Color Watch Spring/Summer 2010: Orange

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Commonly referrd to as “traffic cone orange”, or as we on the East Coast like to call it “buoy orange”, this color has collided with the Spring and Summer nudes, tonals and military shades to create a strong and fresh color approach.

Nanette Lepore is no stranger to color and prints.  Her new line “Oonagh” embraces the color orange this season and in the perfect soft shade, the Bryan dress   (shown above) has the perfect amount of Nanette details in the fringe and ruffled neckline.  Great back to the neutral shades and a little denim jacket, you will take this dress to every summer event weekend.

And, We love it paired with Joie’s updated Spring Bootie - The Elvis. A great rough- suede short boot in a beautiful shade of Elephant - soft grey/brown, this bootie will work with all the hot colors of the season.


Kain always gives us a pop of color and we fall for it everytime.  Their Spicey Orange V-neck Tee is the perfect complement to denim. Throw on a fun scarf  (which by the way is another perfect way to incorporate Orange) and some white skinnies from [Blank] denim and the summer is yours for the taking.

Shoshanna dresses always have a great fit, wonderful use of fabric and the color combinations are true to what wearing a girly girl dress is about.  The Tie Dye Chiffon dress  is wonderful in this strapless version. With a mix of other brights, you can wear the orange trend all summer long. 

And don’t miss out on the Shoshanna Swimwear collection with an abundant of Orange and other great colors.

More orange is sure to come and we promise, but summer’s end, you will want and need this refreshing pop of color in your closet.

Multiple Personalities: Sweet, Sexy & Sophisticated Styles

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009


We just can’t decide which personality we love more this season so we’ve decided to go with a Multiple Personality Wardrobe.  We are going for styles that are Sweet, Sexy & Sophisticated.  With some added accessories including headbands, bangles and long necklaces, we think we can accomplish a new state of mind every time we dress.

Sweet:  The floral trend is so wearable this Spring (FINALLY).  The bright colors mixed with muted tones and natural belts makes this personality a must for any summer afternoon wedding or party you have on your schedule.  Our summer floral selection is definitely inspiring.

Sexy: A Summer night out in the city can make getting dressed difficult, but luckily we can always rely on mini dresses for a sexy, yet totally wearable look.  We love the Current/Elliott Tulip dress in lightweight denim as well as this bratop style courtesy of Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent. 

Sophisticated:  There is something so wonderful about wearing a beautiful, sophisticated dress during the day in the summer.  Being able to show some leg with a shorter style or some shoulder with a halter neck version can make you inspired to show some tanned skin (faux or real tan- your choice). These sophisticated styles are perfect for that late afternoon cocktail party or wedding.

What is your personality. . . today?
