You'll love the 525 America ruffle tank dress in flirty retro inspired navy polk dot print. The perfect summer dress, I love the navy and the tiered ruffle front neckline. This 525 America dress is a wonderful versaltile dress and can easily be worn to a picnic or throw a little sweater over it and wear it to work.

"They're small things, but when you add them up, they become much larger," said Connor.  "Any small business can use these tips and help the environment."

Asymmetry, the new essential… at Lotus Boutique for Spring/Summer 2010! Asymmetry has emerged as the hot new trend this season – and has made a grand entrance as a wardrobe must-have for spring and summer! Last time around, this popular trend was seen only in the neckline of the classic one-shoulder top. This season, asymmetry has taken on a whole different meaning. Using the traditional look for inspiration, modern, unbalanced lines are showing up as sleeve styles, necklines, hemlines and in structured draping.

This summer Testament brings feminine and flirty to another level. In addition to their classic florals and burnout patterns, Testament is making a statement this season with the introduction of stripes and tribal prints like the Testament Shani Cardigan. With the addition of new silhouettes, trims and fabrics, Testament’s spring/summer 2010 collection is light and airy, with a feminine flare.

Ecru is a new fashion brand that is fast becoming an important presence in the marketplace and in the closets of stylish women everywhere. Ecru started with one pant….the “Beck” trouser in their exclusive double stretch fabric. Once women tried these clean, mod

ern but sexy pants on, they were hooked. Ecru quickly established itself and developed a following among fashion-aware women.

The ruffle trend remains strong and continues into spring 2010 and 525 America hits it just right adding this feminine detail in all the right places. I love the 525 America smocked bottom camisole available in red and in purple, these vibrant hues are irresistible and a fabulous layering piece under any of 525 America’s cardigans or jackets. For spring 525 America also did the ruffle top on a dress adding a smocked waist and in a navy with polka dot fabric this dress has a retro feel with a modern silhouette. 525 America cardigans are always a top seller as they are wearable, washable, and affordable. This spring 525 America updates their classic crew cardigan adding bezel set gem buttons which add subtle decoration to this every day, wear all the time sweater. The preppy boyfriend cardigan for spring is available in mediterranean blue and looks great layered over the floral camisole for any easy, fun look that goes back to endless choices for bottoms.
