Chic It Is - My 5 Faves From the Martin Grant Spring 2014 Collection

We live in such an overexposed world that sometimes I need to be reminded that not every occasion calls for something clingy. So it's always nice when a designer presents us with other options like Martin Grant did for his Spring 2014 Collection. Some of my favorite pieces from his collection played with patterns and reworking classics by playing with volume. 
Below are some of the smartest, chicest buys of the season.

Below is one of my favorite dresses from the Martin Grant Spring 2014 Collection. I wanted to showcase how I would style it. Even though this dress would work well for day, I decided to go a different route and style it for cocktails or a dinner date. I paired the dress with a Zac by Zac Posen Loren Shoulder Bag and Ava & Aiden Pipa Two-Piece High Heel Sandal. To work with the bold print of the dress a minimal makeup look is all you need. I would rock a smokey eye (right now I'm loving Benefit's Smokin' Eyes Gift Set) and a nude lip to add a sultry edge.
