Distinctive Chanel Daywear

Looking for a new blouse? A jacket, perhaps? Or is it a day dress that call out to you? Pick your poison with the following new arrivals from Chanel!

Personally, we think every woman could use a day dress like the one pictured below. It's navy and white linen, with yummy little details like an open back, pleated waist, generous front pockets, and signature gold earrings. Fits a size 4 to 6. Those of you seeking separates can revel in the same kind of luxurious detailing: take, for instance, this sexy silk blouse with black velvet collar and gold buttons, or a rust loose-knit jacket with lion's head buttons... you get the picture.

The Lighter Side of Mugler

Decades is still the only stop in town for iconic and unusual creations by 1980s designer Thierry Mugler. Below, a great little one-shoulder creation that we found in Paris is the ultimate summer party dress! (If the design looks familiar, it's because listed the same dress in a psychadelic paint splash patter a few weeks ago--click here to see it again!) It's never been worn and fits a contemporary size 2. For those of you seeking something a bit more formal, the dazzling chiffon collar gown listed below features a great color (ice lilac?) and very cool silver hardware at the neck. Though it appears generous, this dress has a fitted slip and fits a contemporary size 4.

Leave it to Yves Saint Laurent to make the perfect bling-a-ling earrings. Two falling circles connected by a ovular clasp make for a perfect set of earring for a night out at the disco or to dress up something basic and black. These crystal diamond earrings are the antithesis of basic...they are basically perfect, however!

Calling all Curves! We love a good Norma Kamali ruched dress. It brings out a women's curves and her dresses are so light and perfect for travel and wrinkle-free. Seriously, you can wrap this up in a ball and throw it in the bottom of your roller bag, take an over-night flight to Nice, pop onto a helicopter to Monte Carlo, and squeeze your booty into this sexy number.
