Style Picks

Cottage Trimmings Skirt

I really have a thing for 40s-style skirts with unique detailing. Great with a crisp white button-up shirt and a coffee in your hand as you ride the elevator in the morning. The best part is that it's (shockingly) only $15, made and modelled by the fabulous Quinn, a 19-year-old who runs a mean sewing machine.

Get it at Queen Clothing.

Peasant Dress

For all those who have looked for a way to incorporate a little Middle Ages into their lives, there's this dress in a striking aegean blue. But its higher-than-floor-length hemline means you can wear this to a Renaissance fair or out for dinner - your choice. (I might pick the Renaissance fair).

Branches Necklace

This necklace looks like something you'd wear with a bonnet and petticoat (I can't help thinking about Laura Ingalls...or maybe Mr. Darcy...when I look at it). A definite conversation piece, and there's lots more original, antique-inspired jewelry to be found at Lilia, as well as pieces that lean towards the contemporary (in shell, coral, etc.).

Get it at Lilia Jewelry.

Floral Halter by A Common Thread

Introducing the latest chapter in our continuing bias towards hot shirts: a beauty of a halter by A Common Thread. It accentuates the waist nicely, the colors are beautiful, and really, it's the perfect top for a little Saturday afternoon shopping.
