Outfit of the Day in Muse and Hyde Belts on January 31, 2011

Throw a short dress over next season's craze, a high-waisted wide leg jean! This feminine lil' frock by Muse is super cute when worn over bare legs ( sneak a peek on the website) but we've found yet another way to wear her!!  Because the hem of the dress falls in the same hip-to floor line as the denim, it totally works! By belting the natural waist with this skinny, bow belt by Hyde, we've created a much sought after long, lean leg-line!  The feminine touches like the ruffle sleeve and lace print provide lots of character so we left accessories minimal, showcasing this black agate ring by Marcia Moran. Wear your sky-high wedges, which are arriving here at FCB veeeryyy soon, and you will be towering above the rest, fashionably speaking that is :) For more information like this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.frenchcuffco.com.

Outfit of the Day in Pink Tartan and 360 Cashmere on January 28, 2011

Pink Tartan definitely made us puuurrrrr when we unveiled this beautiful piece from their spring delivery! Today we chose to smartly layer it up because we are wanting to wear it, NOW!  Ok, so if you ever see a cashmere vest and wonder "How would I wear this?" Well, there are so many functional and fabulous ways to wear one and today we've wrapped it around our silk jersey shirt dress!  Its such a rich way to warm up this piece without covering up the adorable animal print!! If you'll notice, we've belted the vest using the tie that comes with the dress. It gives you a great waistline while carrying out the print through the entire ensemble! Keeping the lines long and unbroken, we added these natural boots by Seychelles and brought out the black print found in the dress with this great leather bag by High Fashion Handbags.  For more information like this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.frenchcuffco.com.

Outfit of the Day in Muse and Big Buddha on January 27, 2011

Arrive looking mod-ly magnificent in this poppy orange shift by Muse!! Take a big sigh, ladies because this  outfit is easy on the wallet but will have everyone wondering where you got each and every piece!! Big Buddha delivered us a fabulous order of spring bags that are phenomonal!!!! This sand colored, chanel-inspired one  is an FCB favorite, for sure! Its perfect for Spring and will have you singing its praises as it poshly completes any and all ensembles! As you see today its balancing the bright colors commonly found in spring dresses by adding great texture with the lattice-print and raw edges lining the handle and outline of the bag.  The Leighelena cuff, Marcia Moran blue agate ring and gold dangly pods by Melinda Maria were no brainer additions just building on the color palette of this beautifully layered dress. Last but certainly not least, a shoe is EVERY-thing in an outfit and this Woodpecker pump by Seychelles is spot-on in completing this feminine look.  For more information like this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.frenchcuffco.com.

Anybody needing an Audrey Hepburn moment?! There's nothing more classically chic than pairing crisp black and white with sweet pearls and pumps! This drape front, 3/4 sleeve knit by Lilla P came in a couple days ago and we were immediately thrown back to an all-time favorite decade, where the styles were oh- so lady-like and just plain timeless!  Sweetly peeking out from these adorably, fresh ankle pants by Joseph Ribkoff are the perfect day pump by Seychelles, complete with bow and all! Delicately carrying our Big Buddha lady-like bag we complete our look from head to toe and everything in between!! :) For more information like this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.frenchcuffco.com.

Outfit of the Day in 360 Cashmere and Envi on January 25, 2011

With spring arriving daily in stores and the weather not exactly cooperating, why not cozy up to your new OR last season's spring dress by throwing on an over sized sweater like this boat neck version by 360 Cashmere?? Adding a simple lil' belt to pull it all together will allow you a new option when you just cant seem to wear the same skinnies and boots one more day in a row!! Ok, so this look might not be for the brave girls who are climbing out of snow on a daily basis, but for those of us who are blessed with milder temps, this ones for you. Shades of orange are being seen all over the place next season. Why not give it a test run with your winter-wear!? And let me tell you ladies, this supremely soft cotton dress by Envi and light as a feather cashmere sweater is an unbelievably comfy combo! Paired with a great pair of neutral boots, mixing a little color in your life has never been so easy!

Outfit of the Day in 360 Cashmere and Seychelles on January 24, 2011

Look positively 'royal' in our rich cashmere vest and blazer combo! The lux mixture of textures is simply gorgeous. 360 Cashmere's vest is complete with its own smartly placed pockets that, besides being adorable, could actually come in handy! To protect your figure we suggest a little waist cinching belt, like this one from Belgo Lux.  Tip: When belting thicker fabrics its key to use a skinnier belt so you aren't looking.... overcooked, shall we say?  Our indigo skinnies contrast beautifully under this neutral palette and the obvious choice in finishing off this polished ensemble are these soft, suede boots by Seychelles.

So soft and inviting you wont want to take it off!!!! When placed over this FCB favorite, Aaron Ashe silk tunic and these glamorous, hot-off-the-runways, high-waisted trouser jeans from 7 For All Mankind, we have a look that is simply divine! We punched up this fresh, breezy look by slipping on this skinny metallic belt by Hyde.

Outfit of the Day in Joseph Ribkoff and Via Vandi on January 18, 2011

Designers are famous for showcasing strong nautical themes throughout their collections every spring. This year, Joseph Ribkoff set the tone with this waist whittling, navy striped dress, a sailors delight, for sure ;) The sexy sleeve design is soft yet striking all at once! Brightly polished silver is the perfect way to accessorize this look and is highlighted beautifully when rubbing shoulders with the color navy. Today, we chose the Falling Pod Pave earrings and Minipod bangle by Melinda Maria. For a playful, fresh flare we placed this delicate aquachalcedony ring by Via Vandi on her finger. What can I say, it just made us smile! Throw on your favorite nude or metallic heels before you head out and you're good to go!

Smarten up this little ruffle front dress by Fifteen Twenty with your tuxedo blazer, tights and that's right....a simple little black flat! In this case, Seychelles made  a patent, faux skin leather pair that we LOVE!  They are the perfect change in texture paired next to these charcoal tights. Its slightly pleated, pointy toe is right on trend with the lady-like looks flashing across your favorite fashion mags right now. We kept accessories minimal and let the different textures, trims and frills do the talking today. But, adoring our accessories as we do here at FCB...  we added this Melinda Maria minipod bangle for a tiny touch of shine.  For more information like this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.frenchcuffco.com.

Outfit of the Day in Drew and Jade on January 18, 2011

If your a fan of nautical looks for spring, then this Navy and White striped racer back tank by Drew is a must have! It's asymmetrical flare is a great shape for all body types, not to mention comfortable! When wearing basic stripes such as these, it is fun to throw on a splash of color, like this Jade cinched waist cardigan. We love this sweater in EVERY color, but chose orange in this case for just the right amount of pop! The length of this tunic is great for a pair of skinny jeans or of course the new favorite for some women, the "jegging," a jean-legging combo, which can only add to the comfort of this outfit! Another favorite accessory to top off the nautical theme, are bows. That is why this neutral pair of Seychelles heels with this cute, little bow are a cute and soft touch to balance out the look. Don't forget to throw on your favorite punches of gold to liven up the outfit. A large pendant such as Melinda Maria's Druzy Pendant necklace, and simple gold earrings do just the trick!

That's not a statement we throw around lightly, but this look is such a heavy hitter, it calls for it! Finding a pencil skirt is a definite task and we believe this one ties in femininity, shape and style all in one!  It even comes with this great, skinny belt!! Tailor the hem to your perfect length and VOILA! We chose to decorate her ears alone with these soft hoops by Via Vandi, continuing the feminine, simplistic theme. The posh professional has arrived!
