Nightcap Clothing VIDEO: Meet Designer Carisa Brambles
After working for independent showrooms and contemporary lines, designer Carisa Brambles decided to venture out on her own, and Nightcap Clothing was born. "I think the sexiest thing is to take something in your closet that you would normally wear just around the house and dress it up so it can be worn out," says Carisa, and she applies that notion to her line, designed to be worn from day to night and in the bedroom too. Featuring pieces made of exceptionally soft fabrications, Nightcap Clothing is versatile fashion that dares you to dream.

Dress You Up
Transitional moments are apt to be awkward. We need only look to our 7th grade picture for proof. And, like the seasonal equivalent of middle school, early April has us staring into the depths of our closet, unsure of how to dress for the confusing, not-quite-spring weather. Who do we turn to in our time of need? Our trusted friend: the dress. On a bleak, drizzly day we're pairing a short, flirty style with tights and a cozy-luxe cardigan. And for those unseasonably warm weekends? We love the casual chic of a sweeping dress and skimpy sandals. Spring dresses fit for all of Mother Nature's moods? Find 'em right here, at shopbop.
