Fall Fashion at Midtown

Fall is finally here, and with a new season comes new trends! At Fringe, we can help you keep up with the latest fall trends at low prices. Come check out some of our new arrivals at Midtown and keep your closet updated with the latest styles:
  • Camel Colors. Camel is a classic fall color, and we have tons of camel options for you to choose from! Try on a pair of Antonio Melani Dress Pants (size 6), Yellowbox Flats (size 7.5), or a cute Kate Landry camel square bag.
  • Velvet and Velour. We have a great pair of black velvet knee length shorts (size 4). Pair them with a classic pair of pumps and a dress shirt for a fashion-forward business outfit.
  • White and Black prints. A White House Black Market print halter (size M) looks great under a blazer for cooler fall weather!
  • Blood Red colors. This trend may sound a little gruesome, but our patent two-strap large red bag adds life to any outfit!
  • Patchwork prints. This Eloise shortsleeve patchwork dress (size L) is both trendy and comfortable!
  • Tough Pleated Mini Skirts. We have a Ben Sherman pleated brown mini skirt (XS) that can be paired with tights and ankle boots for a fashion-forward look.
  • Touches of Leopard Print. Our leopard print necklace set is the perfect addition to spice up any fall outfit!
  • Black Lace. A White House Black Market lace top (size M) is a great way to keep up with this pretty and delicate trend.
  • Drapey Knits. We have an Antonio Melani brown knit shirt (size XS) that has both drapey sleeves and graffiti print, another fall trend.
So, don't break the bank keeping up with new trends. Just come into Fringe and enjoy great fashion at great prices!

Our Trip to NYC!!!




We had so much fun in New York City!! Donna, Rebecca, Apryl, Joy, and I had tons of fun and saw so many things in a really short time, and it was a blast. So here's a quick recap of what we saw while we were there...


Day 1 - We checked into the hotel and headed out to check out the Greenwich Village area...we saw Washington Square, the cute boutiques, the Greenwich neighborhoods, found a Magnolia Bakery (Rebecca had specifically requested that we go to Magnolia Bakery and we happened to run across one), shopped a little, and headed back to get changed for dinner. We walked over to a great little Greek restaurant (Periyali) and it was fantastic and so much fun to try some new dishes. Afterwards, we headed to the Empire State Building where we hung out for awhile and just enjoyed the wonderful views of NYC at night. Then we were completely worn out and headed back to rest up for day 2.


Day 2 - Got dressed in our best (from Fringe) and headed a couple of blocks over the Chelsea Studios where the Martha Stewart show is filmed. We saw some great clothes (current and vintage)...brands like Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, etc. Lots of fantastic handbags being carried!!. We enjoyed seeing out a live show like that is run from start to finish - it was very interesting. From there we had some time to go change into something more comfortable for shopping, so we quickly changed and headed to the Upper East Side to grab some lunch. We had a great lunch at Eli Zabar's EAT on Madison Avenue and had an hour or so to waste, so we wandered around Central Park. The weather was wonderful for the entire trip so we enjoyed seeing the sights of Central Park. Our consignment shop tour began at 3pm, and out guide, Lou, was great. She showed us some out of this world consignment stores (we're talking full of Prada, D&G, Gucci, Louie Vuitton, Diane Von Furstenburg, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and any other designer brands you can even think of). This was probably my favorite part of the trip (other than just hanging out with the girls) - the stuff in these stores was amazing to say the least. I made just a few purchases myself (and am wearing one of those today). So the tour was too short, but we had reservations at Carmine's on Broadway so we had to make it to our dinner, so we had to catch and taxi and run. Carmine's was a family style Italian restaurants and lots of fun (would highly recommend for a group) - way too much good food!! Our next stop was Times Square that evening. We really enjoyed just hanging out at the TKTS arena and people watching. We were also able to walk over to Rockerfeller Center, so we wanted to at least look, so we checked that out too (we saw lots and lots of things in our short trip). Then back to the hotel via subway to rest up for day 3.
Day 3 - this was out day to see whatever we wanted to and go wherever we wanted. Out flight wasn't until 5:40, so we had all day. So here's what we checked out...Chinatown, Little Italy (Little Italy was having a festival of some sort, so it was decorated very festively), Nolita, Noho, and Soho. Soho is the place to go for high end shopping! We enjoyed just checking out these stores (window shopping mainly) - PRADA, Kate Spade, Gucci, and on and on and on. I did run across a little known store based in Barcelona. I spoke to one of the people working there and she told me about the store and that currently, they are only in New York and Miami in the states. If you like something different, check it out... www.desigual.com. I made a couple of purchases here.
Well, that about covers it...lots of things to see and a short time to do it, but we did! We navigated the subway system with some ease (most of the time), looked at lots of fun stores, shopped a little, and had fun, fun, fun! Thanks for coming...Donna, Rebecca, Joy, and Apryl!!!

Consigning with Fringe

Fringe is the place to go for consignment in the Auburn/Opelika area, and we love to see new consignors coming in the door! When sorting through clothes you are considering bringing to us, here are just a few things to keep in mind.
  • There are 2 ways to make money at Fringe. Our downtown store offers consignment as well as "cash for clothes". Fringe offers cash for items purchased within the last year in excellent condition. Some brands that we can take for cash include Ann Taylor, Loft, Chico's, Coldwater Creek, BCBG, Free People, and designer jeans. Our Midtown store only offers "cash for clothes" (no consignment) for teen and young adult branded clothing.
  • Freshly-cleaned and groomed items are more appealing to customers, which means they will be more likely to be accepted.
  • Presentation is key. Clothes still on hangers or neatly folded in shopping bags look more appealing to a buyer.
  • Are all the buttons secure? Fasteners in working order? Seams stiff sturdy?
  • Use a good light to look for stains, discoloration, or fading.
  • Only items in season are accepted on consignment, so focus your selection on the current and upcoming seasons.
  • At Fringe, we don't buy or consign any of the following: vintage clothing, lingerie, bathing suits, costumes, or estate clothing. We also do not accept items purchased from Wal-Mart or K-mart and other discount stores.
  • Pricing is based on original cost of item, current condition, age, style, & demand.
  • Thanks for considering Fringe as your consignment home! We can't wait to see what great items you have for us!
