‘Tis the Season of Winter Fashion

Winter is coming – and even better – so are the holidays. This is a time for family, fun, giving and of course – looking great. We want to make sure you know exactly what’s hot when your schedule is piled high with dinners, parties and traveling.

COLOR BLOCKING. This trend has been back and forth in the fashion world, but it’s here and brighter than ever. Color blocking outfits can flatter your figure with the division of color. Use bright colors to accentuate the part of your body you love and the darker to suppress those you don’t. It’s genius.

What you need to remember about color blocking is very easy: Use one bright color, one bold color and one neutral. Rashida Jones and Stella McCartney both pop out of this photo with their great color combos. Stella even went for the duo of colors which is great for elongating the legs.

Other great trios…
Orange, Purple, Black
Navy Blue, Hot Pink, White
Coral, Cobalt Blue, Grey
 

The colored jean craze makes color blocking so much easier. Match a bright color with an opposite color shirt and you are good to go!

BIG SCARVES. Heavy and soft scarves are another trend on the horizon for winter. This great accessory adds color, texture and warmth to any outfit and can be recycled from the fall collection you probably already have. This Tolani scarf Jessica Alba is wearing is very popular. Leopard scarves are a great way to add style to a simple color scheme. We all know black is a huge hit during the winter months. This pattern will spice up the outfit perfectly.


FAUX FUR. This trend can either be done subtly, or strikingly! It looks great on a collar for a hint of chic, but it also can be worn as a vest (our favorite). Rihanna is rocking the collar faux fur and it gives her outfit a “cool” element. Whereas, Kim K is showing fur from neck to hips. Remember, earth tone and deep bold colors go great with this trend. If you want to be comfortable, try jeans and a vest. If you are going out or to a dinner party, try wearing a dress with a fur coat.

Stay warm and cute!

Happy Shopping,
