I just got back from a long weekend in the Bahamas with my mom, and feel warm all over; partially because I had a really nice time, but mainly because I’m a bit burnt. It wasn’t the SPF 50’s fault that I slathered myself in, but rather user error in missing small patches of skin and occasionally being lazy about reapplying. Shame on me!
Nonetheless, it was so nice to stop shivering in NYC for a few days, and head somewhere with weather I can certainly appreciate it March! Besides vacation, I was there to visit my good friend Anna, and if you’re in Nassau and in need of any sort of an expert hair service from cut and color to styling, keep in mind her beautiful, boutique salon, Studio Vivo.
Now that I’m back in NYC, it’s time to stash away those tropical hues and sleeveless dresses, heading back to my winter wardrobe of predominantly black for me, at least for a while longer. Wearing black in the weather is a New Yorker’s uniform, perfect for combating and concealing the sludge, ice, snow, and anything else relatively icky with staining potential that you may encounter on the streets or in the subway. I certainly do love my sartorial life in NYC, but like Anna, I could also get used to dressing for the warm weather, year ’round!

Malene Birger
Highly acclaimed Malene Birger is a successful designer in Scandinavia, proved by the vast crowd who gathered for her SS 2011 collection located in the remote shipping warehouse outside of Copenhagen. Danish celebrities lined the front row for the show, which had an overall aesthetic of urban safari comprised of warm earth tones and soft pastels, shapely trench coats, suits, and maxi dresses. Cinched waists underscore a strong female silhouette this season, much to the pleasure of us bestowed with hourglass curves. Still, topped off with a scarf wrapped beneath a bowler hat, the feminine shapes are given a suitable contrast, lacing estrogen and testosterone together to produce an alluring balance.
Rutzou
Radiating tribal romance infused with touches of elegant Egyptian, Rutzou presented her soft feminine collection at Copenhagen’s city hall to a feast of VIP guests. Revamped jodhpurs are made sophisticated with a sheer silk vest, followed by fluid jumpsuits and playful frippery. The soft yet edgy looks are juxtaposed with overlaying corsets and thick waist-belts on silk pastel dresses, pairing comfort with sophistication. The slouched silhouette reminiscent of the early mid-20th century are updated with long-ended gold chokers and yellow, black and white staned garments and light shades of purple and tan on floor-length gowns. According this collection, the key to spring is comfort, elegance with accents inspired by mother earth.
Munthe plus Simonsen
Optimistically set on the charming cobblestone street, Grønnegade, French-braided models smiled as they paraded down the interim grass strip in the rain. Playful, light, and fun best describes the collection, alluding to an tribal-indian inspiration with feather earrings and floral brocades. Thanks to a faithful audience and stoic bundle of models, the show was a success in spite of the dreary Danish weather.

The short romper jumpsuit has grown up. No longer just for playdates at the playground. Now available in sophisticated styles and sizes for grown ups, the summer romper is one way to keep cool and maintain your style credibility. Honed in fabrics like silk, knit and linen these delicate little short jumpsuits look very pretty dressed up with a pair of ankle tie wedge espadrilles.
We spotted a few short romper jumpsuits and are coveting them as our go-to summer uniform. Haven’s ‘Amy’ silk print romper embraces a subtle ethnic tonal print with a blouse effect and tie waist. Pair it with an eye-catching pair of beaded wedge espadrilles. Emblazoned with the signature zigzag pattern the Missoni Fortaleza woven jumpsuit indulges our search for “La Dolce Vita” with a spaghetti strap tank and flowing shorts. The Missoni jumpsuit is perfect for a bikini cover up or night on the town. Twin the Missoni jumpsuit is a pair of Louboutin light blue ankle tie espadrilles. Elizabeth and James’ black silk summer romper will be the urban girl’s best friend. A decidedly daring jumper for the perfect downtown look. Don a pair of black caged sandals or beach-ify the look with a pair of black ankle tie espadrilles. Alexander Wang’s edgy zipper-embellished silk short romper is made even cooler with a graphic marble print. Pair the oversized short jumpsuit with a pair of pretty lavender hued Louboutin espadrilles.

I really like the idea of jumpsuits, however on petite frames (like yours truly) they’re reminiscent of wearing onesie childrens pajamas. The tank tops/shorts duo is much more manageable, hence I love this Brushed Abstract Jumpsuit, $22.80. The print is absolutely New York cool, and void of any heavy 80s references. Pair it with some chunky or skinny hoop earrings, a pendant necklace, and canvas platforms.
