New Take, Old Favorite
June 15th, 2008
I’ve long been a fan of Trina Turk, for her fantastically bright prints and drapey dresses. Every time I go to an event or a party, I love knowing that not only will the silhouette of my dress set me apart, but that the color combinations will be fresh and unexpected. This weekend however, at her 50% spring sale, the details that I usually look for were all set aside when I spotted this Zimka 2 Shirtdress. The crisp cotton is extremely light, so even though it’s black, it will be a great piece for summer with limitless options for accessorizing. The slightly longer sleeves and the cinched in waist ensure that this shirtdress is far from just your average LBD.
that dress is so chic and very flattering
I got an insane pair of Trina Turk pants off eBay. I’m scared to even wear them.
have you been to osteria mozza (a mario batalli restaurant)? they have a mozzarella bar that’s supposed to be life-changing. i’ve yet to visit, but pizzeria mozza (the more casual one) was amazing. highly recommended!
