Hollie: What new item are you most excited about?
Beth: Our branded line of swimsuits.
H: Which famous woman could you envision in Ulla?

Keep Your Sanity in the Winter!

If you are living on the East Coast you know we have had a hard hit of winter weather this past weekend, and we are sure to get more in the coming days. I can remember being a little kid and getting so excited when it snowed, the sleigh riding and snowball fights were far more exciting than a typical day. Now that I have grown up I only enjoy it when there are a few inches; enough to blanket the ground, and little enough to quickly clear the streets! If you feel like this is too much of a winter wonderland for comfort remember there are plenty of ways to stay entertained while staying at home.

Cuddle up with a good book, play a game you haven't played in years, shop the internet, make a home-made dinner from scratch, or write in a journal. Take this time to slow down your busy, hectic life and do something YOU enjoy.

What helps get you out of the winter blues?

Bundle Up!




The Holidays are fast approaching, and with the first signs of winter’s chilly air we have to make wardrobe changes. Winter is one of the best times to show the greatest variety in your clothing. Layering is a big trend right now, and the upcoming season is the best time to try this. You can take your favorite summer or fall tee and pair it with a great sweater. Layering gives you more clothing choices to make your favorite items last the whole year!

Style Tip!
Try pairing the Empire Cardigan #85518 with a Long Sleeve Tee #74580. This versatile look can be worn buttoned for a warm and cozy feel, or unbuttoned for a casual comfortable look!

Back To Basics!


While staring at my closet, trying to find something to wear for the day I realized I have a fair amount of items that have always been a constant in my wardrobe. Ranging from professional clothing and girly dresses, to comfortable lounge pants and big sweatshirts. Many of our customers have requested we provide them with just that, certain items that are always there- both in the catalog and online.

Trendy Fall Style!


We have had a little taste of Fall weather on the East Coast, as those cool nights and refreshing breezes roll in our wardrobes begin to change. After a couple months of 90 degree temperatures I am ready for a change, and its also a little exciting to see what clothes have been stashed away since Spring and Summer. Sometimes jeans can feel a little too heavy during Summer months, but are the perfect solution for Fall!


Have you tried Ulla's *NEW Italian Stretch Jeans #95810?
