Consider the Bell Sleeve top by Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati – This top features a beautiful black and fuscia filigree pattern with a wide solid fuscia accenting the narrow v neck.  True to its name the top features wide bell like sleeves that flare at the bottom of the sleeve.   Of course the signature nylon mesh fabric makes this top feel lightweight and comfortable.

For a great spring or summer top take a look at the Cap Sleeve Ruched Top by Sweet Pea.  This top features ruched or gathered fabric around the center of the bust in this top.  With a great element of contrast featuring a red contrasting fabric at the base of the v neck, this top incorporates lovely feminine touches.  We love the airy cap sleeve and the adorable navy nylon mesh fabric with a cute modern polka dot pattern.

Alternatively consider a great Sweet Pea tank for this summer.  Consider the Surplice V Neck Tank Top which we have in a couple of patterns the Wilma or the Felix.  The Wilma pattern features an ivory background with a dotted circle pattern in purple, teal blue and green pattern.  With purple accents around the neckline, we love the deep v neck look of the surplice neckline.  Alternatively, the Felix pattern features an elegant yellow background with a floral pattern featuring some flowers in sky blue and orange.  All of the flowers are outlined in black and of course the pattern also features a black accent around the neckline.

These are a few illustrations of how versatile and feminine the Sweet Pea line actually is.  Here are three tops that can be worn in a variety of different ways and in a variety of different temperatures.  We love layering the Sweet Pea tank under a blazer for a work meeting or wearing the Long Sleeve top with a cute skirt and boots during the winter.  In short, there are endless options for you to utilize a few great Sweet Pea tops in your wardrobe.

One of the other great things about the Sweet Pea line is that the styles are also extremely flattering.  Many of the classic Sweet Pea styles include fluid sleeves, often with feminine details such as a slit down the shoulder or a ruffle sleeve.  Another frequent detail is contrasting colors for the lining of the top.  Stacy Frati frequently plays with these contrasting colors and often has a contrasting hem on many tops. Sweet Pea styles also frequently include women’s blouses which feature great feminine styles including empire waists which often flair at the waist or ruching.  Alternatively, many styles also include more fitted styles featuring scoop necks or contrasting colors or patterns on the hem or sleeves.   Sweet Pea also frequently has great maxi dresses and sexy tank tops.   Designer Stacy Frati always makes sure to include lots of ruffles and feminine touches.   Sweet Pea’s fabric is distinctive too and is extremely comfortable and easy to wear.  It is relatively wrinkle free compared to traditional cottons and is still washable, although a tad more delicate than your basic cottons.

In today’s current market, Sweet Pea also stands out as a great line with extreme versatility.  It works well for the casual weekend and also is classy enough to wear at the office or dressy enough for a night out.  This versatility makes Sweet Pea’s women’s blouses a great buy when your clothing budget is tapped out which we all can appreciate in the current economy.

Of course this plenty of celebrity buzz about the Sweet Pea line too.  The Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati line has been featured on a variety of celebrities including the likes of Kate Hudson, Keri Russell, and Bonnie Hunt to name a few.    In short, we love Sweet Pea women’s blouses because they are truly great versatile pieces that work well for the everyday girl and the celebrity in all of us.  You really can have a flattering feminine style with exciting patterns and contrasting details that will make each of these tops statement pieces in your wardrobe for all facets of your life while still being easy to wear.

Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer.

First is this lovely feminine Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. I am loving the neckline, the super soft and drapey material and this perfect for all gray/purple color. The detail really draws the eyes up to your face, and highlights the collarbone.

Laurie B. Rumba Puff Sleeve Sweater

Knit designer and visionary Laurie B. is known for her high quality high fashion knitwear and this Laurie B. Rumba puff sleeve sweater wrap is probably my favorite design of hers.  This sweater snaps in the front for a completely separate look or it unsnaps to become the adorable wrap that is perfect for fall and early winter.  This sweater is also full of surprising details like the adorable pockets and puff sleeves.  This is also a super soft lightweight knit that can give you warmth but won’t overheat you. It really is perfect for any season.  A knit wrap like this can easily sell for around $200, but this week only at Vintage Fringe this puff sleeve cardigan is only $99.
