Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about their Halloween costume plans. Since the festive holiday lands on a weekday, I plan to keep things very work appropriate, yet fun wearing a head-to-toe leopard suit, giving my girl Josie from Josie and the Pussycats some love.

Here’s what I told Fashion Magazine.

This “polar vortex” that has taken over Toronto is awfully hard to work with. The cold temperatures are make photo shoots brutal… but oh the life of a style blogger 😉 When the temperatures dip, I tend to try to grab my favourite textured pieces like this velvet turtleneck. So basic in style, it adds a winter/glam/retro feel that I love. What do you turn to when the temperature dips?

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about Canada’s most essential trend—coats. This is what I said.
