Ahh, Spring. It’s the time of the year when you can shed the layers of winter clothes and finally throw on something light and airy and enjoy the sunny outdoors. You can do just that with Built by Wendy’s Spring ‘09 Collection. It has a variety of pieces that capture the easy-going feel of spring with a-line silhouettes and loose fits. Designer Wendy Mullen is always taking inspiration from sports, prep school style and classic designs as a way to reinvent the basics and this collection is no exception to that.

Comfort and breathability? Check and check. The collection of dresses, tops, bottoms, and jackets are all 100% cotton, the only exception being the super cute and simple leather bomber jacket with cropped sleeves. Another great thing about the BBW Spring collection is the versatility of each piece; with it’s touch of French style, it’s easy to create a complete look that’s either sporty casual, sweet or chic and classic.

And if you need one more reason as to why you should buy this adorable tee it is a silk/cotton blend…luxury is good and you deserve it. Peep more from the collection after the jump!

Built By Wendy’s Spring/Summer offerings include a shiny coated poplin fabric that is sure to add some spunk to your wardrobe. Coated poplin gives you the ease and simplicity of cotton but the sass and class of a fancier fabric due to the shine created by the coating. And with the darling silhouette’s by Built By Wendy paired with this fabric you just really can’t go wrong…view the full S/S range here!

While we’ve got Built By Wendy on our lips, we ought to shout out their spring sample sale this weekend, that starts tomorrow. Hit it up and get your cute on!

I am a huge fan of the shiny-shiny, sparkly things. My appreciation of glitter and sequins spans from 70’s Disco to Florida Retirerees. I just very well may be that blinged-out and bedazzled old lady when I grow older but certainly not gray! But since I am yeeeeeeeeeeeeears away from that in the meantime I can rock some sparkle with Built by Wendy’s new sequins dress. And So can you. And by no means is this your granny’s party dress.
