off the rack: spring’s best tee

For all of you who loved the idea of that Eileen Fisher tee I was yammering on about last summer, but weren’t loving the oversized fit or the matching price tag, let me introduce what I think might be this spring’s best tee, from Calypso St. Barth:

Isabel v-neck & Jami crew neck tees, $65 each

It’s still not a bargain, but this is a tee I’ll live in, I can already tell. I nabbed one in navy yesterday, and am seriously considering heading back for a few backups while they’re on sale. It’s linen like the EF tee I love (I am fast becoming the world’s leading evangelist of linen tees), but with a considerably more trim (yet still relaxed) cut. It comes in a crew or v-neck style and a rainbow of colors, and clocks in at $65, a steal compared to its pricier big sister.

Oh, and if you want to buy yourself a whole drawer full, do it before 3.31 – they’re doing a spend/save promo that will get you $50 off $200. Use code SPR2013FB online, or show this coupon in-store.

line to love: augden new york

Even though I’m still hoping for spring, I can never resist the lure of a cozy sweater.  Augden is a new designer on my radar, and their goods just launched online!  I’ve been anxious to share – they’re the perfect piece for a weekend throw-on, and would be ideal in any spring vacation suitcase, don’t you agree?

I’m just crazy for these designs – they feel so special and carefully crafted.  I love the bright colors in the Navajo-inspired cardigans, and that fisherman’s sweater is such a unique take on a timeless style.  Can’t you just see yourself wearing it with cuffed jean shorts on a beach somewhere, without a care in the world?

You can buy a few of their pieces on their website (be sure to check out the “Shop Gossip Girl” link to see that yummy wrap cardigan, above, which was featured…well, you know), or on Calypso St. Barth, a perennial favorite of mine.  Pricing is a little steep, mostly in the $300-400 range.  But these pieces are so special, I could definitely see myself taking the plunge.
