welcome to elaney!

As you may’ve noticed, skirts and dresses have taken a turn for the tiny.  After whipping into a little roadside Tanger outlet yesterday on the way from the beach (btw, shopping while tan is like going to the grocery store hungry), we were shocked to discover that not a one skirt would fit into the Brookstone High School “no more than 3 inches above the knee” parameter.  Because we had been driving for four hours, listening to oldies with the sunroof open on a beautiful day, we decided to throw caution to the wind and just go for the short skirts.  However, fast forward to the present: back in the office, one day away from the sun lighter, and it might need to be said…if the skirt was not appropriate at 18, it might not be appropriate at 27.  However, it’s still pretty cute.  So help us ladies, what do you think about this new hiked up skirt trend?  Love it or hate it?

Friday morning…how we love the so.  You can just smell the potential in the air.  It’s like a class of Harvard freshman every week.  Fridays always make us feel a little fun and frivolous, and today if we could have a new item, this is what it would be!  Celebrate a happy Friday with us and let us know what’s top of your wishlist this top of the weekend.

Guess what readers, time to kiss the Destin outlet shopping extravaganza goodbye!  No more elbowing sunkissed 14 year olds wearing halter-tops and Rocketdogs to get to the latest ruffled top and cardigan ensemble.  As of today, J.Crew is now one of the first big brands to start selling it’s factory clothing online!  Gotta act now though, the site is only “open” Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (we think a cute marketing ploy).  Check it out!

Thanks for the tip Reader egray!
