Bonjour, this halloween I’ve gotten inspired by my recent trip to Europe visiting family in London and Paris. When Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what they are dressing up as this halloween this 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.

The basic white button down is the most simple staple that has so many varieties. This season they remain on trend, but there are different ways to style this shirt. Fashion Magazine asked their style panel to examine some of their favourite ways to change up this look this season. Here is what I said.

For those of us north of the border, we’ve been patiently awaiting the opening of Target forever, and now that its officially here, my question is have you gone? I haven’t, I’m waiting for one to open up a bit closer. One of the great things about Target is their designer collaborations. This tanktop is from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection that came out back in February,I fell in love and ordered it ASAP.
I can’t wait to see the next high fashion designer to come to Target!

Fashion Magazine asked about investment pieces here is what I said.
The combination of winter season and the current 90’s trend channel the 1996 film The Craft. Minis, plaids, crop tops, blouses, pleats, menswear and heavy boots are just a few of the fashions you can get inspired by while watching the movie.
(Please excuse the need of my roots touched up – all fixed now!!)

Sweatshirts with graphic prints are all the rage this season, and for the first time can be worn confidently outside of your bedroom. This one is one I’ve held on to for many many years, as a child I grew up with the owner’s of this fine grocery store, and it brings back many memories of running through the store, nibbling on all the fresh produce and baked goods. (oh those are grapes from my local fruit market)

Today I played with textures and patterns. I couldn’t help myself when I found this leather/knit sweater the other day. Leather is beyond a hot trend this season, and goes hand-in-hand with the textured fall concept we’ve discussed in previous posts.
These amazing boots were quite the investment piece, I’ve owned them for years, and each fall season I can rework the above-the-knee boot into a new look.
