SOMETHING’S FISHY IN METROPOLIS!

Seriously?!

Who says you can’t take a fish for a walk? Certainly not Michal Shabtiali, the genius behind this ridiculous portable fishbowl. The shatterproof bowl is designed with a handle for those times when you need to take Goldie out on the town. Okay — Seriously?! Why on earth would anyone want to do this? You might as well announce to the world that you have no one else to hang out with! And, think of the poor fish with all that jostling around. What if you have to run to hail a cab? Let’s leave the quality outdoor pet walks to our four footed friends and let the fish swim in peace. Since we cannot find a place that sells this brilliant contraption, we are guessing that others agree!

KEEP YOUR SHIRT DRESS ON!

The Shirt Dress is One of Spring’s Most Versatile Pieces

By Bonny Osterhage

Every few years, the shirt dress experiences a return to the fashion forefront. We think that is because few other items are as versatile, especially during those tricky transitional months. Depending on the fabric, and your choice of accessories, the shirtdress can be preppy, sexy, or even a little edgy. Don’t believe one dress can be all things to all people? Check out these eco fashion finds and see for yourself !

Allison Parris Silk Shirt Dress

Oh-so-sexy, this silk shirt dress has a devil-may-care attitude, with its casually shirred sleeves. The sensuous material simply begs to be touched, as it brushes against the body. Not for the insecure, the asymmetrical hemline shows miles of leg, and should be played up with sky-high heels. Available in patterns or solids. $300 at
www.allison parris.com.

Barney’s New York Belted Shirt Dress

The shirt dress goes uptown in sophisticated dark gray organic cotton. The self-belt and slash pockets work together to create a tailored look that is best accompanied by a simple, yet stylish, pump. A wonderful work alternative to the suit. $765. At www.barneys.com.

Burning Torch Graphic Bouquet Dress

Yes, we know we just featured a tank dress with this print last week, but what can we say? We LOVE it! We especially love the way it adds springtime elegance to a classic silk shirt dress. So feminine and beautiful! $285 at www.burningtorchboutique.com.

Deux FM Lois Shirt Dress

This is the quintessential classic shirt dress that reminds us a bit of the “Dynasty” days. Made from a beautiful, flowing silk crepe de chine, it features long gathered sleeves that taper to a fitted cuff. Very ladylike and just plain pretty. The China Red version will definitely get you noticed. The black style is a great work LBD. ON SALE FOR $112 (normally $184) at www.nimli.com.

Eileen Fisher Classic Collar Shirt Dress

This casual shirt dress is smart in its simplicity and well-placed darts create flattering shaping in the front and back. The organic cotton creation is available in white, or (as shown) the season’s hottest shade of blue. ON SALE FOR $109 (normally $158) at www.eileenfisher.com..

Everyday or Eternal Eddie Shirt Dress

Easy, breezy, laid-back style is what the organic cotton Eddie is all about. Cute puffed sleeves and dropped waist pockets add interest to the fun, preppy style. Wear it to lunch, shopping, anywhere you want to look casually put together. Available in a bold black and white check (shown) and a light blue stripe. $106 at www.shopmoxsie.com. (The link doesn’t take you right to the dresses. The black and white is in the second row on the far right and the light blue stripe is in the first row, third one over. Just click the thumbnails for details.)

Jonano Bloom Energy Satin Double Sash Shirt Dress

We love the longer length and the fluttery sleeves of this bamboo shirt dress. Tailored, yet feminine, the Mandarin closure can be worn loose and open, or buttoned all the way up for a distinctly different look. Versatile enough to handle everything from the season’s wedges to cowboy boots, this is one dress that can accommodate your every fashion mood swing. $190 at www.nancysgonegreen.com.

NaturevsFuture Organic Cotton Rebel Dress

A mod take on a classic style and a NaturevsFuture classic, this 100% organic cotton dress gets all buttoned up in asymmetrical fashion. The look has been featured in Italian Vogue. $278 at www.naturevsfuture.com.

Organic by John Patrick Shirt Dress

Cute and casual, this checkered print shirt dress is weekend chic. Made from organic cotton, the pin tucks and box pleats keep it from looking like just an oversized shirt. Wear it alone with flats, or belt it over leggings or jeans. We predict it will become a spring staple. $265 at www.shopbop.com.

Rogan Innes Dress

Loose fitting and comfortable, this silk shirt dress is ideal for work or play. The large sleeves roll up for a casual feel while the single pocket and same style sash keep it looking crisp. The color is wonderful for spring, and we love the contrast on the inner collar. $288 at www.rogannyc.com.

WHO WEARS SHORT SHORTS? YOU!

Okay — we know it’s a bit early, but we wanted to give you a head’s up on a trend that you are going to see everywhere this summer. Ready? Brace yourself! Shorts are back and bigger than ever! By bigger, we don’t mean longer — ohhhh no! This season’s shorts are slouchy, but short. That means that if you’ve been a couch potato all winter, you’d better hit the gym asap, so you can wear something as fab as these silk Julianne shorts from OrangOrang. So sexy and sleek with a great pair of tanned gams. And now, thanks to us, you’ve still got a good three to four months to tone yours. Don’t say we’ve never done anything nice for you! $84 at www.orangorangproject.com. (The link doesn’t take you right to the shorts. You’ll need to scroll about halfway down the page.)

A DOGGONE GOOD NIGHT SLEEP

How can Fido possibly be expected to get that all-important rest he needs to bark at the mailman or chase his tail, when he sleeps on a plain old doggy bed? Ifyou really loved your pup, you would get him the Dogpedic Memory Foam Pet Cushion, which contours to the shape of his furry body for the ultimate support. Seriously?! These are animals that drink from the toilet — do you really think they care what their bed is made of? Chances are they are just going to sleep with you anyway, causing you to lose sleep over the $75 you just spent on his ultimate bed! $40-$60, plus shipping, at www.buydogpedic.com.
