In the summer, things seem easier for me. The weather is great and there doesn’t seem to be excuses not to do things.

But when the temperatures drop, excuses are everywhere. From the unbearable temperatures, to the slightest feeling of a cold coming, simple things like walks and social engagements seem to take the back burner for staying in and becoming somewhat of a couch potato.

This year, however, I’m fighting against the urges to stay-in and forcing myself to enjoy the weather and more importantly the season. With the focus of wellness and armed with my super warm parka, I will continue to explore this city that I love no matter the temperatures, as fresh air does the body, mind and soul good.

Fashion Magazine wanted to know how we were wearing our favourite summer pieces in this freezing cold winter we’ve been having. My suggestion was the ensure that layering was involved. Here is what I said.

There is nothing more basic and easy for a quick outfit than simple head-to-toe black. It makes getting dressed in the mornings a snap, just be sure to build textures into your outfit. Knits and cords are perfect for fall and add easy textures to your outfit. For me, in FW2013, it’s all about leather. It’s a little punk-90s-badass mixed together, and when you keep the rest of the outfit rather basic and you’ll allow the leather to do the talking.
