It’s amazing how one person sees a mess and another sees a work of art. That adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is totally true.

Marker stains normally annoy people, but this totally awesome designer saw potential. Just make your design with the bleeding markers, then wash and create something new. Fantastic.

6-23 coastline dress.jpg

Total hippie earth mother vibe, like most of Free People’s stuff. I really like the crochet detailing on this dress, which can look kinda homespun in the bad way.

$128. Sizes 0-12.

I love the simple pleating in all the right spots on this dress. It’s perfectly light for warmer days and would look great under a cozy sweater.

It’s kind of a mix between Grecian and vintage.

Jade, black and grape. sizes small to extra-large. $60 from $88.

watercolor dress
11. April 2008


4-7 watercolor dress

Art-inspired dresses are all the rage this year. They can be pretty crazy with pop-art origins, but my favorites are the watercolor ones.

This dress by Twelve by Twelve is a great buy if you want in on this trend. Cinch it with a skinny gold belt or just wear it on it’s own. It is a work of art, after all.

$49. Cream/brown color only.

picnic dress
09. April 2008


checkered dress

Here is what I imagine: A picnic. A pretty blanket on green, green grass in an idyllic ’50s city. Mary Jane skips up to her beau, Bobby. She giggles. They eat cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

Maybe that’s not possible, but you can still wear the dress?

Limited edition by Sarah Luna.

collection: beau soleil spring ‘08
02. April 2008


sun tunic

I thought I’d highlight a couple of pieces of Beau Soleil’s spring line. Beau Soleil is one of many eco-friendly clothing companies, and I love the feel of their clothing. It’s very eco-chic.

The spring collection has a lot of the brass you see on the keyhold on this first dress. I like the look.

The Sun dress, to your left, is simple, but a totally workable look. You can wear it as a tunic or a dress. I like the keyhole at the bottom, which adds a little spice, without weighing anything down.
I think this would be great belted over some slim jeans, but use a skinny belt, a big one might overwhelm this pieces.

It looks sheer, but it’s not, the fabric is doubled to make sure you’re all covered.

In perla ( a heather grey color) midnight (navy) or noir (black). Sizes petite to large. $250

beau soleil wrap

The beau wrap is a little more reminiscent of their fall line. It’s loose and fiercely sexy.

The shoulders are gathered, although you can’t really see it here, and the wide scoop neck allows just enough skin to be shown. That’s totally the difference between sexy and trashy, in my opinion.

The dress comes with this super long recycled leather belt for you to tie whichever way you please.

Oh, and did I mention pockets? You know how I love pockets.  I hope dresses have pockets forever. They’re so cute and useful.

In black only. Sizes petite to large, $265.
