Sucession Spring 2012 Lookbook

I was recently introduced to the L.A. based label Secession.  While the collection is for most part casual luxe t-shirt dressing I was most attracted to the eye-catching linear graphics that are inspired by the designer, Sharlene Durfey's own photography, vintage textile collections and love of graphic design.

One of my fave things to note about Secession is that the collection is 100% manufactured in the USA!  Domestic manufacturing is definitely becoming increasingly uncommon but I can't help but feel a little good about wearing something made in the USA as resident and as someone who works in the industry.

Every Secession piece is limited edition from the printed design and the hangtag booklet, through to the debut collection's custom-printed packaging.

If you are a fan of bold graphics this collection is definitely worth checking out.

Introducing Everly (Full Lookbook)

I was recently introduced to the L.A. based label Everly just a few weeks back and was charmed by the  simple, feminine looks that were designed by 2 sisters.  Iwas completely surprised when I later learned that the price point of the collection is well under $100 with pieces starting at just $46 for a dress!  The collection incorporates easy-to-wear wardrobe staples in animal prints, graphic chevrons, dots and zig zag stripe.

Although there are a couple of body con dresses most of the silhouettes skim over the body giving plenty of room for eating, moving and just life in general.  Everly just exudes that effortless kind of pretty but not trying to hard attitude that could take you from the everyday to a great date night look.
