The List

Shop Across Texas has published their list of the top 45 stores in Texas and 5 of them are located in Fredericksburg - that's more stores per capita than any town in Texas! So it's not surprising that Fredericksburg also won the award for Best Retail in a Small Town. We're flattered to be included in such a fine group of retailers. Be sure to visit the site and see who else made the cut.

Prices Have Dropped!

Spring and Summer merchandise is now 25-40% off! Don't miss out on the great deals we have to offer. Seldomly discounted goods, like jewelry and jeans are even on sale. Stock up before the new season begins.

Meet Jessica

There's a fresh face at Root. Jessica Hernandez just moved to Fredericksburg from San Antonio, along with her family, and is the newest member of the staff. She is friendly, knowledgeable, honest, fashionable, warm, and helpful. Could we ask for anything more? I think not! Come in as soon as you get a chance, and say "hello!"

Summer Soiree & Fashion Show

If you didn't make it to our Summer Soiree and Fashion Show, then you're going to want to kick yourself when you see what you missed. The event was a smash! We paired up with our neighbor, Beulah's, and hosted a runway show and after-party for our favorite customers and fashion-minded friends. The evening started across the street with mingling and groovy tunes. Models strutted down the catwalk in colorful vignettes, and entertained our guests with grace, style, and pint-sized cuteness. After the show, we opened our doors for discounted shopping, retro refreshments (wine-spritzers) and to-die-for desserts (iced Zingers and bite-sized brownies.) Local designers attended, offering jewelry, slip dresses, scarf tops, and one-of-a-kind finds.

Sage Perfumes

We just received a new collection of fragrances from Sage Perfumes. These unique blends are beautifully packaged in petite glass roller bottles within origami-inspired paper boxes and are delicate and feminine in every way. Unlike traditional perfume, which consists mostly of alcohol and water, Sage Perfumes are 100% oil. What that means is that the fragrance will last much longer on your skin. In fact, a single application will not only last throughout the day, but often into the next as well. The purity of the oils also enables your own body chemistry to come into play, making the scent more individual. Like a fine wine, these oils will actually improve with age. Just make sure they are kept in a cool place, and out of direct sunlight. My personal fragrance du jour is Coral, because I woke up this morning with the sandy beach on my mind. This one has a base of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk, middle notes of orange blossom and mimosa, and a subtle accent of coconut. I have not yet picked my favorite, though - they are all so good in their own ways. And they're light enough to mix, so the possibilities are practically endless.

Saint Grace is Back

I don't like to name favorites, but if I had to pick one clothing line to fill my entire closet, it would be Saint Grace. The fits are amazing, the fabrics are super-soft, and the style is somehow, ageless, timeless, casual, pulled-together, sexy, effortless, and right on trend. The line consists of well-made pieces that can take you from coffee, to the office, to happy hour, and then straight to bed, because they're just that comfortable. This season they have introduced some skinny jeans, a fitted blazer, a slouchy harem pant, all of which I can't wait to wear. But I'm also glad to see more of the rugby stripes, lounge pants, and cotton scarves that have been so popular in the past. We just unpacked a new box and the colors are gorgeous! Come, our most discerning customers, and prepare to be impressed.
