Spring Sleeved Frocks

spring sleeve frocks

My little cousin once told me this joke:

“where does the king keep his armies?”
The punch line, “in his sleevies.”

I love dresses with sleeves. They’re so flattering and wearable for any occasion from going to work, to going out to lunch..perhaps a picnic even or to a birthday party. I rounded this bunch up from shopbop consisting of some of my favorite designers:

  1. Parker 3/4 sleeve dress
  2. Marc Jacobs flutter stripe dress
  3. C&C California short sleeve striped dress
  4. Catherine Malandrino belted dress

Skinny laMinx: Sevilla Rock

Sevilla Rock

How amazing is this fabric by the talented Heather Moore? I want to upholster a couch with the deep turquoise and then have a corresponding chair upholstered with the red. Have you seen her latest design?

You’re the best Heather. Hope to meet you when you visit NY from sunny South Africa.

Readers, have a splendid weekend!

Parasol Magazine and Nice Package

Nice Package

Have you seen the latest issue of Parasol Magazine from the creative mind and hands of Yasmine Surovec? It features a story about Nice Package, “a gift packaging line designed to offer simple solutions for infusing creativity and beauty into their customers’ homes and lives. The line includes a unique collection of gift-packaging essentials that will add sparkle to gifts, and home décor items sure to bring a touch of whimsy to any home”. Founded by bloggers Ez Pudewa and Marichelle Burdman, Nice Package has some gorgeous inspiration. My favorite package is “I left my heart in Paris” kit featured above.
