You won't be able to get enough of this flirty and whimsical line! It is full of fun prints and fashion forward silhouettes that are simple, versatile and easy to wear.
BAD JOAN'S PICK: Box Top
This top is gorgeous and versatile! What else could you ask for? The print is vibrant and has a very unique, vintage vibe. The actual cut of this top is almost poncho-like but it is closed up the sides. The shape of the sleeves has a fluttery/butterfly effect and we love the simple collarless neckline. This piece looks great open or buttoned; either all the way or just button a couple buttons on top and let the rest drape open. Wear it over a tank and jeans, pants or a skirt or even use it a light wrap over a dress!

inspiration: BASALTINA
by Gina Holz
During a recent kitchen remodel, my client and I hunted for the perfect flooring material for her high traffic kitchen. She wanted to transform her traditional kitchen into a contemporary space but still maintain a certain practicality. The floor had to be modern and elegant but durable enough to handle the everyday wear and tare of her large family. After months of shopping and research we found what we had been looking for; Basaltina...
Basaltina is a volcanic stone that has been used in architecture for years. The ancient Romans used Basaltina to build roads and monuments. This durable material is suitable for high traffic areas and may be applied to interior walls, floors and commercial walkways. The stone's natural gray color and white flecks give a simple elegance and a sleek texture to any space. In a room with great height and volume, the deep color grounds the space and brings your eye from the ceiling back down to the floor. While this classic stone has been used for centuries, it can provide a cool modern edge in a contemporary space. What's old becomes new again!
The new burnout hoodies from Jenny B on Badjoan.com remind me of Basaltina in two ways... 1) They have a "marbled" look and 2) burnout is a throwback to the acid wash look from the 80's thus giving a modern edge to an old concept. However you look at it they are soft, comfortable and have a classic fit!

inspiration: THE UNEXPECTED
by Gina Holz
On a recent trip to Las Vegas I was mesmerized by the sculpture outside of the Vdara hotel. In the center of the valet area stood an enormous structure; "The Big Edge" created by artist Nancy Rubins. It was designed to "evoke a blooming flower." Upon closer examination I discovered the structure consisted of rowboats, canoes, surfboards, paddle boats and catamarans all wrapped together. It created an explosion of color set amongst the concrete, glass buildings and the sky. It made me appreciate the notion that an everyday item could be turned into something so unexpected. In a space that is used often it is important the form follows function; however I do believe there should always be an element of surprise and this piece definitely achieved that!
The same element of surprise can be applied to items in your wardrobe. A robe, for example, is such a basic everyday item that we often take it for granted. I was so excited when the new Daddy's Favorite robes arrived at Badjoan.com because this line takes basic robes and turns them into some fun, exciting and unexpected by using bold prints full of bright colors. I say go ahead and surprise yourself by adding a little pop to your everyday wardrobe items!

get that look: OVERSIZE SHIRT
An oversize shirt can be great for so many uses! Wear it with leggings, belt it, wear it to the gym, to sleep in, or it even works if you're pregnant...
Let's face it, you don't want to have to shop for an entire new wardrobe when you are pregnant. But you might surprised to find that there are some items already in your wardrobe that you can still make work, like an oversize t-shirt. Christina Applegate has taken an oversize shirt and accessorized with a newsboy hat. You can get this look right now on Badjoan.com whether you are pregnant or not! Pair the KJ V Neck T with the Rails Newsboy hat and you've got a simple, casual look that is good for any stage of life.

inspiration: STREET ART
by Gina Holz
Walking down the streets of Brooklyn, NY on a crisp fall day I felt inspired by the street art. This piece in particular really caught my eye; it's what I like to call a "statement piece." I love the juxtaposition of the warm amber tones with hints of a cool soft blue. It is whimsical and loud on its own but set amongst the everyday hustle and bustle of the streets of Brooklyn it seems to fit right in. If you were walking too fast you might even miss it!
The Sweet Evie Delphi Necklace is also a statement piece that is bold but the mix of colors gives it a neutral feeling. This necklace could easily stand out or blend right into an outfit depending on what you surround it with. I love it against a simple white t-shirt seen here but I could also see it dressed up with a black strapless gown or even mixed in against a print with similar colors.
