Spring Fashion Find with Sail to Sable

Spring Fashion Finds for Mother's Day and Beyond

Spring Fashion Finds.  Today I want to share one of my absolute favorite finds this Season.  The Sail to Sable Collection of Dresses and Tunics. 

This season I discovered fell head over heels for Sail to Sable!  This whimsical and nautical style a favorite for Spring 2013! These dresses and tunics can be layered with a cardigan or leggings.  They are fun and comfortable all at once.  

Here I am wearing this Sail to Sable to Church in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina. I love the classic look and details.  The red and white are perfect for Spring and Summer.  Here I paired it with a red cardigan for a perfect Spring look.  Ballet flats were a great mix with this traditional dress.

Mother's Day and Spring are a perfect time to step up your fashion for the season.  I love new looks that Sail to Sable has in its Collections.  It is such a comfortable dress. It was ideal for lunch al fresco on the water.

Lunch al fresco Charleston 

"Raised by the water in Darien, Connecticut, Founder, Jennifer grew up visiting the beaches down the East Coast. With a love for warm weather, this collection is inspired by stripes, salty water, coral, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, bright and bold fabrics, and all things summer.

In its fourth season, Sail to Sable refers to the Easternmost and Southernmost spots on the Eastern Seaboard: Sail Rock, Maine and Cape Sable, Florida. The Sail to Sable collection is chic meets preppy and includes the classic tunic dress, light-weight cover up tunics, fabulous maxi tunic dresses and the flirty party tunic dress. The line is easy to mix and match with coordinating prints, bright colors, bold trim and stripes."

These are the cutest Summer Fashion Finds ever.  I love the preppy Blue and Green as well as the Classic Pink and White.

My dress is a dressy enough for Church and casual enough for Lunch outdoors or a simple walk on the Battery in Charleston where you meet the Antebellums Picnicking.  We had to join the fun and capture the moment.

Isn't this perfect.

Fresh Produce Clothing, Dresses and Giveaway

Fashion Friday: Mom Fashion 


An Affair of the Heart, Mind & Fun. 

Fresh Produce!

Let me tell you a Fresh Produce story.  Cir. 1992.  Travel with me to the Rocky Mountains front range area and then to Boulder, Colorado.  After college, I had moved from New Orleans to Colorado to learn to ski and really to take a break from city life in NOLA. 

In those early years of wonderment of the beautiful Rocky Mountains and the Front Range setting of the Denver area and Boulder, Colorado, I fell in love with the beautiful area of the country and all it offered whether it be a new hiking trail, a beautiful mountain top sunset, or a company with fun tee shirt graphics made of fruit! 

From the first glimpse of Fresh Produce there in Boulder - I fell in love with this comfortable and fashionable fabric! They have awesome quality Layering tank tops and Beach clothing!!

So naturally guess what went into my trousseau with me to Bermuda! for our Honeymoon!  Yes!  Look at my awesome Pink Fish Dress from FP 1998!!!  Love it, still wear it! :) 

Now, enter the most up-to-date version Cir. 2011!  I am in love with the brand - still! 

Fresh Produce is wonderful and comfortable and beautiful all in one!  Look at these amazing fashions. They have progressed with the times since 1984 and yes, they are MADE IN THE USA!!  I hope they keep this up!  It is awesome! 

Mary Ellen! Fresh Produce's Hip Sister!  I love this side of the brand. 

This Women's tunic is a great style right now!   The Rio Inspired Tunic in Sunrise!  I love this piece! 

It is very versatile and comfortable! And pretty! 

Another absolute favorite and most flexible is this Cape Cod Sunshine Dress in Vanilla!  This dress is
