Spring Into Summer With A Flourish

These looks from Steven Alan and Club Monaco's Spring/Summer 2011 lookbooks have a bit of everything I like for summer: lots of stripes, pleats, drapy fabrics, and a dash of sparkle. Throw on some canvas slip-ons, a leather saddle bag and I am more than ready for warm weather. And sun. Another week of this rain isn't doing the general morale any good.

Priscilla

How great is this bag? Her name is Priscilla, and I must get my hands on her. A visit to my neighbourhood Club Monaco ended in disappointment. Or, somewhat so, since I did find a few other things to take home, including a dress that was marked way down and a wear-with-everything cashmere scarf that was also marked down (!).
