Delicate Details

Summer Trends

Today’s Sale Spotlight highlights a popular trend of the season: Delicate Details. Even before Catherine Middleton’s infamous lace wedding gown, this openwork fabric was spotted all over the SS11 runways. In the past we have seen an overwhelming amount of menswear inspired silhouettes – the boyfriend blazer, boyfriend jeans, etc. It’s about time that we went back to our female roots and started dressing like a lady. From lace and ruffles to eyelet and embroidery, add some delicate details for a fresh and feminine summer look. Below are three styles I’m loving right now. What are your thoughts – do you prefer menswear inspired pieces or are you glad to say goodbye to your oversized silhouettes?

Hot Spring Trend: Denim

And we’re not talking jeans…

A few weeks ago, a friend came to me for some fashion advice (nothing out of the ordinary). She said that her friend from London told her that jean jackets were exploding and asked if it was the same way in the US. Not recalling an overwhelming revival of denim other than in it’s natural form, I responded, “Not that I am aware of.” Well, it was as if someone smacked me in the face when I walked into Bergdorfs in NYC last weekend and every designer had their signature piece in denim. From PRADA handbags to an Akris suit to Christian Louboutin pumps (!!!) to a Burberry trench, every line that we love is featuring their “IT” item in this trendy textile. I mean M.A.C. even made it into a makeup (called Jeanius – how cute), so I should have seen this coming. So ladies, dig out those jean jackets and splurge on one piece that you never expected to see in denim. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself and it will look a hell of a lot better than it did in the 80s! Below is my must-have of the moment: the Current/Elliott Circle Vest. Happy Friday!
