With the second season of “Mad Men” premiering this week, all I can think about is that early '60s style: blouses, skirts, and the necessary pump. And with shopbop, I’ve found updated versions of that ultra-feminine silhouette. The smocked blouse from Tucker pairs a smart print with lightweight silk, and Robert Rodriguez’s pintuck blouse dresses up with sheer chiffon. Anna Sui’s checked blouse is a little more avant-garde, but still keeps a uniquely classic shape. Tweed is showing up for fall and Rebecca Taylor’s skirt keeps it cute with a flounce hem. Vince’s Dirndl Skirt is understated and pretty. I’m a sucker for peep toe pumps, so Kate Spade’s Georgia pump and Marc by Marc’s open toe pump are instant favorites. Now all I need to find is a fedora-sporting ad exec.

Exclusively Ours
We love an It item as much as the next girl, but the thing that really makes our fashionable hearts go pitter-patter? A brilliantly unique find. That's why we get a little giddy every time a new shopbop exclusive shows up on the site. Take, for example, C&C's Jersey & Lace Dress in a slinky-soft fabric that's gorgeous in every way (and exclusively ours). In denim, there's an exclusive high-rise skinny by J Brand, and to match, a Tucker cami in a seriously chic (and exclusive) print. If accessories are more your thing, we've got a clutch by Jack Rabbit Collection or a scarf by A Peace Treaty, both exclusively ours.Discover the beauty of exclusive fashion today, only at shopbop.

Fit to Print
Cut, fit, and style are at the essence of every well-designed piece. And while the Little Black Dress and the khaki trench have found signature colors, some other styles inspire exciting color palettes and prints. We have three brands that work wonders with geometrics, paisleys, and florals.
Milly’s beachy sensibility and bright colors make it an obvious choice for summer wear. Tops and dresses, bikinis, shorts, and totes, Milly’s insouciantly busy shapes and saturated colors make for a luxe foray into printed territory.
A shopbop staple, T-Bags’ soft jersey fabric and flattering fit only serve to underscore the ingenuity of the prints. Sometimes small and understated, sometimes large and statement-making, T-Bags prints always showcase inventive palettes and unique patterns.
With basic, ultra-flattering shapes and lightweight, luxe fabrics, Tucker has an understated canvas for its muted bursts of color. Abstract florals abound, and implied animal prints and hasty stripes make an impressive appearance.
Find all these inspired prints, and your own muse, at shopbop.
