...Amore: the Romance of a dress....

Romance has many forms, my favorite of which being a perfect dress. Such a dress might be simple or complex, but its aim is always to use drape, color and texture to make a woman look and feel beautiful.

Yes, today is valentine's day but remember.. love knows no calendar and cannot be constrained into any single day.. it must be celebrated whenever it enters our lives and delicately held onto in hopes that it will never leave. Everyday we take in air we are granted the opportunity to love. Don't let a single day dictate or measure the amount of love you have in your life. Love and romance are beautiful spontaneous forces- you cannot plan them,.. but you can put on a beautiful dress and be ready for them.. :)

Have a truly lovely day everyone!

...You Say Tomato, I Say Tomahto..

I always seem to reach for red when I'm not quite sure what to wear- something about wearing red always makes you look like you gave a tremendous amount of forethought to your outfit. This fall my favorite shade of red is tomato- a brighter medium red with slight orange tones.

I might be ~~completely~~ partially biased because red happens to be my favorite color but I find that having red on hand is as almost as useful as black. While black makes you look chic and slim, red makes you look bright and vivacious. And the best part is that red, specifically tomato red, is a perfect transition shade.

Sorry we haven't posted recently, between trips to New York, working on our fall collection, and preparing for our move to Philadelphia we have neglected our blog.

Thanks to all you lovelies for being so patient with us! :)

On a side note if any of you out there are in Philadelphia we'd love any tips, recommendations, suggestions.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Summer Florals

One of my favorite things about summer is lounging around the flowers while dressed like one...

I always love to pay attention to styling options for florals and often get inspiration from unexpected pairings like a denim shirt with a floral skirt or a retro inspired pencil skirt with a floral print tank.

What or who do you look at for styling inspiration?

..A White Lace Summer..

A bright white dress is already the ultimate compliment to sun-kissed skin, what to take the look to the height of chic? Add battenburg lace, lace overlays, cutouts and insets.... oh, and those three little words:

There is surely soon to be a bounty of white lace dresses available in stores- be sure that the one you choose has a defined waist seam so your figure will always remain intact and you will not look a size larger.

Also remember white that dresses love brown belts. If you prefer to wear a cardigan with your dress, yellow and pistachio keep the look cool and breezy, while thin black strappy shoes and a red cardigan will help you channel la dolce vita!
