Mix it up this season with different textures, textiles and prints

www.whowhatwear.

I’m a huge fan of www.whowhatwear.com  and just had to post this page from their website showing “runway to real way“.  It’s one of my favorite things they do on their site. What I like so much about this post is that our focus this season at shopchantal.com is all about “mixing it up”.

Seen here, this “Gossip Girl” actress (“Eva”) pairs together a beaded blazer over a long tee with velvet trouser and motorcycle boots.  What a great look and so easy to do.

We’ve always love the pairing of different designers, but the pairing of different textures and prints is giving us newfound freedom with our styling. 

Mix together a Faux Fur Jacket with a Joie beaded top for an unexpected pairing of textures.  Add some dark denim from DL1961 for the perfect updated style.

Mix your sequins with suede for a more casual look.  We love the Nanette Lepore Star Gazing Top paired with the Botkier Prince Crossbody (shown as clutch) in Navy Suede and the Joie Coachella Over-the-Knee boot in Mud.  Yes, you can mix your suedes – it’s so fresh.

Leather and Lace have had a long standing relationship, but not always in the most sophisticated of ways. This season is different with the Ladylike trend leading the way in how we are wearing our dresses and what accessories are appropriate.  This Nanette Lepore dress and the Joie Lace Dress are two beautiful, ladylike dresses that can be paired with leather in a way that is chic and totally acceptable. Belts are an obsession at shopchantal and now with all the exotic skins, studded details and even zippers, we are going crazy with this pairing of leather with lace. Clutches and bags are another great way to “mix it up”.

Have some fun with our new Generra Velvet leggings too.  We love mixing the texture of velvet with a silk Elizabeth and James Tokyo Top and a wool military jacket from Rebecca Taylor. Worn with the Pour la Victoire bootie, this is one look you will wear over and over again.

chantal. has moved! Join us at 229 Commercial Street in Portland Maine

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

It’s been some time since I’ve been able to get to updating the blog. My apologies to all.  The reason is that we’ve been working tirelessing for weeks on our new location at 229 Commercial Street in Portland Maine.

Our new space has wood floors, exposed brick walls and huge ceiling beams and has a bit more of a warehouse feel than our past location.  We are now completely open on Commercial Street (less a few unpacked boxes) and our selection of designers is as amazing as ever. 

We’ve added some great new designers to the new space including Treesje and Botkier handbags, now featured on our handbag wall. More styles are arriving daily and the wall should be filled with Fall 2010 bags in no time.

A try-on seating section is close by to our new shoe displays with shoe cabinets close at hand so we can check styles and sizes quickly and easily from Joie, Pour La Victoire and  Cynthia Vincent.

Next to the handbag wall is our set of jewely cases complete with a mirror and shelving making it super easy to try on necklaces, earrings and bracelets from Streets Ahead, Gorjana, GemmaRedux, Alex and Ani and our newest ring designer, Tre.

Floating shelving makes viewing our Splendid tees and Me & Kashmiere scarves a pleasure.  For Fall and Winter, you will find these shelves stocked with gorgeous Autumn Cashmere and sweater pieces from Joie, Edun and Rebecca Taylor.

Our new cable hanging rod system makes our collection of contemporary designers like Shoshanna, Elizabeth & James, Nanette Lepore, Son of John, Monrow and so many more really easy to see and pair up with our amazing pieces of denim.

Just beyond the beautiful hanging collections is our glass cube wall filled with your favorite denim designers including Genetic, [Blank], DL1961, Current/Elliott, Rock & Republic, PRVCY premium and more to come soon.

We hope you will come visit our new space and see what’s new for collections including our expanded shoe and handbag designers.

229 Commecial Street (former Decorum space) is next door to Barbour and McKenzieTribe and across the street from Sushi Sapporo.  207.347.4427 www.shopchantal.com
