Cupcakes and Cashmere

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.

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!
