Helena's Arlington Will Open Tomorrow!

After over a week of painting, setting up our new fixtures and adding all kinds of beautiful details, Helena's Arlington will open tomorrow!  We are still a work-in-progress.  The new construction of our expansion is a few weeks away from conclusion.  Come in and see all the new fashions!  We have missed you!  

What do Helena's Staffers Wear...

...to re-open the Arlington location?  Prairie Underground!  Jessica, Hannah and Chelsea all showed up for move-in day in their favorite hoodies.  After a day of redressing the racks, making the store look amazing and cleaning like crazy, these three still look lovely!

We are progressing on our renovations!

Our renovations in Arlington are moving along and the place is looking great!  We hope to open soon!  Stay tuned!

Helena's is Hiring!

With the recent expansion of our Arlington store, we are hiring!  If you think it would be fun to work at Helena's, you are right!  We are looking to build on to our smart, hard-working, and stylish staff.  Here are the best reasons to work at our shops (just 10 here, there are more):

1. We have the nicest customers in the retail world.  
2. Our staff is pretty lovely as well.
3. Beautiful clothing and accessories are delivered on a daily basis, and you get to open the boxes.  It's like the best-birthday-ever!
4. You get a generous employee discount on all the lines you love...Prairie Underground, Joe's Jeans, Velvet, Ella Moss, the list is pretty spectacular.
5. Both Helena's stores are in sweet neighborhoods, surrounded by busy dynamic businesses.  
6. If you have a passion, be it merchandising, graphic design, photography, or finding new lines we will put your talents to good use.
7. We are good listeners.
8. We offer flexible schedules if you are a student or a parent.  
9. There are huge personal rewards to helping someone find the perfect dress for an event, or getting them into the best-fitting jeans of their life.
10. Helena's has a savvy supportive staff, and we train you well.  You can come into the store a good Sales Associate, and we will make you even better.

If you have retail experience and a killer sense of style, send your resume and cover letter to Katherine at info@ilovehelenas.com

New York Shows: Preview of Fall 2014

This was the week NYC hosted the fall fashion shows!  Sunday we exuberantly attended the Designers & Agents show in Chelsea.  The fall Prairie Underground collection is filled with soft fabrics, new shapes and great new colors!  We also previewed the Pendleton Portland Collection for summer...you will see some of their beautiful accessories come spring!

We hit the enormous and delicious Coterie show on Monday & Tuesday.  Our favorites: New prints from Nally & Mille (above), the summer washes from Joe's Jeans, Wooden Ships fall sweater collection, and Ella Moss tops!

This perfect jean jacket from Joe's will be in-store at the end of the summer!  (Yes, that is an espresso machine in the booth...it is a very caffeinated show.)  We continue to find the best of new trends for the year-round Helena's collection!

Your adorable new rain jacket.

It's from Lole!  The Kensington jacket will keep you dry and adorable all spring long.  At Helena's Belmont.

New woven tops from Velvet.

Spring is all about the woven button-up.  Velvet just delivered two of the best versions in pretty prints! Wear these with a classic denim skirt, or with white jeans!
