lightweight | iconic | versatile

We have launched our latest additions to the Stix and Roses collection here at SARAROSE ON OAK! The Harper is a personal favorite. I have been looking for that perfect wrap dress for so long, but there always seems to be something unfavorable with the styles I find. I love the ease and elegance of a wrap dress, but most of the time I find myself looking so matronly in them. I wanted that sexy 1970's wrap with just the right dip in front with a casual dolman sleeve and a material that would make me feel as though this dress was just a second skin. We made quite a few changes along the way while designing The Harper. We...

Dressing Up Fall

Kaftan: Stix and Roses | Hat: Vintage | Bracelets: Mantra Band Dressing Up Fall A few weeks ago, I talked about my love for mixing styles from the summer and reinterpreting them for fall. After experiencing crisper temperatures up north during a spiritual retreat, I am as excited as ever for cozy textiles wrapped around my body. After all, there is nothing so special as a beautiful piece of fabric draped over your shoulder as you sit outside with a good book and a cup of coffee. Embodying this spirit is our new limited line of Stix and Roses kaftans, finally here after weeks of anticipation. Each piece is unique, and I think they are perfect for...

Nearly Nude Now

Dress: Stix and Roses | Bracelets: Mantra Band | Necklace: Meeka Meditation Nearly Nude Now As women, I think we all like to feel sensual and confident in the clothes we wear.

What about interpreting the nude trend more literally, and aiming for nude...

Full Swing Festival

Dress: Stix and Roses | Flower Crowns: Bannditz | Bracelet: Mantra Band | Sunglasses: Nordstrom | Mandala Tapestry: Etsy Full Swing Festival The combination of seeing Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift a week ago and Lollapalooza coming up soon got me thinking—festival fashion is so fun! Loose fabrics, funky patterns, and a free spirit look positively carefree when worn to a summer festival. This got me thinking about one of our vintage Stix and Roses silhouettes. A few years ago, I created a tunic-style short dress perfect for a day laid out on a blanket, drinking Rosé and listening to my favorite music. Recently, my thought process has turned to extending summer by keeping the silhouettes...

Now and Zen

Top: Stix and Roses | Sweatshirt: Stix and Roses | Leggings: Stix and Roses | Bracelet: Mantra Band Now and Zen I find it so interesting that we look forward to summer all year long for rest and relaxation, yet so few of us are able to find any at all! Between the obligations we all have and the increased activities of summer, I find summer to be the least grounding of the four seasons. For me, yoga changes that. Spending time reconnecting with myself on the mat is one of the best ways for me to stay centered while improving flexibility, tone, and overall fitness. F I T. Stix and Roses The F I T....
