This time last year we introduced you to Chance, the brand concept by Julia Leach centered around the beauty and simplicity of  the classic nautical  striped shirt, leisure and the pursuit of discoveries. Earlier today Julia  unveiled her Spring /Summer 2012 collection at Barneys New York. Illustrating  a Californian take on leisure,  the capsule collection features cotton tees, dresses, beach towels, and totes as well as a limited edition long-sleeve shirt Julia co-created with artist and friend Elliott Puckette, appropriately called the “Elliott” Stripe. On  the next page get a peek at the setting that has us ready to play hookie and head for a  large body of water. Some pieces available here .

Last night L-Atitude one of our fave web store for global style  unveiled their Mexico City collection. Featuring traditional Rebozos by Hacienda Montecristo , Deszo by Sara Beltran, Anndra Neen and various other covetable jewellery and accessories. On the next page a closer look at what caught our eye.
