With new arrivals landing weekly, it's easy for a genuinely great piece to get lost in the scroll. This post pulls a few current standouts straight from our homepage — starting with a top that actually delivers on real lace detail, plus a handful of other new pieces worth knowing about.
In this post, we're covering the High Neck Blouse with Lace Peplum in depth, a quick look at a few other new arrivals, and how to style everything for celebrations, travel, and everyday wear.
The Star of This Post: Genuine Lace Detail
Unlike several pieces we've covered recently, this one actually delivers on lace — real embroidered lace detailing at the neckline and hem. If you've been waiting for a proper deep dive into one of our true lace pieces, this is it.
Meet the High Neck Blouse with Lace Peplum ($46.00)
This lace peplum blouse features a flattering high neckline, embroidered lace details, long balloon sleeves, and a feminine silhouette for an effortlessly elegant look. Perfect for pairing with jeans, trousers, or skirts, this boutique top is ideal for date nights, holiday gatherings, the office, and everyday wear.
The Design Details
- Embroidered lace hem detail — Genuine lace embroidery, not a print or faux texture.
- High neck with lace detail — The neckline itself incorporates lace, tying the whole design together.
- Peplum silhouette — A flattering, structured shape through the waist.
- Long balloon sleeves with elastic cuffs — Dramatic volume that tapers to a comfortable, secure cuff.
- No stretch, unlined construction — A structured drape rather than a clingy fit.
- True to size — Order your usual size with confidence.
Fabric & Care
Made from a 96% polyester, 4% spandex blend. To keep it looking its best:
- Hand wash in cold water
- Do not bleach
- Hang or line dry
Two Colors to Choose From
Black
The moodiest, most versatile option — perfect for evening looks or layering under darker outerwear. Models Haylee (5'8", typically a Size 2/XS) and Ellie (5'6", typically a Size 4/S) both wear a Small. With 26 left in stock.
Maroon
A rich, jewel-toned alternative that leans slightly warmer and more seasonal. Models Mariah (5'5", typically a Size 4/M) and Haylee (5'8", typically a Size 2/XS) both wear a Small. With 27 left in stock.
Our recommendation: Both colors are well-stocked, so this really comes down to personal preference — Black for maximum versatility, Maroon for a bit more seasonal warmth.
