VINTAGE VIXEN: Only in July...

by Tess

Vintage Anchor Crop Top

This sweet summer top falls in that special category of things you can really only pull off in July (well maybe August too...). Love the combination of plaid/nautical/red, white and blue, and a little tie. So so cute!!

Seaside Sails

By Jax

Can you feel that seabreeze?  Who's going to the ocean this summer????  Growing up on an island (yes, Long Island makes me an island person!), I love the sea and all nautical fashion.  This halter squarely fits into the category.  Wear it to collect seashells, or for a seaside dinner.

GUYS BUYS: Marco, POLO

By Jax

I think there is a lot of room to stretch and grow in the world of colorful men's polo shirts.  Why so many men just wear plain colors is beyond me!  These striped polos are stylish and vibrant, but still classic and traditional and won't raise any weird fashion eyebrows among ladies or gents.

On A Safari

By Jax

Eddie Bauer calls this a safari shirt.  Sure, it's perfect for a safari, but it's also a great white shirt at half price that is perfect for a ton of other things!

It's see through and light, so you can wear it with a camisole underneath, or for a sexier look, a bandeau!

Yay For Inexpensive Chambray

By Jax

I actually need a replacement blue chambray shirt!  I have worn mine into the ground...

I love the belt option, because you can wear it big and flowy, or use the belt to add definition!  It's casual and perfect for spring and fall alike!

Let's Get Casual

By Jax

With all this rain, it's getting harder and harder to dress up.  For this kind of weather, I turn to more casual fare that is still relevant and stylish.  Throw this top on with a pair of skinny jeans or jeggings and a cute pair of oxfords and you're good to go in rain or shine!

Back To Basics

By Jax

I will not go through the many wonderful things of the white tank top, of which you are undoubtedly already aware.

There are two style elements that make this particular white tank better than your average one.  First, the small pleats over the chest.  It will draw attention to your chest and make it look bigger!  Second, the crocheted back.  It's just pretty :)

Designer Silk

By Jax

I need some bright colors in my life!

In this neutral territory we've found ourselves in this season, I find that this color (light coral?) goes well with those nude shoes and browns you've invested in.

I love the loose-fitting nature of this shirt and the cuffed sleeves, which will automatically make your arm look a little bit skinnier than it is.  Also, this is a great price for designer silk anything!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Perfect Plaid Shirt

by Tess

1970s Paper Thin Rainbow Madras Plaid Camp Folded Cuff Blouse

This shirt is the perfect way to do plaid this spring/summer. The magenta, powder blue, purple, and marigold make for a unique and pretty color palate. The cut of the cuffed sleeves is very feminine- as is the gathering up at the top of the shoulder. I am imagining this with dark denim high waisted shorts... tucked in of course! Perfect for summer!

Pretty Girl In A Pretty Tank

By Jax

Clothing from Ruche fits a certain aesthetic, and I'm quite sure this tank captures that aesthetic perfectly.  It's clothes that probably work best while walking through a field of wildflowers, but you can also look great in them while doing your errands.

Be weary if you're not short waisted, as this is borderline crop-style!

Back To Business

By Jax

I think I posted this shirt in a different color...I love it just as much as the recently released navy!

Navy tops are my favorite base pair for a floral.  I gravitate to florals with navy in them because then I can wear a navy top (like this one) and the floral doesn't seem so overpowering.

Tees Me All Day Long

By Jax

Tunic tanks are very "in" for this summer, and this Alternative Apparel one is a nice breathable cotton, and a price that puts it in square competition with Forever 21.  A long tunic tank can be tucked in, or worn long with shorts or leggings.  It's just comfy and cute, and perfect for a nice hot summer.

Everyday Styling: A Night At The Theater!

By Jax

A night out at the theater in Manhattan used to be a very fancy event, but now it's a little more relaxed.  That doesn't mean I'm gonna look super stylish!

I am obsessed with this white blazer I bought, and I've been going out of my way to create outfits around it.  It's about time it made it to this blog :p

It's Always Winter In Your Office

 By Jax

No matter what season it is, dark work clothes can always be appropriate.  I think this is because most offices are insanely cold, so for some reason dark colors seem appropriate, even when it's 85 out!  While this blouse is squarely in the fall/winter category, it has a brightness that I think makes it appropriate for work.  So go ahead, brave your work AC in this top even though it's boiling hot outside!

You Can Bow Your Own Way

By Jax

Although I am totally obsessed with the front bow trend, I get that not everyone wants their bows over-sized, and centered.  Here we have a more relaxed, abstract bow shirt.  Although please PLEASE don't pair this shirt with army fatigues.  Yikes.

My favorite part?  Sleeves!  Just big enough to qualify for a sleeve without cutting in any weird places on your arm.
