May blog

I can’t believe it’s almost the end of another fabulous season.  Thank you for helping us have another wonderful year at Deborah James!  You can’t imagine how special I feel when I hear how much you love the collections of unique designers we’ve curated, the ambiance in our stores and the professionalism of our staff.  It’s nice to know all the hard work is recognized and appreciated.

As our seasonal clients are getting in for their last hurrah before heading to their other homes and our locals are making plans for the summer, fun and casual groups are in the stores waiting for you!  For those of you making your travel plans for the summer, definitely take a look at  this fabulous nylon traveler bag from Rick Owens.  Outfitted to fit over your luggage handle, lightweight and lots of compartments - it will be your go to bag for all of your travels.

As things are winding down, I even had a chance for some quality one on one time with a quick trip to Alabama to see my niece, Jenifer Rose, and enjoy a few rounds of golf. 

 There’s nothing like being with family! And speaking about family, we’re wishing all our DJ moms - and dog moms too- a Happy Mother’s Day. And welcome Sloane’s new addition, Archie James!

Now, on to your summer wardrobe!

Shorts - We had such a great reaction to our Frank & Eileen shorts, you’ll be happy to see our new options from Moussy

 and Amo.

 I know what you’re thinking - I’m too old for shorts, they’re too short, my legs aren’t great anymore - but both of these choices won’t give you any more excuses!  

Continue the stripe trend by pairing with Frank & Eileen’s oversize boxy Presley tee

or polish the look up a bit with a classic Finley linen sleeveless blouse.

Don’t forget a fun hat to complete your outfit

and protect your skin!

When it’s hot, I know how hard it is to even think about what to wear!  The less I have to put on my body the better!  

Frank & Eileen’s Southern linen playsuit is the perfect answer. Not too short, longer sleeve to cover your arms and a great neutral shade of Cement. 

Don’t miss a step wearing your 4 C’s sandals

 or I love my Officine Creative Pelagie lug sole sandals with just about everything!

If you love their Mary dress, your new favoirte can be Frank & Eileen’s Lauren polo collar stripe dress in their wonderful tee shirt fabric. Perfect for any fun, daytime activities when you just  want to be cute and comfortable!

Askk NY is one of my summer favorites. They are the pants I seem to always grab. Their Jam cotton pant with fun pocket detail is the foundation for a lot of those easy looks we want as those temperatures rise! 

 Whether you grab the fun shrunken stripe tee,

 a graphic tee

 or opt for their Virginia boxy plaid shirt, you’ll be ready to go.

White - as the temperatures rise, it’s the color of choice! Nili Lotan can always be counted on.  Whether you’d like a classic straight leg in the Lorimer

 or a full leg with the Marlene, it is a must for summer dressing.

How fresh is their Lydia stripe ruffle collar blouse with a crisp white jean?

 Another fun choice is Go Silk’s cotton Go Bubble blouse -  quite a step out of the box for them!

For the fans of Amo’s Frida wide leg jean, now you can have it in white too! 

Their tee shirts are a basic, so pick up the new rounded bottom stripe,

 or v neck tank to go with any of your summer skirts, pants or shorts!

I hope you all had a chance to come in for our End of Season Sale! If not, no worries - it’s not too late to come in and check out what you may have missed!

Wishing everyone a fun, safe summer!  Remember to share some pics of all the fabulous places your DJ wardrobe is taking you!
