When I think of summer, I think of dresses. There’s something about the sunshine and the warm breezes that makes me want to wear something free-flowing and feminine. This is definitely my girliest time of year.  And I may be making this up, but I really believe that dresses are probably the most comfortable thing to wear when the temperature soars to an unbearable degree. Whether long or short, strapless, tank, or with a little sleeve, a dress is probably the quickest way to get out of the house and on with your errands or to an event, looking pretty and put together. This summer, Susana Monaco, Three Dots, and Michael Stars have some of our favorite dress styles, perfect for just about any occasion you can imagine, from barbecue to wedding.

Citizens of Humanity Avedon Slick Skinny

Citizens of Humanity Avedon Slick Skinny

We can’t even begin to tell you about how difficult our customers have made it for us to keep the Citizens of Humanity Avedon Slick Skinny in stock! Without a doubt, this jean has been one of the most popular styles we’ve ever seen here at Shop LA Style, and was a best seller since the first day it arrived. This super stretchy 10.5oz stretch denim is a wonder,  feels like a thick legging, can be worn with absolutely everything and is a favorite of the Kardashian sisters. If you missed out before, they’re back in the super black Star wash, with most sizes available.

Susana Monaco Supplex Boot Cut Pant in Black

Susana Monaco Supplex Boot Cut Pant

The Susana Monaco Supplex Boot Cut Pant is simply a great basic that can be worn with everything from an oxford and heels to a tee shirt and sneakers. The 86% nylon, 14% lycra fabrication is comfortable and keeps it’s shape, so you can lead an active lifestyle and still look great.

 

 

 

 

 

Splendid 1x1 Supima Modal Tank Top

 

Splendid 1×1 Supima Modal Tank Top

To round out our review of this week’s restocked basics, we have to take a look at a must-have from one of our favorite lines, Splendid. The 1×1 Tank Top is in super soft supima and modal is the perfect layer under sweaters and tees, and great to wear alone in warmer weather. We are constantly restocking basic colors such as black, white, heather grey, and navy, as well as adding fun seasonal colors.

Splendid 1x1 Long Sleeve Turtleneck in Navy

With extremely stormy weather conditions effecting most off the states and today marking the start of winter, we think it’s appropriate that this week’s #1 seller is the Splendid 1×1 Turtleneck. Our customers have been stocking up on this winter staple and we understand why. When it comes to no-nonsense cold weather dressing, a turtleneck is a must have, whether you like to wear it alone with jeans or slacks, or layer it under your favorite dresses and cardigans.

Twelfth St Cynthia Vincent One Shoulder Dress in Mauve

 

Cynthia Vincent One Shoulder Dress

The asymmetry and draping of this dress are two elements that appeal to the woman who wants to make a statement when she steps into the event. The gleam of the silk pleating at the shoulder contrasted against the matte of the bodice is an interesting play on texture, done perfectly in a delicate shade of mauve. The Cynthia Vincent One Shoulder Dress is the perfect balance of sophisticated and daring — perfect for the holiday party, wedding, or any other special event that you may be attending in the coming New Year.

Splendid Loose Racer Tank in Black

 

Splendid Loose Racer Tank

Splendid always offers great basics that are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe and live in all year long. The Loose Racer Tank is a wonderful example of the versatility that this well-loved brand offers within it’s line of extremely wearable and comfortable separates. Wear it under your favorite draped cardi or layer it over another tank to create a variety of looks. Thanks to an array of seasonal and basic colors, you’ll never get bored this style.

Splendid 1x1 Long Sleeve V Neck in Black

In the final full week of November, our customers found a new favorite in the Splendid 1×1 Long Sleeve V. We imagine that this comfortable basic was put to use as a much-needed second layer under cozy sweaters and cardis and paired with jeans, cargos, and cords for Thanksgiving visits with family and holiday shopping trips. Considering that last week’s #1 seller was the Splendid French Terry Sweat Pant, we suspect that some of you may have even put these two incredibly soft separates together for a comfortable, winning combination.

Splendid French Terry Sweat Pant in Military

This week’s #1 bestseller was one of Oprah’s Favorite Things a few years back and has remained a customer favorite season after season. If you’re a Splendid lover, you know exactly what it is! None other than the Splendid French Terry Sweat Pant. If you’re ready to get super cozy, we’ve got you covered in 9 colors and all sizes. Pick up a pair (or two!) for yourself and one for a friend — They make great gifts!

Splendid Lofty Cashmere Button Cardigan

Splendid Lofty Cashmere Button Cardigan in Heather Grey

We love the free flowing ease of our draped cardis and wraps by Splendid, but we can’t help but be drawn to the classic shape and structured style of this the Lofty Cashmere Button Cardigan.  There’s something so teacher’s pet about this double breasted number that calls out to our inner nerd, who by the way is very chic. Hot pink thread detail on the buttons adds a bit of playfulness and a much appreciated pop of color. Pair this 100% cashmere cardigan with a pencil skirt for a day at the office or with leggings on the weekend for A+ style.

Splendid Distressed Thermal Tunic in Sapphire

Splendid Distressed Thermal Tunic

The Splendid Distressed Thermal Tunic is just the thing to get cozy in. Just thinking of all of the chilly evenings and hectic Holiday shopping days ahead makes us want to pull on this super soft, casual tunic. The distressing, and exaggerated banded cuff (complete with thumb holes) will definitely bring a youthful edge to your basic jeans and boots combo. The Sapphire color is a more vibrant alternative to the versatile Caviar hue, which is a faded charcoal with navy stitching detail.

   

 

 

 

 

Splendid Double Face Hooded Jacket in Navy

 

  

  Splendid Double Face Hooded Jacket

Did we mention the chilly days ahead? The Splendid Double Face Hooded Jacket is just what we’ll be reaching for on the way out the door. Keep the cold out and warmth in with this cute double breasted style that features striped jersey lining and hood.

Splendid Thermal Henley in Coal

This week’s most popular item at Shop LA Style is the Splendid Thermal Henley! Our customers are big fans of this fall and winter staple from Splendid, and so are we. I personally own several Splendid henleys, and as anyone familiar with the brand will tell you, the fabrication is super soft, stretchy, and comfortable. This henley features a crew neck with 4 snaps in front, wide banded cuffs, and a rounded hem. The luxuriously soft feel and slim fit of the Splendid Thermal Henley makes it ideal to pair with Splendid Leggings or French Terry Sweat Pants to create the world’s most comfortable (and quite possibly, cutest) pajamas ever for the best night’s sleep. It’s also fantastic for layering under other garments for those chilly days when you need a bit of extra warmth, but with so many pretty colors to choose from, we doubt you’ll want to hide it under a sweater!

Don’t see the size you desperately need or the lovely color you’ve been pining for? Don’t worry! The Splendid Thermal Henley is in such high demand that we’re constantly replenishing sizes in our inventory and adding new colors!
