Here's your fashion scoop for the upcoming season - (our gift to you) - with insight to accommodate our amazing lifestyle here in the Caribbean.

 
I'm calling this season "Awakening"...
It seems that we are in the midst of an ongoing activism, coupled with individual self - awareness, which is translating into new directions and priorities for many of us. 
Our goal here at the shop is now (and has always been) to assist each person with becoming their best selves... we are all about YOUR style, so you can depend on us going forward with you, as you have for almost 30 years!
No matter what trends are out there, remember that our mission here at From the Gecko Boutique is to bring our clients what they want, stylishly and affordably. Thank you for constantly challenging us! We want you to know that we are always listening and working to 'up the game'. This Style Forecast is our gift to you, from the heart (of fashion), so please consider sharing these insights with your island friends and family.

2018-2019 colors - Sunrise / Sunset

Lucky us! Our strongest colors this season are in the warm Yellow to rust tones, including nude/skin shades. Almost like someone in Fashion heaven was listening to my mantra of “we come in all shades!”. Go (your) “nude” or a shade up or down for subtle contrast. Pantone has offered its palette of the season and we see highlights in fuschia/purple and orange/peach tones. So happy to say we are a shop full of COLOR so we can be confident that the rights combo is here for YOU!
Texture
Last year it was all about stripes. Still relevant, but there has been a shift towards elements of fringe, tassels and pleating as accents, creating textural interest instead of as a print or fabrication. Enjoy these embellishments on clothing or in accessories for a little extra somethin’. An easy way to “accessorize” with one embellished garment.
Rock City:
A few seasons ago I noticed a lot of sliced geodes being used in jewelry at market. Continuing along this design line, rocks and gemstones of all shapes and sizes are showing up in a BIG way in jewelry of the season. You will also see “nature inspired” shapes like arrowheads, leaves and planets. No longer just a style of “New Agers”, we are all recognizing the power of these pieces as vibrational representations of Mother Earth. If you are being drawn towards a stone because of its color or shape (its energy), it is likely because you need it in your life!  
Good Guys
Not to worry, Gents, we have wonderful items for you as well. This year get ready to up your game a bit with more fitted styles and brighter prints in shirting. We are determined to get you out of Tee shirts and white button downs! 
Self care/Planet care    
There is definitely a drive towards our intention to care for ourselves and to recognize what we should be doing to care for our planet and environment.  Each person translates this in their own way. At From the Gecko Boutique it means that we continue to do a few things. One is to present healthy, nature-based apothecary items that are good for you and secondly, continue to forge Fair Trade and nature conscious relationships with vendors we offer and be aware of where our products are crafted and under what conditions.  
Thank You!
We are looking forward to helping you find your groove this season. Lots of amazing trends ahead which we will personalize to YOU! Get ready to awaken to and discover what’s next for all of us!
As always, we are here to help. We maintain exclusivity with our designers, carefully curate our collections, and listen to our clients. We constantly strive to support Fair Trade, moral practices and reasonable prices. Yes, we DO layaway!! Please bring your own bag when shopping with us or be advised...we ask a small donation which is forwarded to our local environmental association.
