i’m much overdue for some basic layering pieces for fall/winter, and to be honest, all of the offerings from my normal standbys (j.crew, gap, banana…) are leaving me yawning.

but a couple of weeks ago, i stumbled upon lulu’s closet, and now i know exactly what i need to rouse me out of my fall fashion slumber.  these jersey staples have classic styling with special touches that make them anything but dull – i love the big, flounced sleeves, impeccable draping, and cheeky details (check out the screenprinted sunglasses on the lucia top).  each piece manages to be classic and unique at the same time, which is exactly what i need right now.

the only potential catch:  this site is based in spain, and while they do ship to the US, i have not the faintest idea what the cost will be…but i’ll look into it and post back here.  still, even in euros, the prices are fantastic, and the styles are unique – i can’t wait to get a few of these beauties into my fall rotation.
