This Spring 09 we fell in love with a long floral maxi skirt and slouchy cotton tank from designer Jenni Kayne. We find this look casual and elegant and especially attractive as it would work on a variety of body types and on women of all ages. Pair a long skirt with a masculine top in the winter and with a thin tank in the summer and you'll be chic and sophisticated. Some of our favorite examples, above.

Rumor has it Erin Fetherston is getting into the hotel business. A tipster revealed that Fetherston might like to do such things in Asia. Makes sense.
Eponymous Seattle boutique Blackbird has launched an e-commerce site. Functional. Accessible. Clean. Boutiques take note!
American Apparel goes for nudity on select blogs and websites such as Last Night's Party. Scandalous? Meh.
WWD reports on rampant conservatism in fashion. Fall 09 just got a whole lot less interesting. Well...there's always Paris.
There's something about the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 collection that calls to mind New Year's Eve and the accessories make it hard to deny. Glittering, tasseled, layered, and multi-textural---these are bang-for-your-buck statement pieces that call to mind confetti and champagne cocktails. If only for inspiration, check out the accessories from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 collection below. They might not hit stores in a few months but there has to be a DIY opportunity in there somewhere.
