Feeling the Breeze.

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Today is perfect. 80 degrees and sunny with the perfect breeze.
Tomorrow – Not looking so perfect.

As I previously mentioned I do not do well with in between weather. Since we live in Wisconsin I know I should be used to the yo-yo that is our climate, but it’s the in between that always gets me. Today I am doing great in my BB Dakota Feathered Tank, BB Dakota Mini and Pour la Victoire Wedges. My ABS denim jacket – for when the breeze picks up – but tomorrow is the question. When the weather turns south again, I am going to need something a little warmer than today’s ensemble.

Maybe it’s my constant frustration with this aspect, but as I looked around the store today I realized we have plenty of options to assist through this transition into summer. I am loving the new LINE cardigans we just got in. They are the perfect weight to make sure you aren’t to hot or too cold! The Brooklyn Infinity Knit (on the left) is amazing. The cross front section is one big loop that you can wear any way you want. It’s such a unique piece - definitely worth it! Another option is the gorgeous Madison Cardigan. Featuring the most beautiful shoulder cutouts, it’s definitely a great piece over a floral dress, or back to your basic jeans.

Just in is the rest of Nicole Richie’s Winter Kate pieces for Spring. The Eden Jacket is perfect for making a Spring Statement. I am actually thinking of pairing it over my dress for a friend’s wedding I am attending this weekend. The Ginger Cardigan may be completely sheer, but it still adds a punch of color to any outfit and can keep those shoulders covered when it’s windy.

If you need a little more warmth, check out Left on Houston. Known for their great knits, this line is perfect for all of us that love comfort. I live in everything I own from Left on Houston. Their Spring Raven Cardigan ( on left) is so cozy, but one of my personal favorites is the Misfit top. The peekaboo details are super sexy and yet your are wearing a sweater so you a super comfortable at the same time.

The End of Summer?

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

It was here at one point – I think . . .Summer that is. It’s not that we here in Milwaukee can actually say we had a good Summer this year – I mean, sure it was nice, we had some nice days – but for me, I demand more of Summer. It’s my favorite season - easy cotton dresses, floor-length maxis, comfy decorated flat sandals, paper-thin relaxed fit tops, cute distressed denim shorts – what’s not to love? So when it comes to Summer, I demand the opportunity to wear these said pieces for at least three months and this Summer left me wanting more. So as not to pay Summer the attention it does not deserve I am moving right forward to Fall.

Probably my second favorite season, Fall never seems to let me down. The extra thick magazine issues with hundreds of pages of the latest and greatest, the ability to sport my most beloved trench coat (obviously not warm enough for Milwaukee winters), and the excitement that comes with turning over my wardrobe. (I know, I know, they say you should only have one and make it work year round, but I live in Milwaukee and therefore, I need more than those lucky individuals in warmer climates (P.S. Kathy, that “lucky” was dripping with sarcasm, just for you.))

This Fall I am especially impressed. It’s one of those seasons that is repeating trends – and right now, I don’t think that is such a bad thing. Plaids, Distressed Denim, One Shoulder Silhouettes, Military-Inspired Pieces – all are revived for this season. So if you didn’t do it last year, you still can. Some of the new additions – Over the Knee Boots, (seriously it will not be possible for me to make it through Fall without a pair), Fur Vests, Zipper Details and Studded Everything – Jackets, Bags, Jewelry. It’s all in the details this Fall and that deserves some attention.

Another reason I am looking forward to the next couple months – new deliveries! It was just after Christmas that I began placing Fall orders and over time you can tend to forget everything you bought – with the exception of Left on Houston. I remember every detail of each piece ordered and have been anticipating this arrival for months. Here’s a little preview of what’s on the way.
