We Are Your Friends

Suzabelle Spring Collection

You were so excited when your designer friend offered you free clothes.

Until a patchwork-quilt-turned-stitched-up-muumuu arrived and you realized why. (No one else was buying her crap.)

Time to befriend a more talented crowd: Seattle-based designer Suzanne Jaberg will win your affections immediately.

This season’s collection was inspired by the Mediterranean’s bleached white sand and navy blue seas, and every piece is perfect. The white cotton Geometry top will be your go-to when you get bored with all your tees. The hooded Sunday Morning tunic with scalloped button placket and sweet pockets is perfect for cooler mornings and cute enough to pair with a skirt. The Singing in the Rain coat will make you look forward to cloudy skies.

Because clothes, like friends, shouldn’t just be for fair weather.

Available at Ella Jean, 630 North Second Street (215-510-7494). To see styles, go to suzabelle.com.
