Fashion 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.

During the winter months, I often resort to the most practical shoes, ignoring all of the amazing “works of art” that I’ve acquired, as I want to keep them as safe from the snow and salt as possible. We get so much snow here in Toronto, that turns into gross slush that when mixed with salt is like shoe kryptonite. As the season winds down (hopefully) keep your eyes open for more practical shoes that you’ll be able to wear throughout the season. Buying them on sale and taking care of them with the proper shoe care sprays will allow you to feel more carefree when walking in the snow.
These amazing boots are by the British label Kurt Geiger, which has an amazing sale going on right now!

This week Fashion Magazine asked a very good question, about what colours suit your skin tone nicely. If you can’t tell, without sunshine and time to tan (with sunscreen of course) my skin becomes translucent white. Here is what I said.

I believe in breaking rules… if you know me well, you know that already. Rules are created for the general, and not really the specific individual. So when it comes to fashion rules, I prefer to try to work around them. The rule No White after Labour Day dates back to the early 1800s when the “1%” would arrive back home from their summer long vacations, and put away their summer clothes. I believe that there is a time an a place for white after labour day, and I can’t wait to show you the same dress, rocked out for fall… stay tuned!

My tips to beat the heat – less is more, loose is great, and light colours are best. Put on a hat (they are cute now AND on trend and don’t forget that SPF!

I love the all whites looks I’ve seen, but never dared to rock, until I came across this amazing vintage skirt in my mother’s closet. She wore this white on white polka dot tiered look with its matching top to her engagement party over 30 years ago. I am lucky enough to have stolen both pieces from her, and to have a momma with killer style both now and then!
