Ready Made Outfit: Ski Bunny

We’re in a Tahoe State of Mind, and we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to be an Olympian in the slalom event to emanate the panache and sleek sophistication of a ski bunny. (As a matter of fact, this outfit would be less than practical to actually ski in…but you knew that!)

 Ski Bunny = Wrap Glasses + Sleek Zip-up + Warm Pants

Anthropologie Ensembles

Anthropologie Ensemble: Pop ArtJust wanted to point out something cool that Anthropologie recently started doing: merchandising their clothes not only by item, but by outfit!

Under an "Ensembles" category, They’ve put together eighteen outfits in total, nine categorized under "High Art" and the other nine listed under "Contemporary Art.

We think it’s a cool idea at it’s core.  We’re very pro-ensembles, especially since we try not to buy garments without knowing they’ll work with at least three different outfit combos.  It’s this spirit that’s behind our Ready Made Outfits: Women | Men). 

 What do you think about Anthropologie’s ensemble feature?  What do you like?  What could they have done better?

Trendscape: Polka Dots

We just love polka dots. Why? Because they span all seasons and occasions. Polka dot prints are perfect for a summer barbecue, a holiday cocktail party or just another day in the office.  They can be serious or whimsical. Best of all, this classic look will never go out of style.

Feeling conspicuous? Try smaller dots (such as the ones on this Kate Spade), or Swiss dots, like the ones on our dress below.

 Luisa Beccaria Red Polka Dot Cardigan | $382 at Yoox

 

Rebecca Taylor Swiss Dot Cotton Voile Dress | $121.49 at Bluefly

 

 Moschino Cheap and Chic Polka Dot Slide | $375 at Neiman Marcus

 

 Larabee Noel Ariane Purse | $125 at Kate Spade

  Luisa Beccaria Off the Shoulder Silk Polka Dot Top | $415 at Yoox
