In the Glossies: shopbop in People Style Watch

The latest issue of People Style Watch stamped peasant tops with its big pink “trend alert,” and Joie, the brand that does the airy blouse better than anyone, made the list, natch. The celeb donning their Harmonize Top? Super-sexy former-supermodel Cindy Crawford, who looks as incredible today as she did back in her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition days.

Sure, the top isn’t going to rocket us to Cindy’s sexy status, but we figure it can’t hurt.

Jump for Joie

Maybe it's the season or maybe we just have bohemian on the brain, but we've been drawn to everything airy lately. The brand that has us covered in all areas? Joie, of course. We're smitten with the Linette Empire Dress and its fresh appeal, and we'll be spending many summer days in the Libby Smocked Top and the Harmonize D Top. On the short side of things, we're in love with the Analisa Short, and the Hollywood Romper is the dress alternative we've been craving. We're jumping for Joie, and you should too because new styles have just arrived, at shopbop.

June Style File: Lazy Summer Days

It's that time of year when days grow long and the sun bakes the earth, when leisure is invited, welcomed, relished. It's summer, and our wardrobe demands comfort and a little laissez-faire attitude, which is why we turn to casual tops from the likes of C&C California and Splendid, Free People and Ella Moss. We throw them on with shorts by Vince and Joie, or we wear them as cover-ups with bikinis from Rachel Pally and Brette Sandler. Those lazy days are here. Read more in the June Style File, only at shopbop.

Smooth Transition

This time of year yields peculiar weather. The day begins cool, by 3 p.m. the temperature has risen 20 degrees, and then it drops by 15 in the evening. On days like these, layering becomes a fashion art form, and if it’s done right, one outfit can take you from morning to night.

The easiest way to pull it off is to make a flirty dress the foundation of your look. I love the vintage feel and the on-trend, airy silhouette of Joie’s floral Kapri Dress. Layer on a cardigan by James Perse and a scarf by Love Quotes for morning; then ditch them in the afternoon heat. As the temperatures drop with the setting sun, use the scarf as a shawl for a perfectly evening-worthy look.

Get in the Groove

The late '60s, that epoch of free love, funk, and other, ahem, psychedelic pastimes. It's also the era that brought us tie-dye, bell-bottoms, and platforms in all their groovy glory. We're not planning to paint peace signs on our car and take off with a cross-country caravan, but with updated looks from Joie and YAYA, J Brand and Seven, we might just think twice if given the option. Get in the groove and feel the flower power, right now, at shopbop.

First Fashion: The Best of What’s New

Countless examples of modern chic arrive at shopbop every day, and we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t tell you we find a few eye-catching standouts to covet each and every one of those days. 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.
