Spring Soiree Style

{ Cult Gaia }

The inspiration for this post was the Oscars. The fashion this year was exceptional. It was hard to pick a favorite, though Zoe Saldana's was the most unique IMHO. This event edit is for your own spring soirees. You'll make the best dressed guest list with any one of these chic choices. There's a style for every budget.

Self Portrait Polk Dot Midi

A shining example of just how cute polka dots can be this spring. It's $655 but with Code: FASHION you will save $100 through March 5th.

Neiman Marcus

Ashere Metallic Knit Dress
Love this look! There was quite a few waist/hip swags like this at the Oscars. It must be flattering. Looks more than the $298 price tag.

Retrofete

De La Vali Lucho Maxi

Sophisticated and sexy in silk chiffon. Loving the chocolate mousse coloring. $625

Moda Operandi

Pleated Lorraine Dress

A pleated crepe dress with lots of alluring sheer fabric. $278

Just so many things to love about this dress. It's boho chic to the max! $1,295

Alice + Olivia

Nicoletta One Shoulder  Scarf Midi
Here's your new LBD, but it comes in six other colors. The back is as interesting as the front. $198

Bardot Rosalyn Midi

Hot but still tasteful on the right body. Not made for a body that is busty. $189.

Prada Embroidered Midi
One of the best styles of the season. The embroidery work is just fabulous. The price is befitting the look of the gorgeous garment. So pricey, I am mot going to put it down.

When I see a dressy dress with sleeves, I jump on it.  You might want to do the same, as this style is only $99.

Mocha Mousse Without The Calories!

Chocolate Mousse is my all time favorite dessert. But brown has never been my favorite color. I own one brown item!  It's a chic coat given to me by a dear friend. The Pantone "Color of the Year," is rich with an earthy refinement. I might add it is also a bit light and fluffy, just like mousse. 

Oscar De La Renta Leather Midi

One of my favorite dresses ever! It's on pre-order from the Spring Summer Collection. Crazy expensive, but you only need to put 50% down to order.

Moda Operandi

Bibi Lou Fur Pumps

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about these unique kitten heels. Probably not practical, but I have included them for their fun factor.

Anthropologie

Miller Knit Top

It's all about the sleeves in this look. It's under $90.

Reformation

The Fleece Everywhere Bag
I own this bag in black. The gold hardware really elevates this hands free carryall. It's perfect for running errands, dog walking, heading to the gym, and so much more. It's on sale!

Dogtooth Man Pant
Once you get past the bad name for this garment, you will see how really good the look is. I'ts perfect if you don't want to wear full on Brown. It's on sale. too. 

Me + Em

L'Agence Sky Sweater

Selected for those strong shoulders and chic crystal buttons.

L'Agence

Apparis Blair Midi Coat

From the best (IMHO)designer of faux fur. It's plush and lush.

Shopbop

Vince Silvana Suede Zip Booties

With a sleek silhouette and very comfortable footbed, this suede bootie checks all of my boxes.

Neiman Marcus

Kenlie Dress
I've grown quite fond of this brand, and only discovered it last year. It's not inexpensive, but the style is so good. A chic choice for a Winter wedding. Available in other colors, too.

Simkhai

Cynthia Rowley Gold Flower Belt
A good belt will last forever. I have one very much like this from the 70's. This will add so much to a simple outfit.

Verishop

A fun Etsy find for the holidays: The Liberty Santa Sack is monogrammed in Liberty of London fabric, and perfect for gift packaging.
