Lust of the Week: Ports 1961 Circular Tank Dress

ShopBop, $448.50

You may remember those Angelina adverts for Ports 1961? From what I've seen of Ports whenever I walk by their downtown location here, they seem more for the old-money, old-lady set, but ShopBop has proven me wrong with their selection of Ports 1961 clothing. The selection on ShopBop features an edgy, modern side of Ports 1961, and evokes an image of a cool snooty Upper Eastside woman - think of a grown-up Gossip Girl. This stunning silk dress is a perfect example of Ports 1961 blue blood stylings, even though the line's designer herself is neither from New York (she's from Vancouver!) nor old (the line was launched in 2004). Unfortunately you would need to be a blue blood, or have a blue blood's money, to purchase this dress at its original price of $1495, but if you're lucky you can buy it now for 70% off!
