I am going away at the end of next month. After looking at last year’s vacation clothes it is obvious I need an update. If you could suggest some key pieces for vacation and the coming seasons, what would they be? Kathy R., Kennebunkport, ME
A: This is the situation many of us find ourselves in. A great pair of shorts in a neutral color would be ideal. We love a fitted Bermuda (we’ll have some in-store soon from Sanctuary, Vince, Alice + Olivia to name a few). This silhouette allows for you to create casual and dressier outfits; tops and shoes will change up the look here. A great above-the-knee skirt, and a light-weight cardi will give you options when you add in a couple of printed tops. Opt for a jersey dress, as you will love the ease of just throwing it on. Beyond that, pick up fresh colorful tees and a fabulous new bathing suit! This should round out your vacay look and give you a great starting point for spring. Happy travels!

G1- your “go to” bottom for summer.

June 9th, 2009

By Helene Michalski

It’s finally here, summer that is.  For those of us who live in New England this long awaited season brings a sense of pure joy, not to mention relief.  It’s a time we once and for all put away our layering pieces (at least for a couple of months) and just let loose.  Dare I say we may even put away those beloved jeans that have become a staple in our daily wardrobe…?  Its summer and we feel free, weightless, euphoric and just plain giddy.  Can you relate?

With that said,  it’s time to pull out those G1’s and if you don’t own any, rush directly to Helene M, and pick up a pair of what we like to call our “Go to” bottom  for summer.  Why G1?  Put on a pair and you’ll see what we mean.  It’s all in the fabric.  This amazing alternative to denim is so soft that you may even consider wearing them as pajamas.  And the fit, well, flattering is an understatement!  The silhouettes are simple but make you instantly feel like you’re at a cocktail party in Nantucket or maybe even sailing with Jackie O off the cost of Cape Cod.   Relax, sit back and enjoy these short, but oh so sweet, summer months…
