Look Linger Love

Today Gap Inc. announced that they will be shutting down Piperlime. This not only shocks me but saddens me as well. I’ve been a fan of the site for years (it opened in 2006). I’ve especially loved Olivia Palermo’s Edit with all of her top picks. It will remain open through April and then Gap Inc plans to focus on boosting sales for it’s namesake as well as Banana Republic (y’all know Marissa Webb is BR’s new creative director).

Regardless, Piperlime is still receiving new spring shipments and continues to have amazing sales (which we can expect to see more of). Here are some of my favorite current pieces in their collection.

blue dress, blue sandals, clutch, cobalt skirt,

sheer stripe top, sunglasses, wrap dress, espadrilles,

floral skirt, scallop flats, teal tee, caged dress

That black & white wrap dress is so very DFV but only $89. Love the little scallop flats, too. I’ve always appreciated Piperlime’s feminine and youthful aesthetic.

Update: Take 25% off all full priced items!

Just quickly popping in to let you know that Shopbop just launched a fashion finds under $200 shop. Yep.

plaid top, striped shorts, plaid tank,

sandals, flounce skirt, cambridge satchel,

pleated sweater dress, stripe dress, stripe skirt

See all of their favorite under $200 picks right here.

Another day, another collage of lady things. Because that’s what we do around here.

floral coverup, pink bag, black shorts, bra,

sunglasses, heart heels, bucket bag, wink clutch,

stripe top, cream top + skirt, pink dress (more colors here)

I have that Spanx all around bra and love it – great for everyday and for minimizing. How fun is that pom pom bucket bag? And I want to try on that pink dress, looks very flattering. Oh oh and that exaggerated turtleneck top!! Love the drama it adds to a simple stripe crop top.

Just a few things this Wednesday morning. Let’s all ogle that eyelash sweater.

linen jacket, elephant bowl, stripe dress,

sandals, denim jumpsuit, knot bag,

drawstring tunic, eyelash sweater, a line dress

That BB Dakota linen jacket is such a cool buy. And aren’t those Dolce Vita sandals gorgeous? Freaking fun denim jumpsuit. And that Loewe knot bag is what dreams are made of.

I’m finding this story that Greatist published totally fascinating. They took a closer look at body ideals over the last 100 years and the results are crazy. Take a look.

Goes to show that “body ideals” are trendy and that you should just love and embrace what your momma gave ya. But really, a bread diet?? Also, now I’ll be singing ZZ Top in my dreams tonight.
