Ok, time to get SUPER excited ladies.  ELIF for JT is officially in the separates business!

Dont tell anyone, but above is a sneak peak of whats to come for the 2014 season!!!  There is really nothing I love more than a cute pair of hot pants to galavant around the Hampton’s in.  As our loyal customers know, we are absolutely obsessed with this amazing zigzag/chevon esq. fabric… this year we decided to take it to the next level.  Bright colors and adorable matching shorts, seriously, what is better?

 

What do you think?!

What happened to spring?

AA-008

 

I don’t know about you but the question on all my friends minds has been, WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO SPRING? I mean honestly, does anyone know where it went?? It feels as though we have bypassed fall and spring this year an jumped head first into winter and summer. Not that I’m complaining though, I’m so excited to exchange my big bulky sweaters and scarves for shorts, sandals and most importantly my pletorea of chic dresses from my Elif for JT collection. What I love most about it is not only the versatility but its grab and go abilities.

As I mentioned before, I am kind of still unprepared for the weather.. It totally came out of nowhere. With that said, most of my summer items are packed away at the bottom of my closet (a place rarely visited). Because of this most of my things need to be pressed after months of being folded and essentially forgotten about. What I absolutely love about my Elif items is that they are totally ready to be worn ! It’s such a relief knowing I can just grab one of my dresses and head out the door without a second thought.

Check out my favorite from the 2013 season! What’s your favorite thing about your Elif for JT item?

TRENDS 2013: BRAZIL

Everyone loves when Fashion Week rolls around.  With every major world city having at least one a year, it’s a great way for industry insiders to get a glimpse of what will be trending next season. Of course for swim and beachwear, our favorite editions include Sao Paulo Fashion Week and Fashion Rio in Brazil.

One of the biggest trends coming out of Brazil for 2013 is the use of metallics. Gold threads, lurex, foil applications and lamé were just some of the major techniques and fabrications designers incorporated into their collections to make them shine.  Emphasis shifted from metallic in the form of hardware and more to fabrics that shine and sparkle.

You can see the metallic trend in our 2013 collections for both Jordan Taylor and Elif for Jordan Taylor.

Here are a few of our favorite pieces that can help you get your “shine on” on your next vacation.

One of our bestsellers, this short sassy sarong is a great way to incorporate a little sparkle in your summer wardrobe. This cute little number from our Fishbone Braid collection is perfect for every body

The Hemera collection’s high-low tank dress  looks uber luxe in this beautiful gold lace fabric. En trend with both the shape and color, this is a must-have for your beachwear wardrobe from Elif for Jordan Taylor.

Channel old Hollywood glam with our Moroccan neck caftan tunic. Part of the the wildly popular Radiance collection from Elif for Jordan Taylor, this tunic brings a classic back with a twist.
