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.

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.

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.

Spring is finally here! It's almost time to store away those heavy coats, and slip into something brighter and lighter. Here's a roundup of the season's best coats, trenches, jackets, and cardigans. They will keep you comfortably chic throughout the season. 

La Double J Milano

Let's get the sticker shock out of the way. I begin with the most expensive, because it is the most exciting to me. The vibrant pattern and color will brighten up the rainiest day. Made in Italy from slightly stretchy canvas fabric.

Net-a-Porter

Cassidy Jacket

Denim done differently. So many details, beginning with the faded red denim, the raw pleated hem, those buttons and stand up collar. A great piece for under $170.

Kate SpadeFloral Embellished Raincoat

Playful and purposeful. This stylish slicker will have you singing in the rain!

"Flat White" is the brand name which is new to me. This jacket will top off everything you wear this spring.

The classic trench got an upgrade in silky satin.I have a satin trench. It really comes in handy in spring and fall. Love the dressy look. This one is on sale.

Luxury and ease. Soft elegance. Loving the textured mix, metal detailing, and strong shoulder. It's in the perfect length and oh so pretty.

Here's a chic but budget friendly, (under $80) denim jacket. The length elevates your average jean jacket.
