Knit Neutrals

Neutral KnitsFashion Magazine asked their style panel about their September resolution. Here is what I said.

This season, matching sweater sets (tops and bottoms) are going to be huge. That look is a lot for many people so  to tone down the trend look for some great knit separates that you’ll be able to pair together while shopping the new fall collections.

Sexy Valentine

What is sexy? I often ask myself the same question in terms of clothing. Trying to be sexy usually doesn’t work, as it comes off trying too hard and awkward. Rather the goal is to find a natural look, which you feel great in and allows you to glow with confidence… now that is sexy. There truly isn’t anything sexier than confidence. Well tailored clothing  will allow you to gain that confidence. No matter how you like your clothes; oversized, tight or fitted, it is important that they are cut well so that they flatter your body.

Oh and leopard print. That’s pretty sexy too 😉

This Valentine’s day will be our first as since Trevor (my photographer) and I got married and I’m not too sure of the details but we’ve discussed starting a new tradition. Regardless, I will use any excuse to dress up and celebrate our love! Happy Valentine’s my loves and I hope you all have a lovely and sexy day!

I’ve been all about prints for sometime now, mixing and pairing them in unexpected ways, but what seems to be the next big thing is the concepts of suiting and matching. We’ve been seeing a lot of this lately, with this summer’s crop tops worn with matching shorts and skirts. For fall it’s much more conservative, fitted trousers, structured yet simple blazers and this time we are challenging you to try a new print. I haven’t been able to find the perfect leopard suit, but when I found this set from Topshop a few weeks back, I thought the structure would help make do until I satisfy my sartorial urges.
