A long time fav at shopchantal.com is Splendid.  Known for their wonderfully, soft and wearable tees, tanks, dresses and more which are primarily Modal and Cotton blends. They are a staple yet always a fashion piece.

The newest edition to the Splendid family of “must haves” is the Sleeveless Flare Cardi.  An easy, comfortable, stylish item that can be worn over just about everything.  It is a wonderful take on our ever so popular Splendid Flare Cardi - we literally wear one everyday!

We love it flowing over a fitted graphic top, belted over a slimming tank or left open over a beautiful dress.  The possibilities are endless and so will the selection of colors as the season progresses.  Currently we have the sleeveless flare cardi in your basics-  White and Black and also a beautiful Lagoon.  Of course, you could also jump on the trend set with the gorgeous neutral/white stripe version - this one is great over bright colors of the season.

Buy them now and check back often for more colors.  This statement piece is sure to win you over and become a favorite in your closet.  Trust us!

Leopards and Tigers and Jaguars - Oh My!

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

This season we are seeing some really “fierce” animal prints from some unlikely sources.  We expect it from Rebecca Taylor who always has a leopard cardi in one collection or another, but to see it from Edun  and Nanette Lepore is surprising.  And we love the Me & Kashmiere threw in several animal prints this season - some of which we already sold out of!

Not ready for a strong support statement like the Nanette Lepore Spring Coat in a taupe and green leopard? Then try a colorful print in a cashmere scarf or a beautiful Maxi dress in a soft color combination.  Edun designer, Ali Hewson, is known for having travel experiences inspire each and every collection and this Spring’s is no exception.  Her recent trip to Africa was the driving force behind these fabulous tees and they are an easy statement paired back to denim or beautiful linen pants.

Any way you try this trend, you will definitely look ahead of the pack!
