Shopchantal Stylefile

New Year. New Decade. New Season. New Styles. New Designers. We are excite about it all. 

Spring 2010 is turning out to be full of great trends, both new and carry-overs from last season, and fun styles that range from new denim to colorful accessories.

We had a ton of fun doing a few transistional pieces for our new lookbook pages including 2 ways to wear it.  We styled the Elizabeth and James famous Jessica dress two ways.  Simple additions of a Splendid turtleneck and leggings made it possible to buy this dress now, wear it now and of course, wear it later.

The James Blazer from Elizabeth and James in White was another fun trend to style two ways. Paired with denim for wearing now and then for later with a maxi dress and scarf, this is a piece that transcends seasons.

We’ve also updated out Denim Trends Lookbook with the addition of the one of the most popular styles for Spring, the Slouchy Skinny.  This relaxed skinny style is the easiest way to transisiton into this style for those wanting a more relaxed skinny jeans and for those wary of the skinny style. You can also see our Denim for Women link at the top of each page to see more trends and specific product shots.

New accessories are pouring in everyday and our accessory spotlight has lots of new pages to show ways to wear the the ever-popular scarf.  Whether you like the colorful tie dye look or the more subtle polka dot trend, scarves are the easiest way to wear Spring 2010 before it even hits.   Which by the way, is officially March 20, 2010.

This season the designer shoe collection at shopchantal.com has taken a turn upwards—

Last year, Rebecca Taylor threw us a loop at her Spring runway show that made us leap out of our seats - a pair of slouchy, laser cut, leather open-toe boots!!  OMG! is all that came to mind at the time, followed by “I am going to wear those with my Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans” and then “And with all my dresses, shorts and whatever else I can find”.  This was all followed by a moment of reflection in silence as we planned and plotted all the things to buy for shopchantal.com that would revolve around those boots.  Of course, not everything has to be or can be worn with this boot, but it is fun to think about.

Well, the boot is here and we are not disappointed.  They are beautiful and we are, in fact, wearing them with our Current/Elliott jeans in just about every style- the boyfriend, the skinny slouch and even the rolled shorts. 

Check out the new Rebecca Taylor Collection and Celia Boot at shopchantal.com and join us in planning a summer full of outfits.
