Crisp cotton shirts and dresses were the orders and it seems like young designers Doo.Ri, Thakoon, and Rodarte met the mark with these personality inspired pieces made exclusively for The Gap.

You know the kind of sexy, light, sophisticated cotton shirts and dresses with a twist, that you’ve seen Marc Jacobs and Rachel Roy make for a 100 times more than what these lovelies are going for, without the substitution of quality. They’re all classic!
If you’ve already stopped in and made a buy, let me know what you got? I’m still deciding what to order online.

While watching Madagascar for the 100th time( I’m a fool for funny flicks), all those cute little pixar animals had me thinking about clothes, animal prints, monochromatic fabrics( like a Zebra print) and “tried and true” basics.

And Voila! Even though I love white and very often stay away from black ( I’m a big color-razzi), both black and white clothing are no doubt timeless and classic. Both are a staples in everyone womans wardrobe, and there should be no shortage of ways to wear the things you’ve already got right? Or if you’re looking for ideas check out my pictorial shopping list: cute twist to old favorites and some new ones too.


1.White Belted shirt dress by Doo.Ri available at The Gap $88.00

2. Vintage Collection Elle Round Sunglasses at 80s Purple $15.00

3.Distressed Wide Leather belt at Newport News Now $15.00

4. Alice + Olivia Chicago Baby Doll black
and white Dress at shopbop.com
$297.00

5. White Edith Tote Bag Inspired by Chloe at Baghaus $49.99

6.Tory Burch Nappa Leather reva Ballet Flats at shopbop.com
$195.00

7.Peep-toe ballet-style patent espadrille at Newport-News $34.00


Ideally i’d get rid of the fabric belt off the DooRi dress and add something like the black belt and black ballet flats to match. And the Alice + Olivia dress can be worn many times over leggings or jeans. The accessories like the white Edith bag and sunglasses can be worn with anything!

Love – Jahaute!

Was I the only who didn’t know about one of Gap Inc. newest venture ( November 2006) to launch a web based store that only sells shoes, and get this, shoes designed and manufactured and branded by other companies?

Its called Piperlime, and I found it yesterday when I was snooping around for the place that had the cheapest pair of Bronx Vita booties I really like, with the cut out toe( so cute!).

The prices dont seem to be much of a bargain, but customers pay no postage, and purchases will arrive with a pre-paid return label should the shoe not fit( aka I don’t like it anymore – I love the whole Buyers Remorse option to shopping!)

Brand include BCBG Max Azria, Tracy Reese, Kenneth Cole New York, Via Spiga, Chinese Laundry, and Jessica Simpson

RODARTE

New talent gets a big break with GAP. Oh, I can’t wait to see what will be the offspring from this marriage!

“We are absolutely invested in emerging talent. Part of us has always been about celebrating young designers,” said Marka Hansen, president of Gap North America, in an interview Tuesday. She elaborated on Gap’s new limited edition collection for women called Gap Design Editions, which will be created by Doo-Ri Chung, Thakoon Panichgul and Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
