We have been cruising by the AVENTURA corner booth for a bunch of seasons at OR---and have noticed a more stylish group of clothes-displayed on the mannequins that line the aisles...




An invite-got us admiring the rather large assortment of Aventura's apparel for S/S 2012---designed by women---for women in the "30-50 years old active cool, hip mom" category...we think this value price collection appeals to all age gals.

Made to flatter -Peyton Dress $69-95% organic cotton/5% spandex jersey-ruching details flatter/hides muffin tops









Right off-we noticed the easy wear "engineered for
comfort" cuts ---many flowing/draping silhouettes-ideal for the grab, put on, and go types-as well as larger women too---the hip sizes are very generous-something we find more and more in American designed clothing.

Scattered Daisy Dress (l)-100 organic cotton lightweight jersey $69























Kacey Dress $79- 66%Rayon from Bamboo/29%Bamboo Charcoal/5% Spandex Jersey
Pretty prints and colors---Aventura's tonal groups of Lemon Mint, Rose Hip, Earl Grey, Tutti Frutti, and Splash----are seasonal appropriate.
bermuda length shorts flatter-the straight lines are slimming
