Knit Me Chic

April 16, 2012 in Fashion

With Winter on its way – I’ve been wearing scarves and slippers for the last week! – we thought it would be the perfect time to share a few of our favourite knit picks to add to your Winter wardrobe. From sweaters to dresses and (perhaps even more importantly) some cute knitted accessories, there is a little bit of knit love for every Chicette today!

I love this yellow ASOS sweater! The colour, the chunky knit – it’s amazing. If you live in warmer parts of Australia (Hi Darwin & North Queensland readers!) but still want to get into the Winter spirit, the Jeanswest light knit is perfect for you.

Vera Moda Chunky Cotton Knit from ASOS [Also available in 'Bluebird' which is cute too!]

Jeanswest ‘Tegan’ Stripe Knit from Westfield

I can’t seem to stay away from stripes! I love these three dresses because you can dress them up or dress them down. Wear them solo on Autumn-y days or layer them up with tights, a scarf and boots when it gets really chilly.

Lola Vs Harper Knit Dress from Freez

Joyce Rib Dress from Forever New

Oasis Knitted Dress from ASOS

I could have written an entire post on knitted hats, there are so many cute ones to choose from!

Naww Beanie from Dotti

Sun Stand In Hat from ModCloth

Metallic Knit Boyfriend Hat from ASOS

Picking just three scarves was so hard! I usually wear bright or patterned scarves but I also love a more neutral scarf to tone down a bright outfit.

Selina Stripe Knitted Scarf from Forever New

Waffle Knit Scarf in Ivory from Nasty Gal

Tinley Road Blanket Scarf from Piperline

Just in case you weren’t quite knitted kitted out yet, why not try out some knitwear on your hands, legs or iPhone!

Dolce & Gabbana Grey Leather gloves from Pret a Beaute

Cable Knit Tights in Charcoal from Dotti

So tell me, how do you like to wear your knits?

Stay Chic,

Top 5 Winter Textures

April 5, 2012 in Fashion

Winter fashion not only means getting to wear lots of layers, but also lots of textures as well.

Shop Me Chic’s Top 5 Winter Textures are:

  1. knit
  2. leather
  3. lace
  4. velvet
  5. faux fur

The beauty of these textures is that they can be worn solo or you can incorporate a few into the one outfit. Here are our picks of the bunch.

Knit

Knit is a classic winter texture. Who doesn’t love getting rugged up in a cosy knit? It is also incredibly versatile, can be dressed up or down and looks great as a tunic, jumper or cardi – as seen below.

Bardot Salt & Pepper Cardi – $129.95

French Connection Lady Owl Long Knit - $99.95 (currently on sale)

Sussan Block Stripe Tunic – $89.95

Leather

Leather is an investment worth making. Leather never goes out of style and can be worn with just about anything. And the more worn in your leather is, the better it gets. How many investments can you say that about?!

ASOS Collarless Leather Biker Jacket – $194.64

Wish ‘Mania’ Leather Shorts from Alibi Online – $149.95

Portmans Leather Swing Skirt – $149.95

Lace

Lace is the ultimate ladylike texture. It says sophistication and style. Lace can also be exciting when mixed with a tough texture like leather. But why limit yourself to clothing when it looks just as fab in accessories…

Karen Millen Lace Clutch – $89.00

ASOS Lace Dress – $72.99

Forever New ‘Charlotte’ Heels – $99.99

Velvet

Velvet has made a major comeback for Winter and for good reason – it looks so luxe and has a bit of a hippy chic vibe to it. Navy seems to be the colour du jour for velvet this season, as seen in the picks below.

PeepToe ‘Miss Munroe’ Velvet Heel - $199.00

Boys Club Velvet Blazer from Glue Store – $229.99

PeepToe ‘Lady Velvet’ Clutch – $129.00

Faux Fur

No need to get the flour out (right Kim K?!)…this type of fur is animal friendly!! Faux fur is super cosy and super chic and adds an interesting texture to even the simplest outfit.

Bardot ‘Bowie’ Faux Fur Jacket – $50.00

Forcast Pearl Faux Fur Beret from The Iconic – $25.00

Ally Fashion Faux Fur Gillet - $39.99
