The 4th of July is summer's most festive day, and we like to dress to match the occasion. We like subtle nods to the holiday, rather than donning full stars and stripes (we've seen some pretty questionable flag dresses floating around). Our formula? A chic chambray dress + white leather accessories. Add a fiery red lip and you're good to go!
In the Bag
A great handbag can make all the difference when it comes to putting together a look. From clutches to totes to the next must-have cross body, we have so many current faves.
Our current selection of leather bags includes sleek styles, metallic flashes and small touches of colorful textures.
Our casual totes are perfect for Summer days, full of pool runs, trips to the market and lunches with your bestie.
Come find your next must-have bag in #thenoke!
Style Quick Take: White Hot
There's nothing like crisp Summer whites when it's hot and steamy outside. We can't get enough of this neutral and love to play around with new ways to incorporate the color (or lack thereof) into our wardrobes.
We believe mastering an all white ensemble relies on two things: texture and accessories. The airy and feminine details of this blouse make the look interesting, especially when paired with the straight lines of classic denim. The clutch, with that darling touch of pink as well as the gold accents, provides an extra oomph.

Have a Swell Summer
We Trovesters are dedicated S'well enthusiasts. We're in love with the function of these bottles (they keep liquids hot for 12 hours or cold for 24!) but we'd be lying if we said we weren't head over heels with the look of these beauties. Sleek and stylish, and perfectly sized, we consider our S'well bottles a worthy fashion accessory.
As if we couldn't love them enough already, we came across this article online about the 30 Unhealthiest Drinks on the Planet. While we're encouraged to stay hydrated throughout each day, those ubiquitous plastic bottles are not only terrible for our planet but also for our bodies, as it turns out.
“The water isn’t the problem here; it’s the BPA in the bottle. BPA is a hormone-mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics, and it’s potentially bad news. According to some pools of research, the chemical may promote cancer and render people infertile. To stay hydrated on the go, buy a BPA-free refillable bottle. We’re big fans of S’well bottles, which come in a wide array of fashionable patterns and color pallets.”
Perfectly suited for all your adventures...
S'well bottles are the ideal accessory for beach, lake and pool, as well as all your expeditions and travels. Seriously, our S'well bottle is the item we don't leave home without.
Home, office and on the go...
We pour our morning coffee into a S'well, instead of a mug these days. Our mid-morning, lunchtime and afternoon coffees, too.
Packing up for a picnic? The 25 oz holds a full bottle of wine. #justsaying
Even in a hot (or cold) car, your liquids will stay at the perfect temperature all day.
Swing by to shop our full selection of S'well or nab a limited-edition bottle on our online shop.

“The new Articles of Society jeans are so comfortable and are great quality for a reasonable price.”
“Anything and everything Pol has been my go-to recently! I love the soft fabric and light colors!”

The Graduate
Graduation from high school and college is a magical time. Full of hope and promise, and a little bit of trepidation (most likely) this transitional time is made better by supportive friends and family.
While doling out wisdom, advice and tales of your own experiences, hand over a cool token to commemorate the happy occasion. Peep these popular, functional and stylish options below, handpicked to reflect the schools your grad may be leaving or headed towards, for extra thoughtfulness points.
As always, there's a ton more in store and we're happy to help you find the most unique gift for your special grads.
Tania Rodamilans
It's clear we Trovesters are obsessed with great jewelry. From classic styles to statement pieces, and at all price points, we love to stock the coolest and most unique pieces in the land. Our most recent jewelry crush is Tania Rodamilans. Originally from Barcelona, Spain, we ran across Rodamilans in her current city of Chicago, one of our favorite haunts.
Rodamilans' current collection features necklaces with interesting details, pieces that have the power to transform a simple t shirt into a look. With our penchant for neutral, clean cut staples, these pieces add just the dash of pizzazz we want each day.
Come to The Trove to check out what we have in store and then mark June 6th - 8th in your calendar for Rodamilans' trunk show.
Introducing the Trove Ambassadors
We've partnered with five dynamic, young and local ladies who adore style as much as we do. You might have seen them popping up in our social media feeds or even in store. Led by our marketing intern, Jessica Carroll, our Ambassador program is meant to provide inspiration and opportunity for them as well as for us Trovesters. We'll be regularly sharing their favorite things from our shelves as well as their perspective on style. This is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
Anna Ekdahl
"I'm a junior at Homestead High School, a volunteer in the children's department at my church and love going out for dinner with loved ones. When I was younger, I lived in England for two years and traveled around Europe and Africa with my family! I'm loving all the beautiful pearl pieces in The Trove's jewelry department right now."
Grace Lehmann
"I'm a freshman at IPFW in Fort Wayne, transferring to study architecture at Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning next Fall. Personal is about creating art within yourself. My style is just like my personality, all over the place! I'm especially into the collection of tops and blouses at The Trove right now. So many great, casual yet stylish looks."
Heather Nellum
"I'm graduating from Bishop Dwenger High School and will be attending IPFW in the Fall. I love being creative and having fun with my friends and family, as well as making others laugh and smile. My current fave from The Trove is Little Barn Apothecary's coffee and mint body scrub. It leaves your body feeling incredibly soft and moisturized and the scent is the perfect pick-me-up."
Jessica Carroll
"I'm a Senior at Homestead High School, attending Ball State University in the Fall, to study Journalism and Marketing. I spend most of my time with a book in one hand and coffee in the other, but enjoy doing anything outside, spending time with friends hiking and exploring. My favorite product from The Trove is anything and everything POL - there isn't a piece I don't love."
Raegan McComb
"I'm a freshman at Ball State University, studying Telecommunications with a focus on video production. I have a passion for photography, hiking and generally spending time outdoors and I just can't get enough time with dogs. My favorite piece from The Trove is the amazingly soft Barefoot Dreams zip hoodie because it feels like I’m hugging a cloud when I wear it!"
The future looks bright!

Bloom & Give
There's nothing like a great scarf. This multi-tasking must-have accessory can act as a warm hug on a cold day or a light wrap on warm nights at the beach. We've even used ours as picnic blankets, baby wraps (in a pinch) and sarongs. We Trovesters are crafty like that.
When we learned about Bloom & Give, we knew we'd found our next favorite thing. These super soft scarves are crafted of hand-spun cashmere from Kashmir, hand-woven cotton from Bengal and hand-stitched silk from Orissa. But these scarves are more than just stylish. Bloom & Give donates half their profits to programs that help girls in rural India go to school. Adore...
