Nice to Pleat You

Halston Heritage pleated silk-chiffon dress $435

Ever since last February when Meghan and I were gallivanting around NYC for Fashion Week, I’ve had my eye on a certain Halston Heritage dress (similar to the one SJP wore to The Met’s Costume Institute Gala back in May.) I saw it in the window of Scoop and literally fell in love. Perhaps because of its retro style or because it just looked like so much fun to dance in….

But here we are months later and though I don’t think I can justify the dress, it’s led me to want a skirt of a similar style for fall. I tried on the Vena Cava for Aqua accordion pleat skirt that was almost spot on, but at the last minute decided against it.

Here are a few of my other favorites…hopefully one of which will soon be hanging in my closet…

Vena Cava teams up with Aqua

By on August 18, 2010 in Clothes, Designers, Fashion, Shopping, Style, Trends

It’s no secret that Bloomingdales is one of my favorite stores….just one look at what I charge on my Bloomies card and you’ll get an idea. The Aqua brand made exclusively for the store is always on-point with the latest trends and pieces at an affordable price. Soon the Aqua brand will debut pieces designed by the quirky pair behind Vena Cava.

On September 1, the collection will be available at Bloomingdales across the country and online – we can’t wait to get our hands on these pieces. The collection includes a good mix of skirts, tops and dresses that are reasonably priced (more expensive than normal Aqua duds, but cheaper than the main Vena Cava line). We can’t wait to get our hands on the accordion pleated skirt and the silk chiffon ruffle dress….both have a perfect blend of fall trends and feminine touches.
