Rock The Coat

Any fashionista will tell you that she cannot own just one coat. Once the cold weather comes around your coat will be what every stranger on the street and rider on the train will see. Don't get stuck into the boring black coat rut. My advice is to invest in one classic coat, think charcoal grey or camel, as an alternative to black. If you have a bit of extra cash, also invest in a trendier coat; the military-style comes back every season. I also love the idea of a classic coat updated with leather sleeves or trimmings. Good quality will ensure that your coat will be with you for many seasons. Accessorizing your outerwear is just as important as styling any normal outfit and can change the look of your coat. Don't let your winter wear be an afterthought. Find inspiration to make those cold days more stylish than ever!

Audrey Hepburn Inspiration

One of my favorite actresses of all time is Audrey Hepburn. I grew up watching old films with my mom and sister and fell in love with the glamour of the Hollywood stars. I feel like my style has two very distinct personalities. On one side I am very classic, tailored and paired down. On the other I tend to be more experimental with my look, for example, pairing a blue peplum top with leopard pants here. If all else fails, I channel my style icon, Audrey.

Foxy Lady

Every season it seems as if the equestrian trend is resurrected in some capacity. I remember a few years ago horse print was the thing, and I purchased a beautiful dress from Zara covered in a fox-hunt scene. It looked like one of those paintings you would find in an old pub. Someone even stopped me and asked, "Are those horses on your dress?" Yes they were, and I loved it! This year it seems as if the trend has focused on the fox. That sly little fox is making his appearance on everything from scarves to bracelets to the front of your sweater.

Weekend Wants: NYFW

Sadly, I am not at NYC Fashion Week this year. But if I was, you would find outside Lincoln Center wearing this. I have had my eye on this Reiss dress since the day it appeared on the website. I am also having a jewelry love affair with the new Loren Hope collection- check it out here. The Roxy Earrings are to die for! If you are, or could be, strutting your stuff at NYFW, what would you be wearing?

Enter Fashion Week

  Edited by: Victoria of vmac+cheese There must be something in the air this week. Something that made bloggers think more about their own personal style and pull out all the stops to look unique, creative, and fabulous. Hmm…I can’t think what that might be…? Between multiple blogging conferences in NYC and the kick off of Fashion Week (what, you hadn’t heard?), it was clear that this week, style bloggers were ready to bring it. Read on for fantastic posts on fall trends, and a healthy dose of street style fashion too. Just because you’re not in New York doesn’t mean you can’t pretend!

Au Natural

I once read somewhere that women look their most beautiful with their natural hair texture, a notion very few of us follow. We wavy-haired girls want perfect spiral curls or glossy straight hair, while the straight-haired girls are dying for more volume and the curly-haired girls think, ‘if only my hair could be straight...’ When it comes to hair, as with most other things, we want what we don't or can’t have. So my challenge to you all is to embrace your natural hair texture even if that means going without the straightener, blow-dryer or curling iron once a week. Embrace what nature gave you, go au naturale. Remember, more often than not, when you’re cursing yourself over your frizz or lack of volume, someone somewhere is wishing they had your hair!

If you are a wavy-haired girl like me, I find these to be the best products to use to reduce the frizz and create a defined curl.
