Welcome to the neighborhood, Dante's Frozen Yogurt!

 

 Dante’s Frozen Yogurt Bar opened last Friday in downtown Troy and Some Girls are excited to have a new neighbor! Dante’s is a self-serve frozen yogurt bar, with several different flavors of frozen yogurt and an amazing topping bar with fresh fruit, candy pieces and other crazy toppings. Sam and Margaret hopped over for a snack and were glad that a business with great customer service and great frozen yogurt will be an addition to the awesome downtown community. So come hop and shop with Some Girls and head over to Dante’s for some excellent frozen yogurt located at 274 River Street Troy, NY.

Some Girls attend this year's Siro's Cup

Last night was the 19^th annual Siro’s Cup, a cocktail fundraiser to help benefit The Center for Disability Services in Albany. Held every year at Siro’s trackside restaurant on the eve of opening day to jump start the Saratoga Race Track season, this year had a record high with over 1,200 attendees and over $200,000 raised and Some Girls were happy to be a part of it. Trainer Linda Rice was the fundraiser’s honoree, becoming the first woman to win a Saratoga training title. There was great food, great friends and great dresses, which only made us more excited for our NEW dress shipment coming in this Wednesday and Thursday. So get ready for track season and hop into Some Girls for your perfect Saratoga dress!

DIY Basket Weave Crop Top

As the summer days are getting longer..hem lines are getting shorter!  Here's another easy way to add a little flare to an old shirt!

We started out by taking an over sized shirt ( Any size shirt or tank top will do as long as its a soft cotton and a little longer)

Then we cut about half inch slits up to the graphic of the shirt to make a fringe crop.  You can make shorter or longer pieces depending how comfortable you are with showing off your stomach, however we suggest cutting a little shorter to get the best result.

We took the top of two of the pieces and knotted them together.

We continued to do this by taking a piece from each fringe and knotting it to the one next to it for three more rows, front and back.

 Once completed you will have a basket weave fringe crop top perfect to pair with a pair of cut off denim shorts or a high waisted skirt from Some Girls boutique!

Three Awesome Ways to Revamp your Old Tees

Every once in a while, you need to clean out your clothes. Of course, you pull out a bunch of old, ratty shirts where you wonder why you owned them in the first place. Don't worry, it happens to all of us. We found a cute way to recycle those shirts and use them for an updated trend. These DIY projects are easy, simple, & timeless... Not to mention adorable! Get ready to be creative!

1) chic braided headband

Cut two pieces of your shirt, choose colors of your preference!

Then, get a ball chain or any chain to intertwine with the shirt strands. We used an old necklace!

Tie them around a hair elastic & strt to braid. When finished, tie it to the elastic again. Tada! You're done and now you have a fabulous headband to wear with your next outfit!

We went for the classy black & white with a silver chain!

2) stringy statement necklace

This item is perfect with a simple shirt and some jeans. Or go for a bold look with a dress! This is our stringy statement necklace. To make this, you'll need just the old shirt & a pair of scissors.

Cut lots of strands from the shirt, then stretch them out until they start to curl. If they don't curl, find another shirt... we ran into that problem.

Once the strands are cut & stretched, form a figure 8. The length of your necklace will shorten by 1/2 and thats okay!

Then take an extra strand for the clasp. I liked mine to be a little more creative, so I braided it. Now the back of the necklace looks more fun. Feel free to braid some strips and throw it into the figure 8. Play around & make it your own!

Here is your final piece, how cute!

3) What a Work Out Tank!

With summer in full swing, you can't but help to gain a few pounds while indulging in the BBQs, grad parties, ice cream galore, and going out with friends. Once you realize how much you've been devouring, its going to be gym time. How about working out in your new gear including this adorable work out tank?! So simple to make.

First, cut off the sleeves and the lower half of the tee shirt, you don't want your top to be so loose.

When the sleeves are cut off, pull the two sides in the back so we can create a twist with the straps. The sleeves will start to curl but all you need to do is twist and keep twisting until you are half way down your back. 

Your tank should look something like this:
