Spring Trends at Scarpe

With only 3 weeks until Spring officially surfaces, Scarpe is having a major case of Spring Fever!

Recently we have gotten flooded with handfuls of linen basics by Hartford and Vince, stunning organic dresses from Rogan, and sandals from CocoBelle that will revive any foot feeling the winter blues! One trend that cannot easily be ignored for Spring, is the homage to Annie Hall, Dietrich, and Hepburn with a modern take on menswear inspired fashion.

Lately Hollywood has completely gone retro. Call it lack of original ideas or educating the younger generations about values and class, but I think the Retro Virus is contagious because, well hello..look at these leading ladies! During a time where ladylike demure was put on a pedestal and showing skin was bolding wearing ankle baring capris and a drop back cowl dress. For a moment, let us come together and throw out the midriff baring crop tops and Lindsay Lohan micro-mini dresses to appreciate the daring courage and modest approach of vintage dress.

 Nili Lotan does a stunning job balancing the demure allure of a woman's body and adding a dash of men's structure and roughness. Nili Lotan's NL One Pocket Button-down is structured from the most luxurious linen that I have ever touched, and the fit is one of a kind. Pair this top with one of the accessories below, like the Dolce Vita bootie (superb for those narrow feet fellas out there) and the MS. by Martine Sitbon envelope clutch, to complete the outfit.

Felling the dark-tone blues? Get the look with warmer colors and a variety of textures with this ensemble! The Nili Lotan linen Boyfriend Blazer adds masculine undertones, with ease. Layer this piece over shorts and a summer sweater or unbutton it and don this Vince Silk Blouse under it. The blouse is surprisingly opaque while still being a silky smooth lightweight silk. Casual enough to wear to dinner yet completely work appropriate, this Vince blouse is shockingly transitional. Once you add these Camel Cropped Skinny jeans from Vince to the mix you automatically receive praise for rocking this bold organic tone, as well as a complete "Borrowed From The Boys" look that would make Cindy Crawford jealous.
