Julia Leach
The signature piece of clothing at Chance is the striped boatneck:
From there, Leach has built a line of clothing that evokes lazy days at the beach, soaking up the sun. The casual clothing line is simple, classic and relaxed. Throw on a soft cotton top, a pair of khaki shorts, espadrilles and grab your canvas bag for a trip into town for oysters and beer after a day at the beach.
Shew, I really need a vacation. And a striped shirt in every color available.
These beach towels feature such words "RESERVED," "SPF 10,000," "LA PLAGE," and "LA PLACINE." Love that!
So, if you’re shopping for spring break or planning for summer, stop by Chance to browse.
(And for my blog buddy, Tiffany, over at “Holiday,” if you worked with Julia during your days at ks, please share the scoop. She seems ultra cool.)

I love these top but I am considered that a small would be too big...I may have to do some further investigating! Happy Friday! xx
It's a great, well-marketed line, IMO. Nice branding.

Hope you have a super Friday!!
I LIKE! Great post- can't wait to look at the site a bit more!
Cute clothes! I need to get some sun before I break out the shorts.
A stripy shirt and a la plage towel for me, please! xx
Jen, YES! In fact, Julia was the reason I was at KS. I had just broken up w/ my boyfriend and threw myself into work, even wanting to get a weekend job, which I did at the frst itsy bitsy store. Julia hired me and I remember that interview like it was yesterday. Then a while later, she was instrumental in ushering me to the corporate office. Julia is indeed one of a kind...a huge inspiration in my life! Here's what I wrote about her in the early days of my blog:

I've bought one of the Chance sailor shirts (so soft and thinner than a St.James) as well as the set of shell notcards, which I'm thinking of framing to hang as a small series.
I'm definitely going to have check this site out!!!
