So many of you loved the first installment of this series featuring lesser-known brands or unexpected hidden gems you won’t see on anyone else that I’m bringing it back this week. Guaranteed to fetch comments and separate you from the crowd!
01. I’m swooning over pieces from new-to-me Australian label Sancia. This striped linen dress is under $200 and perfectly chic. Also comes in a cute shorts/top duo, styled perfectly by Dominique Nurtsch above and below. Also love this knit polo dress.
02. Zara’s always a good spot for double takes and “is that The Row or…?” moments, and I love this crochet cover-up situation. The colors are weird in the best way.
03. These tweedy takes on a Teva are so fun. Pair with a voluminous white dress or caftan for max effect.
04. These blue flower earrings from Mignonne Gavigan.
05. If you’re one of my more minimalist girlies (you’re drawn to Khaite, The Row, Toteme, etc), you are going to freak out over Rue Sophie. This jacket, these pleated shorts! The prices are reasonable given the high-end minimalism of the aesthetic. I’m personally drawn to their simple and elegant dresses in black and white: this, this.
06. The scarf-lined paniers from Paris64! Also comes in a smaller size.
07. The eyelet cover-ups from Nantucket-based brand Cartolina are gorgeous. (See also this one!). They also have dresses with fabulous details, like this embroidered linen mini.
08. OK, these do have a label and they are a high end designer, but I find them so fun and unexpected. I haven’t seen anyone wear anything like this! These Havaianas have a similar vibe for under $100.
09. Absolutely everything from Spanish brand Andion, but especially this dress and this one.
10. The prettiest colors in this striped dress from European designer Laurence Bras. (Reminds me a bit of this Zimmermann dress we all love.)
11. The scallop trim on this Horror Vacui skirt!
12. This funky little turtle clutch!
13. The embroidered Lorena dresses (a new silhouette!) from Mi Golondrina. Also love this pattern, and this caftan style.
14. This Alemais mini!!!
15. These trousers from Thierry Colson.
16. This gingham bustier top from Rebecca Taylor.
P.S. Lots of new fashions find here and here.
P.P.S. On feeling a “bigness” inside.
P.P.P.S. An easy kind of love.
As someone who has ALWAYS wanted to be a little left of center, style-wise, but who still appreciates fashion and pretty silhouettes, I so appreciate this series! Especially loving the Rue Sophie rec … and Horror Vacui has transfixed me for several seasons. I have so many pieces saved on Vestiaire, TRR, and other sites, waiting for the right moment!

Yay!! I love TRR – my favorite midnight pasttime!
