shop preview

It's nearly summertime, which means it's the time of year for extra-long days (here in western Michigan we have sunlight well until 9 pm in summer!), balmy nights, gatherings with friends and family, lazy days floating in the lake, and outdoor cocktails. You might need a party dress or two; you'll definitely need some pretty cotton day dresses, and prints of lush florals, sporty stripes, and picnic-y gingham prints certainly won't hurt!


There's something very Royal Family about this 1950s lace party dress, and it has the most interesting color scheme I've seen on a dress in some time: taupe or cocoa lace over a gold lining, with a moss green and plum satin sash. By Young Modes by Claudia Young.
