I would recommend this to anyone looking for a classy, simple, long-term closet sample." —SCram Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors). A bodycon pencil dress that looks so. damn. chic. And while the importance of owning the perfect LBD is no secret, it's likely you've had the same one (#guilty). I believe it's time we both level up. Promising review: "I love this dress. Simple, classy, and professional. It molds to my body in all the right ways, and it wasn't too long. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps.

I plan to order more colors." —LadyLestat Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes L–5X and in six colors). A wrap A-line mini dress taking a page from the Disney 365 book (if you know, you know) because it can truly be worn any day of the damn year.

An off-shoulder bodycon lauded by reviewers for a comfortable and stretchy fabric that doesn't wrinkle, ergo you won't have to break out that clunky steamer that.. maybe doesn't even work properly? I swear the wrinkles are still there after I use mine. Promising review: "This dress was a hit at a friends party, everyone loved it!

I live in South Florida and it's become a staple for business, business travel and daily wear." —Amazon Customer"This dress is so comfortable. The fabric is soft and holds up well when washed.

Dadeland newcomers ▪ Lola + The Boys. A Chicago-based children's clothing brand aimed at trend-forward flair. So that could mean sequin unicorn bombers, glitter sneakers or graphic T-shirts.

A.K.A Brands sales up 10% on surging US revenues
A.K.A Brands announced first-quarter sales increased 10.1% to $128.7 million, on the back of surging growth across the U.S.-based apparel firm's local market. The San Francisco-based company said U.S. sales for the three months ending March 31 rose 14.2%, which helped helped global orders at the firm increase 9.2%. During the quarter, the owner of Culture Kings, Princess Polly, and Mnml brands said net losses remained flat at $8.4 million. "We delivered a strong start to the year, with outstanding first-quarter performance driven by our team's disciplined execution across our brands. This marks our fourth consecutive quarter of growth, underscoring the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives," said Ciaran Long, chief executive officer, A.K.A Brands. "We grew net sales approximately 10% to $129 million, with continued strength in the U.S. which grew 14%. Importantly, the Australia and New Zealand region registered 6% net sales growth in the quarter, reflecting the progress we've made over the past two years, particularly at the Culture Kings brand, to strengthen the business. And rounding out the quarter, benefiting from the strong top-line growth and healthy gross margin, we exceeded our expectations and delivered $2.7 million of adjusted EBITDA." Looking ahead, the company said it expects full-year sales to fall between $600 million and $610 million, with plans to open six Princess Polly stores this year, bringing the total to 13 by year-end. "As we approach the evolving trade environment impacting our U.S. business, we are confident that our strategic actions, swift execution and flexible business model will enable us to navigate this period and emerge even stronger. Importantly, we continue to see solid demand trends in the first six weeks of the second quarter, in-line with our outlook for the year," added Long.
