Spring's Standout Styles

{ Via Bergdorf's }

This season's fashion has been really lovely. Nothing earth shattering, just very nice. I spent yesterday looking for standout styles. There were many, and it was hard to edit the list. These are what made me smile the most. As always, there is a price point for all budgets. 

Anne Fontaine Andalouse Dress

Oh be still my heart. This is evening elegance at its' finest. The ruffled appliques at the neckline makes it a standout. Beautiful!

Nordstrom

Doen Fringe Pant & Tunic Dress

Oh how I love this look! It's cut from luminous silk satin. Best yet, you can wear the dress on it's own.

Lavon Fringe Pant   Stella Dress 

The Arivine Dress

I no longer wear a mini, but if I did, this would be in my closet. Think of the fun accessorizing the look with lucite!

Alexis

The Everything Shirt

An oversized cotton shirt with dropped shoulders. It comes in many shades including black. This fawn shade is so perfect for warmer weather.  Love it for off white and white pants.

Sold Out New York

Noura Fringe Midi Dress

This would have been a 'must have" for my younger self. How fun! Love the fringed and frayed hem. 

Alemais

Simon Miller Mona Crepe Dress

This marvelous maxi gets my vote for the most fun dress of the season. If you are looking for something unique you will find it here.

Simon Miller

Ulla Johnson Motherwell Pants & Top

Ulla has gone all out with her fabrics this season. These pants are a satin washed cotton poplin, with a subtle sheen. You won't see yourself coming and going in these. I would most likely pair a black top or jacket with them.

Ulla Johnson

Arakii Knitted Maxi

Elegant and figure flattering. I was surprised to see that it was knit! Under $500 Exclusively at ...

Moda Operandi

Duster Long Cardigan
A piece like this is so fun to have in your wardrobe. You can wear it from the beach to the bistro. It's all cotton so it becomes a light layer. Very pretty over black or white pants

Anthropologie

Miles Dress & Cardigan

Where couldn't you wear this outfit? It's creaded from a very soft knit. The touches of fringe are super fun.

Posse

Cinq A Sept Deanna Jacket

Blazers and jackets are what this brand does best. Loving the many details like pleats, ruffles, and balloon sleeves.

Bloomingdale's    and    Shopbop

Cargo Pants & Jacket

Love these all cotton cargo pants. It's a youthful look for sure, but dressing your age isn't always fun. The jacket is viscose, but just perfect for the pants. Both pieces are affordable.

Mango

Cotton Skirt & Knotted Top

What distinguishes this look as  a "standout," is the cotton fabrication, price and ease of wear. As shown it is an easy breezy summer look. Layer a jacket or wrap over it, and it can look totally different. Love the shash on the top. Each piece is $70.

Mango

Tuckernuck Silk & Cashmere Cardi
Included in this edit because you don't often find a silk and cashmere sweater. And this color "Pear" is divine, and so good with black. Also available in ivory, pink and navy.

Florals Have Bloomed For Spring

Yes, You Can Buy Yourself Flowers & Mom, Too

{ Via: Kate Spade }

 Flowers are a lovely gift any time of the year, for any reason. But they do fade and that is always sad. When putting this post together, I was thinking of mothers, spring, and women in general. There is something for gifting yourself or a woman you love. These floral forward finds will not fade. If you are thinking Mother's Day.....better get going.

Baum & Pferdgarten Sweater

Just the sweetest look. A cotton sweater can be worn all year long, and becomes the light layer you need on a chilly flight, at the movies, or in a restaurant. This is a new designer to me. And I love it.

Anthropologie

Leather Double Bracelet 

A late addition to this post. It just now came across my desk. How fun and favulous! The fora motif softens the black leather. It also comes in white. Gucci will overnight it to you for free, if you order by May 7th. $330

Gucci

Gifting Moms or anyone with a potted plant is a lovely and traditional idea. But a plant without an attractice pot is simply not dressed.  Your gift will look better in this. These are just great, and priced affordably.

Terrain

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Soap

If you were sending flowers, peonies are always a pretty pick. Their scent is just a joy for the senses. This bar creates a creamy lather that will elevate her daily routine. It's a thoughtful little gift. $30

The Weekend Wrap Up

{ Via: Anthropologie }

 Have you read the news? The Devil Wears Prada opens today. Will you go see it or wait for it to stream? I think that I have a date scheduled. So in honor of this fun happening, today's color palette is black & white with pops of red. Enjoy the best links of the week, and interesting stories.

Wide legs and polka dots are a delicious duo. These are exclusive to Moda Operandi. They are low on sizes, but I found this pair from Alix of Bohemia, that are quite the same.

Here's an idea for Mom ~ Chanel's Youth Boosting Routine! It's luxurious and well, it's Chanel! Some of these products are exclusive to Chanel.com. They gift wrap and ship fast for free. 

A wow piece from Lapointe. Suitable for any opening. It's made from embroidered feathers.

The Shirt     The Pants

Anything from Alexis Bittar is a winning gift for most women. This red lucite ring, makes every day a red letter day. I love it, and it comes in many other colors.  If you are really interested in her jewelry, Saks and Neiman Marcus have a selction at 25% off, but they dont carry this style.
