Spring is Arriving... at least at Vogel's and Foster's

It doesn't look too promising when I look out the window.  It's cold and the ground is covered in white, crusty snow.  I totally have a case of the winter blues.

I am ready for spring, for light airy colors.  I admit, I am even ready for flip flops.  (I got a new pair of our North Face flip flops just last week.  Still waiting to wear them!)

The good news is, while winter is still going on OUTSIDE, we have new spring merchandise arriving daily INSIDE out store.  Stop in, enjoy the colors & get rid of the winter blues.  We will be previewing some of our favorite spring looks over the next several weeks, so follow the blog and join us on facebook for a little pre-season celebration.

Winter will be over soon, but until then, come on in and enjoy our spring colors.

Congratulations to Katie Kyndels! Katie is the winner of our first Woolrich drawing and now owns a new Emotion "Glide" Kayak!  Here is her review after her first run down the river:


          The kayak is wonderful.  Yesterday my husband and I took it out on the Huron River.  
          We had an absolutely wonderful time.  It is very easy to handle and maneuver.  I 
          paddled both downstream and up with ease.

          My husband took a picture.  Thank you so much.

We are so glad that you love it, Katie!

The Colors of Fall | The Change is Here

I'm am already starting to notice the ways that summer is fading to fall.  The change in the lighting, the fluttering of the yellow walnut leaves, the drop in humidity (thank goodness).  People are starting to ask us what's in for fall.  The answer is beautiful colors, lots of textures and some really cool accessories.

In general, the colors of fall do not change-- only the hues are different.  This year, be on the lookout for deep purples, rich pinks and beautiful shades of orange and green.  Although it is hard to say goodbye to summer, I have to admit, cider and doughnuts and sleeping with the windows open are sounding pretty good right about now.
