Try a fire engine red cap-sleeve dress by Shoshanna. Looking for something you can wear during the day, and spruce up at night? Try a classic black dress with ruffles paired with a blazer for daytime. At night, throw on some funky tights, bright colored shoes and some lipstick and you’re ready to party!
Totem Head on out to the ‘burbs and visit Totem, a hip boutique that carries everything from established designers like Susana Monaco to up-and-coming local labels like SERPICO. Want to make a statement at your next party? Slip into an electric pink Amora ruffled shift dress by Diane Von Furstenburg. For a modern take on menswear, throw on Rag and Bone’s sexy tuxedo wrap dress, add the perfect pair of heels and good to go.
