stella jean

It's pretty rare that I'm swept off my feet by a collection. That makes me sound kind of snobby I know. What I mean is it's rare that I'm crazy about a collection all across the board. Usually I'll just be drawn to a specific element, a few looks, or maybe the color palette or shapes used. When I stumbled across the  s/s 2012 Stella Jean collection I was truly impressed by every look though. I found the textiles to be fresh and exciting; it kind of reminded me of J. Crew but with a more traveled/global vibe. I also loved the way the button down collar shirt ran throughout the collection; I always appreciate when new life is breathed into a classic. Check out the rest of the collection here.
