If you’ve been looking for the perfect, ribbed T-shirt henley dress, look no further. We have found the most amazing version from Soft Joie. The Soft Joie January Dress. A black rib jersey dress with brown leather belt included.

And the best part of this dress, we have it now! 

We couldn’t resist ordering this great piece when we saw it.  Because it is a resort piece, I think I mostly pictured it layered up with Commando tights, the Rebecca Taylor Military coat, the beautiful Joie Coachella over the knee suede boot and an Olivia Harris bag for a look.

But then I started thinking about how I else I could wear it. Just switch out the belt (the belt comes with the dress, but is removable) and replace it with a Streets Ahead black waist belt, some Plush fleece lined tights, the Pour La Victoire Darien bootie and the Pencey Puffer Coat for a totally different look.

And then again….  I started dreaming of the Twelfth Street wedges we are getting in for Spring ’11 and pairing them up with this dress and then adding a gorgeous floral Me & Kashmiere scarf. Another great look to take this dress into the new season!

Realizing the infinite possibilities, I ordered this dress and I hope you take your style and make this dress your own.

Sienna Miller bundled up for the Season

It’s that time of year again… winter is sneaking up on us quickly and before we know it, it will be on our doorsteps.

Now is the time to start thinking about how you will be “cold weather ready“.  Here are are a few tips to help you get through the season while still looking chic and stylish.

Underlayers are key in the Northeast.  You should never under estimate the extra layer of simple long sleeve tees and turtlenecks.  Splendid is a shop favorite which is why we keep stocked up starting in September and don’t stop until March. An easy cotton/modal blend underlayer can also add a pop of color under a loose woven knit or under the new selection of cropped sweaters.

Sweaters. The obvious cashmere, wool, angora and mohair sweaters, vests and wraps.  Autumn Cashmere, Edun, Joie, Oonagh and more. And let’s not forget cotton fleece and sweatshirts from our other favorites- Kain Label, Monrow and LNA. 

Tights and Leggings. We can’t live without the Fleece Lined Tights from Plush. Each year they come up with another great color or style and they are true must-haves.  This year we are loving the addition of the leg warmers from them – Simple, easy ways to layer your legs for those cold walks to the coffee shop. We also love Commando’s opaque tights for layering too.

Warm Accessories. Scarves from Me & Kashmiere are a done deal – all year long.  We love the all wrapped up under our coat collars for a gorgeous pop of color.  Carolina Amato and Autumn Cashmere have upped the gloves this year with the classic pop-top and fingerless options. They also both did scarves with Autumn Cashmere stealing our hearts with the new neck warmers and tube scarves - Genius!  And don’t forget your skull cap or snood. A hat is a must. I wear one everyday – even indoors sometimes and always will. The snoods are my fav- slouchy and cute with my long hair.

Their newest collection, Soft Joie, takes all the wonderful elements of the core line, Joie, and gives us a few color choices in about 10-12 different silouettes. Simple, throw-on tanks with pleat details, flowey cami’s , short sleeve tees - with and without the ruffles - and long sleeve tunic styles that is so true to Joie that it is carried in both Joie and Soft Joie.

A favorite at chantal. and shopchantal.com, Joie has the wonderful combination of so many different styles that we love – most notably the “California girl” look mixed with bohomian chic styling.  It’s a look that would generally be hard to carry off on the East Coast, but this is one designer that make it so effortlessly easy that customer keep coming back for more and more. 

We can’t get enough of the throw on dresses for summer.  Flowing and with some ruffle details or picktucking, these dresses are an easy, stylish way to get out of the house and make the most of summer. We also love them belted and with heels for a night out with out all the fuss.

And we love the pleated detail tank pieces back to fitted, cropped, distressed denim from Current/Elliott for a chic, girly look. Pair this combo with Joie oxfords flats - a huge trend that we are loving as a nice change from the typical ballet flat and you have a go – to outfit for day.  Throw on a blazer or button up from Elizabeth and James to complete your night time look.

Already a loyal fan and now having seen Fall 2010 in Soft Joie, I urge you to give this line a try today- you will love all it has to offer now and in the future.
