Pale and Bold

Posted on by barbara solomon

A couple HUGE trends for winter are dressing in a single colour and winter pastels.

I have loved tonal outfits for a long time now, not only does it make things very simple in the morning, but it always creates a bold look. Whether it be, all white, black, red, pastels, or kelly green (which I’ve worn a few times and can be found at Joe Fresh right now) try playing with tints and shades that live in the same hue.

Pastels were big for spring and summer and are making their return for winter— hope you had the chance to stocked up at the end of season sales.

Time Sensitive

When you are rushed it is important to have “go to” items in your closet that you know will always work. Simple dresses, jeans, your favourite sweater, or a favourite leather coat. These items are important as they are likely classic staples.  And as the holidays approach, and time seems to get sparse getting dressed needs to become more efficient.  Take some time over the weekend to review what you have going on in your closet and try stuff on, as you may be surprise how things fit.

90’s Inspired Furs

Posted on by barbara solomon

Fur & faux fur has always made me question everything. I love the texture it provides to any look, even though I feel completely awkward wearing it. But it’s time to get over my fears, as it is clear it’s here to stay. My suggestion is always to buy faux, though vintage furs are a completely different story, as these are likely classic and timeless.
