The sun is shining and it’s time to jump into summertime fashion with the ladies at Vivian O’Nay!
one be sure to grab it because they are staying sold out in shops all over the River Region.
A few of the ladies at Vivian O’Nay will be bringing the readers of Boom a column each season and on special occasions with updates on current trends. Each month we will feature a different employee over 50 to highlight her own personal style combined with the trends which are “in” at the moment. This month Gloria Locklin has curated a collection to help us do just that! At Vivian O’Nay we pride ourselves on providing fashions for ladies of all ages and sizes. Gloria, or “GiGi” as we call her at the store, is proud to be curvy and loves helping people find the perfect item to help them feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.
We couldn’t do an article encompassing GiGi’s personal style without mentioning one of her main staples. She loves Ronaldo bracelets and her arms are always stacked high showcasing her collection. Ronaldo offers high quality artist wire bracelets, earrings, and necklaces often with mixed metals and each has its own unique meaning behind it. They have a selection for any person and every occasion whether it be birthday, anniversary, graduation, sympathy, or just because! They make great keepsakes which speak to the heart and offer a personalized touch.
As someone who has worked in retail for many years, she has perfected pairing her own signature look with the latest fashions. Some of her favorite fits which never go out of style are flattering tops with a yoke in the back, V-neck cuts, and a nice amount of upper arm coverage. She loves having versatile pieces which might be chosen for one event but can be styled to be worn multiple ways. She also believes dresses are always better when they have pockets and that a good comfy peep-toe wedge goes with almost everything. For the Summer we have noticed one specific trend which has taken off tremendously- tie-dye! Everything always seems to come back around eventually and this time we are seeing it everywhere. It’s amazing to us how designers can come up with so many variations using one concept. Our personal favorite take on the craze usually also is incorporated in with a wrinkle free material which is ideal for travel. When wearing a pattern like tie-dye we feel it is always best to keep the other aspects of your outfit simple to let the main concept really shine. She is also wearing a pair of our Lemon Jelly shoes with her outfit. These shoes

One other line we wanted to mention is new to our store but captured our attention at market- Mariana. The designer believes each piece has the power to uplift those who wear it. The pieces are Lemon Jelly shoes made up of only the highest and Bogg Bags quality materials and are made to last a lifetime. The beauty of Mariana speaks for itself which is why we made sure to include a picture! The gorgeous stones pop and make a beautiful statement on any woman.
are so lightweight they feel as if you are wearing nothing! They have a low platform style heel and slide on easily which makes them a perfect summer staple. When it comes to shoes, comfort is key! Major brands are coming out with more styles focused on offering a substantial amount of cushion while still being fashion Ronaldo bracelets, and forward. Mariana necklaces
Another trend which has become huge in the South seemed to have popped up overnight! Bogg bags (pictured) are selling out at our store the same day we get them in. The bag was created to be large enough to carry everything for a day at the beach or pool; sturdy and durable enough to not tip over and spill everything; and easily cleanable with a quick rinse off. One thing is certain- you will be seeing these everywhere this Summer! If you can get your hands on
In retail things are always changing as far as how people shop and the styles that come and go. We feel one of the most important parts about fashion is feeling you can trust whoever is helping you to be honest and provide feedback for what looks and fits you best. It’s fun to try out fast fashion items like tie-dye, bogg bags, and lemon jelly shoes but also great to know it’s worth the investment to purchase high quality versatile items and jewelry like Mariana and Ronaldo.
