Fur Bits ‘n Pieces October 8
Accessories, Colour & Trends, Street Fashion
For all those who constantly crave luxury (and who doesn’t, really?), designers have used fur to create lavish autumn and winter accessories. The most practical are neck warmers and scarves⎯they’ll keep wearers warm and jazz up the collars of shirts and jacket. For those who want to keep their iPhones and wallets extra toasty, some designers feature the fuzzy stuff on embellished or quilted leather purses, while others construct entire bags⎯from evening clutches to hobos⎯out of it. Fur has even made its way down to shoes⎯it’s useful as boot lining, yet extra fun when it appears on uppers or in pom-pom form. And for those who really want the head-to-toe look, there is even fur jewelry. A chain-link necklace looks especially posh when made out of mink, and fur-covered hoops are unique and bold.

Wrap It Up September 28
Accessories, Scarves, Street Fashion
During that in-between season – no longer really cold but not yet warm – fashion aficionados can keep off the chill by staying under wraps. Looped, twisted, or haphazardly bunched, large scarves adds individual style and sophistication. While patterned paisley tapestry prints remain classic, checks and multicolored tribal motifs make an impact. Floral variations on black or muted backgrounds provide a refreshing contrast to the bold graphics of previous seasons. So whether you wrap it, bunch it, or drape it, definitely show off an exciting scarf to personalize style. READ MORE +

Red Wine September 8
Accessories, Colour & Trends, Street Fashion
You can bet your Manolos red will always be a popular colour⎯so, the question is, what hue do you choose? Shades can run the gamut from true red to near red cast chocolate-brown. But, as fall is fast approaching, we say wine shades from light clarets to deep burgundies are the way to go to warm up your wardrobe. Some designers have sent models down the runway dressed head-to-toe in this bold hue. Others have just chosen these new shades of red to accessorize neutrals, a worthy investment this season. Wine handbags are luxurious in woven leather or dyed reptile and accented with hardware, while shoes in this shade (often suede) are available in a variety of styles, from pumps to wedges to booties to loafers. But if you are looking for something a bit more unexpected, this colour even graces hair accessories. READ MORE +

Sweater Girls August 25
Accessories, Colour & Trends, Footwear, Gloves, Hats
Whether we like it or not, cold weather is just around the corner, which means we need to trade in our rompers and gladiator sandals for something cozier. That’s right, it’s time to turn to knits. Need advice on what colour to choose? Look no further for inspiration than the cloudy winter sky. Gray is a perfect, chic neutral, whether it’s ombre, marled, or cable-knit. Another versatile knit option is the tunic-length sweater, which can be worn as a dress, or, when the snow really starts falling, layered over leggings or pants. And don’t forget knit accessories. Hats, scarves and gloves are staples, but keep an eye out for knit cuffs on boots and clogs. (over-the-knee socks, anyone?). READ MORE +
