Question: Why Wear Scarves and Gloves in Winter?
Answer: These little fashion jewels are not only stylish but they help protect your skin. Wearing warm clothing during cooler temperatures prevents your skin from chapping and losing moisture.

Call it laid back or even a modern throwback to 50’s and 60’s fashion. Rolling up the bottom of your jeans is a trendy way of adding some flair to your denim. The only difference is nowadays you can rock the look without showing off your socks.
Fashion Tip: Are you quite adventurous when it comes to fashion? Be a little boisterous with your ensemble by wearing a pair of super distressed jeans.
If you ever find yourself having a bad hair day usually a hat is the way to go. Not only can they hide the unruly strands beneath, but can make a strong style statement in the process. We loved the wide brim hats that were seen during the Christain Siriano fashion show for his fall/winter 2014 collection. The models looked sleek, modern and oh so demure! If you do not mind bringing straight drama to your ensemble then this style of hat should definitely be added to this season’s wardrobe.
Sometimes we find ourselves with just one too many essentials in our handbags. If you are tired of weighing yourself down or maybe have needed to invest in some massages as of late you may consider looking into a rolling Chanel handbag. For the autumn/winter collection Chanel designed a bag on wheels that is just as chic as any bag you would tote around town.
Why We Love It: The geometric designs and strong structural pieces are spellbinding. We got lost in the creativity of the collection due to it’s array of beauty that seemed to meld hard with the soft. The fashions are modern, futuristic, vibrant as well as oozing a sexy sophistication.
Beauty Notes: The strong blue eyeshadow made us take notice but still didn’t overpower any of the couture masterpieces. This bold is great to add a little jazz to your autumn and winter ensembles.
One classic color pairing that can be worn by anyone no matter their couture taste would be the famous black with white. Great thing about the combination of these shades is that you can make it as conservative or boisterous as you want while still looking fresh, stylish and well put together. STYLE TIP: Who says that you have to actually wear your coat with your arms in the sleeves? Add more flair to your look by simply allowing your coat or jacket to rest prettily on your shoulders. Plus, more of your ensemble will remain clearly visible.
Little Red Riding Hood, girl you might as well eat your heart out. Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter accessories for 2014 invoke an almost fantasy, fairy-tale in a deep forest vibe. The collection includes handbags, shoes and chic shades (sunglassess) that are embellished with lace, jewels and floral baroque patterns. If you ever wanted to feel like a princess or queen for the day, indulging in these accessories will definitely make the dream come true.
Do you get a “kick” out of footwear as much as us? If you are in the market for a pair of modern, fashion forward kicks then you must take a gander at Diesel’s fall/winter collection for 2014. The line includes ankle boots, distressed denim styles and some pretty cool embellished sneakers. All in all your feet will thank you for making them look and feel so good.
Many fashionistas find the autumn and winter seasons to be enjoyable times to be stylish. Usually more layers are needed which means more couture that gets to be modeled (yes, the streets are our personal runways) and incorporated into an ensemble. Sometimes, the power of a great pant can easily get overlooked. Nevertheless, that is why the plaid pant should be a part of your wardrobe during the cooler months.
With plaid you don’t necessarily need to channel 90’s grunge (although we think that would be pretty hot) you can simply think of it as an addition to mixing and matching your favorite fall/winter pieces. Pair a plaid pant with knitwear, blazers, long vests, leather jackets and graphic tees. The overall look is attention-grabbing and effortlessly cool.
Fashion Tip: Since these bottoms can be quite bold, compliment them with more muted and less loud tops.
As you can see our obsession with all things Chanel continues! We are still huge fans of the Chanel Basket Bag, if you recall during the Chanel fashion show everything turned into a supermarket. Isn’t that so fitting for the millions of women and men that are fashion conscious? Couture and beauty truly is like food, it sustains us and nourishes the style we love to express on a daily basis. We were excited when we first laid eyes on the Basket Bag and are happy that now it is finally tis’ the season to rock it.
