the view from our balcony

Fall has officially been welcomed at Substance… lightweight jackets, sweaters, and fall colors are sprinkled throughout the store. There’s also plenty of practical and colorful over-the-shoulder bags ready for all the teachers, students, and people who love to ride a bike or lug around a load.

And for those of you who love a deal, our sale racks are fluffed up in full force in preparation for Gallery Hop tomorrow, making way for all the sweet new fall merchandise we’re expecting soon.  We’ve got racks from all seasons, ranging from $49.99 all the way to $9.99(!).  There’s a lot of good office-friendly clothing on the $49.99 rack, too.  We’ve even got a little something for the fellas: our solitary menswear rack (it’s overflowing with organic cotton, by the way) is entirely marked down to the low, low price of $14.99.  Sorry guys – we’re phasing out our men’s department for now!

inventory

Time to do some counting… we’ll be closed for inventory on Tuesday, July 28th.  We’ll be around with pens, clipboards, and little scraps of paper, so feel free to give us a call at (614)  299-2910 if there’s something you can’t get off your mind.  Afterwards, we relax @ Basi!

Lauren Boot, by Terra Plana

Lauren Boot, by Terra Plana

Our Terra Plana shoes are in!  There’s two styles to start out – the Lauren Boot (above) and the Juniper Heel.   We’re super-excited to have Terra Plana here @ Substance, as they’re an amazing eco-conscious line that always combines strangers-will-stop-you-on-the-street style with comfort, longevity, and every little detail a shoe connoisseur will squeal at.

Also new… fresh shipments of Lenora Dame vintage-inspired jewelry, Marissa B chunky gemstones, Sue London ballet flats, Melie Bianco handbags, and, of course, Painterly Tees.

sidewalk-sale

It’s time for the annual Summer Sidewalk Sale!  Great deals will abound, all around the neighborhood.  We’ll be doing an additional 25% off our already marked down clearance merchandise, plus an additional 50% off on menswear and Melissa shoes.  It’ll be a great day for a walk, plus you’ll be sure to find some great deals along the way.

in-store-pickup

Yes, two posts in a day… but… we’ve added the option of in-store pickup on our website, for those of you who’d love to stop in to pick up your web purchases instead of having them shipped to you.  Eliminates the shipping charge, and your purchase will be held for you until you get the chance to come visit.

We’ve got a couple new items up on the website… one of our favorites is the headbands that Maddie (above) lovingly crafted from leftover bits of the Voile Voila collection.   Adorable on everyone, and only $18!
