Outfit of the Day in Lilla P & DEPT on August 31, 2010

Shades of gray are always chic and we love tonal ensembles. Wrap yourself up in this yummy cocoon sweater in deep mossy gray by DEPT. The subtle sequin embellishment echoes the silver coin motif of the multi-strand fashion necklace seen here. We show this sweater over Lill P's lighter gray, dolman short sleeved cotton t-shirt. The neckline on this versatile piece can be arranged in a softly draped cowl neck or a more conservative mock turtleneck. Wear this combo over your favorite David Kahn capri white denim and ballet flats now and later over your David Kahn dark denim "jegging's" tucked into your favorite boots. TIP: Jeggings are a great alternative to wearing leggings, as the jegging fits like a legging but has more structure.

Talented Artist, Jennifer Madeley Dunn in Nicole Miller

The talented artist, Jennifer Madeley Dunn (left) chose a gorgeous Nicole Miller Dress to wear to her art event at the Lyric Center this Saturday August 28, 2010. Looking fabulous in her chic frock,  Dunn displayed her impressively engaging and in some cases stunning work along side the equally intriguing work of her fellow artists, Tanna Bennett and Marcus Mann. To view more of their work visit the Dunn Bennett Mann Art Gallery or its Facebook Page.

An artist's statement from Dunn
The creation and exploration of art has been a life long love -- the process of painting colors on canvas, drawing on paper, and cutting on wood and printing. 

Our bodies also hold a physical history as individuals -- with scars, aches, appearances, movement. A vessel for our selves.

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy & Nicole Miller on August 30, 2010

On August 26, we showed you this cute cropped Joy Joy Jacket in a rich honey color all buttoned up and paired back to jeans. Today, we are showing you how fabulous the same jacket in gray looks left unbuttoned and paired back to Nicole Miller's pencil skirt for a more corporate look. As you can see, the versatility of jackets like these is wonderful. We keep this look simple yet chic by accentuating the waist with HYDE's  Snake Print Belt and adorning the neckline  with Via Vandi's Silver Moon Disc Diamond Necklace. As always, Last Tango's Long Tanks are perfect layering pieces for just about any occasion. TIP: Pencil skirts can sit high or low on the waist, depending on the cut. If you are short-waisted find one that is cut low-waisted. If you are long-waisted it is best to go with a high-waisted style.

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy & Joseph Ribkoff August 27, 2010

On our August 24th blog we told you about a totally different look for our Chanel inspired Joy Joy jacket and here it is again!! Chanel herself would approve this sophisticated "work to evening" ensemble. We just received what we think will be our favorite skirt for Fall. Joseph Ribkoff designed this sleek, black, faille, banded pencil skirt in a double knit fabric that is sexy yet easy to wear. The slightly longer length makes it perfect back to this shorter jacket. We layered our jacket over a pink shell by Last Tango and it would be equally smashing over a white silk shell or blouse. Accessorize your neckline with a gold necklace or strands of pearls and we are sure Madame Chanel would give you her seal of approval.

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy & David Kahn Jeans on August 26, 2010

Cute cropped jackets are always easy transition pieces for fall and super versatile to boot! This double breasted Joy Joy Jacket in a rich honey color is neutral yet noticeable with its 3/4 sleeve, pleated peplum waist and adorable, detachable coordinating flower pins. Wear it all buttoned up for a polished look or left open for an effortlessly chic look. For that layered look we added a Last Tango Long Tank in the color "natural" to keep the look tonal. These two pieces look great back to a chocolate or winter white pencil skirt or trouser. Today we kept things causal by pairing them back to our favorite David Kahn Jeans. Tip: Double breasted jackets are often difficult for large chested women to wear, as the layered fabric and multiple buttons can add bulk.

Outfit of the Day in Lilla P and David Kahn Jeans on August 25, 2010

A casual yet chic outfit for today that can take you from running errands to lunch with the girls and can be easily pieced together with great basics found in your closet. This outfit gives you both comfort and style with very wearable pieces. This Lilla P Tee in a neutral hue has a great weight for layering and can be worn by itself with the open cap sleeve and loose turtle neck. This basic  top is great paired back to the David Kahn "Jeggings" that are perfect tucked into these fabulous Seychelles Boots. Keep it simple and add a few accessories; shown here are the Badgley Mischka Anu Crescent Bag, Leighelena's Genuine Leather Cuff, and Via Vandi's Star Light Rings. Tip: Knee-high boots look great with jeans tucked into them, under pants, and with slim knee-length skirts or minis.

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy & David Kahn Jeans on August 24, 2010

Chanel-inspired pieces are big for the fall and this fabulous  new Joy Joy Jacket is no exception. Pile on the pearls, which is also a trend this season and always a classic feminine touch. We love the pink and black contrast pattern on the jacket with the ribbon trim making this an ultra feminine and fun piece to mix into any wardrobe. This topper is so cute paired back to our last tango long tank in black over our favorite David Kahn's jeggings but you can have a totally different look over a fun silk blouse and pencil skirt for work. Tip: Jeans can go from day to night without a hitch if you choose a pair with clean lines and minimum detail.

Outfit of the Day in Lilla P & David Kahn Jeans On August 20, 2010

Lilla P's Ruffle Front Cardigan...what a great new arrival to help transition your summer David Kahn White Denim Capri Pants into a "cool" look for fall. This smashing aubergine cardigan in a cotton lycra blend feels so good on your body. The soft double layered ruffle collar frames your neckline seductively as it cascades down the front of the sweater to give you a sexy long lean look. We layered it over a brighter plum DEPT tank top to give a pop of color and to introduce another hue of this popular shade for fall. A triple strand of pearls completes this ensemble. TIP: All the ruffles down the front can add volume, which works really well for smaller chested women. This particular style can work for larger chested women, because of its deep v-neckline.

Fall is coming...we promise!!

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy & Last Tango on August 19, 2010

The black pencil skirt is a classic and a wardrobe staple. Yesterday, we showed you how you could create a dressy cocktail ensemble with your black pencil skirt. Today, we are showing you a great office outfit by pairing Last Tango's Black Skirt with Joy Joy's Cropped Jacket. Ladylike looks are all the rage this season and what better way to achieve it than with classic pieces you may already have in your closet. TIP: Cropped chunky wool jackets can look boxy so if needed cinch the waist with a fabulous belt like this soft belt by HYDE. We finished off this look with the ever-classic strand of pearls, which is also a piece that is extra hot this season.

Outfit of the Day in Nally & Millie and David Kahn Jeans August 17, 2010

Cool and casual in this Nally & Millie printed burn out tee. We love the off the shoulder style, it's a casual yet stylishly put together look. We belted this over sized tunic tee with our favorite Hyde soft leather belt in black and layered a bra friendly Last Tango long tank underneath so you are still covered while showing some shoulder. This tunic top is so cute and summery paired back to the wonderful David Kahn white ankle length denim to wear right now. Later this tunic top will be cute paired back to a long black legging or jegging under a boyfriend cardi for a fabulous transitional piece. TIP: Off the shoulder looks are generally not appropriate for the office, even on casual Friday! For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.


Outfit of the Day in DEPT & David Kahn August 16, 2010

What a great way to make that transition into fall with Dept's sheer lightweight voile top.  It's deep red, maroon, black, and tan abstract jungle print brings you to a cool exotic place.  The smocking detail at the shoulder, v-neck, and bodice shows off your shape in a most flattering way.  We layer the sheer top over one of Last Tango's comfortable tanks in red.  The super dark ink blue wash of David Kahn's low rise straight leg jean really sets off the bold effect of this outfit. Finish it off with one of our gold multi strand necklaces and you are ready to go to check out the Washington Avenue scene.  Have fun!!!

Outfit of the Day in Black Halo & Joy Joy August 13, 2010

Black Halo and Joy Joy do urban chic! Take cocktail attire and make it appropriate for cocktails this Friday night! Balance out the femininity and elegance of this dress by topping it with a more masculine motorcycle-style jacket that has a hint of girly with the flower pins. This sexy LBD by Black Halo is the perfect cocktail, evening dress and when you add this Joy Joy moto jacket on top you can take this look more casual and edgy. To give this look an even more edgy look put on a pair of super edgy pumps and head out on the town. Tip: If you have a "boyish" figure it is best to avoid jackets that are too boxy or square.

Outfit of the Day in JADE & Nicole Miller on August 12, 2010

Yesterday we showed you how fabulous this grey Nicole Miller Tidal Wave Ruched Dress looks all on its own. Today we totally changed the look by adding JADE's Leopard Printed Trench Coat. As you know, leopard print is a classic, but this fall it has taken center stage as the "must have" print. And what better way to wear this print than on a classic trench, which is also a wardrobe staple. We glammed-up this ensemble with a high drama multi-strand silver-toned coin necklace.  Whether you keep your accessories simple or go dramatic, this outfit will draw attention. TIP: A print like this could be overwhelming on a petite figure.

Outfit of the Day in Nicole Miller on August 11, 2010

Get noticed in this ultra body conscious number by  Nicole Miller. The signature tidal-wave ruching running down the front and back gives great shape, while the body hugging stretch cotton adds comfort and style in a cool shade of grey. This piece will dress up or down without a hitch and is subtly sexy showing your curves, but not too much skin. TIP: When wearing such body conscious pieces, it is best to keep the length closer to the knee versus too short. Today, we added simple silver accessories to complete the look. For another way to wear this dress, add a cropped jacket and belt and a great pair of boots!

Outfit of the Day in JADE & Nicole Miller on August 10, 2010

Fall is all about ladylike elegance and that look has never been easier to achieve than with the wide and beautiful array of options this season. Today, we are pairing Joy Joy's Velvet Trim Jacket and Nicole Miller's Fitted Pencil Skirt to indulge one of our favorite trends. This hounds tooth printed jacket with its tulip-shaped ¾ sleeves, flattering scoop neckline, textured buttons and velvet trim has an effortless feminine feel, while creating a polished and sophisticated style that can also be worn to the office. A great black pencil skirt is a wardrobe must. This one by Nicole Miller has a wonderfully subtle metallic sheen and comfortable stretch-cotton fabric that hugs the body perfectly. TIP:  If you have a long torso high-waisted pencil skirts are best for your body shape.

Wear to work with a slim pencil skirt or slacks or for play with your favorite denim. To finish off the look add accessories and encompass your personal style with either classic pearls or funky, chunky beaded jewels. Tip: If you have a fuller bust it is usually better to avoid high necklines or double breasted style jackets.

Outfit of the Day in 360 Sweaters & David Kahn Jeans on August 6, 2010

Relax it's finally Friday! This comfy boyfriend ensemble is chic and stylish while ultra relaxed and comfortable. 360 Cashmere gives us this deep v-neck pullover in a textured cashmere that is just divine and when paired with our favorite sexy boyfriend jean you have the perfect balance in proportions. We love how adding this printed scarf loosely wrapped around the neck in lieu of a necklace changes it up adding a little bit of funk and fun.

Tip: For a sharper look pair a v-neck sweater with a button front shirt that has a defined collar providing visual balance.For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.

Outfit of the Day in Joy Joy on August 5, 2010

Biker Chic! Joy Joy's Biker Jacket hits all on cylinders as it mixes gorgeous feminine details with edgy style. From the sweet gathered shoulders, removable flower pins and textured sheen fabric to the gold-tone zipper hardware, this piece makes a statement. This fabulous fall find will be smart back to jeans, but today we embraced our wild side by layering it over Joy Joy's Leopard Print Tunic Sweater. The subtle leopard print, flattering v-neckline and long sleeves make this tunic as wearable as it is stylish. Add opaque tights and flats or leggings and boots to finish off this look. TIP: Pleated or puffy shoulder styles can make you appear broader. These cuts are perfect for folks working to balance out narrow shoulders.

Outfit of the Day in 360 Sweater and David Kahn Jeans August 4, 2010

Pamper yourself in this luxurious 100% cashmere Daria sweater from 360Cashmere. With long sleek sleeves and 3/4 length body this lightweight topper in cocoa brown will be a favorite in your wardrobe. The double breasted button detail opens at the neckline to form a sumptuous deep cowl collar. We layered this great sweater jacket over a brick orange cotton lycra tank by DEPT. This bright accent piece picks up the orange in our fashion necklace and really makes this ensemble pop. Add a wide metallic leather belt by Elise M and wear this over our skinny David Kahn jeans or with a smart, short, straight skirt. Then just wrap your arms around yourself and feel how soft life can be!! For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.

Outfit of the Day in Jade on August 3, 2010

It's time to tip your toes into fall, while still keeping things cool and light. A new fall arrival, Jade's Floral Printed Chiffon Dress is fun, flirty and softly feminine, while floating breezily over the body. Its blouson cut, tunic dress style and pleated scoop neckline are just a few of the details that make this piece so special. The artful abstract floral print creates a beautiful pallet of pink, orange, taupe and grey giving you lots of opportunity for accessorizing. Today, we simply added a long multi-strand gold-tone chain necklace for sophistication. To add edge to this ensemble change out the self belt for a chunky metallic belt and pull on a pair of gray or camel color boots.  Tip: All this printed chiffon can overwhelm a petite frame so be sure to accentuate the waist to avoid getting lost in the fabric! For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.

Outfit of the Day in 360 Sweaters on August 2, 2010

Casual chic in cashmere! Luxe cashmere is fabulous and this 360 Cashmere Madison Sweater is no exception. Its versatility for fall and early spring is endless, as you can wear it back to denim, trousers, pencil skirts and more. Today, we took classic summer pieces like David Kahn's white denim and DEPT's red tank and began to transition them to fall with this lovely lightweight cashmere piece, which is a perfect topper for many ensembles. When worn open this sweater drapes effortlessly asymmetrically. Worn closed and belted gives this look more polish and accentuates the waist. Tip: Horizontal stripes can be difficult to wear and can make you look broader. If this is a concern for you, stay with narrow versus wide stripe patterns. Highlight an open neckline with  something fabulous like Via Vandi's Silver Moon Disc Necklace to complete your look. For more information about this and other outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.
