These clothes, showcased in what looks like a French country home with its grey-washed plank floors and farmhouse touches - are indeed your friends. They're overwhelmingly of soft materials such as gauzy cotton and silk. They are friends you could take anywhere, too, whether it's a romantic picnic on a sailboat or paired with work basics. And of course, part of being a friend is understanding the need for individuality, and you most likely won't find a lot of other people running around town in these Erica Tanov, Nanette Lepore and Rebecca Taylor clothes.

Friends also keep secrets - even juicy ones. The small-but-important lingerie collection includes lacy cotton/Lycra camisoles and thongs, and underwear so pretty you'll have no problem if someone sneaks a peek at it.

Tip: If you're strictly a hi-tops and T-shirt kinda gal, steer clear, unless you're in the market for accessories such as candles, soap and honey.
