Foxcroft blouses

New Colors, Fresh Prints, and Timeless Style

At Fashion Crossroads, we believe every wardrobe needs a few key essentials—and at the top of our list is a great blouse. For over 10 years, we’ve proudly carried Foxcroft blouses, and we’re more convinced than ever that this brand makes the best blouses on the market.

This fall, we’re thrilled to introduce new colors and prints to our collection, including some that we’ve never offered before! Whether you’re dressing for the office, heading out to dinner, or packing for a getaway, these new Foxcroft styles deliver the perfect combination of fashion, function, and fabulousness.

🖤 Meet the Mary: Now in Black and Navy

The Mary blouse has always been a customer favorite, and for good reason. With its classic tailored silhouette, no-iron wrinkle-free cotton, and timeless style, it’s the perfect piece for everything from meetings to weekend brunch.

And now, for the first time ever, we’re offering the Mary in deep black and rich navy—two essential, versatile shades that every woman needs in her closet.

Whether you’re pairing it with trousers for the office or wearing it open over a tee with jeans, this blouse holds its shape, resists wrinkles, and looks crisp all day long. If you’ve ever struggled to find a button-down that stays sharp and polished from morning to night—your search ends here.

🖤 Say Hello to the Margie: Black & White Stripe Perfection

New to our fall Foxcroft lineup, the Margie blouse offers a modern spin with a sleek black and white striped print. Bold, yet effortlessly wearable, this blouse is your new go-to for putting a stylish twist on the everyday.

Its lightweight feel and wrinkle-free finish make it just as practical as it is fashionable. Try it tied at the waist with denim, belted over slacks, or buttoned-up with bold accessories for a look that’s classic with a creative edge.

💜 Fall for the June in Fig

Also new to our Foxcroft collection is the June blouse, available in a gorgeous fig hue—a rich, deep plum that flatters every skin tone and adds warmth to your wardrobe.

With its easy, relaxed fit and Foxcroft’s signature no-iron cotton, the June is an ideal choice for layering under a blazer, styling with slacks, or wearing solo with jeans. It’s effortlessly polished, incredibly comfortable, and just the right blend of casual and dressy.

Why We Love Foxcroft (and You Should Too)

Founded in 1986, Foxcroft has earned a loyal following for their non-iron cotton blouses that truly live up to the hype. Their secret? High-quality fabrics that stay crisp without needing dry cleaning or ironing—yes, really.

We’ve tested them ourselves: I can wear a Foxcroft blouse all day—standing, sitting, and everything in between—and when I take it off at night, it looks as smooth as when I first put it on. They’re also my go-to travel pieces. You can fold them in your suitcase, pull them out, and wear them straight away without a single crease.

The Styling Power of a Blouse

A well-fitting blouse is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples you can own. Whether you’re heading into the office, meeting friends for lunch, or running errands, it’s the one piece that can transform your whole outfit. Here are just a few ways to wear it:

  • Buttoned up for a tailored, professional look
  • Open as a lightweight layering piece over tanks or tees
  • Tucked in for a clean silhouette
  • Left out for a casual vibe
  • Tied at the waist with high-rise jeans or a skirt
  • Belted for a figure-flattering touch

And if you’re retired but still want to feel sharp? A great blouse can elevate your favorite jeans, giving you polish without sacrificing comfort.

Last Call Looks: How to Style the Final Pieces Like a Pro

Last Call Looks: How to Style the Final Pieces Like a Pro

We’ve all been there—browsing through the sale rack and spotting that one lonely piece left in your size, marked down and waiting to be loved. It’s tempting, but it can also be tricky: How do you style those final pieces? Are they really worth grabbing if they’re the “last call”? The answer is YES—and today, I’m showing you how to style those hidden gems like a pro. 💁‍♀️✨

The Sale Rack Isn’t Leftovers—It’s Opportunity

It’s easy to assume that end-of-season pieces are what no one wanted. But more often than not, they’re simply the last survivors of best-sellers! Maybe there were only a couple of sizes to begin with, or maybe it was such a hit, it just flew out the door. That means you’re catching the very end of something fabulous—possibly at a steal.

The key is styling with intention and a little creativity. That “last one left” could be the standout piece your wardrobe is craving.

1. Elevate with Neutrals

If you score a bold color or a unique print, don’t let it intimidate you. Pair it with neutral basics like denim, white jeans, or a black blazer to let the piece shine. Think of it as the star of your outfit, not the whole show.

✔️ Pro tip: A bright floral blouse? Tuck it into a sleek black skirt, black slacks, or wear it with cropped jeans and wedges for instant sophistication.

2. Layer It Like You Meant To

Many final-sale items are lightweight transitional pieces—tops, short sleeve sweaters, or dresses—that work year-round if layered correctly.

✔️ Pro tip: A summer dress can carry you into fall with a denim jacket and ankle boots. A sleeveless blouse becomes office-ready under a blazer. A short sleeve denim top can be a year around basic paired under a blazer. A striped tee can be just the right print to wear under a solid cardigan sweater. A denim vest can be a star for fall when layered with a white collared blouse.

3. Update the Accessories

Sometimes all a piece needs is a fresh accessory story to feel totally modern. Add statement earrings, a bold belt, or a great crossbody bag to give that final-piece vibe a trendy upgrade.

✔️ Pro tip: Our Kendra Scott Mini Elisa Necklace or a HOBO leather bag can breathe new life into any outfit.

4. Treat It Like a Limited Edition

Remember: when you’re buying a final piece, you’re buying something no one else will be able to grab later. That makes it even more special! These one-of-a-kind wardrobe additions can become signature looks when styled with confidence.

✔️ Pro tip: Keep a mental list (or photo album!) of your current wardrobe so you can picture how that piece will fit in before you buy. Think versatility.

5. Ask the Experts (That’s Us!)

One of the BEST things about shopping with us is our commitment to helping you style what you buy. Whether it’s in-store advice, Facebook Lives like Wednesday Wardrobing, or style help inside our VIP Fashionistas Group, we’ve got your back.

✔️ Pro tip: Bring that “final piece” to our VIP group and ask for outfit ideas—you’ll get tons of inspiration from fellow fashion lovers, but you’ll have to join first! Here’s the link: Fashion Crossroads Fashionistas VIP Group.

This Week’s Wednesday Wardrobing Live: “Last Call Looks”

Join me tonight at 6 p.m. MST on Facebook and Instagram as I share real outfit examples of how to make those last pieces your most-loved items. I’ll style them head-to-toe and show you how versatile they really can be. Watch the video on our Facebook page.

And remember… the best pieces don’t always arrive at the start of the season. Sometimes, they’re waiting at the very end—just for you. 💕

From Acne-Stricken Teen to Confident Skin at 53: Why I Trust SeneGence

Posted in beauty by

My Skincare Journey

I can still remember the sting of my first breakout like it was yesterday. It hit in junior high—the same time I started dabbling with makeup—and suddenly, my face felt like a flashing neon sign that screamed “Look at my acne!” Every glance in the mirror felt like confirmation that this was all anyone saw when they looked at me.

It was the 1980s, and back then, options for treating acne were limited. Acutane was the go-to for scarring acne, but if you didn’t meet that criteria, you were left with harsh over-the-counter cleansers that often did more damage than good. I tried product after product, scrubbing and cleansing and hoping for clear skin. But nothing worked.

Then, one night, something shifted. I was watching TV and saw an infomercial for Proactive. It promised hope—hope I desperately needed. I asked my mom if we could order it, and thankfully, she said yes. For me, it worked. It gave me back something far more powerful than clear skin: my confidence.

Even after that, acne remained part of my life well into my late twenties. It required constant vigilance—always watching what I used, always sticking to a routine. That battle shaped me. It made me picky about what I put on my skin. I had earned the right to be selective.

How I Found SeneGence

Fast forward a few years. I was at market when I came across SeneGence for the first time. What caught my attention wasn’t skincare—it was LipSense, the brand’s iconic long-wearing lip color. The idea of lipstick that could stay put all day? I was intrigued.

So, I gave it a try. And I was hooked. One product led to another, and now, five years later, SeneGence is all I use. From foundation to skincare to eye shadow and lip color, every product in my daily routine comes from this brand.

And I can honestly say:
💙 I love how it feels on my skin
💙 I love that it stays put all day
💙 I love that I can model clothes for my store without worrying about makeup transfer
💙 I love that at 53, people assume I’m in my forties

For someone who fought acne for decades, that’s more than just makeup—it’s freedom.

Why SeneGence Is Different: A Brand That Truly Cares for Skin

SeneGence International was founded in 1999 by Joni Rogers-Kante, who had a simple but powerful vision: to create long-lasting cosmetics and anti-aging skincare that actually work. Starting with their now-iconic LipSense, the brand has grown into a full beauty line that includes skincare, foundation, color cosmetics, and body care.

But what truly sets SeneGence apart isn’t just performance—it’s ethics and formulation.

🌍 They Follow European Clean Beauty Standards

In the U.S., the FDA bans only a few dozen harmful cosmetic ingredients. In Europe, that number is over 1,300. SeneGence has committed to aligning their formulations with European standards—which means their products are free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, formaldehydes, mineral oils, and other toxic ingredients commonly found in other brands.

This is a big deal. It means you can use SeneGence knowing you’re choosing products that meet one of the highest global standards for safety and cleanliness—and that matters, especially for women like me who’ve spent a lifetime caring for their skin.

💚 Clean, Cruelty-Free, and Skin-Loving

  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • No animal by-products
  • Responsibly sourced mica
  • Formulated without gluten, silicones, or drying waxes

SeneGence combines high-performance makeup with skincare-grade ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins, and botanical extracts, so every product nourishes as it perfects. And yes, they’re designed to last all day—no touch-ups required.

Final Thoughts

After struggling with acne for more than a decade, I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your skin. That’s why I’m so passionate about the products I use and share in my store. SeneGence has earned my trust—not just because it works, but because it takes care of my skin in every way.

If you’re still looking for that holy grail makeup or skincare product—or if you’re just tired of touch-ups, breakouts, and ingredient labels you can’t pronounce—come try what’s worked for me. I’ll be posts all week on our Facebook and Instagram pages of my favorite products and why I think you will like them too!

You deserve to love your skin again.
