Fall Trend: Over Sized Cardigans

Last week Closet Candy paired flirty Fall dresses with some comfortably stylish cardigans. This week’s Fall trend is the over sized cardigan. Gorgeous cashmere, cable knit and cotton cardigans should be a mandatory store purchase at Closet Candy. If you haven’t checked out their latest offerings you should and immediately!

Charlotte Ronson super soft wool “grandpa cardigan” shown with Taka Cameron top. So Comfy!

Mike & Chris cotton long “Joey” bubble cardigan with snap buttons in black ash. Worn over Karen Zambos cloud red slip dress. This cardigan is a great cover up for any weather!

Generra cable knit over sized short sleeve cardigan (my favorite!) over James Coviello color block silk slip dress. This cardigan is both stylish and cozy.

Generra lightweight tie neck cardigan. Shown over Berry Halter chiffon/silk top by Development.

C&C California cashmere V cardigan in maroon. Shown here over a cotton Gingerella Ruffle top. Great for work! Accessorized by Sogoli’s ribbon and stone bracelet.

C&C California cashmere V cardigan in ivory. This is a more casual/funky look with Generra grey trapeze top and Made Her Think Glam Rock necklace.

Twig Cashmere. A great new cashmere line, this is a cashmere crew neck cardigan in heather grey. Although it had just hit Closet Candy, this is the best selling cardigan (also available in beige). Shown here over C&C pandora tank in faded black for a casual look. Accessorized with Made Her Think bracelets.

Charotte Ronson short sleeve cabelknit cardigan in olive/brown. Worn over Development Horse print blouse. I love short sleeve cardigans because you can get to show off the beautiful silks and chiffons this season.

When it comes to coats and jackets, what is your style? Do you go after the funky modern look with interesting silhouettes or do you prefer classic shapes that will last years? Winters in Kuwait are brief yet harsh. I have two classic coats that have been in my closet for years. One is leather and the other is a wool blend. I try to buy one trendy coat in the winter, but it usually turns out to be a parka and I give it to the needy when it goes out of style.

MyBeautyBar.net Review: Bella Luce

Thanks to MyBeautyBar.net we’re having a great time testing out fantastic beauty products. It’s lovely having the spa treatment at home!

Wildberry Body Polish: made of strawberries with red raspberry oil and pure cane sugar. It also contains fruit acids and essential vitamins that remove off your dead skin cells. What I like about this scrub is that as you are scrubbing it converts into lotion and rinses off easily. For best results, use the scrub two to three times a week. It leaves the skin extra smooth and silky.

Moisturizing Body Wash - Thai Coconut Lemongrass: This body wash is sulfate free and it contains exotic fruit extracts with pure mango butter. It leaves the skin very smooth and supple. It has a clean scent.

Silk and Honey Lotion - Thai Coconut Lemongrass: Made of real honey, pure silk, exotic butters, nourishing organic oils, and selected fruit extracts. The lotion is absorbed quickly which leaves the skin soft and smooth for a long time.

I like using the Bella Luce products together. I think that they work well together and one product compliments the other. Bella Luce is my favorite because their products smell amazing and they left my skin feeling soft and silky for a longer period than ordinary products. I would definitely purchase these products on a regular basis!
