Last week fellow blogger and friend Laura Coronado www.lollieshopping.com and I attended an event at the Elie Tahari Boutique at the Forum Shops.

The event showcased the Elie Tahari Spring/Summer Collection and 20 percent of the sales went to benefit the After School All Stars (which provides comprehensive after school programs that are fun for kids and also keep them safe and help to achieve success in school and life).

Laura and I sipped a few cocktails, sampled some hors d’oeuvres, listened to the jazz band and then got straight to work perusing the collection.

Elie Tahari Spring/Summer 2011 has a clean feel, focusing on a golds, whites and khakis with a mix of textures and fabrics including suede, linen, raffia, leather and cottons.

I loved the water color print dresses with exposed zipper details.  I picture them on a gorgeous deck at a cocktail party somewhere near the water as the sun sets.

What really stood out for me were the accessories.  Handbags, wedges and heels of every shape and size made of soft raffia, woven straw, canvas and leather.  Fresh, clean, sophisticated and chic.

Elie Tahari’s Spring/Summer 2011 delivers a clean classic American silhouette with inventive, interesting and sophisticated accessories. The collection is a breath of fresh air and a definite must have for the season!
