It has turned into spring here in California! The birds are chirping, the sun is soothing and flowers are smelling sweet, which means of course, it is time make the closet switcheroo. The furs, heavy coats and flannels can be stored away and the lightweight knits, gingham prints and sherbet colors can make their way into my closet doors

.

With all this change and sunshine I am craving a few new things – the basics to a great look for spring. Number one on my list is the Chancery Lane Tank from Quiksilver Women’s spring collection. I love it’s loose fit and the cropped front with an exaggerated shirttail. The shredding at the back just make it all the more appealing.

Getting my hands on this tank will mean wearing it with bell bottom jeans and sandals for day time or with a bandage skirt and booties for a night on the town. Spring is so easy and effortless.. I can’t help but love the change.

Having wrapped up the Quiksilver Women’s Launch at Bloomingdales, I felt it would be fun to share with everyone who wasn’t able to attend the event, the in’s and out’s of the Personal Style Guide! So here is a peek inside, which should get you excited to start dressing up your spring looks.

Signature style is what sets apart that one woman in the room and makes her impossible to ignore.  She is not just wearing the latest fashion, but is wearing something that is “so her”.  She has a defined, unique sense of style that transcends time and trends.  She is inspired by art, music and travel, and she pulls it all together with a laid-back, beach-born attitude.  She is an “it girl”; an icon-in-the-making.

.

The Quiksilver Women’s brand celebrates that spirit of creative, sexy and effortless style. Here we explore three signature styles that make the Quiksilver Woman.
