Chic Picks of the Week

The Chic Picks of the Week are pieces which transcend seasons, cultures and trends. While these pieces are often exclusive and expensive, they have influenced the work of designers at all price ranges. Having an Unforgettably Chic style has nothing to do with the price tag.

Iconic and classic, these picks have inspired fashionistas worldwide.

The Hermes Birkin

The ultra exclusive, bag of all bags. When it comes to the best, Hermes has mastered it with the Birkin. Available in an endless array of colors, skins and sizes, the Birkin is not for the faint of heart starting at around $7,000. With a waiting list miles long at times, if you can nab this bag, a toast is in order . Classic in both shape and style, the Birkin screams Chic without being too flashy. My favorite bag of all time!

The Sheath Dress

The sheath dress is one of the most iconic pieces to date. Jackie O made them incredibly fashionable during her days as first lady. The above dress is from the Roland Mouret Spring 2009 runway show. Mouret's designs are infamously sexy, sleek and classic. Both he and Michael Kors have mastered the art of designing this dress every season. Whether silk or wool, black or purple, cap sleeve or one shoulder, this style of dress is exceptional for every body type. A great option for work, a wedding, cocktail hour, Sunday brunch or a night out with the girls, it works. Sexy because of the fitted structure but never sleezy, the sheath dress is a must have and definitely an investment piece if you were ever looking for one.
