Chic and Casual

A Chic Minimalist is enjoying a casual yet chic Sunday at Starbucks café whilst chatting up a storm with close friends and family.  The new blonde roast comes highly recommended, as does a pair of classic black leggings, when paired with a chic top and pearl stud earrings.  But of course, lazy Sunday afternoons call for a stylish take on casual attire, n'est pas?  Hope you are having a restful Sunday mes amies...

A chic ensemble brought to you from the ladies room at Starbucks.  Now that is much more scandalous than tucking a shirt into black leggings!

  

Details:  A lavender turtleneck by Canadian designer Joeffer Caoc paired with Jacob extra-long black leggings, and a pair of pink cultured pearl stud earrings.  Accessories include a Damier Ebene Louis Vuitton "Never Full" handbag, black Gucci sunglasses, and a random black leather wallet for my Blackberry curve phone.

A Chic Companion - Noir et Blanc

A classic combination of noir et blanc is a simple yet bold statement.  It is appealing from day to night  and evokes effortless chic.  A Chic Minimalist recommends investing in a sleek black pencil skirt or  trousers if you prefer, and a few simple but immaculately tailored white sweaters, blouses, and shirts to evoke the timeless appeal of noir et blanc. 

Take a style cue from A Chic Minimalist's day to day chic companion of noir et blanc....

Rendez-Vous ce Soir...

 A Chic Minimalist presents, a la Karlie Kloss in Vogue, a day in the life.  Follow every chic ensemble from the moment she awakes, runs to the office and prepares for a little rendez-vous...

Contemplating today's chic ensemble and dreaming of a rendez-vous with a certain admirer...

A moment of rest to enjoy the sunshine, chic ensemble details as follows. For professional chic and polish choose a black and white ensemble.  Pair a classic white shirt, opt for a body top style for a seamless line, when paired with a classic black pencil skirt. Finish with a classic pair of Ralph Lauren black pumps, and a Louis Vouitton Trianna hand-bag for a stylish take on professionalism.

After a long day, A Chic Minimalist returns home, taking a moment to rest and  think of tonight's rendez-vous.  A classic black and white ensemble, can also have an elegant but sexy appeal, outside of the office.  Pair a simple white boat neck cotton sweater, with a black bandage style mini for casual and comfortable appeal.

Finally, the hours have gone by fast, time moves so quickly on a busy day, even when you are thinking about that special someone.  The time has come and a secret rendez-vous is just moments away.   Pair a romantic pale pink strapless dress, with sexy black stilletoes, and a french twist to leave a lasting impression on that dear one!

Hope you will all have a special night tonight mes amies...

With My Best Wishes for a Jouyful Easter Holiday

A Chic Minimalist is spending this weekend at home to celebrate Easter with family and friends.  My hope is that you are all enjoying the holiday with all those you hold dear and love whether they are friends or family.  There is truly no greater gift than time spent with all those you love.  Although a pair of Christian Louboutins or something Chanel comes a close second.

Wishing you a jouyful and peaceful Easter Holiday!

With much affection,
