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!

Its Wedding Season!

May 30th, 2009

By Eva Roberts

Ok, so since we are all fabulous women with loads of friends, it is inevitable that we will be invited to at least ONE wedding this summer… Or Five….. What’s a girl to do? There are so many options, & time of day, setting, and level of formality are all factors. Check out our suggestions.

Morning/Early afternoon/Outdoor wedding- Go for something, light, breezy, floral. A sundress with a matching cardigan is ideal. A lightweight linen pashmina wrap is also a great topper. Ideas below:

 

Evening wedding- any of the following options, or variations of, would be perfection. Pearls are a classic touch to ANY dress, as shown here. A bright pashmina lightens up a simple black dress.

 

Options for both day or night: Depending on how you accessorize, these could be worn at any hour. Wearing pants in a luxurious fabric such as satin or silk is perfectly acceptable, as long as you pair them with a fancy top as shown below.

When it comes to handbags at weddings, small and chic is the way to go, just big enough to carry a camera, compact, and your keys. The straw bag is fab for day, and the quilted metallic silver is a great option for day or night.

 

So once you have this covered, breath easy, enjoy the champagne, and have a blast… Cheers!
