Entries from June 2008
I am newly obsessed with TJ-Maxx, and far from embarrassed to admit it. Since they began incorporating designers such as Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, True Religion, Vince, Castle Starr, Tom Ford and Alice & Olivia, it is safe to say that I have fallen in love with this store. The clothing that I have found there is absolutely unbelievable. Stacey Bendet’s Alice & Olivia has become my favorite brand for dresses since last year. I love her ability to blend youth, class, originality, volume and color into all of her dresses along with her tops, pants and skirts. Last week at TJ’s, I purchased an originally priced at $ 400 Alice & Olivia cardigan for $150 and although that is still pricey, and it is summer, it’s completely justifiable. This cardigan will last me for years, and it is perfect to wear over a little summer dress in an air-conditioned restaurant, or a chilly night walk along the beach.

I love this James Perse dress. It just goes to show how beautiful monochromatic apparel can be. The cute simplicity of this dress makes it perfect to wear with anything. Throw on a light summer scarf, maybe pile on some gold bangles or a turquoise necklace. Dress it up, dress it down; either way it’s an essential piece to add to your closet. And the best part, it’s basic enough to mix into your fall wardrobe as well…

Well not trying to at least…..but we’ve been soaking up the sun’s rays and thus, not near the computer. But as we enter air conditioned rooms this summer we will be sure to post our new fashion favorites. I will leave you with my favorite bathing suit…..props to any girl that can pull of the one-piece.
