First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

Feminine but not girly, my picks today include shopbop’s downtown sophisticate Elizabeth and James, and newcomer Black Halo.
	Love the print and the belt. Plus, Maureen tried this on this morning (for writing purposes, I swear!) and the shawl collar is incredibly flattering. (Elizabeth and James, Yoko Print Dress)
	Normally I try to avoid choosing two pieces from the same brand, but I’m sort of obsessed with the goldenrod color and neck tie on this top from Elizabeth and James. (Kimberly Blouse)
	The sexy cutout back and flirty button closure on this dress from Black Halo are completely classed up with colorblocked neutrals. (Cutout Jackie O Dress)

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What’s New

Naughty or nice? Today I want styles with a little bit o’ both.
	Just the retro-sexy, ladylike pair I’m in the mood for right now. These feel very Liz Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Hanky Panky, Signature Lace Ruched Boy Short
	Like a sophisticated, uptown version of something Debbie Harry would’ve worn, circa 1979. Refined enough for work, the studs give these suede pumps a cool rocker attitude. Jean-Michel Cazabat Luxury Rebel, La Palma Tapered Toe Stud Pump
	Hot in that insouciant, not-trying-too-hard way I’m obsessed with, this top has a great DIY feel without the time-consuming DIY part. Elizabeth and James, Scarf Tee
Naughty? Nice? Find both and everything in between, right here in What’s New.

First Fashion: Our Favorite's from What's New

For whatever reason, my picks from today’s What’s New say "Lumberjack chic." For reals.
	This checked shirt from Sunner may take its inspiration from a certain legendary lumberjack’s closet, but with a cool blue color and a flattering fit, this top is my favorite kind of unexpected style.
	These shorts from Elizabeth and James have that “I ripped a hole in my favorite jeans and had to cut them off so I can still keep wearing them” look that I love. Plus, the suspenders are off-beat and cool and much more delicate than those you might expect from expert tree-fellers.
	I love the sweet heart detail and metallic leather band on this watch from Juicy Couture. It may not be appropriate lumberjack wear, but I could time how long it takes Paul to cut down a tree!

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

Monday morning is a little less of a hurdle with new fashion to admire.
	When it comes to boho chic, I am of the “less is more” school. Therefore, Ra Creations’ subtle Susannah Braided Bracelet is my new go-to accessory.
	Swimsuit design may not be on the Mensa entrance exam, but the chain halter strap on this cool print bikini from Brette Sandler is a work of genius.
	Casual chic may as well be my middle name, which is why I’m in love with this top from Elizabeth and James. Perfect for Thursday night cocktails!

First Fashion: The Best of What's New

Too many days in a row in jeans and a tee has me craving something a little fancy.
	Like a modern take on that effortlessly elegant ’70s-Hollywood-Pool-Party look I’m forever traipsing after. It shimmers ever so slightly, and I love how the sheer overlay subdues the bold print of the skirt. (Iisli - Shimmer Nile Dress)
	My love affair with blazers continues! This one evokes the elegance of men’s formalwear, but with a decidedly feminine fit. I’m wearing it this weekend with dark skinnies, a white tee, and my patent Loeffler Randall Pumps. (Alexander Wang - Boyfriend Blazer)
	I’ve been losing my mind over Elizabeth and James ever since the first pieces started trickling in a couple months back. As this top shows, the designers have clearly mastered that elusive combination of fashion-forward, feminine, and utterly wearable. (Elizabeth and James - Joni Tunic)

First Fashion: The Best of What’s New

That’s why we’re bringing you First Fashion, your morning look at our favorites in What’s New. Have some style with your coffee.

I’m a sucker for a sharp wit and I will tell you, Elizabeth and James’ unexpectedly punk Feather James Blazer had an immediate effect on the size of my pupils. A quality, tailored blazer with four (yes, four!) buttons at the cuffs and an outrageous feather trim, all in a non-committal, nod-to-formal coal made my heart pitter-patter.

The girly-girl eyelet lace and fraying edges make Joie’s Parker Top perfect for a carefree, romantic summer evening at the lake. Feet in the water, stars in the sky…when’s my vacation?

I literally cannot keep my skinnies in my closet. Besides the fact that I’m a slob in denial, the reason for this is that if I could, I would wear skinny denim every day of the week. Thank you, William Rast, for with your just-distressed-enough Kristin Ultra Skinny Ankle Jean you have given me what I desire. Springtime heaven is ankle-length denim.
