I have been wanting to share this for a bit and I am so happy this post is finally up! My dear friend from college Melissa Hansen recently started her own label of clothing perfectly named Miss Liss. The patterns and cuts are beyond cute and truly reflect longevity- a piece that you can have in your closets for years that will always be flattering and in style.

From her site:

Capturing the tension of the Southern California's relaxed

yet fashion focused lifestyle, Miss Liss' Spring 2012 collection debuts as a casual chic post card from Los Angeles.

Each piece – handmade in downtown L.A. - offers an infectious glimpse in to the local influence of designer Melissa Lauren's local roots.

The collection of beach-inspired tops, maxi skirts, and ponchos is the artistic inheritance of endless family afternoons on the sand in Malibu and Newport and Melissa's discerning eye that curated the pages of Esquire.

Now stepping forward with her first collection, Miss Liss fearlessly fuses high-end fabrics with couture style at a competitive price point, without resorting to offshore production.

Drawing equally from the palettes of bold prints and the premium fabrics' own natural features, the collection keeps young fashion icons close to the core elements of style in each of the Spring 2012 pieces.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Can't wait to get my hands on some of these pieces:)
