MAY'S FIVE EASY PIECES
LOCAL RETAILERS PICK THEIR FAVORITES
At THE FAMILY GROOVE, we say: "Think Global, GET IT Local." It's our mission to deliver
the
groove right to
your
doorstep—or computer screen, as it were. In TFG's global village,
local
stores share the stage with
national and
international ones. Each month TFG will
introduce
you to regional retailers who have got it going on.
1. The Top
Lisa Kline of her namesake celebrity hipster fashion enclave in Los Angeles, CA, loves this hip and oh-so wearable shirt.
“This top is so feminine and looks great with jeans or layered over a delicate cami. It's not too clingy and is very flattering.”
$98, Lisa Kline, 136 S. Robertson Boulevard., Los Angeles, CA

2. The Skirt
Pat Kline and Mary Lu Toms of the high-style Finishing Touches in Toronto, Ontario love this stylish and versatile skirt.
“This beaded ecru cotton voile skirt adds dramatic effect and highlights the waistband with black braiding detail. Dress it up with crisp white shirt or dress it down with a racer back tank top.”
$610, Finishing Touches, 3281 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario

3. The Dress
Candace Gwinn of the edgy and elegant Trashy Diva in New Orleans, LA, loves this sexy and sweet spring/summer frock.
“Lovely for formal afternoons and torrid mid-simmer temperatures, the Trixie dress is such an easy fit with its gathered elastic back and full circle skirt. The fabric is based on a striking vintage magenta floral print from the 1940s and the halter give it true vintage charm. This dress will take you anywhere, from a chic summer picnic to a night on the town.”
$270, Trashy Diva, 829 Chartres Street (in the French Quarter), New Orleans, LA

4. The Kiddie Accessory
Elizabeth Leu of the luxe lifestyle and kiddie couture store Lavish in San Francisco, CA, loves this chic baby blanket.
“I love everything from JakC designs (www.jakcdesigns.com). Jennifer Chee, the designer, is local to San Francisco. Her works is fabulous—we sell it like mad! I especially love these handmade, modern heirloom blankets— the super soft felted characters spark personality and sprout instant love. These eye catching blankets are a must have for every new baby—and parent.”
$66, Lavish, 540 Hayes Street, San Francisco, CA

5. The Maternity Dress
Emily Rosenberg of the super trendy Bella Belli Maternity loves this stunning summer dress.
“Floral prints are hot, hot, hot for spring and so is this red and crème printed St. Bart dress by Olian. It’s always important to look great when your body is rapidly changing. It's easy to put on your husbands old tees and feel frumpy, but you will no longer have to. This season’s hot new styles and bold prints can make you feel sexy again. You will certainly make heads turn in this dress while you flaunt that growing belly.”
$105, Bella Belli Maternity, 790 N. Old Woodward, Birmingham, MI
