, so we actually like this blouse a lot. There's shadow stripes throughout with layered ruffle trim at the scoop neck and placket, unfinished edges at the ruffles, rounded hem, and six buttons at the front. It's also semi-sheer and available in beige and soccer pitch green.
February 27, 2009

It comes in three colors: indigo, oatmeal, and pink.

This sweater has ribbed banding at the wide neck and bottom hem, raised seam at the shoulders and back, long ribbed sleeves, and split sides.

True Love Jacket by Nanette Lepore
The stunning True Love Jacket by Nanette Lepore is worth the price because you can wear it with jeans as the model is, or you can pair it with work clothes or other dressier items. This tweed coat has scalloped trim and two tone banding at the crew neck and placket, contrast appliqué and faux button flap pockets at the front, three hook-and-eye closures, two tone banding at the bottom hem and cuffs, and 3/4 length sleeves.

It's a great coat to get you through the spring.
Window Lace Camisole by Milly

Blaire Cami by Ella Moss
The Blaire Cami by Ella Moss is too cute to pass up. This flirty top has ruffle detail at the off the shoulder neckline, thin straps, and contrast trim at the neckline and ruffle. The medium weight of the ruffles also keeps them from flipping up. Besides chive, it's also available in orchid and admiral, but those colors are selling out fast!

Bratique Helene
Bratique Helene is a boutique that makes tops for women wiht a full bust. We've heard that buying tops can be quite hard for women with larger chest sizes, so we are thrilled to find a company that helps them. Each top is available two ways for each size depending on the chest size, which will only ensure that the top fits you better. Available on their site is a cami shell, a button down top, and a wrap, each in two colors. The button down uses eye and hooks instead of buttons so the top won't open up between each button. We'd love to know what you all think of this company, so please comment if you try them out!
Ombre Tunic by Splendid
In general ombre tops are overdone, but the Ombre Tunic by Splendid we still like because it's not the same old tank or blouse with this feature. This top has a deep V-neck, gathered elastic banding and tie at the empire waist, elbow length dolman sleeves, and is semi-sheer. It's available in three colors: lemon, strawberry, and blurple.
