Casual style for under 200

We love our Paul & Joe Sister Grizzly Jeans paired with our new arrival Steven Alan Buoy Top. The look is relaxed, but still very chic. Instead of grabbing your normal blue denim jeans go for color! If you're afraid the periwinkle blue is too bright, the navy and white stripes of the tee temper the hue. Wear the outfit to the movies, out shopping, or to the first bbq of the season. Don't forget your gold-framed aviators and flat sandals. We wore the outfit with our trusty suede moccasins. The jeans are a steal at $69. They're bootcut stretch denim. The tee is a treat for yourself at $98, available in store.

Note: Girls, the jeans run tight in the thighs.

One of Spring's new silhouettes

Josef strives to keep you current and remain on the cutting edge of fashion. One of the newest bodies that we love and have in the shop is the Chameau Blouse by Paul & Joe Sister. It's like the one pictured above, but in a slate/brown color. We love how it's styled with the paperbag-waist pants and strappy wedge boots. For Spring, choose relaxed pieces at the same time keeping them refined.
If the tie-waist pants aren't something you'd normally wear, try the blouse tucked out with dark jeans and gladiator flats. Accessorize the outfit with a luxuriously big bag, gold bangles and a men's-size watch. Along with the great cut, the Chameau Blouse has a must-have price, it's $88.00 and made of a Lyocell and Cotton blend. The weather seems to be warming up, so treat yourself to a little bit of luxury for a basic price! Have a great afternoon.

3 spring clothing essentials

If you're like us, you probably have a budget in mind when buying clothes for a new season. Spring clothes are arriving and there will be a lot of choices. We have a few suggestions for you to freshen up your wardrobe. If you're spending money on clothes, make sure they're pieces that will carry you throughout Spring and Summer. You'd be surprised at how certain pieces can update your current collection of clothing from past seasons.

1. Buy 1 new pair of jeans. Whether they are skinny or straight leg, bootcut or trouser style, a new pair of jeans can change the look of your current t-shirts and blouses. We suggest our Found Symone and Agatha jeans. Do you have an old graphic tee that you still love to wear? Wear it with one of the Found jeans, brown leather sandals, gold bracelets and your favorite pair of sunglasses. This outfit can be your go-to outfit for the season.
2. To stay current, buy a top from the newest collection of your favorite designer. Every season designers have a new theme for their collections. Treat yourself to one of their signature pieces by getting a top. Tops are easy because your can wear them with the jeans, shorts, and skirts you already have. We suggest our Twinkle by Wenlan Ariel tank. Wear this cute little cami blouse with a khaki cargo miniskirt, heeled peeptoe booties and a long gold chain charm necklace for an easy date outfit.
   
3. 1 cute sundress will get your through the more dressy occasions of Spring and Summer. Wear it to bridal and baby showers, weddings, special dinners, religious celebrations and birthdays. Our Paul & Joe Sister Vienne Empire Waist sundress will work for all of these events. For chilly evenings wear a fitted cream cardigan. The dress works with both heels and flats!
   

We hope this helps you the next time you're out and about shopping. Remember, less is more!

Coming Soon: Catherine Holstein Spring 2009!

We've been eagerly awaiting our Catherine Holstein Spring delivery! It's in transit as you read this. From her Spring 2009 collection, we selected the long sleeve blue/white striped top, the tan floral t-shirt, and the linen high-waisted shorts in flax. The pieces are simple and elegant; relaxed but refined. Both tops will look great with our Found Denim Agatha and Symone jeans, and since it's still cold and rainy they'll go perfectly with our Paul & Joe Sister Paris Trench Coat. If you're as excited as we are, read up on Catherine on the New York Times web site.

Paul & Joe Sister Spring: in-store now!

Hope everyone's weekend is going well. We just wanted to share our new Paul & Joe Sister Spring clothes with you. From left to right: navy paris trench, phoenix print gwen blouse, and beige zeph sweater. The paris trench is fully lined and would look great with the gwen blouse, jeans and flats. We really love the fit of the zeph sweater. It's long, and we suggest wearing it loose to get that boyfriend sweater effect. Both tops look fantastic with the Magic Shorts*. Mix and match these great seperates from Paul & Joe Sister, and you'll be set for the entire duration of Spring and even Summer!

*The Magic Shorts are called so because we've discovered, through the help of Tiny and Tasty, that they look really good with every top we have in the store. Now isn't that amazing?

Resort wear arriving at Josef

Please excuse the iphone photo, but I wanted to share the newest arrival at Josef Boutique with you. We just got our Paul & Joe Sister resort clothes in the shop. Pictured is a silky coral-pink printed tunic styled with the Ksubi Super Skinnies. Imagine them with brown leather flat sandals and a pair of aviator sunglasses. This is a great, yet stylish outfit to travel in. Too cold in the plane? Bring a super soft and warm pashmina to stuff in you bag. Once you arrive at your final tropical destination, you'll be cool, comfortable and ready for a mai tai!
