While working and learning at The Southern Coterie Summit in Charleston, we belles needed a perk up to keep up. Thankfully, there is no shortage of shopping in this beautiful city!

We both found plenty of perk-worthy purchases to be had at one of our all-time favorite boutiques, Hampden Clothing.

One of our first purchases was a crisp off-the-shoulder blouse by Tibi. The best part about this shirt is the flattering length and the fact that you can easily where a bra with it. Bonus!

  
Via Hampden Clothing 

Of course, we needed bottoms to go with this blouse…and lo and behold, of course Hampden Clothing was happy to provide in the form of this Theory Pant.

The perfect amount of stretch, a pull-on skinny that holds you in without cutting off your circulation. Let’s be honest, no one wants to feel like they’re in a sausage casing!!

The finish is classic and it holds its shape. A must-have addition to your wardrobe!
Now, obviously…a belle’s outfit is never complete without an accessory or ten…just sayin. 

With tassels trending so tremendously, we had, had, had to have these fabulous earrings.  

  

Via Hampden Clothing 

Dreamy, colorful yet a neutral, lightweight…these are the perfect addition to make your outfit “next level” !! 

Put it all together…


…and you have a happy belle!!

And of course, why do when you can overdo??  We just had to have this dress…

  
Via Hampden Clothing 

Flattering, easy, and not only can it be worn as a tunic or a dress but it can be worn with the buttons in the front or back.  Double bonus!!!  

All perked up now…try it, belles!!

Espadrilles = summer thrills…foot candy for belles

08 Thursday May 2014

Posted by theRAREbelle in fashion forward, what's ringin' our belle

espadrilles, footwear, j.crew, nordstrom, saks, shopbop, shopping, soludos, trends

We love shoes…all shoes…can’t have too many…and we are thrilled to pieces about this season’s espadrille trend! They come in all shapes and price points, and color and pattern choices are vast. While we love the flat version for the comfy casual chic factor, we swoon for the dressier versions because they appeal to our passion for contrast and a touch of whimsy.

Here’s a sampling …which one catches your eyes??

These animal print ‘drilles are a neutral (animal print is our favorite neutral!). They go with just about everything.

These can be found at Shopbop. They are by Steven . ‘Nuff said.

20140505-085859.jpg
We actually own a pair of these darlings…love the lace-up factor…and you can get them at Soludos.

We love a feminine touch…belles are girls after all…and lace is another trend that we can fully embrace! Why not sport these with your boyfriend jeans? A touch of tomboy and a dash of girly-girl adds up to the perfect summer look.

20140505-091210.jpg

These Tory Burch are available at Shopbop but they are running out of sizes so you better get crackin’ !

And of course to take it up another notch we have a dreamy pair…but be forewarned they might break the piggy bank…but worth it…maybe…just sayin’….

20140505-092002.jpg

Scrumptious . By Valentino at Nordstrom .

Sometimes an LBE (lil’ black espadrille) is what we are pining for and these are just what the doctor ordered.

20140505-092414.jpg

From Topshop and available at Nordstrom . Love the leather, canvas and raffia textures!!

And where would we be without J.Crew? We belles often get a hankering for a J. Crew fix and these absolutely satisfied the craving.

20140505-093034.jpg
Wear them with pants, jeans, shorts, skirts, sundresses. Can’t. Not. Wear. So there. Get them here J. Crew.

Belles love adornment…aka em”belle”ishments … And these fit the bill….and our feet!

20140505-095944.jpg

From Kate Spade and you can get yourself a pair at Saks.

And lest you think we’d forget…you can always just put a bow on it! These will bowl you over….tee hee…

20140505-100607.jpg
These beauties are from Gucci and you can get them at Nordstrom .

So there you have it…a selection that is beyond….
