Fashion Forward
Summer Essentials
We are slowly but surely transitioning over into a new season. Despite all of this crazy Midwest weather that we’ve been experiencing, our heavy, cold climate apparel is being packed away to make room for lighter layers. At some point as you start packing and unpacking you start to think about what add-ons you need […]
3rd & Army for Spring/Summer 2013
At little over a year old, 3rd & Army has already made its mark within the men’s fashion industry. Launched in 2011, 3rd & Army was able to quickly deliver on-trend men’s apparel to the marketplace. The 3rd & Army Corporate Headquarters is located in the LA Art District and is compromised of a staff […]
Introducing WeSC – We are the Superlative Conspiracy
We’ve recently added a new member to our arsenal of men’s brands. WeSC (short for We are the Superlative Conspiracy) is a Swedish clothing label that was founded in 2003. This brand is based heavily on skateboarding influences and style. Over time, WeSC has gained a popular “alternative” image through sponsoring underground artists and musicians […]
Glik’s Loves Element Eden 4 Kind Campaign
Last week our Highland, IL store location hosted Element Eden Advocates, Molly Thompson and Lauren Parsekian, co-founders of the Kind Campaign. The Kind Campaign is a non-profit organization whose main objective is to educate and confront the negative effects of bullying between females. Lauren and Molly, both affected by female bullying at younger ages, created […]
TOMS + Glik’s One Day Without Shoes 2013
For the past 3 years Glik’s has celebrated TOMS One Day Without Shoes under the St. Louis, Missouri Arch. The whole Home Office shed their shoes and walked the Arch grounds barefoot. One Day Without Shoes is a special day that Glik’s helps TOMS raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have […]
We Heart White Denim
White jeans. It’s the freshest trend right now. I absolutely love a good pair of white denim jeans. A staple in anyone’s closet, white denim has broken the old adage that you cannot wear white after Labor Day. In fact, I’ve seen white worn extensively throughout the seasons, which is great! You can take […]
TOMS One Day Without Shoes 2013
Last year on April 10th the Glik’s home office staff gathered under the Arch with our friends/family to raise awareness and celebrate the TOMS shoes campaign One Day Without Shoes. We invited the public to join in on our games, eat yummy pizza from IMO’s, and put their best foot forward (literally) by creating a […]
We’re Excited for New Styles from 1897
Our Midwest weather has been quite mysterious lately. Sunny and in the fifties one day, then spewing 7 plus inches of snow –with a high in the lower thirties– on the next. It’s just crazy… Dead serious, these photos are only a day apart. If we could have it our way, we would tell Mother […]
We Love Made in USA
It’s been a major topic of discussion for years, and is positioning itself as a mainstream trend… We’re talking about domestically produced goods, and the impact that they’re currently having on the American society. Have you ever taken the time to sift through your wardrobe and really look at what your garment tags say? I […]
We Love Shorts and Capris
This spring, the only thing on our minds is the return of the sun, warmer temperatures, and how quickly we can be tempted to loose our heavy winter layers. Spring, for me, has always represented the idea of renewal. We begin the process of packing away our winter wardrobes to make room for all of […]
Spring is Afoot
Lately I’ve found myself getting lost in mountains of new spring arrivals. Despite being buried to my neck in work, it’s hard to not love the almost exclusive first look that I am able to have at all of the new product. I’ve styled dozens of new spring outfits before I’ve even written and placed […]
Viva Las Vegas
All of the photos from our buying trip to MAGIC have been uploaded and organized, FINALLY. I can’t believe that this time last week I was in Las Vegas hanging out with the buying team and exploring what seemed like hundreds of vendor booths. My trip seemed like a blur even though we extended our […]
