Fashion News: Saks Fifth Avenue acquired by Hudson's Bay Company

If all goes well, Hudson's Bay Company could add up to seven Saks Fifth Avenue stores and up to 29 discount outlets throughout Canada.

Starts with a cobalt maxi skirt...


Last year's cobalt maxi dress has been restyled into this year's cobalt maxi skirt. I created this look by knotting a linen shirt at the bottom, "tucking" in the knot, and finishing the look with a belt. VoilĂ ! The illusion of a maxi skirt was created. Perfect for a lazy weekend!

Have a great week!
