As I alluded to <a href="http://peekofchic.blogspot.com/2013/10/and-baby-makes-3.html" target="_blank">here</a>, I have decided to step away from fashion blogging and concentrate on getting ready for our little girl. If you would like to follow my personal blog about all things baby (which will no doubt include fashionable baby wear!), please send me an email at apeekofchic [at] gmail [dot] com. Thank you to all my loyal readers over the past few years! I've truly enjoyed having my space here on the internet...and who knows, maybe one day I will be back.

While I was finally able to find a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bwx2rnjde" target="_blank">chambray shirt</a> (as mentioned <a href="http://peekofchic.blogspot.com/2012/10/ootd-chambray-jewels.html" target="_blank">here</a>), dress shirts for work have been off limits. When I heard about <a href="http://www.shopinstyleessentials.com/shop.html" target="_blank">InStyle Essentials</a>, I was intrigued, to say the least. These shirts are sized by bra size (32A-40H), so no matter how large your chest is, you won't have to worry about the gap between the buttons. After receiving mine this week, I am pleased to say, it fits perfectly!! Currently there are 3 styles available in white. I am anxiously awaiting more colors/patterns, as this will now be a staple in my closet!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Now that Spring 2014
fashion week is over, it’s the time to dissect the trends that appeared on the
runways in New York, Paris, Milan, and London. Each city saw a new and
different interpretation of the trends of the seasons. That being said, not
every trend on the runway is going to make it to the stores come next spring.
Cheryl Denise was kind enough to allow me to cover some of the key trends I saw
on the runways for her website. These are the trends I think have legs, and
you’ll be seeing pop up in stores in 2014.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

caught my eye when the iconic Tom Ford put a decidedly casual (well, for him)
laser cut leather tank top on his runway. Next, Gucci showed billowy metallic
materials and a slouchy fit intended to drape across the body creating a luxe
and casual look. The idea of luxury sportswear again appeared at Emilio Pucci,
however with a decidedly 90’s turn via bejeweled tracksuits and leather crop
tops. In Paris Anthony Vaccarello wanted to reflect the idea of swimwear in the
city. The end product was triangle shaped hemlines and cutouts past the hip as
a daring and sexy option for the real life gym rats.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">This season also saw
designers embrace the growing world of DIY and crafting. The most literal
interpretation appeared at Chanel where Karl Lagerfeld staged an art school
themed runway show and dressed his models as (very, very wealthy) art students.
Celine’s Phoebe Philo created bold tribal prints with large brushstroke
patterns on many of the pieces she showed, turning each piece into a canvas.
The pieced together and scrambled look of scrapbooks also appeared on the
runways of Christopher Kane and Christian Dior. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

off New York Fashion Week with a collection that looked to the refined look of
schoolgirl staples like oxfords, argyle sweaters, and pinafores. Next, in
Milan, Prada sent out an army of schoolgirls in shift dresses and top coats
that recalled the staples of a 50’s co-ed, but with thoroughly modern
embellishments. Viktor & Rolf created a surrealist schoolgirl look in Paris
with asymmetrical blazers, voluminous pleated skirts, and sweaters which were
pierced with spikes.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>

have been in style for a few seasons now, this season it was all about the
rounded shoulder, in an attempt to soften the normally harsh look. After
appearing in New York and Milan (most notably at the No. 21 show), the
silhouette hit its<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> stride in Paris. The tastemakers at
Balmain, Balenciaga, and Giambattista Valli all showed that this is going to be

Their process is easy - you choose the metal and stones (including color, clarity and cut) and they set them. They even offer free overnight shipping and insurance. Hopefully these beauties will be mine one day...perhaps a push present, hint hint!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j42Uvp38xh8/UmBzScvUv_I/AAAAAAAAFKU/ZCdqSK4n34A/s1600/MW_st991_w_mnnn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j42Uvp38xh8/UmBzScvUv_I/AAAAAAAAFKU/ZCdqSK4n34A/s320/MW_st991_w_mnnn.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I also have my eye on a tennis bracelet, which is significantly
more affordable. The process is the same, where you are able to choose the total
carat weight, as well as the color, clarity and cut. You also choose the style:
classic, swirl or boxed link. For this piece, I like the classic look that I can
wear forever (and hopefully pass down if I have a daughter one day).<span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Are
gem stones more your style? Anjolee has an extensive collection of these as
well. Or you can mix and match these with diamonds. They also offer bracelets,
necklaces and pendants. The options are
truly endless!</span></div>

<br />
We are beyond excited and are counting the days til we meet he or she next March!! I've always had a pet peeve of fashion bloggers turned mommy bloggers, so rest assured that will not be happening here. I do have another blog, where I will document my pregnancy, maneuvering through the world of maternity fashion and all things baby. If you'd like to follow along, please send me an email and I will add you, as it is private.<br />
<br />
That being said, a peek of chic will begin to slow down, and in all honesty, may discontinue altogether. I'm taking everything day by day, and appreciate your support during this transition. cheryl denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01626889895310314915noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824145902386984622.post-28632563576903787902013-10-10T08:00:00.000-04:002013-10-10T08:00:35.862-04:00Weekend Bucket List<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tomorrow we're heading up to NYC bright and early, for a long weekend with friends. It will be a nice getaway, especially to get our minds off the government shutdown, which is affecting both hubby and I. As most of you know, NYC is my favorite city, so I've got a jam packed itinerary for the weekend...here are a few things we'll be doing. Follow my adventures on Instagram <a href="http://instagram.com/apeekofchic#" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
While my typical weekends in the city consist of shopping and checking out restos/bars, this trip I've added some more touristy stuff. We got so used to walking up towers in Italy to view the city from above, that I wanted to hit <a href="http://www.topoftherocknyc.com/" target="_blank">Top of the Rock</a>.<br />

We're also planning to grab lunch at <a href="http://www.chelseamarket.com/" target="_blank">Chelsea Market</a> and eat up on the <a href="http://www.thehighline.org/" target="_blank">High Line</a>. While we're up there, we will be celebrating the 30th birthday of our friend, so I figured there is no better way than to get drinks at Boom Boom Room. It is by far the chicest bar I've been to in my life! Floor to ceiling views of the Hudson river on one side, and city on the other. Absolutely breathtaking!!! The people watching is insane - I swear I haven't seen that much Chanel, except in their store.<br />

My bucket list has always included walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, so weather permitting, we'll be taking the <a href="http://www.eastriverferry.com/" target="_blank">ferry</a> over to Brooklyn, taking in the gorgeous skyline from the park, and walking back to Manhattan via the bridge. <br />

Since I'm such a foodie, here's the rundown of where we'll be eating while we're in the city. Some will be new for me, and some are faves that I can't imagine not visiting while there! I wish there were more time to fit in meals, because there are so many places I would love to go. Is it too soon to plan my next trip?!<br />

It's understandable that the animals could get confused, I just can't get over the fact that animal prints are such a staple in fashion now, that such a rule has to be implemented. <br />

Not only is she a legendary wedding gown designer (that I was lucky enough to wear!), she is now designing for the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles are flaunting her designs this Fall, and wow - how hot are they?! Even the black sparkly shoes are by her. No word yet if she will work with other teams...but I personally would love to see her work on the Redskinettes!<br />

I'm obsessed with this <a href="http://rstyle.me/%7EPjec" target="_blank">sweatshirt</a> - and already have it on order! Checkout the tshirt version here in <a href="http://rstyle.me/%7EPjje" target="_blank">black</a> or <a href="http://rstyle.me/%7EPjjw" target="_blank">white</a>. Not gonna lie...I'm tempted to buy the tee as well!<br />
