Fall Fashion Trends For Women

Fall made it's glorious debut this week. It's time to start thinking about switching out your Summer wardrobe and filling your closet back up with chilly-weather fashions. The best gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks has a wonderful selection of the best women's clothing in Eldon, MO. When you come in to take a look at what's new at Good & Perfect Gifts, keep these runway fashion trends in mind.

Jewelry

According to Elle magazine, bling is back! This Fall expect to see a lot of feminine, sparkly jewelry instead of the big, chunky bling that had been popular. Chunky jewelry isn't gone completely though. It is making it's way up, in the form of large, statement earrings.

Boho

Big, floaty sleeves, florals, and fringe will be prominent this Fall, reminiscent of a 70's feel. Fringe is popular, and bold patterns lend to a bohemian feel.

Boots

A little black dress is a must in every woman's closet, and this season she can also add a chic little black boot. We are thrilled to hear this, because a black boot can go with just about everything that you own. The two shapes that showed up the most on the runway were flat, short black boots and the other extreme, over-the-knee boots.

Prints

The biggest print this Autumn is plaid. Plaid will be making it's way onto everything - handbags, capes, scarves, skirts, coats, boots, etc... Mini-skirts are high on the "want" list this season, and patterned tights to go under them. Expect to see lots of exotic prints too, especially on handbags.

Scarves

Scarves are great for tying an outfit together. With the chilly weather looming, they are also perfect for keeping you a bit warmer while still looking fabulous.

Don't forget that every week our Eldon gift shop hosts Fashion Wednesday. All clothing items are Buy-1-Get-1 50% off, and anyone taking advantage of that special deal can get an additional 20% off many of our jewelry items. Two of a woman's favorite phrases: fashionable styles and incredible prices!

You will find many of these current trends in our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks. Remember, these are only suggestions of what some people are enjoying right now. If you like anything that isn't on this list and it looks good on you, then start a trend of your own! We only carry the most beautiful and fashionable items at Good & Perfect Gifts. No matter what you find, you can be sure you will be in style when you wear it.

Scents That Improve Your Mood and Health

Aromatherapy is defined as "the use of fragrances to affect or alter a person's mood or behavior." Research has proven that different scents affect a person in different ways. Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop is filled with lots of products in a variety of wonderful perfumes.

When you inhale, scents stimulate the part of your brain connected to smell. A signal is then sent to another part of your brain that controls emotions and retrieves learned memories. As a result, chemicals are released that cause different moods.

Here are a few terrific scents that produce some very positive reactions.

Green apple - manages cravings

Pumpkin pie - increases blood flow

Cinnamon - improves focus

Coconut - relieves stress

Ginger - helps with nausea

Rose & Jasmine - helps with depression

Lavender - increases deep slow-wave sleep, relieves anxiety

Grapefruit - curbs depression & enhances memory

Citrus - relieves stress, aids with digestion & nausea

Peppermint - gives motivation, energy, & confidence, relieves stress

We featured our Tyler Candle Company products in a previous blog. While candles are a great way to fill a room with a particular aroma, there are plenty of other ways to surround yourself with helpful scents too, like soaps, lotions, and room sprays.

The kitchen is a terrific place to produce some marvelous aromas. Fall and Winter are on their way, and this time of year lots of scents from the list above will be prominent in many recipes: pumpkin, cinnamon, peppermint...Mmmmm! Good & Perfect Gifts carries slow cooker mixes and beer bread mixes that will fill your entire home with smells that will make everyone smile.

Visit our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks and pick up a few sweet-smelling items to try out. We'd love to hear if any of the scents listed above do for you what they have done for others. Our large variety of scented products allow you to find the perfect smell for whatever mood you are trying to attain.

Closeout Opportunities From Our Jefferson City Location

The best gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks originally had a Jefferson City location. Last May, we consolidated the merchandise from that store into our Eldon gift shop. The Jefferson City building has now been sold, and the final step in Good & Perfect Gifts' move is to offer you some incredible special closeout buys!

The move to Eldon has worked out beautifully for our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks. We would especially like to take the time to send out a gigantic THANK YOU to all of our customers. They have all been very supportive of this change.

We have a lot of items that we need to clear out of our old location, and this will give our wonderful customers a chance at some great special prices. You can visit our former Jefferson City location to take advantage of the beautiful items that we need to clear out on the following dates.

748 Stadium Blvd, Jefferson City, MO 65109

Sept. 17 & 18 - 9 am - 3 pm

Sept. 19 - 9 am - noon

If we don't sell out the weekend before...

Sept. 24 & 25 - 9 am - 3 pm

Sept. 26 - 9 am -noon

If you have any questions during our sale hours, you can call our Eldon gift shop at 573-392-7900 and they will find out the answers for you. A few (but not all) of the fabulous items that you we have available are:

Furniture and home accents starting at 50% off.

Great prices on overstock jewelry 30-70% off.

Large selection of willow tree angles 60% off.

Letter jackets at HUGE markdowns (over 50%! We have Blair Oaks, California, Jefferson City, and many more.)

Store displays

Once we have this final detail finished for completely closing our Jefferson City location, we are excited about putting all of our focus towards adding new merchandise and hosting special events at our Eldon store. Our new gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks is already filled with the marvelous items that you have come to expect from Good & Perfect Gifts, but we are going to keep making it even better!

Please do your best to stop by our sale in Jefferson City. You can pick up a great deal (or a few!) Maybe get a head start on your Christmas shopping with some great savings, or just stop by to help us say farewell to the Jefferson City gift store that we enjoyed owning for so many years. We would love to see you both there and at our new Eldon gift shop in the near future.

FASHION

If you are attending a fun event, that's always a great excuse for a new outfit. (It's not hard for us to find an excuse for some gorgeous new clothes though!) After you pick out something incredible to wear, it will need to be accessorized. We've got jewelry, flip-flops, and even great bags for packing up and heading to the lake or the swimming pool. Don't forget to grab a new pair of cool sunglasses too. The weather is going to be sunny and amazing!

FOOD

Labor Day is the third most popular day of the year to BBQ. (The other two are Memorial Day and the 4th of July.) Good & Perfect Gifts has a large selection of gourmet foods to feed a hungry crowd. Our tasty mixes, like the ones from Wind & Willow and molly & Drew, will allow you to serve up delicious cheeseballs, beer breads, dips, and even desserts. We also feature some delightful canned goods from our own Good & Perfect brand. If you don't feel like doing all of the cooking yourself, Sugar B's will have some mouth-watering treats baked up. Beyond the food, you can also pick up many kitchen items to use during your preparations. Aprons for the grill master, kitchen gadgets, enamelware, serving trays, and more.

DECOR

This is a great holiday to put up the American flag and feature some red, white, and blue around your home and in your yard. Our quilted flags and door hangers look fantastic displayed at your house. We've also got plenty of colorful candles, vases, floral items, throw pillows, signs and frames, and so much more. Once you browse our Eldon gift shop, you will start picking out all kinds of items that will look perfect for your holiday.

HOSTESS GIFTS

If you get to skip all of the cooking and be the guest instead of the host, we have a gift store full of fabulous items to thank the host with. You can offer to bring dessert from Sugar B's. Candles are always a welcome, useful gift. Our gourmet items are nice because your host can whip it up right away or save it for another day. If you are joining someone that insists that you do not bring anything but yourself, we've got some sweet thank you cards that you can write a heart-felt note in and send later.

FALL

It's never to early to start thinking about decorating your home for Autumn. Our gifts shop near the Lake of the Ozarks has already started getting out our incredible items for the Fall. They extend throughout the entire store, from scents to tastes to decor, so you are sure to find something irresistable.
