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!

A Piece for all Seasons…

By Eva Roberts

I think we can all agree that one of the greatest virtues a garment can have is its versatility. Here in New England, we need clothing for all kinds of climates. Therefore, owning pieces that can seamlessly glide from summer to autumn, or winter to spring are priceless. Check out the pictures below for some ideas that may spark your creativity when pulling together your transition wardrobe….

New Arrivals- Diane von Furstenberg

Diane von Furstenberg first arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her iconic wrap dress, the seed of what is today a full fashion house. By 1976, Diane had sold millions of her dresses, coming to symbolize female power and freedom to an entire generation. In 1997, after a hiatus from fashion, Diane reemerged on the New York fashion scene with the re-launch of the dress that had started it all and began transforming her company into the global luxury lifestyle brand it is today.

We adore her aesthetic, and normally have a long waiting list of customers to call when a shipment arrives. Come and check out the new pieces, and Happy 4th to our lovely customers!
