Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

It is one of the most fabulous season’s for boots - Over-the-knee, Fringe Detailed, Riding, Motorcycle and the staple of every winter season in the Northeast: the Rugged boot.

Our favorite designers did not disappoint this season. We have every style you need to get you thru Winter and in most cases, well into Spring.

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent’s Reva Over the Knee boot could not be more perfect- it’s higher style and small heel are the perfect combination in a luscious black suede. Now: $276.50.

And, her riding inspired Watson boot is a Cognac leather color that cannot be riveled- it is so gorgeous and supple and so easy to wear that we found a ton of ways to pair it with everything from dresses to leggings. Now: $276.50.

Joie had one of the most coveted boots of the season in their New Orleans Motorcycle boot - it’s vintage leather and double buckles made this boot an easy to wear trend.  Now $325.50.

Joie also did a great fringe style boot that is easy to pair with jeans and dresses without looking over the top.  The Rockefella Fringe boot is a gorgeous Mushroom Suede with a heel height perfect for a shorter boot style. Now on Sale: $276.50

A newcomer to shopchantal, CAT (yes, as in Catapillar) Footwear stepped into the ring with a really cool Rugged Cassidy boot in a worn brown leather with buckle.  The best part is the sole- super easy to wear and great in the winter snow.  It just goes to show that you don’t have to give up style in these tough dressing months of winter. Now: $109.20.

It’s the perfect time to get one of these great styles that you can wear now and into Spring. Check out out lookbook for some great styling ideas too.


Fringe: Factor it in your wardrobe this season

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Everything in moderation is something my father always told us.  Of course, he wasn’t talking fashion, but it is a good motto to live by and apply to many facets of life - including fashion.

I love mixing trends and styles: slouchy pants with a girly top, tough boots with a flowey dress and my favorite trend of all time- studs.  I will buy and wear just about anything with studs and love to pair it with sweet tops.

Fringe is not a new trend, especially with handbags and shoes, but it is a trend that is worthy of mentioning again because it has longevity.  Really.  Last year we saw fringe details from the top designers and again they did it this year. 

Joie is a perfect example of the fringe trend transcending from last year to now.  The did a cute flat fringe boot and reinvented the style in a heel for fall. The Rockefella is gorgeous and the perfect heel.  We love the Mushroom color- so neutral.

Twelfth Street handbags have a subtle use of fringe making the Smith Couture Bucket Bag a must have for anyone wanting to wear the trend, but wants it in moderation.

Ella Moss Black Label is all about ruffles and fringe and tiers.  That’s why we love it so. The Ella Moss Black Label Coco Cami is a fantastic fit and has the softest fringe.  It moves beautifully with the body.  We love it back to colored denim, distressed shorts from Current/Elliott and even back to white linen pants for a night out.

Looking for an easy way to transition into this trend for fall in a subtle way?

Look at scarves for inspiration.  We love the scarves from Shawlsmith London for the fringe detail and for seasonal colors.

So, wear fringe in moderation with accessories or wear it all out in a top or dress, but whatever way you decide, Factor Fringe into your Fall wardrobe.
