Summer event dressing

There are several dressy functions happening in the next few weeks here in southeastern Michigan. J Mendel is the perfect solution for the woman who wants to make a fashionable yet subtle statement. The number above is a perfect example. It can go so many places in a wardrobe. Sorry, my iPhone is not doing the colors any justice here.

I met Gilles last year at a client event and he is the most charming and delightful man. One small fact: I read that Mendel started making ready to wear after putting basic silk shifts in his store window to deter PETA protesters who took issue with Mendel's fur business.

Other looks from his Spring 2010 collection. Most we have in our store.
