My absolute favorite accessory for the winter months is a great hat!  An easy, soft, and warm style that is super versatile and works back to all my coats & outfits for the season.  I couldn’t be more in luck, considering slouchy knit hats are a huge trend and with celebrities like Lindsey Lohan sporting the trend so early in the season you won’t want to miss the boat on this fashion craze.

Dream Muffin Hat

Chef's Hat

We just received our Carolina Amato shipment in and it was packed full with faithful styles we re-order ever year and some new fun styles (like the oh-so popular knit hat) you won’t want to miss out on! Shopchantal.com & chantal. received three great knit hat options making it easy to find one that fits your personal style best!

We love the slouchyness of the Dream Muffin Hat and the lighterweight cashmere of the Chef’s Hat - both have the “snood” quality that we crave.

Pop Top Cashmere Mitten

Personally, no one should be without her Pop Top Cashmere Mittens which are the epitome of functional, also available in an Angora option!  Some gloves make it not-so-easy to find those keys hiding in the bottom of that over-sized bag or when trying to re-touch make up or apply lip gloss.  However, Carolina Amato’s pop top mittens are great for the on-the-go girl who needs to multi-task throughout the day.  The pop top mitten allows the wearer to turn down & fasten the mitten so they become fingerless gloves.  Love the fingerless style?  Check out her other options: Snappy Driver Gloves (offered in Red Leather) and Shearling Fingerless Gloves (offered in Camel Leather & Black Leather)

Quilted Driving Glove

Craving more luxury than functionality?  Her Quilted Driver Glove incorporates both!  The cashmere is extra special making these a great gift-giving option, as well!  We love the quilted upper, black leather, and “cut out” detail.  The glove hits right at the wrist making these easy to pull off and on.  Another great option that hits at the wrist is her 60’s Shorty Glove, also lined in cashmere with hidden elastic at the opening ensuring a perfect fit!

It’s no surprise that outwear is an important topic for us at shopchantal.com & chantal.  Since we are based in Portland, ME we have no other choice than to bundle up during the winter months, and style is a priority when choosing that essential coat for the season.  Since we are in a season where almost anything goes (high drama, girly details, and timeless sophistication), the hunt to find a jacket that meets your “keep warm” needs but portrays your individual style is super easy!

Rebecca Taylor’s Ruffle Me Up Coat is the go-to jacket for all the girly-girls at heart!  The tiered ruffle front detail and ruffled collar are super feminine, and the belted waist gives you shape even with all the layers you may be wearing under it.  The slight balloon sleeve adds that extra special detail without being over powering that all of us crave when looking for that special, unique piece that you will have forever!

More edgy, than girly, Shoshanna’s Zipper Front Coat is military-inspired and touches upon that boy meets girl edge that is so of the moment!  We love the off-center exposed zipper and banded detail at the waist.  The color combo of grey & black make this a super versatile coat that can easily be worn dressed up or down.  We love pairing it back to tough pieces to make the military-inspiration pop even more!  Or pair it back to a beautiful pink cashmere scarf and a chef’s beret for a fun, flirty look to an edgy style coat.  Add a touch of fringe with a bag from Twelfth Street or some boots from Joie.

Craving color when the weather can be somewhat dark & dreary?  Nanette Lepore’s D’Orsay Hoodie in Iris is a rich shade of purple in a slightly cropped style that allows you to show off the layers you wear underneath it.  The jacket features so many great details that makes the D’Orsay Hoodie super fun to wear–the exposed zippers at the wrist, polished slit int he back, worn bronze buttons, and the best part of this piece–the detachable hood.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.  The best styles and choices of sizes are here now - waiting for you to add a Carolina Amato snood and some driving gloves or a Me & Kashmiere animal print scarf and some cashmere mittens.  Whichever your style, we can help you complete the look.
