We played around with more outfits last week.  One of my favorite items this spring (aside from every piece of Rachel Comey!) is the classic shirtdress.

I remember when the shirtdress popped up on my radar.  It was this image from a few years back of Giovanna Battaglia that turned me into both a Giovanna fan and a big fan of the shirtdress.  I just loved the way the great Giovanna layered her shirtdress under a crewneck sweater.  For a dress, you really can’t find an easier shape and the hemline makes it so pretty & flirty.  Needless to say, I have been on the hunt since then!

I honestly could not of been more thrilled when Rogan created his version for S10…

The hunt is finally over!

I wish you all could feel this dress...super soft cotton voile and also LINED with super soft cotton voile! Just a dream!

Check it out at The Shop!

For the last few days I have been in Northern Wisconsin sans internet, phone, email, text….just some good family fun  So needless to say, I couldn’t wait to lay my eyes on some fashion!  First day back and nothing could make me happier than a great new fashion blog and a good dose of inspiration.  Check out this FANTASTIC blog Brandon happened upon and a new favorite of mine….EXTRASKINNY.com

I love a woman that understands the power of some solid basics and rocking out those favorite pieces in more ways than one…. great ideas here.

Have you SEEN the fashion in Helsinki?  Yes or no, grab your favorite libation(s) and flip through here, Hel Looks.…loootts of fun.

It’s no secret to those who know me, I’m all about menswear.  I love a good tux for evening and my Steven Alan shirts & skinny’s during the day.  At this stage in my life, I know what looks good on me and I know what I love….THANK gawd, otherwise things could get UGGleee..

We love a great jumpsuit and I’ve fallen hard for the romper trend this spring.  It’s everything I LOVE LOVE LOVE in my busy lifestyle…easy and chic all in one little effortless piece.

I was planning to post this blog on Friday, but I was completely captivated for DAYS!   Favorites from over the weekend….

MY HERO, JANE

This young star rising is just a mere 16 yrs old!  I will be the first to say it is much easier and a whole lot of FUN when you have not one, but TWO closets (thanks mom!) of fabulousness to style from.  BUT I also know that this level of sophistication is either honed through many years of experience or it’s just plain in your blood!  Thanks to mom & dad, this lucky Jane can save YEARS out in the retail/fashion world.  The parents…..

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Jane’s mom, Judy, and her take on fashion.  Mom and daughter also pair up to share their tips to scouting vintage (Oct 24, 08 post)
