It's all about style...

In gathering inspiration for summer, I browsed The Sartorialist and Garance Dore. After losing myself in the archives, I collected some great ideas.

All of these women have something in common. They have different body types, different hair, and different outfits. But they all exude confidence and a strong sense of style - through the way they assemble a look out of the unexpected, how they flaunt color or contrast, and the fact that they all seem completely comfortable in what they're wearing. Let's start with my favorite...




















Ageless, timeless, and undeniably unique. But also particularly smart, sophisticated, and clean. I tend to prefer that sort of thing. Hence my undying love of Hache.




















Very Italian, very effortless. You get the feeling this is a well-worn favorite in her summer wardrobe.




















Speaking of Italian. She could exist in so many different fashion eras.




















I'm pretty sure this woman jumped right out of a classic novel about summering on the beaches of France.




















An unexpected combination that totally works. And this skirt reminds me so much of our Groa dyed skirt.




















Tailored, feminine, classic. She could also have existed in another era. Recognizing a theme here?




















This one is about attitude and accessories. She's turned her clothing into a clean palette for accessories that seem to really represent her.




















Honestly, I would never wear this dress. I wouldn't really consider it in a store. But, on her, it's refreshing.




















Another refreshing shot of color and contrast.




















School girl chic. This look never really goes out of style.


























































Apparently, Giovanna looks great every day of the year. And who would think to throw that knit layer over a shirt dress or metallic pants? This lady.

Summer Dresses - A Series

Summer is finally, sort-of, almost here!

So we thought it would be fun to show you our favorite options for the many events you'll surely attend this summer, from a casual picnic to a glamorous night out. You'll see some dresses make repeat appearances. That's not because we're lazy! Many of our dresses are versatile and can transition with a simple change of accessories.

As usual, check our website or call for details. Happy May!

Summer Dresses - Evening Event

You know the drill: you've got an evening event coming up (wedding, charity, party, etc.) and you're tired of the same few dresses that rotate through your social life. Rather than whirl through every store in town, we suggest you take a deep breath and check out our top picks below.

We prefer clean lines, unfussy details, and versatile styles that are worth the investment because, as you can see in earlier posts, many of these evening dresses can be worn for daytime.


Three Dots black maxi $170



















Though it's jersey, the drape and sheen of this fabric look elegant. It pairs effortlessly with fine jewelry. Or go bold and funky with some Alexis Bittar pieces.

Alexis Bittar lucite jewelry $78 to $268









Fiumicelli red silk dress $299



















The slightly asymmetrical design, optional ribbon belt, and splash of color make this a fierce choice for an evening statement. For a soft touch of contrast, try it with blue calcite.

Becky Kelso calcite pendant $379











Geren Ford silk grommet dress $338



















The grommet detailing on this shift makes it an edgy option - and also makes jewelry a snap since understated bangles or earrings work best with the already shimmery front.


Fiumicelli printed silk dress $299



















This lively print pairs best with subtle jewelry, like a gold or silver Adina Reyter pendant necklace.

Adina Reyter silver circle $149
Adina Retyer gold circle $396













DieterBennett black strapless $640



















This designer is local to Chicago, but has a distinct European look, with it's crinkled cotton texture and streamlined silhouette. A dramatic dyed scarf or necklace adds glamor to the look.

Sete di Jaipur silk ombre scarf $89
Alexis Bittar lucite pendant $178









Fiumicelli silk racerback dress $310



















The tie on this is optional, but adds a sexy definition to the waist. And, because it's so perfect with solid color dresses, the Alexis pendant makes a repeat appearance here.

Alexis Bittar lucite pendant $178









Allude black jersey dress $219



















This is an easy long-term staple for any wardrobe. The color, beautiful drape, and versatile fabric make it a no-brainer. Take it from casual to evening by choosing finer jewelry, like these Danielle Welmond pieces.

Danielle Welmond green amethyst, 14K gold earrings $669
Danielle Welmond topaz pendant $448
