Pop in Winter

Posted on by barbara solomon

Fall is here in full swing and truthfully us in Canada need to start prepping for winter, as we can hear it’s fast approaching.  Time to warm up with jackets and coats that are both warm and wonderful.
Winter is typically so dark, so this season try a coloured jacket, something bold and bright. If your too hesitant, try a pop of colour in your winter accessories as an easier way to have some fun in winter.

Fashion Magazine asked me about winter coats as part of the style panel.

Felt Up

Posted on by barbara solomon

I’ve said it once, and I’ll probably say it a million more times before the season’s up, fall is all about texture. Ones you can feel, ones you can see, the ones your mind creates when it mixes prints and patterns. Today’s outfit was a little daring mixing these unreal red plaid cords I picked up the other day at Urban Outfitters for the Plaid Magazine Fall Winter 2012 Issue Launch Party (where I work as the art director), with my favourite leopard boots.  I also paired it with a textured sherpa coat I got for $5 at the end of last season.

As the seasons changes from summer to fall, then fall to winter, I feel like clothes change from fun and inspired into dull and repetitive. My goal is to continue to work excitement & creativity into my closet, and always look at clothing in a different light.

My favourite pieces you’ll be able to find me in for most of the season, especially when it comes to outerwear. In Toronto, I find winter wear pretty expensive, so the goal each fall is to find pieces that are pretty classic,  and will work with every look that you are trying to accomplish.
