The Label: Desperate to find comfy, stylish clothes to wear during her pregnancy in the early sixties, Parisian Sonia Rykiel decided to make some of her own. In 1968, she opened her own boutique on the Left Bank from which she hawked her covetable knits. The American press dubbed her the “Queen of Knits.” From there, she proceeded to invert seams, de-line looks, and add other non-precious, fun effects to her clothes, winning her a following among the fashion-forward folks. The Designer: Born in Paris in 1930, Sonia Rykiel had no formal design training except window dressing when she was a teenager. But in 1985, the French government showed its appreciation by awarding her the Legion d’Honneur. Today, her daughter Nathalie, who serves as the company’s creative director, infuses much of her mother’s cheekiness into the label—she added sex toys to the retail offerings at their freestanding stores.

    Daily Obsesh: Colors and Metallics

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Plain figure-hugging mini skirt is probably one of the favorite classic wears. It can be coordinated in different styles to make you classy, sexy, or cute. Our favorite pick is this Ruba Skirt from BCBGMAXAZRIA with a little bit of added spice and fun. The mix of bright and cheerful color bands and metallic stripes create a unique trendy look and make this skirt glow. Classy fit in a contemporary design helps to style a traditional yet creative look. On-seam hip pockets even adds functionality to this lovely skirt.

    Daily Obsesh: Colorful Prints

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Spring time weather is so inspiring and always makes it so fun to pick outfits. You can get creative with thin layers, vibrant colors, and crazy prints. That is exactly why we love this Printed Jersey Tunic from Donna Morgan. Combination of the color block with flower prints gives so much character to this dress. It can not get more interesting than the black, purple, and blue flowers on block of white, black, blue, and purple. Shift Silhouette and beaded round neckline adds classiness to this fun and spontaneous dress, making it a perfect contemporary spring time dress.
