a bit o' bang for your buck

the buzz has been... well, buzzing for some time now about the Vena Cava collection for Aqua at Bloomingdales.  despite the fact that i can in no realistic format consider myself a "junior",  there are always a few pieces that i like, and can fully get away with wearing.  fear not - the junior collection does not HAVE to be off limits - as long as you are very honest with yourself about what you pick out.  case in point:  i have a really nice Aqua maxi dress that a lady at Bergdorf's  (in head to toe Chanel) told me was the prettiest maxi she had ever seen.

anyhoo, back to the point.  the super fun and hip design duo at Vena Cava is doing a collection for Aqua that debuts September 1.  word has been out on the style street for some time now, but FINALLY there was a presentation yesterday, and some good images to share.  the price point is well under their norm,  the highest price comes in around $300.   the fur vest is uber-cute and could go with pretty much every and anything in a gal's wardrobe.  my fave - and the absolute yes in the collection for me is the pleated skirt (you can just see it under the gorge blue peasant blouse...also a yes!)  LOVE the metal detailing on the waist band.  love, love, loves it.  and this sweet little dress/tunic (depending on your age, legs, and daring factors) is a keeper too.   so set your clocks and calendars dolls.... september's comin soon!!!
