Multiple Personalities: Sweet, Sexy & Sophisticated Styles

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009


We just can’t decide which personality we love more this season so we’ve decided to go with a Multiple Personality Wardrobe.  We are going for styles that are Sweet, Sexy & Sophisticated.  With some added accessories including headbands, bangles and long necklaces, we think we can accomplish a new state of mind every time we dress.

Sweet:  The floral trend is so wearable this Spring (FINALLY).  The bright colors mixed with muted tones and natural belts makes this personality a must for any summer afternoon wedding or party you have on your schedule.  Our summer floral selection is definitely inspiring.

Sexy: A Summer night out in the city can make getting dressed difficult, but luckily we can always rely on mini dresses for a sexy, yet totally wearable look.  We love the Current/Elliott Tulip dress in lightweight denim as well as this bratop style courtesy of Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent. 

Sophisticated:  There is something so wonderful about wearing a beautiful, sophisticated dress during the day in the summer.  Being able to show some leg with a shorter style or some shoulder with a halter neck version can make you inspired to show some tanned skin (faux or real tan- your choice). These sophisticated styles are perfect for that late afternoon cocktail party or wedding.

What is your personality. . . today?


Meet our staff: Who they are and What they love

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

At shopchantal.com, we have been blessed with many staffers having their own “look” and I think it is about time we celebrate this individuality and style.

Every so often, we will be posting favorite looks, designers and overall current style of one staff member. It is inevitable that you will connect with one particular staffer and will gravitate towards their choices.  We think that is awesome and want to help you get a bit more insight into what inspires them to pick what they pick to wear to work and out on the town.

We hope you will look out for this new addition to our blog.  Who knows, maybe you’ll even feel inspired to send us your favorite look from shopchantal.com and we’ll add you to our inspiration board here on the shopchantal style file.

This Month’s Staffer:  Chantal- web/store manager and buyer,  lookbook stylistsocial media-aholic (especially Twitter), wife, mother and beach lover.

 A self-proclaimed “girl of the 80’s”, Chantal adores anything with zippers, hooks, pins, asymmetrical closures and hems, waist belts in every size and color and layering.  You will often see her in hats (fedoras are her fav) and scarves, always see her in Current/Elliott jeans and heels, and forever with a large handbag.  She is never without her signature “c” necklace from Alex Woo and loves rings and bracelets from Gorjana - always in multiples!

Her IPod features: The Clash, T.I., Linkin Park, M.I.A, Kanye West, Coldplay, Akon, Jay-Z, and David Bowie and more.

It is no surprise that she is obsessed with anything and everything Pencey and gets all their pieces from each delivery.
