Fall Fashions begin
Hey All! Hope you had a fantabulous weekend. I didn't have as huge a case of the Mondays today...but ya know...it's Monday. I was actually pretty busy and on the go this weekend. It's nice to be busy sometimes. Hubby had a golf lesson so I had a little time to myself to hit the mall. Yes I may have purchased a few things. I'm slowly starting to build up my Fall wardrobe. My sister asked me this weekend what she should consider when she goes on her shopping trip ; what the trends are. My first instinct was to inform her about colours: Burgundy, huge color this season. Also, indigo to slate blue. While looking through magazines soooo many ads have these colors. Luckily, blues have been in for a few seasons so a lot of people may already have them in their wardrobe. It's great when that happens! Greens seem to be popping up everywhere too and purples are making an appearance. The palate is all over the place! But I'd say those are the more dominant colours....among a few others! I told her leather is in...not head to toe necessarily but here and there....peplums, yay....equestrian...holy cow so many that I will expand on at a later date.
So, to start her off, I gave her an example of what I would like to add to my wardrobe: A blazer. They are so crisp and can really top off an outfit. Day time, wear it with a blouse and dress pants . Night time, kick it up with some fun heels, skinny jeans and sheer top. Next, I said I would like some cobalt colored skinny jeans. I'm all about my colored denim this year. Pair it with a cute polka dot shirt (t-shirt or blouse). Then to top it off, some cute little earrings. Keep it fairly simple. How ladylike; polka dots and bows, two of my favourite things. In my little example here I paired this all with some fun little wedge booties and a what' supposed to be burgundy bag. I'm a huge fan of pops of colour and this bag does just that. Maybe the brits have had a little influence on me with the Olympics! Either way, it's a good influence. I hope I helped my sister out with her shopping. She was quite pleased with my advice. I love to help out any way I can. What fall trend would you like to start out with??

Weekend Getaway
It's almost the weekend!!!! And for us here in Canada, it's a long weekend...and for me...it's the beginning of my vacation!!! Yay! I was just having a little fun with weekend wear....I prefer to dress up a bit on the weekend because well..I don't usually during the week. Speaking of clothing, Today I saw somewhat of a fashion flop...someone was wearing Polka...Dot...Skinny...Jeans....with a frumpy sweater and not so cute shoes...ahhhh!!! I love polka dots but oh my. I wanted to turn on my fashion siren and stop her. I'm not saying polka dot pants are a faux pas, just a challenge. How would I wear them?? Well, let me tell you....for the top, a nice light blouse, maybe with a cinched waist. I'm thinking white with a little ruffle or bow ( pants are black with white polka dots). On the feet, some sweet ballet flats, either black or a soft colour (no browns...don't let me get started on that). Now this person definitely had potential..the pants were a good fit...it was just the rest of the assemble.
Anyhow, on to fun stuff...I've already started my fall forecast....not sure if anyone has noticed but sales are on (I've been getting emails for the past week or so)...which means fall fashions are upon us! My boss asked me at work if I've started checking out trends...Ha! Have I started? Of course I have!!! Been on it for a while...it's my thang. Exciting! Stay tuned! Happy almost weekend!!
p.s how awesome is that purse...adore!!!!
