Mayle was founded by its namesake, Jane Mayle, in 1999. It began as a popular boutique which hit the world wide web just last year (for us lucky internationals!). The lines are consistently artistic and vintage-inspired, and completely individual.

The fusion of button and lace detail are typical of Mayle collections, blending Victorian and bohemian inspiration. The Spring 2008 line is Mexican inspired, according to the website "by a viewing of the Manet exhibition at Moma." Upon reading this I understood my immediate attraction to the clothes, as I've always been taken with the Impressionists, and feel that their influence stretches far beyond the world of painting.






Pasa Doble, anyone?
It really doesn't help that the model has mad tattoos that make me jealous of my lack of funds to get the ones I want. Urgh, jealousy!
