On Thursday, April 3, 2014 I hosted a shopping party at the C Wonder store at Santana Row. C Wonder provided lemonade and treats as well as a festive atmosphere which helped make the party a success. It was so much fun being able to meet readers and bloggers I have met virtually on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I feel like I have so many new friends!!

The C Wonder store was stocked with fabulous clothing and accessories for the spring season. There were sale items which were 40%-50% off and all of the full-price merchandise in the store was 20% off for the party! Loved that! Everyone made amazing purchases with the discounts including spring sweaters, home decor, jewelry, tech gear and more!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the party and I look forward to seeing you again! Thank you to everyone who supported the event virtually through social media. Without you, there would not be a Bay Area Fashionista blogzine! Thank you!!!

If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, make sure you stop into the Santana Row C Wonder store. They have a large selection of gift items which would be perfect for Mother’s Day! If you do not live in the Bay Area, please check out their website for great spring merchandise and an array of gift items! C Wonder can be found at cwonder.com.

The shirt for spring 2014

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged casual style / shirts / spring 2014 / summer 2014 by

One of the hottest trends for spring 2014 is the crisp, classic shirt. This menswear inspired piece has always been a mainstay in almost every women’s closet. But, for spring 2014, this timeless top has taken on a new life and become one of the hottest “must-haves” of the season.

The shirt for spring 2014 offers crisp styling, a starched collar and a slightly body-conscious silhouette. No boxy shirt allowed! The slightly body-conscious silhouette of spring 2014 allows the shirt to look feminine without being overly sexy. This means the shirt can easily be worn to the office during the day or unbuttoned a little bit for an evening occasion. Day into evening, love!

Shirts for spring 2014 are being shown with almost every bottom you can imagine. The shirt can be worn with trousers, midi-skirts, pencil skirts, denim and even shorts. Any shoe will do! The sleeves can be rolled up for casual looks, or to cool off on hot days; which adds versatility to this timeless style.

There are so many styles of shirts for spring 2014, it would be impossible for me to list them all! If you are looking to add a classic shirt to your wardrobe this spring season, look for solid colors in pastels or brights, chambray for casual days, or neutrals such as black or beige for versatility. You can also find prints on the market to spice up a solid bottom or jeans!

I found a few fabulous shirts around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
