This year has been anything but ordinary. Balancing the beautifully messy roles of wife, mom, and business owner and remaining grounded as a sane human has been challenging but rewarding. I've had moments of stepping back, refocusing, and moving forward, all while striving to stay true to my purpose, passion, and why. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it.  

 If I've been a little quieter than usual—on social media or visibly in the store—it's only because I've been hard at work behind the scenes, growing both personally and professionally. And even in those quieter moments, I've made my business decisions with you in mind and consulted with many of you about ways we can best support your fashion-related needs. For that, I am deeply grateful for your loyalty and buy-in and all we strive to do here at Queen Anna House of Fashion and the community we've built together.  

As time passes, I want to reimagine how we connect as the holiday season begins. I'm thrilled to offer one-on-one shopping appointments and private client events tailored just for you. These moments are more than transactions—they're about helping you find pieces that make you feel confident, empowered, and completely yourself. With our one-on-one appointments, you'll have the undivided attention of our stylist, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable shopping experience.  

I’m also excited to share something special with you. From now through November 30th, enjoy 25% off all full-priced items as part of our Black Friday and Holiday Sale. This is the perfect opportunity to discover those pieces that will make your holiday season unforgettable.

And for all those in Minneapolis, mark your calendar for Small Business Saturday, November 30th, when we’ll host an in-store event from 12 to 5 p.m. Let’s celebrate community, connection, and, of course, style! It’ll be the perfect way to shop the final day of our sale while enjoying the season's spirit together.

Queen Anna House of Fashion has always been more than a boutique; it reflects our shared values—community, individuality, and authenticity. Your participation in this mission makes it meaningful. Thank you for being part of this community.

So, here's to resilience, growth, and all the beautifully messy, meaningful moments in between. I'm grateful to you and excited about the possibilities of the future. I can't wait to see what we create together in the season ahead.  

With love and gratitude,

It's about that time to start transitioning your wardrobe between the season. Here at Queen Anna House of Fashion, we want to help you make the most of your wardrobe, so we've come up with four easy steps to get your closet ready for the new season.

Maybe you've already checked cleaning your closet off your list and shedding those pieces you don't need anymore. It feels so great to see all of that empty space, but then you're probably wondering how you're going to fill that space back up. We want to intentionally add beautiful outfits and timeless essentials that are high quality and will never fade out of style. The best place to start when it comes to adding exciting pieces is with your basic closet essentials. Whether it's a neutral sweater or relaxed jeans, here are our favorite ways to level up the must-haves in your fashion arsenal.

1. Relaxed Jeans

Recently, skinny jeans have more or less disappeared and while we say love whatever you want to love, we DO love how great relaxed jeans feel. Once you find a pair that fits you perfectly, like any piece you buy, make sure you never let that go. The looser cut is great with ankle boots or combat boots, sneakers, and even heels. Pair with a boyfriend shirt or fitted t-shirt and blazer. The options are endless.

2. Classic Crewneck T-Shirt

A basic white crewneck t-shirt that is beautifully tailored to you and is made of high-quality materials is a closet essential that everyone must have. No matter what, it'll go great in any casual setting and it can be versatile enough to even dress it up if executed well. Wear it with a maxi skirt, your favorite pair of jeans, or even a matching blazer and pant set with stilettos for an elegant night out.

3. Non-Neutral Blazer

We all have a black, white, gray, or beige blazer hanging in our closets, but we're veering toward more color in our essentials for 2023. Consider a bright color to wear with your outfits to bring a fun pop of color. Go as daring as you want, from red, blue, or even a bold orange. Add it to your monochromatic outfit or dress it up with an eye-catching color-blocking ensemble. 

4. Neutral Sweater

We've got a few more weeks of winter until all of our cold-weather clothes are put away, so snatch up some neutral-toned sweaters for this season and the next. Keep it handy as luxe loungewear or wear it with a boyfriend blazer, some slacks, and loafers for a classic modern workwear look. Bonus: find sweaters made from lighter fabrics so you can carry them into spring and summer. 

5. Casual Midi Dress

A versatile midi dress is definitely one of those closet essentials to have in your closet for 2023. A midi-length dress brings comfort and to style it, your choices are unlimited. Wear it with cardigans, a cropped denim jacket, or even turn it into a midi skirt by wearing a shirt or sweater over it. 

Start your 2023 with new and fresh pieces that will go with anything else you're keeping in your closet. Download our app to shop or shop all of these closet essentials at Queen Anna House of Fashion now.
