Summer Sale Starts NOW: See some of our Favs still in stock

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Our summer sale starts today with 30% – 70% off all your favorite designers for Women and Men!

Here are some of our picks for easy summer style.

This Nanette Lepore yellow top is so perfect for the summer season.  We love it paired back to cropped denim or a flirty mini skirt. Or dress it up with a belt and longer skirt for an evening event.  The sleeveless cotton is a must have for those hot summer days.

Reg: $215.00   SALE: $150.50

Robert Rodriguez. This dress is the quintessential summer dress. The bold pink color paired with the floral appliques and soft pleats is a stunning combination. With a cute neutral clutch and some nude heels, you will definitely make a statement at any event in this dress.

Reg: $394.00   SALE: $275.80



Some must have TREND pieces of the summer come from a couple of our most popular designers.

The ruffle trend was not one to be missed this Spring and the Summer collections did not disappoint.

What better way to show your style than on the beach in a ruffle bikini.  This Shoshanna bikini in a melon color is the perfect complement to a tan.

Reg: $174.00 (for top & bottom)   SALE: $121.80

A favorite of ours and our customers is Ella Moss.  Her Black Label has proved to be a wonderful addition to her already popular cult favorites in the better know cotton/modal blend. We love the use of the ruffle with a touch of lace on this top.  It’s got a bit of an edge, but works so well because of its color.

Reg: $177.00   SALE: $123.90



Shoes and Handbags cannot be missed either.

The Rebecca Taylor cutout bootie is a wonderful surprise.  We love these with our cropped denim shorts as much as we love them with dresses.

Reg: $495.00  SALE: $346.50

And Donald Pliner never disappoints.  This Patent Red Tortoise bag makes ever outfit shine. We love the texture for summer.

Reg: $775.00 SALE: $542.50

American Chic: Clean, Crisp Style

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Clean, Crisp Style
Clean, Crisp Style

There is just a simple, clean aethestic about our Nation’s colors and patriotic spirit.  Not too bright, not drab, but the perfect combination of neutrals and brights.  If you have been following our blog and our website then you know how fond we are about pairing a simple, neutral piece back to a bright, bold piece.  For us, this combination just screams chic, polished, and effortlessly pulled together.

Just like all well-versed buyers we dedicate hours during the week reading up on our style “bibles” (Elle, Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar), hunting out the latest trends, up and coming designers, and to check out who was seen in what.  There is simply no denying that these publications are also very focused on writing about our new First Family.

No other President and his family have been photographed so heavily for fashion magazines, since the Kennedy’s, as the Obama family has been, and figuring out what Michelle Obama is wearing is just as important to America’s fashion followers as trying to figure out what Angelina Jolie

is wearing.  Therefore, it is no surprise to me that red, white, and blue are making such a huge comeback for Spring/Summer Fashion Trends of 2009.  Our patriotic, fashion appeal is directly correlated with our new found obsession of following the new First Family’s life & style, especially our First Lady. 

 
However, this new take on red, white, and blue is completely different than the days of sailor pants, denim skirts, and crisp, white polo’s.  Michelle Obama’s fashion forward yet polished take on her own style is helping to mold and recreate the interpretation of putting our Nation’s colors together in a very chic, very polished, and non-folksy way.  We have decided to compile our own take on this trend with a new look book titled “American Chic,” creating looks centered around incorporating red, white, and blue into other huge trends of the season (destroyed denim, colored denim, floral prints, and bright, bold dresses). 

Two Toned Neutrals: Style We Crave Now

Celebrities Coveting the Trend

Don’t be concerned about the celebrities above wearing this tonal look and the fact that you have been hearing from us and everyone else that color is huge.  This tonal trend (same color in a range of hues) is actually a must-have trend for next fall. Yes, color is still more popular than ever, but we love the chic simplicity of this neutral trend that is gaining more momentum as we look towards fashions for Fall 2009.  Yes, I know summer has not even officially arrived yet, but it is not too early to wear this tone-on-tone trend now with all the great choices from Spring and Summer Collections.  

Ella Moss Black Label Constantine DressElla Moss Black Label’s Constantine Dress not only provides us with a two-toned neutral style, but also adds in a pop of color.  We love the delicate, tie straps and ballerina-esque skirt.  Pair it back to an edgy jacket for a street-worthy look or wear it with a delicate pair of strappy sandals for a more subdued, feminine style.

Want more of a pop of color while enjoying the two-toned neutrals – Check out the new Donald Pliner Aurora Drawstring bag that just arrived at shopchantal.com.  It’s the perfect accessory to take you from now through next Fall.

So, you don’t have to give up color completely to wear the neutrals trend,  pairing a bright back to a neutral is a great way of combining two trends to create the ultimate look.

Get started on perfecting the trend now and you will be a master come Fall.
