Spring Jackets and Blazers

Spring is here! This is a fantastic transition season to have fun with our wardrobes. We can mix our fall and summer layers to create looks that will be stylish and practical enough to keep us comfortable all day long from the warm sunny afternoon to a chilly night. What is one of the ultimate must haves for spring? Jackets and blazers! Revivals just received some beautiful jackets that make us want to put our black blazers back in the closet have some fun with prints and color!

Above we have a brand new with tags authentic Prada blazer. Prada describes this design as a denim tweed. It is actually a cotton linen woven blend with a denim inspired print and raw edges. This is the perfect jacket for your daytime event. Wear it with your favorite sunglasses and keep your look soft and light with a crisp white trouser. This Prada blazer retailed for $1670 at Neiman Marcus but you can get it for less than half the price here at Revivals!

Here is another gorgeous jacket by Christian Lacroix. This woven sheer knit is a mix of cotton, rayon, silk and lurex. This blazer is light and features many subtle details like the red in the contrast trim and a twisted tab around the back of the waist. The lining is sheer. Christian Lacroix is a go to for unique designs and beautiful construction! See more details here!

We can always count on Etro designs to provide our boutique with lots of color and print! Check out this whimsical, fantastic colorful Etro jacket. It is not lined and will last you into summer. You will find a lot of color choices to pair a beautiful skirt or pant with. You can purchase this here or stop by Revivals soon!

Staff Favorites: Liz's Pick

Revivals owner Robin says, "If you can't find a handbag in this store right now, you are not really looking for one." The spring season is in full swing here at Revivals and the boutique is full of goodies. There is something for everyone!

It did not take me long to find my favorite. This is the Lanvin Moon River tote from the Pre-SS13 collection. I am absolutely obsessed with cobalt blue accessories this season and I'm thinking this is the ultimate tote for spring. It features gorgeous croc embossed calfskin leather with a turquoise trim and subtle gold tone hardware details. I love the oceanic feel. Roomy and chic, this is the perfect luxury travel tote for the stylish jet setter!

You do not want to take away from these amazing blues by getting too matchy matchy when you are styling. Find colors to contrast and compliment the handbag. Use gold tone jewelry to make the subtle hardware details pop. But most importantly, you want to have fun with this look! This is not for the office, it is for everything else!

This handbag retailed for $2495 at Boyds but you can get it from Revivals! Check it out here or come see us!

Alexander Wang Glitter Drainpipe Pants

We are so excited about these amazing Alexander Wang pants! Silver metallic slim skinny pants! Not just for night, rock these with a blazer and shimmer all day in these. Lose the blazer at night and throw on some pumps to go out dancing with the girls! These are perfect if you are looking to stand out but keep a simple sleek silhouette. You will see in Alexander Wang runway photos these pants styled with oversized fur coats. Model, Erin Wasson styled hers with a neutral beige draped top. These are stylish pants for all seasons!

No more intense Google searches and online forums to find the fashion we love. Are you excited or are you going to miss the hunt? (Telegraph)
