Don’t make me over…

Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you’re enjoying your day with family and friends. Here at Josef we’ve actually been hoping for a makeover – a site makeover, and so we’re happy to announce the launch of our redesigned site! The new colors, logo, flourishes and nature friends are compliments of theforeststudio. Thank you Anna, we heart the new look and feel!
Have a great Sunday everyone.

Kudos to you who caught the Dionne Warwick reference. That one’s for you mom :)

Lucky Hope

Hope Greenberg, Fashion Director of Lucky Magazine, was featured last week in Luckymag.com’s Cute Outfit of the Day wearing the Soma Dress by Steven Alan. We love it too! She wears it with a leather jacket, black tights, flats and a scarf. This dress is fantastic because you can wear it in cooler weather like she does, and then when it’s warm during the summer. The red/multi floral print is a real standout. Made of 100% silk and in the USA. Once you see it, you won’t want to pass it up!

Hot to Cold

Spring is a confusing time for the weather. One minute it’s sunny and warm, and the next minute it’s breezy and chilly. We recommend building your spring wardrobe with layers. Start with fine knits in cashmere, cotton or silk. We recommend just a couple of long and short sleeve tees and tanks in those materials. After the knits, you can start looking for the pretty Spring/Summer blouses. We suggest getting at least 2 special blouses in a pretty floral or bold graphic print. The third layer will be your outerwear. We love cotton coats for Spring and your options are endless. Try a cotton blazer, short belted jacket, short or full length trench, or anorak.
As for bottoms, shorts, jeans and skirts are the obvious choices for springtime bottoms. When you shop for tops, make sure they look great with all three options. If you can mix and match your Spring purchases, you’ll have an easy time getting dressed in the morning.
Add punch to your outfits with accessories. Spring accessories are a great way to experiment with color, texture and pattern. Bags, shoes, and jewelry seem like less of a commitment to the unknown. They also help your ease into a color you’ve always wanted to try, but never brave enough to buy in a dress or top. The most well dressed women always have an appropriate, chic outfit for the weather conditions and their age. Hope you enjoy these easy springtime dressing tips!

On Molliee: Steven Alan Cabana Jacket, Wren Inkblot Tee, Wren Navy Shorts. All available at Josef Boutique, San Mateo.

Catherine Holstein Spring 09

We’re delighted to introduce our selection of Catherine Holstein Spring 09 clothing to you through our online store! Included in the group are her Long Sleeve Striped Shirt in a blue and cream stripe, Floral Jersey Top in tan with lavender, purple, and golden flowers, and tan linen High Waist Shorts (belt not included). We love the classic cuts and refined style of each piece. All items are made in the USA.

Wear the Striped Shirt with the High Waist Shorts and brown leather sandals around town or to dinner with friends. The Floral Jersey Top looks fantastic with our Found Symone Skinny Jeans and ballet flats. As Clinton Kelly advises, buy in outfits so you feel like you always have something to wear. These 3 pieces really do follow his rule! We’re such big fans of Catherine and are very excited to share her line with you!

Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a…

On hot evenings like these we like to enjoy the cooling effect of cocktails. One of our favorite drinks is a Vodka Still Works. See recipe below. It makes a wonderful signature cocktail for a summertime affair, like for a bbq, dinner party and even for a wedding. Please remember to drink responsibly. Cheers
