I Adore

I just ordered this dress (aptly named I Adore dress) by Rose from LaGarconne. Needless to say, I love this dress. I have always been a fan of dresses that appear simple from the front and have an element of surprise from the back.



This dress is, to me, perfection. If I were to design the perfect dress, this is what it would look like. The dress comes from a new line, Rose, designed by two stylists out of LA. Saks and Revolve both carry the line, and I am surprised it has not been more coveted (you can find all of the pieces on sale at both sites). I like the moody, romantic style of the line, as well as its simplicity.

I picked up another great piece from their line, a whisper-thin tee shirt with the following words written in cursive along the bottom: "he offered her the world, she said she had her own." I couldn't have said it better myself.

Humanoid

Blame it on a childhood of watching Small Wonder, but I have always had an affinity for robots. Likewise, being a lawyer, I have always suspected that many of my colleagues are, in fact, evil robots, programmed to destroy the Earth, one file at a time.

It is no coincidence, then, that when you google the name of one of my favorite clothing lines, Humanoid, most of the resulting hits relate to robots. And I think, in some way, they have tried to create a uniform for humans. And uniforms come pretty darn close to making us robots, no? Okay, enough with the robots. Humanoid's pieces are timeless, seasonless and can be mixed and matched in endless combinations, from season to season. The Dutch line was sold at one of my favorite stores in Chicago, Hejfina, but is now available online at Revolve and other boutiques. They have perfectly captured the essence of Dutch style - simple, effortlessly put-together, but casual. It is safe to say that every season, I want everything they make.
