As we recover from Christmas past & prepare ourselves to say goodbye to 2014 I decided to share with you "My” Favourite looks of 2014:
In the collage created I chose to showcase a beautiful classy salmon pink car coat over a simple pairing of black on black… when wearing a showstopper like Faux Fur…. you have to give it the opportunity to steal the show…. and not compete with the rest of your outfit for attention.

Since leggings are KING…. My first pick is a stretch pleather like black legging. (Dressy yet Comfy)
Faux/Fake leather (also know as Pleather) has come a long way since it’s early debut.
My earlier pleather pants were completely non- breathable and non-stretchy and you always got that butt sag by the end of the evening.
But todays version is so lightweight, and form fitting (the addition of spandex really helps to keep the shape)…. a huge improvement!
I picked up a great pair at the start of season from Topshop and they are my GO to piece.
If you are searching for a similar look but with extra comfort, I would suggest another great alternative: a pleather front Jegging with knit back.
So if you don't already have a pair… I’d say get one… after Xmas sales are a great time to snatch a pair.

My second favourite item of the year is the comeback of the FAUX FUR… (we don’t like to say FAKE) faux sounds so much more trendy …
So many fur like items have made it onto the scene this fall season.
Fur Vests…. (loving the vest this 2014) & Fur Coats …. especially in a wide array of colours. (bright jewl colours make this an edgy item!)

Everything imaginable is trimmed with fur too… ( hats, scarves, boots, gloves, purses, jacket collars,even fur like plushy knits.)

But when wearing fur one must always keep this in mind “LESS IS MORE”
Otherwise you can end up resembling Chewbacca…. (now that’s telling of my age !)
Everything neckwear is also an important trend this year.

Chunky necklaces and huge blanket like scarves (the bigger the better) in this case I would say “Go Big or Go Home!

(Oh yeah ! Gold is back in ladies !!) so time to dig out all your old gold accessories that you stuffed at the bottom of your drawers in favour of white gold.
Lastly is the sexy heel from Zara because lace up detailing was also another important statement…. No, I did not run out to get myself a pair, only because I think I am the only girl who can’t run in heels !!
I love love love beautiful heels but most of them lay boxed in my closet as I always opt for a comfortable wedge…. ( boring shoe person)
Well there we have it…. "My" Favourites from this 2014 year .
