Stella Carakasi Review and Giveaway

We're delighted to introduce ya'll to Stella Carakasi, a boutique collection of reasonably-priced designer women's fashions. European influences, fluid feminine touches and unique twists on casual elegance can be seen throughout the Stella Carakasi Collection. 

The So Right Leather Combo Jacket is so right on trend for Spring. Buttery soft leather and textured cotton are combined to create a lighter weight cropped jacket that is ideal for Spring days and evenings. The neutral tone can be worn with just about every color in your wardrobe. A slightly asymmetrical zipper adds interest to the chic boxy jacket. I usually have to order a size larger in jackets. Not so with this one, it's a generous fit that doesn't skimp. I recommend ordering in your regular size as sizing up turned out to be a bit too large for me. That's okay, my goof will be someone else's gain. Who knows, it may be headed for our gift closet for a lucky reader to win! ☺ The So Right Jacket is available in sizes XS-XL, $298.00.

Superior fabrics and workmanship, standout designs without the designer price tag, surprise details, and a wide range of sizes make this boutique collection designer wear for real women.

Although the Rendezvous Top is from the Fall line, it caught my eye on the website. It's lightweight and since the weather is still so cold in many parts of the country, many of you will still get lots of wear out of it over the next few weeks. I love the combination of the print with the solid chocolate. The solid color sleeves are slimming and fluidity of the slightly draped front is very flattering. It's available in sizes XS-XL and on sale for $78 {was $128}. 

A long-sleeve black tee is a wardrobe essential. I didn't think I would be as impressed with the Sure Thing Tee as I am. It turned out to be my fave piece from the collection...for several reasons. First, it's silky soft, slimming, and feels great on. The lighter weight washable rayon-spandex blend packs well and doesn't wrinkle...at all! It's dressier than the average tee and you can have a new look any day of the week just by adding a different brightly-colored scarf. Also looks great with a long necklace, leggings, boots, and when Spring finally gets here, will be beautiful with strappy sandals. Available in six colors for $88.
