Preppy CHIC

Susana Monaco Scoop Pocket Dress, BB Dakota Leona Coat and Shae Pullover with Pocket

Maybe it’s Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf’s excessive use of CHIC headbands and sophisticatedly clean, affluent style or just our love of all things fashion, but we recently found looks at Urban Chic Georgetown (202.338.5398) that scream cool prepster and we are simply giddy over this trend!  Timeless in navy, the Susana Monaco Scoop Pocket Dress ($175.00) fits like a charm, and we adore the front pockets and gathered front, which attractively highlights the wide neckline.  Paired with chocolate brown tights, suede boots and chunky gold accessories, you’ll look like the picture perfect schoolgirl!  As it grows chillier, style this delightful dress with the BB Dakota Leona Coat ($125.00).  Featuring a clean shirred collar, a crisp plaid pattern and refined gold embellishments, this coat scores an A+ on nailing the preppy trend and will keep you warm and cozy all Winter long!  To create a more casual yet classic look, we excitedly discovered the Shae Pullover with Pocket ($115.00)!  Slim and soft, this tightly knit sweater is perfect to style over CHICly colored button downs, work dresses and of course, would look quite fabulous with a mini and riding boots.  If these looks haven’t tempted you to step over to the preppy side, the prices of these CHIC designs certainly will – All of the above pieces are under $200!

Sweet ‘N’ Sassy in Pink

Wendy Katlen Swirl Dress and Juicy Couture Nook and Cranny Draped Front Cardigan

Pink Is The New Black

Pink is the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and of course, whether it’s hot and sassy or sweet and innocent, it’s also the ultimate CHIC girl hue!  Influenced by this reputable cause, we found ourselves eagerly scrutinizing the racks of Urban Chic Annapolis (410-571-2777) for feminine and flirty pink pieces and we weren’t disappointed with our finds.  Designed in a deliciously brilliant, candy pink shade, the Wendy Katlen Swirl Dress ($204.00) looks yummier than a Georgetown cupcake!  The sweetheart neckline, slimming empire waist and full, fun skirt creates an hour glass silhouette that will flatter a variety of figures and even make Heidi Klum a little envious.  We’re also infatuated with the swirl embellishment that adorns the chest and adds the perfect amount of cheekiness to this girly frock.  Style this pretty piece with a chunky, beautifully bold necklace and seductive stilettos or an edgy leather jacket and booties, and you’ll look rather fabulous for a night out with your favorite girls.  If you’re more of a casual CHIC girl, check out the Juicy Couture Nook and Cranny Draped Front Cardigan ($178.00).  Belted over tights and a mini or layered with a dashing blouse and skinny jeans, this cardigan will become a coveted staple in your wardrobe.  The dazzling pink hue will add a splash of color to your winter blacks and browns, and we were inspired to pair it with the Matty M Antique Cami ($97.00) and Joe’s Jeans Ex-Lover Denim ($178.00) to create an effortlessly boho-CHIC look.  If these refreshingly pink designs aren’t enough to get you motivated to support raising awareness about breast cancer, we hope that Urban CHIC’s annual “Pink Is The New Black” event will encourage you to aid this reputable cause.  This Thursday, October 29^th, Urban CHIC and Sassanova will host an evening dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer, and we hope to see all of you CHIC ladies there!
