Start your summer with a warm weather edge. We love this adorable summer sundress from Diesel. The Duryn-L dress is made of 80% cotton and 20% flax. The criss cross detail and uneven hem have add a sweet twist to this dress which will become your summer staple.
Also adorable for warm weather chic is this grecian inspired dress with ruffle motif from Emporio Armani. Was $ 395, now on SALE for
$ 237. Made of 100% cotton muslin. This dress will look lovely with a pair of Miu Miu Metallic gladiator sandals
.
Pop singer Taylor Swift was spotted leaving the Musion offices in London today. Taylor looks adorable in ther oversized sweater and flouncy skirt. Boots, a long trinket necklace and studded leather bag pull together Taylor's city girl look with a touch of easy down home style.
Don't forget, this Sunday is Mother's Day. You still have some time left to find the perfect gift for your special Mom. We love the Links of London 'Sweeties' bracelets priced at an affordable $190-$345 and are a fun alternative to the traditional charm bracelet. Mom can add charms to personalize it with her own charms. Hence, more reason to treat mom to a gift now and then for special occasions - grandchildren, anniversaries, etc.
We are also loving the "Flutter & Wow" from Links of London. The earrings retail for $1,100 and Flutter & Wow silver garnet necklace for $950. A bit of a splurge, but Mom is worth it!

Mark your calendars for the Smith + Butler at Moscot "Pop-Up" Shop which opens this Friday. This noteworthy event is one example of ever growing "Heritagewear trend." Consumers are becoming fed up with "low prices, fleeting trends, and poor quality of the fast fashion boom have left some consumers in search of the exact opposite. A renewed interest in quality, comfort, and dependability has led many to the 'functional' brands of the past" according to TrendCentral.com.
What could be more classic and cutting edge than a finely tuned assortment of fashion and lifestyle products curated by Smith + Butler. The temporary store will feature select items of the best traditional brands including Belstaff, Filson, Red Wing, Levis, Pendleton, Pointer, Brand, Jack Spade, Barbour and other vintage American brands. In addition, the store will feature MOSCOT’s most coveted vintage-inspired eyewear collection, The MOSCOT Originals including several new styles for spring '09. MOSCOT is a New York Lower East Side institution featuring more than 1,000 frames from well-known eyewear and sunglass designers, as well the company’s very own branded line of vintage-inspired glasses, sunglasses, and the coveted MOSCOT Originals collection.
