Liberty of London Printed Paige Jeans

Surprise, surprise, Paige has made yet another pair of amazing jeans.  We couldn’t be more excited about their use of Liberty of London prints on these and other pairs of their printed skinnies.  Hello, gorgeous!  If you aren’t familiar with Liberty of London, they are a textiles design company specializing in art fabrics founded in 1875 in London (obviously) which still produce many of their vintage prints.  We’ve put these printed skyline ankle peg jeans with a cool, oversized top from Press, our Matiko platform wedges and a new necklace from Ax & Apple.  Swoon!

Any day of the week.

Posted on May 6, 2012 by

Casual workwear doesn’t necessarily have to be unappealing or a chore.  Wear classic navy with grey and accent it with a few splashy pops of color.  Tillvaro Designs’ printed jersey skirt can go from office to weekend-wear with ease.  A trusty ADA belt gives this look structure and polish. We’re loving the new cement color with this and so many other things in the shop right now.  A pair of sunny yellow Frye flats and Seven Swans earrings will make getting dressed a pleasure any day of the week.

short-sleeved cardigan, Renee C. – $45
printed jersey skirt, Tillvaro Designs (formerly local) – $45
yellow Regina ballet flats, Frye – $117
pink bandeau, Nikibiki – $6

Tangerine, Tangerine

Posted on May 5, 2012 by

We simply can not get enough of this glorious tangerine hue!  It flatters so many complexions and even though it’s bright, it’s still very wearable for most women.  French Connection’s burnt tangerine halter dress is perfect for dressy summertime occasions. We love its low scooped back and midi length.  Our new wedge sandals from Matiko take this dress to new heights (literally) and simple gold jewelry gives it a nice clean finish. Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd, give bold a try.

burnt tangerine halter dress, French Connection – $248
pointed chevron gold earrings, by boe – $60
London platform wedge sandals, Matiko – $159
brass arrow ring, Chibi – $45
