July blog

I know what you’re thinking, how can it possibly get any warmer? All we can do is try to keep cool, dress comfortably and hydrate! Hopefully some of you are escaping to some beautiful, cooler climates!  If you do, send us some pics so we can live vicariously through you.

As I’m writing this, Sloane and I are just landing in Paris - to be greeted by record breaking temperatures!  I always love the excitement of the shows in Paris and finding all the wonderful looks and new designers we’ll be featuring  in the stores.

We even had a chance to go to Antwerp for an exhibit highlighting the inaugural years of one of our designers - Ann Demeulemeester- along with five of her peers from the 80’s and 90’s!

If you came into the stores and we had sold out of the fun, graphic tees - no need to panic!  We have some new designs in from Retro Brand, so no matter if you want to be in the California state of mind, hit the music scene or catch those beach vibes - there’s something for you!

Linen rules this time of year!  LLea Blue’s narrow, drawstring  Hampton pant is your pant of choice.

Perfect with a Revel tee or tank, graphic tee or just throw on over your bathing suit.  So cute rolled up with a Tkee’s sandal!

For a more versatile choice, go with Frank & Eileen’s linen Limerick pant with wrap pockets and a wider leg.

I am so proud of my daughter, Sloane, who has created Revel.  She’s always in the store and we’re planning an event so you’ll have a chance to meet her!  Created and produced in California, if you haven’t discovered this tee shirt and french terry line yet, you’re sure to become a fan!  Any of the tee’s are a perfect option with this pant - and you’re sure to find your favorite style.

Change the top out for this new Brochu Walker ruched sleeve cotton blouse. The tape plackett detail is an unexpected touch!  

Barrel leg plants still rule!  For the fans of Nili Lotan’s Shon pant who would like another option or those who think it’s a “bit to much”, we have another option for you!  Askk NY’s twisted Barrel leg jean gives a touch of the same vibe, but not so extreme! 

 Whether you throw on a simple tee or this cute v neck Amo boxy tank, it’s an easy look!

I love this new offering from Moussy! Nice and long with a bit of a flare and interesting inset.

 A perfect option to wear with Go Silk’s cotton camp shirt - your choice, white or ink. Known for their silks, we’ve had a great reaction to this new cotton option! 

If a basic is more your style, opt for their new straight, low rise jean instead.  

Stripes are still going strong and Askk NY is all in.  We just got the reorder in of this fabulous wide stripe sailor pant- so fresh and crisp for this time of year! 

 Of course, a simple white tee or sweater is an easy choice but this Transit jacket paired with a Revel rib tank is your answer for that Saturday night outing.

I always love having a long sleeve piece with me to throw on when I run into anyplace that’s blasting their AC. This lightweight stripe chambray from Askk NY is a fun option.  A great neutral to grab with any of your white, beige or denim outfits this summer.

I love easy, breezy dresses for the summer and in shades of beige, I immediately feel cooler!  Brochu Walker’s tiered Havana dress in this crisp cotton is the perfect answer from a hot summer’s day.

Pedro Garcia’s midi heel with wood link detail in this new color of old gold is the perfect choice.

If you like the option of a longer sleeve, TWP’s ¾ sleeve Poet’s dress in this beautiful shade of Ginger is another option.

For summer, less is more- just complete your look with some fun jewelry from Paris designer Gas Bijoux.

I hope everyone has some fun plans to celebrate our countries special 4th of July!

Enjoy and be safe…..
