Outfit: Striped Stylemint Broadway in Hibiscus long sleeve tee is layered under an H&M Turtleneck Sweater, Gap Trouser Shorts similar here, and Joie Coachella boots similar here, Driving gloves by Carolina Amato similar here, Botkier Handbag similar here, Large Green Midnight Soiree Ring from JewelMint

The anticipation for the ShoeMint.com launch this Friday is only enhanced by the recent orders I received from sister sites: JewelMint and Stylemint. 

My JewelMint ring is the Midnight Soiree Cocktail ring and is a dark green stone in a textured band. I love how big it is and that I can wear it dressy or casual.   The StyleMint tee is my first order and I’m  amazed at the quality and how great it fits. I love a pop of color and definitely love the stripes and boatneck.  I can’t wait to get more. Nothing is better than a great fitting tee.

ShoeMint, which is curated by actress and fashion-girl favorite, Rachel Bilson and Stylist Nicole Chavez. launches November 25, but if you sign up now you can earn rewards towards your first purchase. I can’t wait to see the styles.  I’m a girl who loves her shoes!

Happy Shopping.

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”.

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.
