Mom's Wish List: Classic Pearls

Today, we’re all about the mom who’s mastered a classic, sophisticated style. This is the mom whose home is decorated with beautiful framed photos & elegant storage boxes. She knows how to look put-together at a moment’s notice & has closets filled with a collection of timeless pieces.

This mom loves adding to her photo collection and is always on the hunt for beautiful frames to accent her chic home. Pretty in pearls & always classy, her sophisticated style is complemented perfectly with a slim, delicate watch & a pair of simple studs.

Mom's Wish List: Pretty in Pastels

Today, we’re highlighting the playful mom. The mom who would never leave the house without lipstick and a pair of earrings, who wiped all the goop off our faces with her ever present handkerchief & who stuns in florals, lace & cardigans.

When it comes to the feminine mom, nothing says “I’m fabulous” like a floral scarf coupled with her playful nature. We love that she mixes her floral patterns (a scarf here, a sundress there) with bright colors and beautiful baubles. Her closet is like a veritable treasure trove of only the most expressive shades. Her best accessory? Her smile and laughter, which surprise & delight us with each story or joke!

Get the trend: Pointy toe pumps and jeans

Of the huge trends that we are loving this spring (including flirty florals and pretty pastels) the one that needs to find its way into your warm-weather wardrobe right now is pairing pointy toe pumps with jeans. The reason: wearing a pair of killer heels with denim is the perfect way to dress up an otherwise casual look. It's chic in an unexpected way and has become a street style staple for the fashion elite.

Fashion blogger Christine, of fash-n-chips.com, is sharing with us why she has welcomed this unexpected duo into her wardrobe with open arms. Want to try this look yourself? Check out our Street Chic: Denim & Pointy Toe Pumps sale now!

Hello everyone. My name is Christine, and I'm from the Netherlands, work as a stylist and I have my own personal style blog called Fash n Chips. I post daily about my own outfits, wish lists and other interests.

My style could probably be best described as quite classic, simple and sometimes a little tomboyish. For example, I wear a lot of boyfriend jeans and sneakers. Comfort is very important to me, and so I’ll admit that when I'm home by myself I'm usually dressed in sweatpants and a big hoodie. However, my favorite way to make a look more feminine is to add a pair of pointy pumps… it's crazy how a simple pair of shoes can instantly make me feel and look more dressed up!

That's why pointy pumps paired with denim has been one of my favorite go-to looks over the past few years. It's chic, but has just the right amount of casualness for me because of the denim. I usually add a blazer or coat, or if I need it to look more relaxed, a sweatshirt. My absolute favorite pair of pointy pumps is a black suede pair I got from Zara a few seasons ago, and I'm currently on the hunt for a good pair of white pointy pumps as I think they are just perfect for spring and summer.
