Fashion Freshman

Back to School- My 3 favourite words- till the middle of October when we are inundated with our children's' projects and homework.

This fall my eldest son is starting high school and I am looking forward to the " no nonsense " phase of school wear. He, on the other hand is appalled that Adidas training pants will no longer be the staple of his every day attire.

I ran into a friend recently and while I was rejoicing in the prospect of no longer fighting over morning attire,  she is facing the opposite dilemma.

How does someone who has had to wear a uniform for the past 5 years, that was preselected and decided for them by an establishment that clearly has no Fashion sense embrace the freedom
of style ? 

Here is an easy place to start: 
After trendalyzing what's in the stores for Fall, I choose to compare them to my fave 80's iconic movie " The Breakfast Club".

Are you the Brain? the Basket case? a Criminal? the Princess? or the Jock?
​
Or Perhaps your Style is a Combination of all?

Fashion is for the "BIRDS"

5/17/2016

Some may say that Spring is for Flowers.... I say
"Spring 2016 is definitely for the Birds!" -No pun intended :)
Picture
Birds are BIG for Spring /Summer 2016.
​
​Discrete abstract minimalistic birds or large elaborate multi colored designs offer the right mix of Whimsy.
​
​Pelicans, Swans, Peacocks & Flamingos. Appliquéd, All over prints and Large spot embroidery - Fowls are Funky.
Birds flocked the ladies and mens runways for many design collections for Spring and Fall. A refreshing quirky way for wearing your prints this summer. ( Whenever it gets started ! ) 

These beloved birds are symbolic of freedom with their ability to roam the earth and soar the skies.

If I had to suggest only one key element this spring to freshen up your wardrobe it would be to select a fantastical statement print.
Personally I am loving the Flamingo ! 
​

If Big Birds are not your thing, I get it...
​There are a slew of other whimsical prints trending too: Bugs & Insects,
Cats & Dogs, Aquatic & Prehistoric Creatures.
Find your Fantasy.

ONE DIRECTION

I do not know anyone who doesn't love a good stripe !

Stripes are the epitome of symmetrical summertime style. 
Picture

STATEMENT STREET STRIPES

This season's stripe delivers a BOLD statement.
​Graphic 2 color stripes are trendiest for Spring 2016.
​
Street style shows how a timeless staple in everyone's closet can take a new direction.

The easiest stripes to wear are in knitwear. 
This summer try a vibrant breton stripe knit top.

Sometimes nothing says "Cool"

ARE STRIPES ONLY ONE DIRECTIONAL ?

Picture
Women tend to prefer the vertical stripe direction.
( I can't argue it is most flattering for most. )

Menswear have been favouring the horizontal stripe these last seasons.
Traditional dress shirting  stripes have shifted from conventional demure to bold.  



The most famous stripe is the Mariner stripe or Breton stripe. An even spaced  2 color stripe, typically white & navy. The first stripe shirt was introduced to sailors sometime after 1858. 
​The original design featured 21 stripes, one for each of 
Napolean's victories


 It's no surprise I  would associate this iconic stripe with none other than my personal favourite fashion bad boy: J.P Gaultier- the master of stripes !!

THE RIGHT TRACK

3/17/2016

If New York & Paris Fashion Week showed us anything recently, it was that Track Pants are Back and showing off runway and on !
Picture

TRACK STARS

Rag & Bone and Chanel had 2 distinct visions of the Track:
Dressed Down: Casual day-lounge worn with longer tops and athletic shoes.
Up Town Track: Wide side panelled pants paired with shorter tops and heels.
Rag & Bone-runway- fall2016--track-pants-fashion-trend
Chanel-runway- pre fall2016--track-pants-fashion-trend
What humours me most about this trending track is how many mornings ended in a fight between my son and I. These last 2 years his daily uniform consisted of Adidas training pants and baseball tees. Who knew I had a budding fashioner on my hands.

​Lucky for me this season we are wearing the same size !

HOW TO WEAR YOUR TRACK PANT OUT:

If sporting traditional knit training tracks... choose an un-related dressier top
( untucked longer blouse, glam tank )
Vary your shoes and opt for a graphic clutch for an All Star look.

Get ON TRACK

Adidas makes the best track pants in my opinion and Rita Ora's Japanese inspired collection for the sport company really amped up the style.
​Her collection injected the right mix of fashion leisure and youthful appeal.

Leave your Lemons aside this spring and try the Track.

HOW TO WEAR THE SWEATER DRESS

3/4/2016

6 Comments

 
See how a simple winter staple can be worn straight till Spring. 
Picture
Some like to gaze into their crystal balls for glimpses into the future.... I prefer to monitor Street Fashion for what's "Hot Now". The Sweater Dress.
Nothing new..... but here are 3 trending, easy to wear ways to update a winter essential.

Leave Your Pants Behind Look.......
A dare and bare shorter length knit dress worn with tall thigh boots. 

Fold Over Belt.......  
Cinching the waist is a must this season, especially with an all the rage knotted leather belt.
​
Xtra Long Top Over Bottom...... 
An exaggerated longer length sweater dress layered over a pant or skirt. Looks great with a sneaker or a flatform.

STREETSTYLE SWEATER INSPIRATION

Shop THE LOOK

Think: Marled Yarns, Grey & Bone, Tactile Knits, Funnel Necks and Lots of Layered Looks.
Zara Round Neck Long Sweater
Stuart Weitzman Thigh Boots
