Save some space in your suitcase by packing a pair of light weight white pants.  Almost every Resort runway this year featured a pair of white pants.  Calvin Klein and Chanel featured a pair of long loose white pants that fluttered over the top of the shoe.  Giorgio Armani, Chloe and Christian Dior also featured a slightly more tailored white pant that cuts off around the ankle.  Chloe gave her tailored pants a more grunge look by rolling up the hem just a little.  Either way a girl can’t go wrong with a pair of white pants this summer.  Luckily, we have a pair of white pants relaxing in our shop right now.  These 1990’s Giorgio Armani pants are yearning to go away on a fabulous vacation!  Quickly whisk them away on your summer adventures before someone else does.

Whether you are going somewhere a bit nippy this summer or just having to wait in a chilly airport a blazer is the most stylish way to warm up.  Fly away in a classic black blazer like Derek Lam and Alexander McQueen in our very own 1970’s 3 button black blazer. 

Black blazers aren’t the only stylish warm up staple, try going a little bold with a pure shot of bright color.  Rachel Zoe shows off a satin like pastel blazer for the light and airy traveler.  Too mild?  Check out DKNY’s hot pink blazer for something sure to shake up your journey.  If you like hot pink you will definitely love our vintage Harve Bernard Jacket!

What doesn’t go better or fold smaller than a clean button down shirt?  This classic is never out of style and never out of new outfit ideas.  If you are wearing the button down shirt for the journey you can choose to wear it long and crisp with long pants like Salvatore Ferragamo or Alexander McQueen.  Packing that shirt away for another day?  Not a problem.  Wrinkle the shirt a little and pair it with your favorite shorts for a laid back sunny look.  Take some inspiration from Burberry and Bally for the perfect relaxed button down shirt.  Don’t have a button down shirt yet?  What luck, we have a 1970’s ruffle collar button down aching to be taken out for a sunny vacation!  Come get to know it better at our shop.
