Friday’s Fashion Fix

Winter weather can grab ahold of your mood very easily, and it often affects the way we dress. The sun only sticks around for a few hours each day and the low hanging clouds make daytime seem much more like bedtime. For all those readers out there who would rather stand out than blend in, take inspiration from your favorite desk accessory – the highlighter – and brighten up the streets with your best electric pieces. Neon is a huge trend for Spring 2012, but who’s to say this movement can’t make an appearance a few months early? Editors, bloggers and fashion followers alike are sporting the trend this winter, and there’s no one stopping you from doing the same. With a jolt of color in your wardrobe, the winter blues will have no chance of affecting you, and that pep in your step will last all winter long (provided your booties are comfortable enough!)

Friday’s Fashion Fix

With October coming to a very quick close, winter coats are on the brain. It seems as though our harsh Canadian winters often get the best of last year’s coat and Fall calls for a whole new hunt for the warmth you’ll soon need. There are all kinds: puffers, shearling, wool, down. I find it helpful to have at least two options in the winter since your coat basically amounts to your entire outfit (tear). A wool coat is especially convenient for those special events or when you’re feeling a little fancy. Conversely, a down coat is ideal for the everyday hustle and bustle. For now, I’m thinking wool, so here are a few great shots of some of our favourite women, wearing styles we can only dream to own ..but inspire us nonetheless!
