Fashion, like any form of art, requires inspiration. A trip to your local museum, art gallery, or concert are great places to see culture in from a different perspective.

I took a trip to The AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) and feel in love with the love story that was Frida & Diego. Their different outlooks on Mexico’s revolutionary culture during the 1920s and 1930s and how they expressed the same emotion, differently, was truly inspiring and is the reason they are considered Mexico’s most famous artists.

holiday

With so many parties throughout the holiday season, and moving forward into the new year, it’s best to be prepared with a few great looks. Planning ahead as mentioned previously, will allow you to refine outfit and give you a chance to customize the look, and makes getting dressed a stress free experience.

Studies have shown that couples, when packing for a trip, planning a party, or getting ready to go out, will fight the most, so save yourself and your loved ones some headaches, and plan ahead. What my girlfriends and I do before the party season starts is have spontaneous styling parties, we will start by showing each other a new piece, and by the end of the night, we’ll have a bunch of new outfits documented on our smart phones.

My memory is sometimes not reliable so I always suggest snapping a picture of a great look you try on.

Fashion Magazine asked the style panel what we’ll be wearing on New Year’s Eve, here’s what I said.

90’s Inspired Furs

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.
