Earth Day Should Be Everyday!

Even though Earth Day was yesterday, we at SHE wanted to feature it TODAY... because Going Green and being environmentally conscious and friendly should be a daily activity, not just one day of the year.

Here are some of our favorite Green pieces at SHE!

This leafy cropped kimono jacket is a piece from one of our exclusive collections. Andy Osafo's designs for Kwabena Klassics are all one-of-a-kind pieces by the self taught and mastered designer!

Aaron Ashe's Track Dress in "Grass" is an easy-throw-on tank dress that doesn't need much styling at all. Add on a couple bangles and a cognac/brown bag with gladiator sandals, and you are set for the day.

There are NO words to describe how amazing Chris Benz's Doris Party Skirt is. Pleated at the waistline, this full skirt is the ultimate party silhouette.



Last but certainly not least, By Malene Birger's Buzenval Silk Trim Dress. Multi-wear bubble dress with silk trim detailing!



Get Your Green On!

Taylor Swift Graces the Stage in Contrarian!


Taylor Swift graced the stage during Brooks & Dunn's The Last Rodeo Show in Las Vegas in Contrarian's Bibb Dress!

Contrarian started out as a capsule collection by local mother-daughter duo Barbara and Alexis Laken. Barbara travels to New York twice a month to meet with Alexis, a New York stylist, to work on Contrarian's patterns, sketches, and find luxurious fabrics for their designs.

The Lakens are proud to have Contrarian be 100% American made and produced in New York. Each piece of Contrarian's collection is under $500.

Taylor's Contrarian Bibb Dress is available at SHE in black, but we are also taking special orders for Taylor's lavender version!

SHE's Participating in Gene Therapy!

The Chicago Center for Jewish Genetics Disorders has organized "Jean Therapy" to raise awareness of genetics and family health history.

Spread the "Jean Therapy" word and receive 20% off ALL denim purchases at a number of Chicago locations, including SHE, on Thursday April 22 through Sunday April 25.

The bookmark is below, but for those of us who don't have great vision, here's all the info!

"Understanding genetics is an important part of taking care of your health, but it may not be top of your priority list. Jean Therapy makes it easy for you to get the information you need by introducing you to genetics and family health history while you expand your wardrobe.

We inherit many things from our family, much of which is passed down through our genes. By familiarizing yourself with your risks, you can make informed decisions about your own health. And with recent advances in medical technology, there are more options available than ever before to help you prevent disease. You, your partner, and your future family will greatly benefit if you feel as good in your genes as you look in your jeans!

Feel good in your genes!
Resources are available to help you find more information about family history and genetics.

Knowledge is the key to prevention...

We all carry changes in our genes that can lead to disease. Some genetic changes are enough to cause disease all by themselves; for example, cystic fibrosis is caused by inheriting a particular genetic mutation from both parents. Other diseases, such as certain cancers, can be associated with a combination of one or more genetic mutations and other factors, such as environmental exposures.

Many racial and ethnic groups have "their own" genetic disorders - disorders which are not unique to the group, but which are more common in individuals from that ethnic background. Consider learning more about your ethnicity, the disorders that are more common among your group, and the counseling and screening options available to you."

All of this information and more can be found at www.jewishgenetics.org/jeans.






BE SAFE AND HEALTHY!

THE FURIES


What exactly is the Korff Kounsil you might ask??? We were wondering the same thing.

Rikke Korff, the former designer for Levi's Red and Levi's Vintage clothing, and the Korff Kounsil are the trendsetters behind the up and coming T shirt craze which launched this Spring, THE FURIES. 

The Furies is an unconventional approach to the typical jersey tee shirts and jersey bottoms that are on the market. Simple palette tee shirts with graphics and prints, cool cutouts, and interesting silhouettes make up this season's collection. 

Pieces from Spring 2010's The Furies collection at SHE can be found at:

Drew Barrymore LOVES T by Alexander Wang


While browsing one of our favorite celebrity sites, we came across Drew Barrymore wearing T by Alexander Wang! This cropped top is one of my personal favorites from the collection that we have gotten so far. Everyday easy tops that can be paired with jeans, shorts, trousers, and a pair of flats. COUNT ME IN!
The Ribbed Long Sleeved grey and white striped crop top reminds me of a nautical influence, but without the blue and white cruise-boat intoxication. Wear with a Kain cami underneath and a pair of white skinny jeans. LOVE IT.
The Panelled Tank has a cropped hemline in the front and an extended one in the back. contrasting striped panels on the sides gives it a cool depth and shape.

Katie Simone Nehra's Simone Collection at SHE!

Los Angeles actress Katie Simone Nehra has starred in a number of New York productions including John Patrick Stanley's Sailor Song & Eric Bogosian 1+1. You can spot Katie in films such as Red Angel & Opposite Fisher Stevens. Katie has even recently finished her very own screenplay, "A Dirty Love Story," in which she will star as the role of Lily.

So where did the Simone Collection come into play?! In 2006 Katie created Simone, a simple dress collection named after each of her best friends. Dresses that they all wished and dreamed of wearing, but could never find.

"If you happen to be wearing Simone, Katie hopes you are having a fantastic time!"

Check out the collection at SHE as well as on www.simonecollection.com!

The fabric is to die for, structured and ultra feminine, beautiful crystals peep out at the bust.

This silk blouse is a great piece that can give your casual ensemble a dressier flare for a night out to dinner, or be the perfect top for the pencil skirt to the fancy party you are attending this weekend.

Take the Pegnoir Top, add a skirt and some lace, and Voilà!
