New Blaque Label Dresses

While I think these pictures speak volumes on their own, I’m always happy to add a little commentary. Available in two of our favorite colors this season—nude and fuchsia, this silk tulip skirted dress fits amazingly and looks great with a number of our ADA leather obi belts (shown in turquoise and patent black).

Layered Antiqued Bow Necklace - $36.00

Ada Leather Obi Belt - $60.00

Blaque Label Silk Tulip Wrap Dress - $111.00

This simple dress can be worn with gladiators for running around during the day and can be dressed up with heels at night or paired with a blazer for work.

Ada Leather Obi Belt - $60.00

Oversized Horn Necklace - $15.00

This fringe dress is truly a show-stopper! Two layers of pale pink fringe sway while the fitted jersey dress beneath features boning to keep it comfy and give it shape at the same time. Our model had to wear shades to keep cool in this hot little number.

Blaque Label Fringe Corset Dress - $107.00

100 Pearl Wishes Necklace in Silver/Black (worn as bracelet) - $86.00

Juicy Loves Velour

How cute is this short sleeved Juicy Couture tracksuit set? We love the ombre dye on the front and back waistbands of the jacket and the pants and the matching button details on the front.

 

The jacket features a petal sleeve, front ruching and tabbed pockets with the signature gold J zipper pull. The ombre stenciled LOVE print is repeated on the side of the pants and this set even comes with a matching tote bag when you buy the full set! ($88.00 value!)

LOVE this color on blondes! (obviously it looks amazing!) This 3/4 sleeve velour hoodie and matching shorts set features gold juicy logo buttons and signature zipper pull as well as twisted cord ties. Perfect for running around after the pool or just to throw on to run to the store!

Give Them a Strong Shoulder

 

One-shouldered styles have been milling around for the last few seasons but we’ve really seen them take off this year. This one-shoulder dress from Blaque Label features an exaggerated shoulder flap and flared hips to accentuate your curves (even if you don’t have any) and looks amazing on anyone with a tan! We love the idea of keeping the shoes fairly simple, like these nude Dolce Vita’s and bright accessories. You can even skip the longer necklace and opt for a belt if you want to show off the curves of your body and the dress even more!

With Love from Australia

 

We’re absolutely loving all the amazing lines coming out of Australia right now! We just started carrying WISH, we have been featuring Mink Pink for a while, and we have another line—Style Stalker arriving this fall! All of the lines are incredibly trendy and fit so well and their prices—unbeatable!

Both this woven-front mini skirt and this Burnin’ Up Burnout Tank with sheer animal print are by Mink Pink and absolute must-haves in my book! (see my post below for why everyone should should have several black mini-skirts) We saw tons of animal prints making their way back into the fall and holiday collections when we were in New York for market, so we’re excited to see it starting to come in. This burnout is just the right amount of sheer that you can get away with just a bra or bandeau underneath and we love the idea of it layered with a blazer or sweater when the weather cools off. It’s even subtle enough to wear with another pattern and bright colors! What’s even better is that this entire outfit (accessories not included) rings in at $98.00 total! Stock up on these unique basics today—I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Mink Pink Mummified Skirt – $59.00

Mink Pink Burnin’ Up Tank - $39.00

Black Minis

Black mini skirts are my must-have-five-of item—my version of the little black dress, if you will. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a little black dress, it’s a staple, but for me a black mini skirt offers so many more options and outfit opportunities. I think I was low-balling it when I said I (and everyone) only needed five, it’s my favorite basic behind a white tee!

Here’s just a sampling of a few different ways to wear a little black mini—come in today and we can show you even more!

Dolce Vita Jezabel Clogs

As you can see from this feature on WhoWhatWear.com, clogs are destined to be this summer & fall’s must-have shoe so we’re so excited to get in this DV by Dolce Vita Jezabel Clog! Similar in style to this spring’s Dolce Vita Manny, Jezabel features an even thicker wood platform and gold studs along the sides.

One of our favorite shoes around the store right now, mainly for it’s supreme comfort, the Jezabel is a great update for all of this summer’s dresses and ahem, the J Brand Houlihan cargo pants. The main thing to remember when you’re pairing clogs with an outfit is that you really want to let the shoe do the talking. Opt for ankle-length pants or cuffed pants or anything short. Dresses look amazing with them and the color is incredibly versatile! Just make sure to avoid longer bell-shaped pants or wide legs and the shoes won’t feel/look like they’re overwhelming your outfit.

DV by Dolce Vita Jezabel Clogs - $89.00

The J Brand Houlihan Cargo is Here!

 

We’re OBSESSED with the J Brand Houlihan cargos! Actually, I’m not sure if obsessed even covers it. We’ve been drooling over these since we saw them at market in February, even more after we’ve seen them on every celebrity in every magazine and they’ve finally arrived!

The must-have pant for summer and this fall, the Houlihan brings us back to the days of MASH when character Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan made being in the army look sexy.

Made of an imported lightweight Japanese Twill, we love how versatile they are—wear them with flats, pumps or heels and run around town or take them out on the town. You really can’t go wrong! Hitting right at the ankle, they are perfect for those of us who are normally hemming our pants and jeans and they feature a 12” zipper at each ankle, which can be worn open (see Rachel Bilson above) or zipped (see everyone else.)

J Brand Houlihan Cargos - $231.00

We bid you a farewell Jonesy…

We were heartbroken last week to find out that Jonesy will soon be no more. Something went horribly wrong when the fashion gods deemed it unworthy of sticking around (ahem, affliction and ed hardy are still kicking—take them instead!) We are trying to see what they might have in stock for us before it’s gone for good! The good news is that the company who produced Jonesy has presented us with the opportunity for a private label line that we may be debuting in the fall, but we’ll keep you posted!! 

In our latest (and possibly last) shipment, we got in a great striped trapeze tank with seaming around the top & back to keep it fitted and longer side “tails.” We love it paired with the black version of the Juicy Couture Cropped Denim Leggings (previously featured in white) for a not-so-nautical day look. Paired with Manny & this leather & mirror necklace, it goes effortlessly out at night.

 

Jonesy Subtle Stripe Trapeze Tank - $89.00

Juicy Couture Cropped Denim Leggings – $128.00

Dolce Vita Manny Slingbacks - $120.00 on sale

MM Couture Floral Skirt

I’m pretty sure this outfit wraps us what we’re loving about this season’s styles in one fail swoop—bright, comfortable patterns and textures we can pair together over and over. We love this bright floral skirt paired with our simple B by Rebecca Beeson Pocket Tank & Jersey Cardigan. The sides of this silk floral skirt feature lightly ruched panels and a fitted cut to exaggerate the pencil cut of the skirt without adding weight to your hips.

Keeping It Casual with Free People

A lightweight, lace trimmed tunic from Free People featuring a unique lace design, antiqued brass buttons and tabbed sleeves. Comfortable and easy, we want this just to have it for those days when we don’t want anything fitted. Light enough for now but wearable through fall, pair this with a blazer or other jacket for a more structured romantic look.
