is chic and classic.  The bags are made from Italian leather and are made in Italy.  Feminine and functional, need we say more? 

Need a bag that is a little more casual to take to the beach, farmer’s market, day at the park?  Check out our canvas totes from Baggu!  Great colors, styles, quality and price.  They start at $25 and they are worth it!

Do you have a nylon Baggu that carries your groceries?  Are you wishing you had the same bag in leather?  Well look no more, we have leather Baggu’s in all sizes.  The large and small ones are at Magpie waiting for you! 

Saving the best for last, our spring jewelry collection!  David Aubrey never disappoints us with colors and styles.  Always fresh and always current.  Best of all, always affordable!  Prices start at $36.  Jewelry is the easiest way to spruce up your spring wardrobe so don’t wait too long!

Add a little pop of color and texture to your jewelry collection with designs by Erik and Mike.  It’s perfect for all occasions and make for great gifts.  They never last long at Magpie so hurry and get yours today!

Happy November!  It’s that time of the year when leaves change into their fall colors, chilly days are here to stay and families and friends feast together.  There are lots of things to be thankful for and we are especially thankful for your support and the relationships we have built over the past 2 years.  We look forward to a great holiday season with you!

So elegant and sophisticated!  Perfect for weddings, parties, and of course, date night!

And for our Grand Finale we present our much-anticipated collection from James Coviello.  James Coviello is a designer from NYC and his clothing and accessories are made in his lower east side workshop.  The feathered accessories add a bit of drama to the dresses…if you’re not feeling dramatic, you can detach the feathered accessories and really see the clean lines on these pieces.  The craftsmanship and the fabric are superb and definitely create a classic statement for years to come!  

We are very fortunate to be the first and only boutique to carry James Coviello in North Carolina.

       It’s the season for cozy sweaters!             We love cozy sweaters with interest!

Forgot your gloves?  No worries!  This butterscotch sweater has built in fingerless gloves.  A great everyday cardigan and so snuggly with the infinity scarf.

Nothing can be cozier than an oversized cashmere sweater!  This light weight charcoal sweater will keep you toasty warm without the bulk.  Add a little pop of color with a bright scarf or a vibrant Mill & Bird tote bag!

This is a great sweater to wear with jeans and leggings!  Wear it casual with jeans or dress it up with black leggings and booties!

This is our favorite travel ensemble!  You can take her anywhere and look stylish while staying comfortable.

Need a “go to” accessory?  This is our favorite!  The colors and patterns are so fun!

Tights are back and with such fun colors and patterns! Besides the fact that they keep your legs warm throughout the chilly months of winter, they also are an inexpensive way to spice up any skirt or dress!

                Our pashminas from Italy are back!  They are so soft and so warm.

            We’re now carrying Hobo bags and wallets!  Bags made by women for women.  You will love all the compartments to keep you organized!  Not to mention, the wonderful assortment of colors to choose from!

If you’re only going to purchase one statement piece of jewelry this season, make it a Jan Michaels piece!

We’re totally swooning over these pieces!  The colors and shapes are quite exquisite.  You don’t want to miss out on the jewelry from Zia and David Aubrey!

Happy October!  We hope everyone has had an opportunity to enjoy this wonderful weather.  The dry warm days and cool evenings have inspired us to create a lookbook of our fall clothing and jewelry collection.  Enjoy!

It’s the season for a cozy poncho (with pockets)!  This navy poncho is great for travel or just sitting around outside with friends drinking wine.  Recognize the bag?  Yep, it’s a Mill & Bird special.  

New separates are arriving everyday!  Come by and see our selection of blouses, skirts, sweaters, and pants.  We would love to help you with your wardrobe paralysis…it’s our specialty!

This is our favorite sweater of the week.  It’s a silk and alpaca blend sweater with a graceful drape.  It’s flattering on all body shapes.  The coral necklace is from the Jan Michaels fall collection and there are many great pieces in this collection! 

Need a dress for a wedding or a special date?  Take a look at these lovely dresses.  The colors and patterns are fun and vibrant!  The styles are flattering and can be worn with or without a belt.  Best of all, these dresses are under $100! 

This is the perfect dress for the office!  It looks great with boots and tights.  Plus, it’s a steal at $88! 

We love the versatility of these gorgeous dresses.  They can worn as tunics (with the help of a pair of leggings) or over a pencil skirt.  We can help you select the perfect statement piece of jewelry to complete the look. 

Bellisima Italian acetate cuffs and earrings are back!  We got some new styles with added texture and interesting designs.  The prices are just right…starting at $23.

Like a treasure from grandma’s jewelry box, Jan Michaels fall collection has something for everyone.  Add a statement necklace, chunky cuff, or a locket ring (adjustable too!) to your own jewelry box this fall! 

Need a new piece of everyday jewelry that is delicate and sparkly?  Robindira Unsworth has those pieces just for you.  Her pieces are made from sterling silver and gold vermeil with crystals and pearls.  They are lovely on their own and easy to layer with other pieces.

Happy June!  It’s that time of the year when we say “Bye Bye” to spring and “Hello” to summer.  Want to know what Magpie is saying “hello” to this summer?  Versatile and affordable dresses, colorful tops, and cute shorts!

This darling cotton dress from Covet with an open back (perfect for those hot days!) is quite a charmer. You can wear it to the farmer’s market or to a brunch date. 

Going to the farmer’s market?  Toss on a floppy hat, a pair of flip flops, and you’re ready to make the best selections.  Going on a brunch date?   Just throw on a few bangles, add a scarf, slip on a pair of wedges, and waltz out the door to meet your special someone.  

You know we couldn’t start the summer without Eva Franco!  We fell in love with Eva Franco’s poppy print top and had to bring it to Durham.  The fit of this top is extremely flattering with the ruching and pleats.  It accentuates all the good parts and looks so cute with a pair of denim shorts.  These are great travel pieces.  You can add a pencil skirt to the top and step it up a notch or wear a tank top with the denim shorts and go for the casual cool look. 

As we all know, June is a big month for summer engagements, especially weddings and we would love to help you find the perfect dress.  Our selection is extensive and unique.  It ranges from cotton eyelet sundresses to silky sleek cocktail dresses.  So, whether the wedding is on a farm or in a bustling city, we will find the ideal dress for you and your personal style. 

Best of all, we can help you find ways to wear it again so that it doesn’t get banished to the closet after the event!

Check out one of our best sellers!  This kimono style dress from Line and Dot has been a huge hit!  The dress has a great print and a faux wrap to finish off the feminine look.   We accessorized this dress with a lavender Ada belt to bring in another texture and color.  This dress is a steal at $95. 

Come by soon before they are all gone!      

Summer is such a great time to hit the road and see loved ones.  Get to your destination with ease and style using these great travel bags.  These leather and canvas bags are functional and well crafted.  They have tons of pockets to keep your cell phone and wallet handy.  The added bonus is a cross-body strap for comfort. 

They make for a great carry-on bag or a weekend bag!

This month we are featuring one of our most coveted jewelry lines, Alkemie.  All of Alkemie’s pieces are made from 100% reclaimed metals and are handmade in California.  The burnished gold tone pieces are made from a combination of gold, silver, copper, and zinc creating a vintage feel.  The silver pieces are silver patina giving them an old world flair.  If you are looking for a piece of jewelry that makes a statement, then Alkemie is for you!

We wanted to let you all know that we are on facebook and we would love for you to become a fan!  We post new items weekly and you will be first to know about promotions and sales.  To make it easy for you, our facebook link is provided below so that you can become a fan right away.
