The anti-cocktail party dress



I love discovering new brands, but the problem with that is I'm also discovering way more beautiful clothes than is possible for me to purchase. When I first discovered april, may! in New York, I knew I'd have to keep my eye open for them. And I'm glad I did, otherwise I'd never have stumbled upon this sleeveless dress in dark navy silk. The interesting straps, the silk-smooth texture, the racerback tank top and elastic strap across the back--the style is ultra modern and trendy, with a little bit of sex appeal thrown in for good measure. This is what I'd wear to a pretentious cocktail party with an older crowd, because the dress--to me, at least--hints that you're effortlessly cool and don't really care what anybody there thinks. If only I could achieve that image with all my clothes, I'd really have the perfect wardrobe right there!

Designer Spotlight: April, May




While enjoying my extended fourth of July trip to New York City and rummaging through the racks at Century 21, I came across the brand April, May. Launched in 2005 by Diane Goldstein Sitbon, a former Paul & Joe designer, the brand is composed of fun, feminine separates accented with a unique twist. Some of my favorite looks from April, May's summer 2008 collection include a silver linen top paired with overalls (very menswear-inspired meets girly) and a navy tunic embellished with sequins worn over white tights.

Has anyone else ever heard of April, May?
