Simply Vera by Vera Wang: Spring 2008

Filed under: Clothing


Contrary to what the weather would lead us to believe, it's actually spring. And on that fine day, when the cold fronts that are brought on by these horrible thunderstorms finally cease, we'll be there -- to greet the warm sun in our favorite pair of over-priced sunglasses and possibly wearing a top or sun dress by Simply Vera.

First, things first: We were less than impressed with Vera Wang's diffusion line with Kohl's last season. The sizing was all out of whack and we didn't like the fact that the collection was geared towards our lovely but middle-aged mothers.

Simply a great deal by Vera Wang

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News, Steals and Deals


This past week I have been temporarily transplanted from my life in LA to a life in the suburbs of Washington DC. It's just a temporary holiday transplant, but a transplant all the same. You would think since I am only out here for a week that I could keep myself from shopping. Well, obviously you don't know me that well because I can find shopping bliss in any location.

My latest bit of bliss was found in the most unexpected place, Kohls. I hit the suburban superstore with my Mother and got lucky with the Simply Vera by Vera Wang department. The pieces were fashionable, affordable, and well made. I tried on just about every piece in the collection and found that they fit true to size and in a few cases they fit a bit larger than usual.

I picked up a few tops, a sweater, and the greatest find was a pair of stacked heel leather boots. Head to your nearest Kohls to check out the line (which is currently on sale) or go to Kohls.com.

I know that not everyone here at Styledash approves of Kohl's, but I do. In fact, I've been looking forward to Kohl's new Vera Wang collection since it was announced last year.

And apparently I was not the only one who was looking forward to Wang's dip into democratic design. Some of the more popular separates are now selling on eBay for up to three times the retail price.

The good pieces incorporate Vera's signature style: luxe fabrics, rich colors, elegance. To me, the SimplyVera intimates come closest to the the look and feel of the high-end Vera Wang. A case in point is the Lace underwire bra and thong, which look like they could be sold in a regular Vera lingerie store. What I like most about these dainties is that they're sexy in a demure sort of way.

It's Simply Vera, indeed.
