Mad About Madras

I’m a Madras addict- bags, flip-flops, shorts, skirts, jackets, belts, you name it, I want it.  Luckily, it’s everywhere this season.  My favorite summer dress is naturally this adorable jumper from J. Crew that just oozes cuteness and comfort.  I’m going to wear mine sightseeing on vacation, to backyard fiestas, and walks down the boardwalk.   It’s surprisingly affordable for something this timeless.  The pockets only make me love it more!

Simply Vera for Kohl’s

Kohl’s is teaming up with none other than Vera Wang. So many of you are fashionistas in your own right, and who knows which one of you will be the next celeb designer.

Simply Vera, as the line is called, will reflect Vera’s signature detailing like the use of tulle, roses and ruched belts. As of September, we’ll be able to hit up Kohl’s for Vera’s affordable dresses, coats, silky tops, shoes and scarves. Not surprisingly, Simply Vera will be the highest priced brand sold, but we’re talking Kohl’s here, so at prices from $30-$70 (though some select items are over $100) it will certainly not break the bank!

If Vera’s Fall collection is any indication of what’s to come at Kohl’s, we can’t wait!
