Monday must-have: Kal Reiman's polka dot pants

May 21, 2012
Last week we stopped by designer Kal Rieman's pop up shop that's open in NYC this month, and we were immediately drawn to her eye catching polka dot pieces (the perfect complement to her pops of bright tomato red). We're all about fun pants this spring, so of course we're dying for a pair of these:

The silk pleat pants are both playful and elegant, with a look that is luxe yet relaxed at the same time. Not feeling bold enough for polka dots? They also come in more subdued yet still chic shades of red and cream.

New label to watch: Houghton

May 18, 2012
Taking a unique direction for Fall/Winter 2012, Houghton's first collection consists of a light palette of ivories, blushes and whites - a refreshing change from the typical racks of black, grey, and navy. Designed by established NYC stylist and former Badgley Mischka Couture design assistant Katharine Polk, the new luxury line will include long tailored coats, menswear-inspired suits, and hand-beaded statement gowns with a bit of edge. We can't wait to find these amazing silk cashmere and chiffon pieces in stores next fall.

Gina_May_Umbrellas.jpg
If there's one accessory you're allowed to be truly playful with at all times, it's your umbrella. After all - if you're going out in the rain, you might as well have some fun! These bright options from Australian line Gina & May are the perfect alternative to boring black rain gear, with eye catching graphic prints and color combinations. Founder Gina Pollock launched the line in 2009 with her mother as the solution to her troubles finding an umbrella that was both stylish and durable. Some of our favorites are already sold out, but you can still shop some fabulous umbrella styles online at ginaandmay.com, with prices ranging from about $35 to $65.

Wear a chic hat this spring

May 7, 2012
il_570xN.331498354.jpg
Maybe it was the Kentucky Derby, but we're putting a chic wide brimmed hat on our fashion to do list this season. We love the ladylike, retro vibe these hats bring, and of course they also provide the essential function of shielding your face from harmful UV rays. This 70s-inspired wavy style is ultra glamorous and perfect for pairing with a classy daytime dress or sleek wide legged pants. 

Straw Hat - $81.25 at EllaGajewskaHATS Etsy shop.

Indie must-have: neon + nude shorts by Laugh Cry Repeat

May 4, 2012
LAUG-WF4_V1.jpg
Nude and neon are a match made in fashion heaven - they contrast each other in a way that is just perfect. When we spotted these shorts by Laugh Cry Repeat (brought to you by the designers behind Anzevino & Florence) at Revolve, we immediately started planning all the ways we could wear them. A slouchy tee and chunky platform sandals by day (throw on a blazer if needed), and a silk tank with stiletto pumps by night. These are definitely a summer style must-have.

With&Wessel - clothes for any temperature

May 2, 2012
With_And_Wessell.jpg
New York-based line With&Wessel (pronounced "Vitt" and "Vessel") was originally established in Norway in 1903, and was recently re-launched by Catherine Wessel and her husband, Stian Tolnaes. Inspired by the Norwegian tradition of wearing layers of wool, they created an eco-friendly line of casual fashion basics based around the natural, biodegradable fabric. Wool easily adapts to different temperatures and climates and absorbs moisture from the body, keeping the wearer cool in the summer and warm in the winter - essential for this up-and-down weather we're having on the east coast right now! The collection is available at withandwessel.com.withandwessell_thumb.jpg

Give your office attire a bright pop of color

April 30, 2012
hmerr3000413098_p1_1-0_347x683.jpgIncorporating color at the office can be hard - this season's popular neons don't exactly scream professional! But wearing fun colors doesn't have to be reserved for the weekends - there are conservative but chic options that will satisfy your appetite for brights. We love this pleated silk chiffon skirt by Heidi Merrick. The orange-y "sunset" color is right on trend, and the length makes it perfect for the workday. We also love the small, fashion forward details like an exposed back zipper and patch hip pockets. 

Heidi Merrick Driving Skirt - $312 at Shopbop
