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?

So it’s a new year, and my resolutions are to … continue as is.

Well no. I have many resolutions, but in terms of fashion, other than shop the sales and vintage (which is always the mandate) I resolve to continue styling away, and creating more interesting looks to blog and share!

This season texture is everything, and this velvet Joe Fresh turtleneck paired with this amazing micro-fleece sherpa coat by Pins and Needles is just so fun to touch!

Wishing you all a fashionable new year! 🙂
