So…I’m super-excited about this! Refinery29 is creating exclusive Reserve landing pages for Grechen’s Closet readers, that will take you directly to my favorite deals of the week + a look at my featured “what to buy” for the specific deal. Like this for Steven Alan:

See, there I am! And since I’ve been wanting to try Steven Alan for EVER, I’m totally getting this deal. And I’ll probably use it on the Mirabelle dress; I am serious about it being perfect. I just hope it’s not TOO cling-y.
Stay tuned next week for more Refinery29 Reserve favorites. I can’t tell you about the deals yet, but they are AMAZING. One in particular I KNOW you will want to buy! Trust me.

LOVE this Mirabelle pullover by Steven Alan – it’s a bit Isabel Marant-ish without the super-premium price tag. And it seems to be more of a sweater than a tee-shirt.

I never thought I’d miss Summer in Texas…but the 70+ degree days this weekend had me dreaming of warmer weather, dresses & sandals. Then I got the Steven Alan e-mail announcing the new Spring collection and fell hard for this dress:

Steven Alan Dress
Lillian Crowe necklace
Chloe Sandals
Jas M.B. bag – I saw this in person at Barney’s Co-op over the weekend, along with several more new season bags. It is TO DIE FOR. It’s small, but just what you need when it’s 100 degrees out…
What are you dreaming of for Summer?
