At some point this summer, there will be a family reunion, wedding or christening. If the good news is that kids are invited, but the bad news is the idea of an itchy, stiff dress turning your little princess into a monster, then check out Lucy Sykes New York, and all the pretty Designer dresses.

Beautiful prints, lightweight cotton, and, for a special party dress, fairly reasonable prices — certainly under $100. It’s not Target, but it’s also not Dior. The dresses have a classic shape, with twirly skirts and enough ruffles to be festive without looking like a square dancing costume. They are also refreshingly free of glitter or other Bratz-like flair.

Sykes and her doubtlessly beautiful family — including sons Titus and Heathcliff — spend weekends in the Hamptons and jet around the world to Paris, Milan and London. Lucy tries to infuse her dresses with the spirit of these places. We’re not sure if she succeeds, but we can definitely imagine them on some little girls we know, playing tag while the grown ups sip celebratory cocktails. Now that’s a summer party.

Major League Baseball will be celebrating the All-Star break in one week. That doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating it now. We’re talking jerseys, people.

Granted, we usually don’t suggest that people wear replica jerseys and faux uniforms as a fashion statement. However, as a regular statement they are generally acceptable. Still, you probably shouldn’t wear them to the office. They’re much more appropriate to wear to the game, bar, or other sports-related event. Luckily we go to a lot of games, bars and sports-related events. Mostly bars.

We love us some good funny. We also love a creative t-shirt. Put the two together and you’re singing our song, or at least humming it.

The folks at Goodie Two Sleeves know the tune, and they are pretty good at carrying it.
