California Dreaming at Emerson Fry

When it comes to shopping for each new season, if you snooze you lose.  I've learned this lesson the hard way by missing out on quite a few pieces so now I shop early...and often.  The new Emerson Fry Spring 2013 Collection just went online today and the sunny California vibe is is welcome respite from the cold rain in New York today. I already bought the black silk Bib Shirt Dress and if it looks good when it arrives, I may have to buy it in white as well. Happy Shopping!

Now that the Fall 2013 shows are almost upon us, I wonder what will prevail as a predominant theme.  For Spring 2013, it was lots of black and white and stripes.  I actually started a black and white stripes folder of images but never used them. It the perfect jumping off point for this post to get you in the mood for a graphic spring.
