| Country
Road |
This was the first time I've ever
been in Country Road. Although they weren't selling any lemonade on the side of the road,
they do offer both wine while you browse, and subtle variations of the fashions found
everywhere else, in colors that are quite refreshing in the seas of lime, pinks, and
greys. |
|
 |
For example: this 50's style top
with three-fourths sleeves, I've seen numerous times at Ann Taylor and other retailers,
however Country Road features it in pea green, instead of lime. Made of cotton/lycra and
costs $78.00. |
|
|
| Another example is this
rayon/viscose tank in lake green, which is a nice alternative to black; $78.00. |
 |
|
|
 |
Next, are these rayon/viscose,
long-sleeved tops. They look like Missioni inspired in that the fabric consists of tiny
lines of pale green and white, blue-grey and white, or olive green and white. $59.99. |
|
|
| Then we have my personal favorite,
this linen/silk scarf. The two ends of the scarf are sheer, creating a Rothko effect that
I cannot resist; also $59.99. |
 |
|
|
 |
Finally, we have these ballet
slippers, which are, once again, a nice variation of what's "in style" these
days. They're leather, very soft, and have a decorative strap across the top with a little
buckle on the side. $118.00. |

| Bebe |
To be honest, Bebe really surprised
me. Although there were plenty of club/music video worthy items in the store, there were
also a lot of very interesting, strong and versatile pieces. |
|
| A prime example of which is this
apron top. Although it looks intimidating to get into, it has the show-off-the-back thing
down pat, without leaving you feeling too exposed. And when it gets colder, it'll also be
great to layer on top of, and underneath, other dresses, pants, and sweaters. $88.00. |
 |

Do you ever get that intense
feeling in your stomach when you know that something's going to fit, look, and feel right?
Well, that's what I got when I was trying on these black, hip-hugger pants. They're made
of viscose, nylon, and a bit of spandex, are thick enough to make you feel like you have
thighs of steel, but stretchy enough to let you dance as free as Madonna. $98.00. |
|
|
| Next, we have a pretty
mid-calf-length crochet dress in a sweet violet. Swinging beads and groovy
crochet…yea Bebe! I know, I know, but I had to do it, it was unavoidable. Seriously
though, this dress captures the free spirit of the 20's and the 60's, $128.00. |
 |
|
|
 |
Now, we have this criss-cross,
polyester, sleeveless top. Two layers of semi-sheer panels of black fabric join together
in the name of decency; $59.00. |
|
|
| Last but not least, is this long
skirt made of cotton/spandex. The fabric is so thin, you barely feel it's there, and the
bottom is not straight, but is curved. But that's not all, the back curve is longer that
the front; $89.00. |
 |
|
|
Well, that's all folks. Until
September, keep cool and enjoy. |
