We are back!

Chicfinds is back and we would like to begin to reengage you with our weekly or daily chic finds. Here is a couple of our current obsessions.

First on the list is Sezane. The brand is French and only sold online. From watching the product mix from season to season I recommend going for their knits which sell out in minutes and are gorgeous with a real point of different. The knits are amazing with v neck backs, sexy collars, knot ties and cardigans that dress up or dress down, wear at the front, wear to the back. I love also their boots and denim. My favourites are the Eduardo knit with the lace neckline. My second favourite is the Gaspard which has beautiful mother of pearl buttons on the back. Third favourite is the Marcel which comes in block colours and also a stripe. Love Love Love!

 2nd obsession is stocking up on white t-shirts for every occasion. I have decided to pare back on tops and really have a staple wardrobe with great t-shirts. I think this has to be the hardest find. The top ones are amazing but for some they can be xxxy like Rag & Bone, Acne, Alexander Wang and James Pearce. The lower end ones just don’t cut it, H&M, Zara and others don’t get the crew neck right, nor the fabric, nor the fall. The in between is the 1960’s inspired jersey slim t-shirt from  https://shopredone.com/products/vintage-white-slim-tee which is called RE/DONE. It is around $78. See link for details; https://shopredone.com/products/vintage-white-slim-tee. Then for a more relaxed look I would go for the slim vintage neck t.shirt from Bassike, see link; https://www.bassike.com/women/organic-jersey/t-shirts/slim-vintage-neck-t-shirt-ss16wjt96-wht. They are quite long but a little bit tucked or left out suits this T. Another option is Velvet who have very nice long sleeve options. My choice would be Jemma crew neck; https://velvet-tees.com/women/velvet-tees-and-tops/tees/jemma-gauzy-whisper-crew-neck-tee-975433-1.html

As my core staple the t-shirt will go back with a maxi skirt, a great skinny jean with a blazer, with a mini and a cardigan and high heel for evening and a baggy black masculine fit pant. The best one to observe for the t-shirt outfit is Alexa Chung. Next post will give you ideas on shirting and some fabulous beauty finds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chicfinds loves leather

A few Chicfinds for in between seasons. Still loving leather even for Spring and why not also for summer. We found some fantastic leather pants with that baggy feel called Smith Made from Mr & Mrs Smith, Manly; http://shopmrandmrssmith.blogspot.com.au/ paired up with a white t-shirt and some Alexander Wang heels this is a great look for the change of seasons. We also love the Bassike range of leather available at Island Luxe Tribe in Byron Bay. I would summarize spring and summer and use the three SSS’s Spring/Summer this season is simple and sexy. For pieces to put with your leather or denim have a look at the beautiful collections of Alexander Wang ,Helmut Lang, Rick Owens and Acne. You can see a fantastic selection at Elyse Walker’s online store; http://www.forwardbyelysewalker.com.
