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!

Fantastic Fathers
Spoil daddy dearest rotten this year with interesting and unique versions of the standards. We love shopping for the guys so our men's department is always well-stocked with books, home goods, neckwear, personal accessories and even some cool tools. From the perfect cocktail hour to grilling in style, here are a few of our picks for Father's Day 2017.
We Trovesters appreciate a well-appointed cocktail hour so we line our shelves with tons of appropriate accessories in store. Izola consistently provides elegant goods, like a gorgeous matte gold flask that mom will envy to chic, unbreakable (!!!) glasses for dad's favorite concoction.
Take Pop's grilling game to the next level with light up tools so he can fire up the coals any time. Package these slick beauties with a tasty new hot sauce recipe (+ all the necessary ingredients) for a fun gift you can enjoy together. We're quite partial to this Habanero Peach Hot Sauce recipe, courtesy of The Peach Truck. *Did you happen to catch them as they rolled into Northeast Indiana? If not, hop on their mailing list so you don't miss out next year.

For Your Beloved
We Trovesters dig Valentine's Day. We understand some people don't and that's cool, but here's a bit of why we're sweet on this centuries-old holiday...
The act of showing an extra special amount of love, along with millions more in various regions around the world, is quite simply, downright beautiful. Why shouldn't we take a day to further profess our intense love, or warm affection as the case may be, to our significant others, friends, family, teachers, co-workers and the like? Just thinking of adorable children exchanging handmade cards and sweet, little treats with each other makes our heart swell. Besides, it wouldn't hurt us to spread around a little more love. #justsaying
With all this in mind, we've curated a selection of gorgeous little gifts, for every budget and every taste, to help you show your love and gratitude to your nearest and dearest. And, as always, there's way more in store.
$50 and Under
The Giving Keys Love Necklace ($36) | William Buerkle Initial Necklace + Charm ($34 necklace, $10 charm) | Dogeared Pearls of Happiness Necklace ($42)
$50 - $100

$PLURGE

Sayonara 2016!
We Trovesters are a passionate bunch. We never have a lack of plans, dreams, goals and wishes, and we keep pretty busy chasing after them throughout the year. Here are just a few of the things kicking around in our heads as we rocket towards the new year...
“My greatest wish is for 2017 to be politics-free. I know that’s not realistic but wishes don’t have to be, right?”
“So many resolutions, so little time!
1. To give a compliment to someone new each day.
2. To strive for better eyebrows!
3. To stress less about my kids’ rooms.
4. To volunteer more.
5. To try something new in Fort Wayne each month.
6. To spend more quality time with the people I love.”
“My resolution for 2017 is to be more passionate and involved in issues that matter to me, not just random volunteering. ”
“My goals are to remain optimistic, to read more, to spend as much time taking care of myself as much as I take care of other people and to stay open to possibilities.”
Let Me Tell You 'Bout My Best Friend
We Trovesters are dog lovers (really, animal lovers) through and through! We love our pups and tend to spoil them rotten. So, we're happy to stock stylish accessories, funny necessities (anyone see our politically themed poop bags this year?) and other goodies for the dog-lovers themselves.
