Summer fashion has definitely been extended this season and we love it! Everyone wants to BE outdoors or be reminded of it: gardens bursting with snap pea, zucchini and olive greens, the azure sky and ocean blues, the pop of strawberry, poppy red or tomato orange. Fashion continues to help move us forward — whether we’re running errands, out for a stroll, or meeting for lunch al fresco — the colors and ease of summer dressing refresh us and make us feel better!

The warmer months are finally arriving and while many of us have been longing for summer fun at the lake, al fresco dinners at The Deck, country club soirées or outdoor weddings, summer’s heat can often bring styling challenges with it: the challenge to continue to dress confidently while remaining comfortable in the heat of summer. Let’s face it, there is not a woman out there who doesn’t feel slightly insecure about some part of her body, no body is perfect, and as time passes our shape changes, calling for your wardrobe to change with it. With that in mind Jophiel stylists sat down for a fashionable confabulation! Read the latest Jophiel Table Talk about how to find your comfortable...
With the start of spring and summer comes so many exciting activities: spending weekends on the water, movies en-plein-air, dinners on the terrace, luncheons and garden parties galore!
