Update Classic Styles and Create your own Sophisticated Look
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Though this season couldn’t be more edgy & dramatic, feminine styles are still big and can be paired with other girly styles to create the timeless & romantic look that we have all come to know and love.
We are loving the glamorous appeal of this look, along with the versatility of the pieces used to create it. Elizabeth and James is a major player within this arena and has offered up some of our favorite flirty pieces that include jackets, skirts, & tee’s with just the perfect amount of high-style. The best part about investing in pieces from their fall collection is they work beautifully paired back to all our other designer’s fall collections, and also so much you already have in your closet.
Shoshanna, another cult favorite when it comes to finding that girly & sophisticated look, has offered up some amazing styles that are not only warm, but feature some high style! Her Shawl Collar Sweater Dress is a classic style that offers an abundant amount of versatility. Wear it with leggings (or tights) & boots to create a cozy look or pair it with a blazer & scarf for a more polished appeal!
Or you may be looking for that perfect dress to wear to all your holiday parties that is going to give you longevity for the rest of the season? Shoshanna’s Belted Peplum Dress is sure to impress even the girliest of girls! We love the gold belt detail with the flirty ruffle at the hip, such a strong & feminine trend! A statement necklace is all you’ll need to complete this look, and Pour La Victoire’s Blanche Heel wouldn’t hurt, either!

Other silhouettes & pieces we love for creating this look include: Graham & Spencer’s Washed Silk Cami, Shoshanna’s Strapless Pleat Detail Dress, and Nanette Lepore’s Hollywood Dress. All portray that true, lady-like persona with details and finishings that are timelessly stylish!
New styles for the season are pouring in everyday. Pairing a classic style that makes you feel comfortable with an updated trend like a cropped blazer from Rebecca Taylor or moto jacket from Mike & Chris can make your look fresh and interesting. These styles just arrived this week at chantal. and will be on shopchantal.com next week.
