Daily Dilemma: 51 and Sunny

We all know that March is a bit of a teaser. It’s not quite Spring and Winter isn’t over (unless of course, you're on the West Coast). So, the big dilemma starts with what to wear. Before you step into your closet, ask yourself these 3 questions:

1.How Can I Work the Layered Look?

With that chilly breeze still in the air, the layered look will keep you warm, comfortable and still stylish. Throw on your favorite shirt, add a vest, and a chunky sweater. All 3 items you probably have in your closet and can take them on and off all day long. We're a big fan of these Dorothy Lee pieces that create a great layered look.




2. Do I have A Dominant Piece?


Have a favorite pair of boots you're dying to wear or a great new accessory? Start with that one dominant piece and work backwards, making sure you don’t detract from your key piece.



We like this look from Bensoni. The simple Madelleine T-shirt for $26 makes a wonderful canvas for a great extra long necklace. Check it out at: http://www.thesavvy.com/shop_Bensoni.php?c=web1.134&product=BE2-S108-20VSJ

3. What’s My Mood?

Whether you're wishing that winter would end or just over the cold, I’m a firm believer that when you need a pick me up, you must put on a dressier outfit. Don't forget to pair it with heels because this great look will create “oohs and ahhs” from all over!



Another Bensoni favorite is this t-shirt dress. It's a bit dressy and a tad casual and perfect for $51. http://www.thesavvy.com/shop_Bensoni.php?c=web1.134&product=BE2-S108-03SSC

We're So Excited About Bensoni!

Our second Bensoni online Sample Sale starts today at 1pm. We know that you're going to love the collection because it's not just gorgeous, but every item is versatile and practical for Spring. We've taken a close look at the inventory, making sure we're bringing you Bensoni's best pieces. You'll be amazed with the prices because absolutely every item is 90% off.

For those of you unfamiliar with Bensoni, the collection is designed by Sonia Yoon and Benjamin Channing Clyburn. Their aesthetic combines a youthful street feel with an American flair to create a cosmopolitan look. These Parsons The New School for Design grads truly know how to pair together fabrics, silhouettes, and add in pretty amazing details to every piece. Plus, with everything being made in the United States, it couldn't get any better!

We recommend the "little black" Jessica Shift Dress as your staple piece. With a sheer neckline and a fan of sexy pleats at the bust, it's the feminine touch you need for any occasion. This goes perfect with the Oliva Cropped Jacket. With a great eggshell color in a lightweight fabric, it's perfect for Spring!



The Betty Flapper dress is such a great piece because it's sophisticated, has personality and can be dolled up with and colorful Colette Malouf headband and Mary Janes. We also love the Marilyn Shell Top that goes perfect with a blazer to the office or can be worn alone for a night look. Plus, with this print, you'll make a fun statement!



The sale starts at 1pm today at www.thesavvy.com and goes through this Saturday at midnight!

Our Lisa K Design Online Sample Sale Pics!

On the second day of our Lisa K Design online sample sale, we wanted to give you our favorite pics and some pairing options!

We love the Dense Turquoise Necklace because it's the perfect statement piece! Pair it with a solid blouse or top so it won't detract from the necklace and you'll be turning heads. At $125, this is a great deal and it's no wonder why this is one her best sellers.

For a soft flirty look, pair it with a fun Spring dress, and for a night look, definitely mix it with black!




The Baby Circle Gold necklace ($145) has so much personality and character with beautiful amber colored stones. Put this with a solid lightweight button down top for Spring to create a playful and refreshing look.
