The Dress: Our Top 2 for the Holiday Weekend

Bell Seersucker Shirtdress

Bell Seersucker Shirtdress

4th of July….Always a time for fun styling options. Many of our customers have fun parties to attend along the river (our favorite!) to watch the fireworks; while others, will spend the weekend casually hanging out and possibly barbecuing and entertaining as well. Whatever your plans, a hot holiday weekend calls for a great easy and “patriotic” (to a degree) dress. I say to a degree because we definitely recommend a blue, white, OR red dress for the weekend as long as it isn’t too patriotic (i.e. with flags, stars, etc).  One of our favorites is the Bell seersucker ruffle shirtdress pictured above. It is light, comfortable, and the ultimate in summer chic. Wear it with a great wedge or neutral heel or even with a fabulous neutral or silver flat.  We have also seen this dress paired with a woven belt instead of the self belt, which gives the dress an additional alternate look. What screams summer style just as much as seersucker?!  NAVY STRIPES!!! Our next holiday weekend must-have dress is the Rag + Bone navy and white combo dress, pictured below.  We love combo dresses for their fun top and skirt appeal and this rag + bone option is easy to wear and we love the gray chambray skirted bottom. We would even pair it with a fun belt around the waist or a cropped jacket/cardi.  Whichever style is more you, these dresses are fantastic versatile dresses that for the holiday weekend are super summer holiday chic and oh so fun to wear.

Luxe Legs: Commando Tights

Today we received COMMANDO’s newest must-have product: tights!  They of course are super comfortable and lack that circulation-strangling effect that most tights have. These sit comfortably along the waist in COMMANDO’s signature fabric. Fishnet, knit ribbed, opaque, and sexy stripes are their signature styles for Fall 2010 and based on what has been shown editorially, on the runway, and on the streets, having a great selection of tights lending to various looks is one of the most important defining accessories for the season.

Helmut Lang Resort Sneak Peak

Helmut Lang Resort 2011 Sneak Preview

Okay I know this is a bit early, but I just loved this shirt when I saw Helmut Lang’s Resort Collection in their showroom this month and now one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Norwegian model Hanneli Mustaparta has blogged about it! She photographed it as one of  her favorites as well (see below).

This shirt is amazing as are all of the shirting in the Helmut Lang Collection. It has such a beachy feel to it – the fabric is slighty nubly and worn in. We are going to have to wait quite a few months before it arrives in store, but no worries I will be sure to reblog about how awesome it again!

A perfect pairing with her Elizabeth and James shorts, Cameron Diaz has styled our favorite blazer of all time: the Rag + Bone Seersucker Blazer over a tank, the shorts, and cute wedges. This is such an easy, chic, and attainable look for our favorite seersucker piece this summer!

Metal Mania: Pewter Peep Toe

What an amazing shoe! We love the edged up rock n’ roll appeal of this pewter python peep toe. The python is painted silver on a black background. I see this immediately with white jeans during the summer, black or charcoal denim/leggings as well, and of course this would be an amazing statement piece to any black dress. This shoe is super sexy – there is not much needed to say about it aside from the fact that I can’t stop looking at it! Love the built in platform, the edgy metallic texture, and the comfort!!!
