some styling inspiration from New Zealand’s Noa Noa label- we’re loving the subtle touches of print and shine, all wrapped up in the perfect cozy layers.

Kenzo Resort 2011
July 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
we love (love! love!) Kenzo’s Resort 2011 looks, where vintage-inspired wallpaper florals are modernized in bright colors and wrapped up in delightful obi belts. and take note for next season ladies- high-waisted skirts are lengthening to just below the knee, and require a tall, strong sandal to get the proportion just right.

Lauren Moffatt Fall 2010
July 6, 2010 By 1 Comment
it’s common knowledge that we have quite the fashion crush on Lauren Moffatt over here at Dresses for Breakfast (check out her spring line)…so we thought it was high time to showcase her Fall 2010 collection, styled here by Kate Lanphear. It’s a tall task to make fall day dresses look young and fun, but this line does it effortlessly, with classic-turned-quirky prints, menswear layers, and the most perfect socks-with-heels combination ever. plus, the architecture nerd in us loves the frank lloyd wright-inspired border prints…so cute.

Anthropologie + Nathalie Lete
June 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
We’re so inspired by Nathalie Lete’s dress collaboration with Anthropologie that we may just bring our paintbrushes and watercolors out of hiding. The Beaux-Art’s educated artist also has designed a collection of housewares for Anthro, made up of gorgeous silkscreens, quirky lithographs, and one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces.

Caycee Black SP2010 Lookbook
June 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
we’re loving the “lost in the backyard” vibe of Caycee Black’s spring lookbook- not to mention her great graphic prints and nipped-waist silhouettes. we’re ready to throw off our heels, ditch the blackberry, and wander through the park all weekend.
(you may notice that we’ve thrown a romper and a skirt into the mix here. for classifications sake, we’re considering a dress to be either a 1. one piece garment or 2. a skirted garment. why, you may ask? just because we love the illusion of a dress as much as a dress itself).

evening by Tibi: Fall 2010
June 17, 2010 By 1 Comment
We’re getting pre-excited for sequins, shine, and a little drama this fall! On the Tibi runway, all-over sequins looked young and fresh in vintage-inspired blouson silhouettes and sweetheart party dresses, while asymmetrical necklines and sporty details added a contemporary twist.
So, now that we’ve got the perfect outfit (the standout blush pink strapless number, obviously), it’s time to let the party invites start rolling in!

Olivia Rubin SP/SM2010
June 16, 2010 By 1 Comment
What do Matisse, Kandinsky, and Rembrandt have in common? They all serve as inspiration for Olivia Rubin’s colorful prints and playful silhouettes. The young London designer is herself a modern artisan, with experience working for both Alexander McQueen and John Galliano.
