Express Color

Without a doubt, I am under the influence of the Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2010 Men's collection. All I want is color. Bright color.

I found these shirts at Express in two hot Summer shades: Cassis and Magenta. I plan on wearing them with Khaki, Olive or Dark Denim pants.

Tie Dye To Die For

While I am completely in love with these Bottega Veneta tie-dyed Spring/Summer 2010 runway scarves with their rich hippie vibe in delicate cashmere and silk, I can also appreciate a cheap alternative. We were visiting Eric's parents in Florida recently and the weather was just dreadful. So, the best alternative to the pool? The mall. We stumbled into Express where I spotted this colorful Women's scarf piled high in a lucite box on sale for $19.50 USD. All rayon and not as exquisite as the Bottega Veneta version, but nice enough for the few times I will wear it this Spring.

Want something more affordable? Newport News has this great look for less, and it's only $39!!


*Update - 11/18/09* - This post is actually from back in 2007 so the Newport News version is long gone. If you still think about owning the Joie version, Express has a great alternative (thank you to Jess for posting about this find!) for $59.50. It's also available in white/grey and you can click on the photo below to purchase.
