Dainty & delicate!
This Rebacca Taylor top is adorned with delightful beading & rhinestone detail at the scoop neckline & bust. Also, elbow-length dolman sleeves give great coverage to slightly flabby upper arms :)
Slip this on, & you'll seriously instantly feel like hostessing a fun gathering of close pals & family!
Or, partner it with shorts & heels (like the model) for a stylish day about town.

New from CATHERINE MALANDRINO & HELMUT LANG

Stop everything, & run over quick to check out these NEW stunners!

• Catherine Malandrino Zip-Trim Ruffled Dress (top).
High style elegance meets edgy downtown in this dress with a striking zipper-trimmed ruffled detail across & down the front. "Wow," is all we can say. This is THE kind of dress to make an entrance in!

• Helmut Lang Silk Romper (bottom).
With a perfect V-neckline that slims your face & torso, this short jumpsuit is one part sophistication, one part playful, & all parts brilliant! Whether day or night, all you need to add on is a pair of sexy pumps & you're all set!

* Also instore: Helmut Lang drop-crotch harem pants. (Another key trouser trend that was revived when big-name designers rumouredly took inspiration from an outfit worn by French Vogue uber-editor Carine Roitfeld.)

New from UNITED NUDE

Co-founded by a Dutch architect Rem D. Koolhaas (nephew of the Pritzker Prizer laureate architect of the same name) & Englishman Galahad JD Clark (a seventh generation of the Clark's shoe-making dynasty), United Nude shoe designs are usually inspired by an architectural idea or a design object, like a chair, so that every shoe has its own story.

• A reinterpretation of the iconic 'Barcelona' chair created by Bauhaus architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe & collaborator Lily Reich in 1929, the 'Mobius' was the first shoe created by United Nude. A heart-broken Koolhaas apparently designed the 'Mobius' to try to win a girl back. The girl left all the same, but Koolhaas & Clark then realised they were sitting on a surefire hit. The 'Mobius' is characterised by a single strip that forms the sole, heel, foot-bed & upper of the shoe. ...Reminds us of the lucky number '8', which goes around & around & symbolises never-ending happiness!

• Ray & Charles Eames' famous aluminium office chair inspired the United Nude 'Eamz' series, featuring pumps & sandals, even a 'tech' sandal (see lower right of pic), that integrate the chair foot into the heel of the shoe, a feature that seems to suspend it in mid-air.

No matter what the shoes are named, United Nude's design credibility & typical sculptural shapes have made it popular especially with design-conscious shoe-lovers. Try it on soon for a look & bounce that will put a spring in your step even on those awful hard-to-rise mornings.

ALICE + OLIVIA "Cheryl" Top

The Alice + Olivia "Cheryl" blouse -- in a subtly shimmering salmon/peach shade -- is perfectly sweetened with a bow & band of matching gleaming satin charmeuse. Also, didja know that the adjustable neckline can actually be worn on- or off-shoulder?
Completely flattering with a slight empire waist -- we love it dressed up or down.

Dresses... MANOUSH + ZADIG et VOLTAIRE

Summer is the season of the dress & we're here to help you find the piece that will work hard for you all season long -- whatever the occasion!
From Bohemian-inspired frocks that will carry you from beach to a dinner date, to the essential slinky dresses that will see you through countless Summer parties & weddings, we've got all the trends covered. See two of our favourites from French designers this week:-

1. Manoush, which means 'gypsy' in French slang, has proved more than a flash-in-the-pan leftover from the boho craze of the last couple of years. Founder-designer Frederique Trou-Roy's creations -- like this cute & fun silk rainbow dress -- are filled with kooky, folkrolic details, making them a hearty rendering of the inspirations gathered from her frequent travels to North Africa.

2. Stylish French girls swear by Zadig & Voltaire & we urge you to experience the wonders of the sexy strass-embellished Ruban Deluxe Dress.

ROBERT RODRIGUEZ One-Shoulder Top

They say one-shoulder is better than two this season. (Well, maybe not better, but different, & that's a good thing!) This gorgeous one-shoulder top, which plays on NYC designer Robert Rodriguez's love of old-Hollywood glamour while giving a nod to classic tailoring techniques, also features bold tiered ruffle detail. The look is totally seductive, without being one bit slutty.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM Jumpsuit & Romper

An "it" trend since late last year, the jumpsuit/pantsuit/romper popped back up on so many different Spring Summer runways, it's hard to keep track of all of their appearances. You would've spotted a wide range of celebrities wearing assorted jumpsuit styles as well. Yes, jumpsuits are literally on fire this season & a fun throwback to the 70s. So why not jumpstart your day in these instant-chic 3.1 Phillip Lim designs? Depending on how you style them, these all-in-ones can look downtown cool & glamourous in equal measure, & be very comfortable too. Plus, they really are the best ultimate "lazy" wardrobe solution -- a top & trousers/shorts in one.
* We're stocking jumpsuits by other designers as well, come find the right pieces for your Summer wardrobe.

REBECCA TAYLOR Bohemian Dress

We wish all our dreams were as sweet as this little bohemian dress by Rebecca Taylor!
Just the thing for a mid-Summer day/night out.
(BTW all the Rebecca Taylor stores have a giant poster of this dress displayed in their show-windows now.)
* Restocked in very limited quantities on account of exceeding loveliness & popular requests.

VANESSA BRUNO Sleeveless Gathered Dress

At first glance, Vanessa Bruno's clothes may seem a bit plain, but true fans know better. The simplicity of Bruno's designs are always offset by a combination of chic Parisian flair & refreshing atypical cuts. Take this lovely sleeveless gathered dress, for instance. The sweet ice-cream colour lightens the unusual cut & will show off your Summer-bronzed arms nicely. And because this piece is all about the details (ribbon on the neck, pretty fin-like pleated panels), understated accessories are all you need to pair it with. Wear in the day with simple flats, then slinky heels for the evening.
* A couple other sassy lil' dresses by Vanessa Bruno also available... Come see!
