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.

Are you a Coastal Wanderer, the Downtown Rocker or the Pretty-Tough M.O.D?

Coastal Wanderer

Coastal Wanderer style is about carefree exploration, mix-n-match, beautiful imperfections, beach-in-your-blood and the perfect mix of earthy and luxurious.

Soundcheck Button-up, Bancroft Road Skirt

Downtown Rocker

Downtown Rocker style is all about D.I.Y. and devil-may-care: skinny stripes, over-sized tanks, studded jeans, wearing your favorite threadbare tee, stealing your boyfriend’s shirt, piling on the accessories and throwing on some black boots.

M.O.D. (Model off Duty)

Models off duty just have that certain innate sense of style..it is all about nonchalant chic, equal parts independent cool and feminine pretty, effortless and sexy with a tough creative edge.

Coldharbor Lane Dress

Every season there is one item that becomes my obsession – I can’t help but notice it everywhere, I can’t quit ripping out editorials featuring the look and I can’t stop wearing it. I know, I need help!

.

This season my obsession is the military jacket, and Quiksilver Women’s York version is to DIE FOR. It is everything I want in a military-inspired jacket – it has the drawstring waist, the patch pockets and the surplus green color I crave.

.

So yes, of course I picked one up – I couldn’t resist, and the great thing is that I don’t have to wait till the weather turns warm to take it for a spin. Nope. I wear it Now & Then.. and this is how I work it.

.

Now, I layer it with a striped tee, the QSW Karma destroyed ankle jeans, lace-up boots, and top it off for warmth with a fur vest and cozy black beanie.

.

Then, I will go easy and wear it with the QSW Wonderwall tank and the crazy love cutoff shorts. Keeping it cool with studded sandals and my sunnies!
