From footwear for both men and women, handbags, eyewear and more, Steve Madden allows you to dress-up and dress-down as needed without ever sacrificing style or budget. We love Steve Madden! 

No white after Labor Day? We say no way! The rule about wearing white after Labor Day is absolutely passe!

However, to pull the look off successfully, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind.

1. Consider the fabric – think more wool than cotton with maybe a texture, not a flat weave. 
2. Choose a shade – stay away from stark white and look for shades of cream, ivory or stone
3. Think about the article of clothing or shoes. After Labor Day, we suggest steering away from wearing white shorts or tanks but more appropriate Fall pieces. 

Now you are set to rule white all year long!

As fall slowly creeps in, the major question on all of our minds is “What are we supposed to do with our fabulous summer wardrobe we cultivated all summer?” If you’re not ready to give-up your sweet summer dresses, never fear, 6pm.com is here to help. The simple answer? Throw a pretty cardigan over your favorite summer staples! Geometric-print light sweaters give an interesting dimension to your basics. Or go with a crimson-color story, THE color story of the fall! And if you’re feeling a bit more understated, a simple black cardigan will always make you look polished and pretty. Let the Fall, well…fall! 

   Being a smart shopper means being able to decipher when it makes sense to save, and when it makes sense to splurge. Investment pieces are a key part of every wardrobe. You may spend a bit more, but you know you’ll be getting a piece that will withstand time and have a great quality material. We’re loving the jumpsuit trend right now, and recommend that every fashionista have one in her closet. This piece from BCBGMaxAzria will provide versatility and serious style. Dress it up with a great bag or clutch, some neutral heels, or a necklace and earrings for a polished and perfect look! 

Back-to-school is right around the corner, and without a doubt, denim is an essential part of a new wardrobe. This staple allows every back-to-school student to look their best with a garment that’s still easily cleaned and kept-up. 

With the right pair of denim, you can take your outfit from the school yard to your favorite activities after the bell rings from shopping to rallying for the football team! 

Summer calls for all kinds of special occasions. Birthday parties, event galas…well, any kind of party, really! We’re showing you how to look your best while still keeping cool during the hot months. We are obsessed with this look picked by our senior stylist, Jay Alexander (It’s actually his birthday today, too!) For an evening out on the town, we love this black shirt paired with a black lace skirt and with either these red or black heels! Top it off with a chunky bracelet and a silver clutch, and you’re good to go. Have fun and stay fabulous out there! 

The 4th of July may be over, but we love this summer trend so much that we just can’t stop seeing stripes. Nautical by Nature is a top style statement for the season. The versatility, fun pop of color, and slightly preppy style makes for a polished look from coast-to-coast. Not just limited to stripes, try this trend with navy, polka dot, and metallic accents that put your wardrobe in ship-shape. 

Whichever your style, stay warm and stylish. 

The best weekend of the season to shop starts in just 3 days. Are you prepped? From cozy slippers to stellar watches, we have anything and everything for your loved ones. 

Animal print: whether just an accent or a whole ensemble, everyone needs a little ferocity in their fall wardrobe.
