Chel Bella: Where The Accessories Are!

 

   

After some fabulously fresh merchandizing (Brava Chelsea!), our mantel is primed with outstanding picks to make our best Summer styles even better! xox
 

Fresh Spring and Summer Frocks by Yumi Kim!

    Designer Kim Phan set out to create a line that was both vintage and current.  Featured in Vogue, InStyle Lucky, Cosmo and beyond and donned by the heiress herself Paris, this young designer has been a continuing and growing success in the world of contemporary fashion design.  These edgy urban yet femininely soft and flirty pieces are sure to be wardrobe standouts!  As seen above, the one-shoulder dress is HUGE this year, so jump on this sexy sophisticated (and very flattering!) trend.  The print of the dress on the right, the "Sheila Sailor,"  is classic with its navy, sky blue and white stripes and is stroked with vibrant dashes of purples, greens and reds.  The fabulous fabric is only made more incredible by the construction of the dress: defined waistline (aka slimming!), pockets, and a shoulder strap accented with ruffle and rosettes that act as a built in accessory.  The "Lolita" dress is also an amazing piece.  The pattern is again so fun and vibrant, a decidedly far East influenced print meeting with this everywhere trendy shape.  We also received an adorable floral dress that would be perfect for a weekday shopping excursion or a Friday night on the town.   She who hesitates is lost! So come try on asap! Ciao Bellas! xox  

  

More Spring Introductions! Hello Ali Ro!

    Ali Ro Jackets have just arrived! Launched just three years ago, this company has made a fantastic name for itself with fresh and contemporary spins on classic bodies. The jacket, which we received in both black and khaki, is a sophisticated staple piece for any wardrobe (soon to be a cornerstone in my closet!).  Be prepared for any weather in this lightweight jacket with it's airy silhouette and hood that can be rolled into the zip collar.  We love the gold hardware on this new arrival, from the exposed zippers on the pockets to the fun and practical snaps that shine all the way up the pronounced collar.  As I've said before, looking chic doesn't have to be just a sometimes thing--throwing this anorak* on makes it an all the time thing. I tried in vain to find a picture for this post. However, I did pop into the window and put the jacket in khaki on our very well dressed center mannequin.  Therefore at least a drive-by of 66 South Street is necessary.  You will not regret the visual fashion feast I assure you :) Ciao Bellas! xox  

Casual Cashmere by Christopher Fischer!

  

   

   

 One of Chelsea's many amazing finds on her recent fashion expedition to NYC, Christopher Fischer cashmere has in one day already become a beloved brand for Chel Bella fashionistas!  The heavenly cashmere, a fabric near and dear to every woman's heart, drapes stunningly over the body, as depicted on the left.  The cardigan, which we received in both the spring spearmint and a white and soft cobalt stripe, is the perfect length, one that flatters both the tall and the small.  The cardigan is hooded making it an extra cozy option for those cool Spring and Summer evening wherever you may be.  Come by and treat yourself (Mother's Day is technically an all weekend celebration!).  Ciao Bellas! xox

New Shoshanna!

A great spring dress has just arrived! Whether you're heading to the prom, a wedding or just a cocktail party, this dress will have you arrive in style! The combination of the folded and rusched bodice along with the sweetheart neckline makes this piece extremely figure flattering.  The material is silky and airy and patterned to perfection in beautiful begonia and fresh white!  Another little feature we love is the dress has pockets! So never mind searching for the perfect metallic clutch (although I do consider that a "must have" summer item, along with white jeans!), just toss your cell and lipstick right in the adorable side pockets and get ready for a wonderful time- and many outfit compliments! Ciao Bellas! xox 

Introducing New JoJo and Ms. Alexis Orr!

Our new spokes-model, Alexis Orr, is showing off some of our latest arrivals from JoJo! We love how she's paired her feminine puff-sleeved shirt and pink bow hair accessory with a signature gold, pearl and crystal JoJo chain.  As seen, these pieces are good enough to eat! (Although we don't recommend it!). Ciao Bellas! xox

A Love Affair: Calypso meets Chel Bella

   We've been waiting with bated breath (and crossed fingers!) but the wait is over.  A wonderful addition to our Spring floor, Calypso has arrived in all of it's 100% silk and detailed embroidery glory.  My mom, who doesn't know I'm using this picture for the style blog (hehe!) is showing that age is just a number in this gorgeous scallop-detailed dusty peach sundress.  Other pieces include a fresh white eyelet tunic dress, a navy embroidered top (perfect to pair with white jeans!), and a few other spectacular dresses! Fall in love with fashion, with Calypso, one gorgeous piece of silk at a time! Ciao Bellas! xox

Fresh Accessories! Shashi Bracelets and More!

    Ok so if you look verrrrrrrrrry closely you can catch a glimpse of our brand new Shashi bracelets on celebs such as Lindsay Lohan and Katey Perry! You may also note that Lindsay Lohan is shockingly holding a bottle of water.  Anyway!  The bracelets are essentially strands of leather woven with little gold or silver nuggets, while others are studded with rhinestones.  We have various colors of leather including sunny yellow, kelly green, rose pink, classic black, natural tan and many more!  They look great solo or stack a few-- starting at just eighteen dollars, so they won't break the bank : ) !  Although the celeb following may not consist of the best moral role models, they sure model fantastic fashion!  Ciao Bellas! xox
