One for the treble two for the Dace

Ladies, I know you aren't ready for this, but I am going to blow your mind.
Dace does dresses you can afford.






You also need this Dace sweater:


Oh, and don't miss the sale section. You're very welcome.

F-Troupe

It's hard to go shopping with your mate. There are never enough stores that give equal attention to both male and female collections. This is why I adore F-Troupe. Their shoe collection is perfection and they have something for the ladies as well as the gents.

For example, how will I survive another day of sunshine without these? Available online at Oak.


They also come in a high-heeled version.


F-Troupe doesn't disappoint in the non-canvas department either.


And for the gents, feast your eyes on these simple yet, charming canvas shoes.


Oak also carries both of these men's styles here and here.


You have to love a company with a sense of humor. Apparently, F-Troupe has made it possible to make your own moccasins. Available here. So awesome.

Tucker everlasting

The title of this post is a tribute to one of the best reads of my 6th grade year. Tuck Everlasting. A book dealing with the very real issue of family and the fountain of youth. Man it was good. But this isn't a post of me rehashing my A+ book report, oh no this is about fashion.

Behold Tucker:
The amazingly talented people at Refinery29 have an article about Tucker, a line designed by Gaby Basora out of New York. She took on creating the perfect, feminine blouse with an obvious panache for vintage, and I am just floored by her genius.

I also love the styling. (Some folks don't like high-waisted trousers, I love them.)

Just look at the drape of these blouses. Pure perfection. You'll look like you didn't even try to look this gorgeous, you just woke up that way.

Check out her dresses and tunics as well. Simply beautiful. Available online here and here.

J'aime Manoush

The name of this beautiful label means gypsy in French. And while the word gypsy brings up visions of The Last Unicorn and lots of bracelets for me, I'll add whimsical and bohemian to my memory mix. I love all the details and the nod to vintage fabrics and silhouettes. All of these pieces can be found on Net-A-Porter.com.

Elevate an otherwise understated outfit with this striped lurex jacket.



This is a nice twist on the average bib front tank.



My jacket collection is begging for this lantern sleeve jacket.



And nothing could beat this perfect Lantern sleeve dress.

Oh, sunny day

I'll admit it, San Francisco has fog. For some people this is a problem, for me it is just another reason to wear a pretty sweater. Occasionally though, we have these perfectly sunny days where I could care less that my office is across the street from a tourist trap .

Today, is one of those days and I'm feeling generous. So here you go, my no-fail, adds a skip-in my step outfit.

When I found this sweater at Anthroplogie, I kind of felt like the stars aligned and I should buy a lottery ticket.


(You'll look as pretty as this lady in this sweater for sure.)



Things got even more intense when I found these AG jeans.


I am kind of denim-snobby, probably in reaction to my college years spent in high-end retail. So finding these beauties that didn't even need alterations convinced me that I was being rewarded for all the elementary recesses I stayed inside to practice reading my phonics books.

(Another benefit of living in the fog is being able to wear boots year-round.)



I usually finish this outfit off with my Loeffler Randall Bertie boots. Not too shabby.
