Suzie Winkle’s Perfect Dress for Work

0


Dona Dress by Suzie Winkle available here.

Now that it’s officially summer and the weather’s warm you’ll need a perfect dress to wear to work – one that’s comfortable, stylish, and unique.  Look no further than Suzie Winkle’s Dona Dress.

Made with grey striped cotton voile, it’s perfectly lightweight for hot summer days. The blouson top and dolman sleeves make it appropriate for work, the sleek skirt brings just the right amount of sexiness, and the tie-waist and double-breasted buttons add those special details that fashionistas love.

Best of all it’s super easy to wear – pair it with sandals (such as our Patricia Blanchet Manolette ! Hurry up, we only have 4 left !) and a long necklace.  We guarantee that you’ll be the only one in the office wearing it.

Wear it with aqua / turquoise accessories for an even more summery feel !

(Our Dona dress and Manolette pumps are styled with a Shourouk electro bird necklace, Blydesign cuff, Alexis Bittar & Ippolita bangles, and Essie nail polish in Turquoise & Caicos. View set on polyvore.com.)

For the perfect hair to go with your new dress, try a braided top bun.  To achieve this beautiful look, use this tutorial from A Cup of Joe:

What: Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (Le Mépris)

Parisian screenwriter Paul Javal (Piccoli) and his wife Camilla (Bardot) join director Fritz Lang and American film producer Jeremy Prokosch (Palance) on the set of new film version of the Odyssey in Italy. Camille is not happy about this long journey away from home, among strangers.  And she shows it.

Who: Sponsored by Films on the Green

When: Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 8:30 p.m.

Where: Tompkins Square Park, Manhattan

Cost: Free

What to Wear: Navy Blue of course: View our selection here


Brigitte broods and spends a lot of time in the nude.  But when she gets dressed, she masterfully creates the effortless chic that Parisian women do so well. Put a modern spin on Brigitte’s 1960s outfit with Suzie Winkle’s White Deer Tank Top and D.Dikate’s Navy Skirt. Or if you’re looking for a full navy look, try Suzie Winkle’s silk Alberta Dress or D.Dikate Romy dress. For a more subtle introduction of navy into your wardrobe, check out D.Dikate’s Liberty print Celine Top.

If you want to go full Brigitte, try this, with our D.Dikate navy skirt :

One dress to beat the heat

0

For as much as I love NYC’s summer weather, dressing for it – other than putting on a bathing suit and heading for the beach – can be a bit of a nightmare …

Here’s one dress to beat the brutal heat of these days in the city and remain fashionably fresh :) , made in a very soft and light linen crêpe …

One dress to beat the heat - white silk dress from Suzie WInkle at the French Therapy

The dress is from Suzie Winkle, and the camel bow cluth is from D.dikate. Both are available at The French Therapy, here (dress) and here (clutch).

Sandals are Lanvin, bangles are Topshop and Kate Spade, & the necklace is from French designer Shourouk (http://www.shourouk.fr/)  I’m a huge fan …
