The Maggie Meticulously crafted in a soft, lightweight (and stunning!) suede fabric, The Maggie is our go-to transitional look. Not only is the color perfect for the approach of spring, but this head-turning mini can easily be worn with pumps on a mild day or paired with tights and booties for those last few days of winter.   SHOP THE MAGGIE  2. The Belle This eye-catching little black dress is the perfect option year round. In the cooler temps, we love pairing it with arm length gloves (included with purchase), tights and platform pumps - you can even throw on your favorite floor length jacket or sweater to make it your own. But, this dress is versatile - wear it with your favorite open-toe pumps for a night on the town or an upcoming bachelorette party. However you style it, you're sure to be best dressed in The Belle.   SHOP THE BELLE 3. The Carolina Our best seller, The Carolina, is the ultimate transitional piece. We saw it beautifully styled this winter for holiday parties and trips to NYC, and now we're seeing it seamlessly transition into spring looks. This staple romper is made of the perfect tweed fabric, tapered from a classic padded shoulder sleeve into a shorter hemline. We're breaking out The Carolina for our spring girls' night out, dinners on spring vacation, and even as our Sunday best on Easter! SHOP THE CAROLINA 4. The Jo We took the classic blazer dress and elevated it into something special - The Jo. This staple can be worn year round, and we love seeing our clientele dressed in our original design for events of all kinds (GNO, date night, birthday parties, soirees). The lightweight tulle complements the wired deep-V neckline and adds an element of sexiness to this long-sleeved mini. No matter the season, you'll exude elegance and confidence in The Jo SHOP THE JO 5. The Rose What better way to ring in spring than with The Rose? The subtle suede fabric and long sleeves balance the shorter hemline and classy bodice cutout. And, true to its name, the hand-sewn metallic Rosette leads way to a stunning front train that will have everyone complimenting your look. We love to opt for The Rose for galas, celebrations, and any occasion that calls for an absolutely stunning dress. SHOP THE ROSE Want more looks that will set you apart from the crowd?
