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!
Prepping for Fall
It's always fun to get organized for Autumn. We love sweater weather and the return of our favorite denim pieces, paired with all the fun Fall festivities that fill our calendars like the famous Johnny Appleseed Festival and our legendary Barn Sale (stay tuned for info on that can't-miss event). Here's how we're starting the transition from Summer to Fall...
Take the trickiness out of transitional dressing and refresh your closet with easy layers, paired with upgraded denim staples.
Treat yourself to a new "Back to School" supply, such as a new take everywhere S'well bottle, the most chic tech accessories on the planet or a stylish new agenda.
Come shop our latest and greatest and get ready for the season ahead!
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.

Style Edit: Brand Ambassadors Spring Picks
We are having so much fun with our Brand Ambassadors and just adore how they put their looks together. Check out the latest from our fab five then shop our new Spring arrivals, online and in store.
“I am in love with this black dress. The fun tassels at the bottom are so fun and flirty!”
“I adore the Michael Stars vest because it is so versatile and goes with virtually everything in my closet and the fringe-y bag is the perfect vibe for Spring. I’m super excited about the Articles of Society denim because they fit perfectly. ”
“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 denim dress is super comfortable and fun. Perfect for spring! I was able to wear it both with sandals and with heeled booties! Plus, the sleeve length is great to show off all of my Trove bracelets!”
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!

Refresh and Revamp for 2017
Late last year, we started making plans for a revamp of The Trove; a makeover, if you will. After a handful of years in business, we felt it was time to shake things up, move things around, clear some space and make room for new obsessions. We're doing this in the digital realm as well, but that's a story for another time.
We Trovesters have been busy bees this month, executing our carefully laid plans and coming up with new ideas on the fly. We've expanded our clothing category, given our fab selection of shoes a new, more shop-able display (look for a new outstanding summer line to be added here too!) and curated our massive jewelry selection into a dazzling array. Our ever-growing men's department, as well as our sweet and soft children's department, and our home and gift categories, received updates as well. Whew! 2017 is off to a very productive start.
Come shop the latest and greatest in clothing, accessories, home decor and gifts. And if you need extra incentive, we have two racks loaded with fantastic clothing at 50% off and a selection of shoes at 30% off!
You simply must come see us in #thenoke.
NYE Prep
We know, it's not even Christmas Eve and we're already planning for New Year's Eve. But we take the year's biggest party kind of seriously, okay?
We're prepping skin for a healthy sheen with decadent body oil by Little Barn Apothecary, getting our essentials in order and topping it all off with a luxurious dose of crushed velvet.
NYE is the perfect time to shimmer and shine, no matter if you're hitting the town or toasting at home!
Shop with us before you finalize your New Year's Eve ensemble.
Yonder
There's almost nothing more classically American than jeans and a T shirt. While some are too boxy, too stiff and corporately bland, it only takes looking at images of James Dean and Jackie O to see how stylish, and enduring, a simple T shirt can be. Modern options are softer than you can imagine, in cuts that flatter multiple body types and with designs that inspire, making the once humble T shirt a staple of the modern wardrobe, which can be styled in myriad ways.
Yonder T shirts are all of the above and we're thrilled to carry the brand in store. Blasting Hoosier pride with style and comfort makes us Trovesters incredibly happy! We pair ours with our favorite denim and booties, with oversized boyfriend cardis, leggings and ballet flats and even under a crisp blazer with heels. And, quite frankly, we're hard pressed to change out of our well-loved and oft-worn T's, so you'll find us cuddled up on our couches in them, too.
