New York’s Shining New Star

Tory Burch’s life is a modern New York fairy tale: She came from a well-bred family, married a brilliant businessman, had children, but then got divorced. However, don’t feel bad for this woman at all, because nothing can keep her down. During this period of crisis, Ms. Burch managed to both raise her children and continue leading the fashion company that she started with her ex-husband. There are also some rumors that she is presently dating Lance Armstrong. Whether they are true or not, the Tory Burch line has blossomed into a respectable fashion house with magazines like O, Vanity Fair, and W singing her praises.

Tory’s army green Short Sleeve Sgt. Pepper Dress reminds me of Yves Saint Laurent’s 1968 "Safari" collection, where the couturier capitalized on social trends and the events of the time to liberate womenswear. Tory’s take on Safari chic is just as great with its sharp and simple form and comfortable stretch cotton material.

However, its her 2T signature print that really captures that 60’s groove and passion for unique prints. If I were you I would grab this dress while it is still on sale for $195. Judging form this socialite turned designer’s report card it will be out of stock soon.
