You’ve DM’d me about for years: it’s here.
Introducing The ALBA — you don’t need more, you just need BRÛLÉ.
The ALBA — 3 ways, 2 colors, all summer long. Every BRÛLÉ piece has a backstory. This one has been quietly sitting in the archives for years.
A few years ago, I made both a dress pattern and a top pattern for BRÛLÉ. They sat while I kept building. But after one tiny preview, people never stopped DM’ing me asking: “What was that piece? Are you ever releasing it?”
Fast forward - I kept wearing a sheer long sleeve at home, around the house, in stories, in a few photos. You’ve seen it. Coffee in hand, Honey on a walk, little bit of morning nippy action. And every time:
“What is that top? Is that BRÛLÉ?”
Yes. It was BRÛLÉ. It always was. It just wasn’t the right time to release it — until now. The ALBA isn’t just a top. It’s not just a dress. It’s both.
Originally, I was going to release it as a top. But when I styled it over the Colette Tank and Jude Boxer, I realized: this is a dress, too. In fact, l love it more as a dress.
The best kind of dress: undone, sheer, layered, barely there — but wearable. Sexy. Simple. Versatile. Three ways in one piece. This is how I want my wardrobe to work. Build it once. Wear it forever.
The fabric I sourced the fabric myself downtown. It had to be:
Light
Sheer
Breathable
Comfortable
I don’t wear sunscreen (chemicals, I love the sun and just I just don’t like it). But when I’ve had enough sun, I want something I can throw on easily that still protects my skin. The ALBA gives me that layer. It’s perfect over a swimsuit, or layered up with BRÛLÉ underneath.
Effortless. Covered but exposed. Undone but intentional.
How I wear it in BRÛLÉ Brown.
- Over the Colette Tank & Jude Boxer (full layered look)
- As a sheer cover-up over swimsuits
- Thrown on with the boxer and coffee in hand (yes, there’s a little morning nippy action — that’s the vibe, that’s the moment).
- Tucked into denim or loose over shorts (the new BRÛLÉ ones, actually).
- Out at night with heels or lace-up sandals (these are $40!)
How I wear it in Pearl White.
Same vibe. Same pieces. A couple different accessories. But you don’t need much to create a new look. Less is always more. That’s the point.
And let’s just go a tiny bit deeper…during the day: sandals. At night: heels.
The lace-up sandals I’m featuring? $40 on Amazon. First pair of shoes I’ve ever bought from Amazon and… honestly, 10/10 impressed. You're welcome.
The point is:
You don’t need options.
You need the right ones.
Two sandals, one purse, one pair of sunglasses, two necklaces, the Alba in brown and White, the Colette Tank and Jude Boxer in BRÛLÉ brown, a good swimsuit, one pair of heels… and your closet carries YOU.
HERE are all the links to it ALL, bb girl.
You don’t need more. You just need BRÛLÉ. This is always the point. Less. Better. Repeated. Done right. The ALBA fits into everything else I’ve made for you. You don’t need to buy endless pieces. You need to build it once — and wear it well.
SIZING Q’s (!?) The model is wearing a size small. If you need sizing reference, you can watch this video here.
As always: made-to-order. No overproduction. No excess. No sitting inventory.
If you have your eye on The ALBA - this is your window…and NOW is the time.
Here is your summer uniform. Built right. Built to last.
With all my love…
