Lovely and Layered




Layering is a chic and simple way to create a look that is both of-the-moment and uniquely your own.  Today I've decided to highlight that very element as seen done so effortlessly by favorite blogger, Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific.  Blair takes staple pieces and adds bits of brilliance to create this sweetly demure spring look.  What's really wonderful about this way of styling is that you often don't need to replenish your wardrobe but rather discover clever ways to reinvent it.  Here are a few uncomplicated tips for creating lovely layered looks...

[ONE:  Start with What You Already Own]  Have a favorite dress or top that you feel is 'strictly summer'?  Pull out those favorite pieces, the brighter the better.  See which ones carry a neutral or versatile feel (yes, colors can be worn as neutrals now) and hold them aside for now.

[TWO:  Pick Out Your Favorite Blouses and Knit Tees]  Which one of us doesn't have a collection of much-loved layering tees or blouses?  That's the good news.  The problem arises when we get stuck in the mode of feeling like we can only wear them as defining pieces instead of beautiful accents.

[THREE:  Mix and Match]  Now here's where some of us need to leave our comfort zone and simply play.  Don't be afraid to mix what might seem like mismatched pairs.  It's often these very pieces that come together with the most pizazz.  The pairing of this black and white three-quarter length sleeve tee with this far from casual colorful cap sleeve dress perfectly shows how unexpected choices lead to uniquely beautiful outcomes.  Go back to those seemingly seasonal pieces you selected earlier and layer them over lace tees, patterned blouses or stretchy striped tops.  You'll be pleasantly surprised how fresh and fun the look becomes.

[FOUR:  Add in a Unique Sense of Who You Are]  Every fashion icon has been renowned for a sense of presence and a style mark all her own.  For some it's a silhouette, for others an unmistakable quality (think the ladylike glam of Audrey Hepburn or classic elegance of Jackie O.).  What is it for you?  Take whatever it is that speaks to you and add some element of that to the overall look.  Do you favor a feminine feel?  Add a bow belt or a gorgeous delicate bracelet or bangle.  A menswear fan?  A chunky boyfriend watch is the perfect accessory to add dimension to your look.  As you see, Blair has done both so beautifully.  Most importantly, remember to make the look your own while following these simple tips.  

Now is the perfect time to use the great pieces you already own to add interest and self-expression to your daily look.  I'd love to see how you do it.  Send along your photos of you looking lovely and layered and I'll post your favorites so we can all share our looks.


Thanks so much for reading and have a beautiful Monday!

Jewelry Box by Chic Saturday


Each season, I find that there is one designer or brand that effortlessly captures the imagination via a particular piece or collection.  This season that brand is the ever-evolving J. Crew and their jewelry collection.  In retrospect I can clearly see that it all began with introduction of the now iconic bubble necklace.  At the time, the concept of a bib necklace was new and even a bit questionable for so many of us.  Now, statement necklaces are the crowning jewels of oh-so-many outfits.  These bright baubles are luscious to look at and play beautifully with the colors, textures, patterns and prints currently being seen everywhere.  Definitely makes it hard to choose just one.  Then again, who says you have to?

Wishing you a lovely Friday!

Welcome Spring


Welcome Spring!  Although you can't necessarily tell by looking outside, spring is here and most of us couldn't be happier.  If the weather outside is not quite ready to greet you, you can still bring spring inside with these beautiful ideas and ways to say hello to the beautiful new season.
Let's take a peek...

via
Cheer up your kitchen with the addition of gorgeous spring plants like these.  Set them near the open light, provide a little love and you'll be admiring their beauty well into summertime.

via
Nothing says springtime quite like the addition of color to an otherwise neutral room.  I especially love the use of bright blue, navy, apple green and yellow to so perfectly complement crisp whites.

via
This look says girly and feminine of course, but it is also a wonderful way to feel ready for a day in the sunshine the moment you walk into the room.



via
Accent pillows are an easy and versatile way to add color and freshness to any room.


via
Fresh flowers....always a mood lifter, always a must have.


via
A pretty pop of pink does so much to add a lovely sense of elegance to a foyer and bring out the best in black and white.


These are some of my favorite ways to get a home ready for the sunshine filled days ahead.  What are yours?  

Happy Spring!

Hello Yellow




The latest luscious hue that I am currently craving is....YELLOW.  From tees to totes and jackets to dresses, this color is quickly becoming a spring and summer favorite of mine.  From the look of things on the racks, it seems I'm not the only one.  Yellow plays as a beautiful neutral this year as well as lovely contrast to classics like grey and beige.  

There are so many ways to enjoy wearing this color trend.  Try experimenting with a soft scarf  that ties together a basic white top and dark denim.  Finish the look with a pair of patent leather ballet flats showing a modest bit of gold hardware at the toe or heel back.  

I am really loving the idea of getting a yellow staple piece too, like this Trent Rain Jacket.  I feel like you could easily pair it with a softly printed bottom {think slim skimmer pants in muted hues or a cute pair of patterned shorts like these seen here} and wear it as a contrasting piece.  Alternately, you could use its bright color to liven up an otherwise ordinary outfit by putting it on over a solid white, stone or navy outfit. Mix in a cute pair of patterned or print flats in complementing colors and you're out the door.

Another catchy way to wear this color?  As a pretty feminine floral.  This pattern looks especially fresh when paired with a soft striped tee, perfect for layering.  Thinking outside of the box a bit, you could even boldly wear a striped tee over a printed or floral dress for instant freshness.

No matter which way you prefer it, yellow brings a little bit of sunshine everywhere it goes.  How will you be wearing your latest color crush?

Have a lovely Monday and thanks so much for reading!

XO,

Kelly

J. Crew: It's What CHIC Right Now






Does J. Crew ever really fail to impress?  Originally touted as the iconic preppy brand, J. Crew has since evolved into that and so much more.  With Jenna the Lyoness at the helm, the brand now leads the pack in the world of classic style possessing a strong, chic edge balanced by feminine charm.  What I love best about doing {almost all} my shopping here is the way print mixing and matching is effortlessly combined with daring experiments in color, all resulting in a gorgeous and legendary ladylike finish.

Today's inspiration?  Spring florals, boldly saturated colors and a hint of that "borrowed from the boys" style. This is my favorite of-the-moment look right now.  How about you......what are you currently craving?


Have a beautiful Wednesday!

BOBBI BROWN Spring Florals 2013





It's certainly no secret that I am a huge fan of makeup maven Bobbi Brown and there's an ever-growing number of reasons why this is so.  Just when you think that she couldn't come up with another tip, trick or tool to help women discover their own unique beauty, she comes up with all of these wrapped up in a simple yet satisfying palette or kit.  Today's post is dedicated to these very such items so beautifully named The Lilac Rose Collection and a few complementary pieces to round out the bouquet.  

Several of these pretties are LIMITED EDITION pieces so if you know you want it or love it, best to get it while you can.

LIMITED EDITION LILAC ROSE EYE PALETTE:  Gorgeous colors every woman can wear.  Dusty done right, these pink, heather greys and lily shades translate beautifully onto all skin tones.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE DUO WITH MINI BRUSH:  The go-to concealer of Bobbi's devotees, this powerful pair cancels darkness and brings forth light for that highly coveted, well-rested look.  Complete with this mini brush, the two color duo let's you blend your way to beautiful.

BOBBI'S BASICS:  Described as "a curated collection of Bobbi's favorite products and most timeless shades" this set is a staple for every woman's makeup drawer.  Complete with color-coordinated shades, a mini  shadow liner brush, pot rouge and Bobbi's best-selling mascara and gloss, this set is hard to pass up.

LIMITED EDITION LILAC ROSE SHIMMER BRICK AND LIP GLOSS:  Sorbet shades of pink embracing golden, shimmery and bright, this shimmer brick brings skin to life, infusing it with that gorgeous and ethereal lit from within glow.  Skin that radiates health is perfectly paired with a softening gloss that works both on bare lips as well as over your favorite lip color.  Another double duty beauty...her shimmer brick works flawlessly as an eyeshadow as well when individual bars are applied to the eyes.  Simple and beautiful.

With beauty picks like these, it can't help but be a lovely Monday.  Love to hear what your faves are.  Thanks so much for reading!

     It's official!  March is now here and we've turned the corner towards warmer days ahead.  Even if it's just a little bit milder out, it is a sure sign that spring is waiting to wake up.  To help welcome its arrival, you're likely in search of a few key pieces that will wake up your wardrobe as well.  No need to search the stores to find them, chic Saturday has already done that for you and they're all right here. You can even find some of them on SALE this weekend with 20% off at J. CREW and 30% off your purchases at The Gap and Banana Republic.  Now who can resist that? Let's take a peek...







Spring Trends to Try Now





Trends can be tricky and a bit intimidating, to say the least.  With these four, however, you can rest-assured that you will look fresh, feel confident and enjoy putting yourself together each morning.

STRIPES:  This pattern is a proverbial springtime favorite and can be worked into your closet in an infinite number of ways.  From the typical tops and tees to the standout piece of footwear {think smoking slipper} amid an otherwise solid top and bottom, stripes can liven up any look.  Blazers, blouses, skirts and even handbags are all seeing stripes this season and looking great.  Don't be afraid to branch out with this trend as you come to find the pieces that you like best.

FLORALS:  Yes, I know what you're thinking, florals were made for wallpaper in a distant decade.  I can't say that I didn't feel the same not so long ago.  Now, I've begun to change my mind.  With shades, patterns and designs that are eye-catchingly cute, this trend is quickly becoming one of my favorites!  Some key points to keep in mind when wearing this look would be to aim to incorporate one flowered piece per outfit.  Pretty floral denim skimmer pants work beautifully with a white jacket and a pastel peplum peeking out from underneath.  Feminine and oh-so fresh.

THE BRIGHT BAG:  Color is simply everywhere in the world of handbags and we girls couldn't be happier.  From sweet sorbet shades to luscious pastel hues, these leather accessories are popping!  Done in soft, supple finishes, they are the perfect companion to any of these looks seen here.

THE SILK BLOUSE:  Now for la piece de resistance, the silk blouse.  If there is one staple being seen simply everywhere this spring, it is the silk blouse.  Color blocked, patterned, dotted or striped, the choices seem nearly endless and that is a lovely thing.  One of my favorite ways to style this piece is to pair it with a sweet skirt or a bright-colored pair of skinnies, contrasting belt and an easy fitting shoe {aka the ballet flat} in a complementing color.  Strap a great crossbody bag over your shoulder {in one of those irresistible colors we just mentioned} and you're out the door.


Just talking about these looks now has me ready to raid my closet and do some serious spring cleaning!  I always find it refreshing and rewarding to do this because you almost certainly uncover a few cute little pieces you had forgotten all about.  Why not grab them and work them into one of these new looks?

Wishing you a lovely Friday and wonderful weekend...thanks, as always, for reading!
