A navy and white striped casual and very polished midi with a GORGEOUS fit. Drapes like a dream. Heft, substance and well made. It's very structured up top so you have to be okay with defining your torso and midsection. The length and asymmetrical hem are elegant and swooshy. Very comfy.The DOUBLE belt is NOT attached to the dress so you can place it where you like. Genius. The stripes of the belt go in different directions which is super cute. Looks great with simple flats. Machine washable. Impeccable.

STUNNING high-low maxi dress that earned a place in my wardrobe. It looks like a designer piece and absolutely WOWED me. It's well made and 100% bra-friendly. The eyelet is soft, and comfortable. Flattering, tailored, dramatic and very pretty. Love the defined waist. The sleeves are much shorter in person. The hem cannot be shortened easily, so by all means order petite. It runs a little big, but not too bad. The length is about three inches longer on me than on the model. The bottom two tiers of the skirt are not lined which adds visual lightness to the style. I'll be wearing it with white flats and a denim jacket when I need a topper. The white eyelet is just as gorgeous. 100% cotton and machine washable too.

A WOW casual lace dress. A modern classic casual Summer frock WITH LENGTH that looks gorgeously fresh amidst a sea of unstructured minis. The lace is soft and the dress is lined. The tailoring is gorgeous. Party at the back. The length cannot be hemmed, but petite lengths are an option. Best on a longer and defined waist, but can work on a straighter body type. A little tricky on a larger bust and short waist. It's an awfully pretty dress that has earned a place in my wardrobe in pink. I intend to wear it CASUALLY with flats. I don't like the way it's been styled with dressy heels here. Runs a size big so I need to have mine altered to fit. (Stocks are already low).

The diagonal stripes are playful and interesting, and the high neckline can work on a larger bust. It IS more of an empire cut and not suppose to sit on the waist unless you are very short-waisted. The asymmetrical hem is fun, and the fit is flattering, thereby narrowing at the torso and gliding over the bottom half of the body. Excellent camouflage for muffin top, and well suited to a curvy figure. This one followed me home.

A quality item with a Modern Retro flavour. The lacy eyelet is soft and crisp. The blue fabric is chambray. The fit is fluid yet streamlined. Covered yet breezy. Best on a longer neck and smaller bust. This pretty little darling earned a place in my wardrobe and is magical with white cropped straight jeans. I tried the version in white but felt like Little Bo Peep. I vote blue.

Impeccable quality CASUAL shirt dress with side entry pockets. It's fluid on the waist but structured on the shoulder and hips. Perfect for a hot Summer's day. As fun worn as a tunic over cropped straights. Best on a straighter figure, narrower hip, or apple-shaped body type. Can work well on a larger bust. Goes up to a US18. Comes in regular and long, AND in blue gingham. The red is a shade of watermelon. I love this happy and very crisp Summer dress, and don't mind one bit that I look like a Modern Retro tablecloth when wearing it.

Best hectic architectural shirt I've seen to date. Gorgeous shade of blue. Beats most of the designer styles to my eye, and much more affordable. Oversized, yet tapered in all the right places which adds just enough structure. It's not overwhelming, even on my slight frame. It earned a place in my wardrobe despite the wide neck because the cut is BRILLIANT. The collar that drapes down the back is cleverly positioned, and my chunky pearls fill in the gap on my neck. I like it best semi-tucked for structure. I wear it with Summer skirts and white jeans. I LOVE this shirt. My wild card for the season. Party at the back, and good with short hair to showcase the back detailing.

If you don't like stiff Tomboy denim jackets - TRY THIS ONE. It's extremely soft, comfortable, and has a lot of stretch. Very tailored and quite sharp in silhouette. FLATTERING. The fit is fabulously streamlined despite the subtle peplum. It's longer in person than on the model, so don't worry about that too much. Every client who has tried it on so far has liked it. It works on a range of body types because it's tailored and moulds to the body. It can absolutely pass for business casual because you have to look very closely to notice that it's denim. Plus, you can dress it up. Fab with pants, jeans, skirts and dresses. It's uniqueness and my love for denim jackets gave it a spot in my wardrobe.

A tailored and short denim jacket with embellishment is a nice update for Team Denim Jacket. Although the embellishment is trendy, the fit is modern classic which makes the look go the distance. Works on various body types. Soft and stretchy. The embroidery is stitched with care and precision.

The best white jeans of the season because they look like JEANS - not leggings. Fabric is quite thick. Not too stretchy. Crisp. Not too soft. NOT body-con. Not see-through. Nice pocket linings. Don't suck the living daylights out of you. Plenty of room on the calves. Run TTS unless you're narrow on the hips and thighs, in which case you could size down. They fit me tighter and shorter than on the model. They earned a place in my wardrobe, and I'm thrilled with them.

A stunning length skirt that looks awfully elegant and pretty. Can work on a straighter and curvier body type. Lightweight and Summery. The lace is soft and looks like a stained glass window. Turquoise is rare in fashion these days, so the skirt has my attention. I'm deciding whether it will earn a place in my skirt capsule.

This is a GREAT tailored knit top. Flattering, tailored, comfortable, crisp and easy to launder. It’s more like a very light pullover than a tee. Much neater, dressier, and more pulled together than a T-shirt. The fabric is substantial and not clingy. Excellent sleeve length. Layers beautifully under jackets, but looks good on it’s own because of the shine and substantial fabric, and good fit. The boat neck is surprisingly bra-friendly. Unfortunately the size range is disappointing since it comes in two sizes only. The XS/S will fit a US0 to 4, and the M/L will fit a US4 to 8. It runs true to size, and works well on a straight on curvier body type. It’s long, so not good on petites and short waists unless it’s hemmed to a shorter length. Don't try the top if you're self conscious about your mid-section. I don’t wear T-shirts and stick to blouses, shirts and and knitwear for tops. Very occasionally, I’ll find a knit top that ticks all the boxes, and this one did just that. I bought the white and the stripe to wear with jeans and Summer skirts both untucked and semi-tucked. The neckline works well with my pearl necklaces. I love the subtle shine and the tailored fit. The XS/S fits more fluidly on me than the fit on the model. All the colours are nice.

I like the look of trendy mules, but they fell off my feet and would make a loud “clucking” sound no matter how many styles I tried. Then I tried these in a narrow size in white and I FINALLY have mules that stay on my feet. The style of the mule encloses more of the foot which makes them feel more secure. They don’t “cluck”, and are soft and cushioning.

Every so often, the more affordable Franco Sarto brand makes a high-quality and comfortable shoe that puts designer footwear to shame. These loafers in the SOLID LEATHER - not the perforated leather - give Salvatore Ferragamo loafers a run for their money. Low volume feet need to size down half a size. Elegant and chic on the foot. I have them in white and tomato red.

These are SUBLIMELY comfy, and come in three widths. I bought them in a narrow and they are a perfect width. Not too flat, super soft and quite pretty on the foot in a boho huarache way. White all the way, if you're after a pretty look. The tan are more boho.

A Summery scarf made of a perfectly crisp, crinkled cotton. The tassels are more grey in person. I didn't like how tassel-heavy the scarf was, so I hacked off every other tassel, and now it's more suited to my style. LOVE the citron, and complements a citron bag. It's bulky though, so consider yourself warned. Available in turquoise in stores.

A Modern Retro beauty. Large face with delicate strap. Beautifully made and unique. Swiss parts and made in Detroit, Michigan. Comes in four metals. Read the rave reviews.
