Silver Lining

If every cloud has a silver lining, then a drizzly spring morning is sure to brighten up as soon as you see the sparkly threads of IISLI's spring 2007 metallic wonderland hanging in your closet.

This season's collection is perfectly on point, reverberating fresh metallics seen shimmering down the Fendi runway while predicting the drop-waist silhouettes of '07 fall collections like Proenza Schouler, Galliano and Etro. The collection captures a succinct light-as-a-feather silver ephemeron that is sublimely suited for the sunny months ahead!

Slip into our favorite twenties-inspired Pleated Dress in Shimmer Pink and sparkle your way through a romantic dinner or play date. A more casual but equally demure piece is the Pewter Tunic with front pockets and a shirred-detail frame neckline. We love this comfy piece for layering with jeans or a pleated skirt (a must with the detailed hem-line). Speaking of pleated skirts, IISLI offers a divine little gold number with a double tier of delicate pleats a 'la the latest addictions to hit our favorite celebrities, including Sienna Miller, Lindsay and the like.

If all of these pleats are getting a bit too girly, there's always the rugby-inspired tee that takes the brawny game to its most stylish climax complete with a row of crystal buttons at the shoulder.

So the next time a cloud rains on your parade, remember that a little shimmer never hurt anyone (unless you're Cher then we recommend to tone it down).
