Be Everyday Stylish In These Comfortable Loose Pants

I have recently realized that I need to put more interest on pants.  I have about three times more tops than pants and that’s got to change.  If you are like me and don’t want to look too put together on a daily basis when running errands and going about your days, however you still want to look stylish just enough, then you should aim for loose pants that look chic while still comfortable.  Don’t get me wrong I do like my skinny jeans with boots once in a while but it comes time when I want a rest from it and just feel comfortable and chic at the same time.  All these loose pants below have in common, a high-waist, elastic waistband, and soft or knit fabric.

Clockwise from top left, knit pants in a jogger silhouette with high-rise waistline.   Cozy knit sweater pants with a straight-leg silhouette.  Chino pants.  High-waisted plaid pants with bow.

Season’s Chic Double-Breasted Coats: Expensive And Alternatives Ones

The double-breasted coat is the chicest coat of the season, and Balenciaga hourglass figure coat is perhaps the most coveted one.  Here is a selection of this season’s double-breasted coats from the expensive ones to the alternative ones.

Left corner;  this red, blue, and white virgin wool tweed coat is inspired in the 70’s and is hip-length for an elegant casual look.  For a similar version, this bonded wool jacket is an option.  The second from left; the beautiful Balenciaga hourglass-shape coat is very flattering but it’s on the pricey side, this alternative trench coat doesn’t have the same shape but, it has some similar features like lapel collar, checked fabric and padded shoulders.  Another more similar version is this Pagoda one.  The red oversized tartan wool coat is very fitting for the holidays, on the other hand, is even more expensive than the Balenciaga one.  This one may work.  Last but not least, far right, oversized herringbone wool coat.  An oversized plaid long coat as an option.

Handbags can be expensive, I know.  Since a big chunk of our salaries gets allocated to purchasing purses and handbags, no one can blame us if we decide not to get on the trend wagon.  Don’t despair yet.  The great thing nowadays is that there are so many great options of handbags from all price points that it’s easier than ever to find purses of good quality which are also in trend.  Then we can invest the more significant money on classic bags that will never go out of style, but for now, we’ll focus on the purse trends this Fall.

All in all, we aren’t really trendy if after evaluating Fall’s best fashion trends, we fail to do the same with the accessories that will spruce up those outfits.  We got our everyday ankle boots covered; now it’s the time for our purse collection to get equal treatment.  This season is offering up bags in unusual shapes, in many different materials from chunky chain handles, lucite and fringes.  The belt bag is still a must for the fashion lady who prefers hand free bags.  A pretty saddle with fringe is always fun and comes with an excellent price tag.

How To Travel Like A Celebrity In Style

Everyone likes to feel glamorous, but on an airplane ride, you might not feel like your absolute best. Wouldn’t it be nice to travel like a celebrity?  Famous musicians and actors always seem to look stunning no matter where they are, but what do celebrities wear when they go on a trip on a plane?  Here’s a hint: they keep it simple and comfortable.  Sitting on an airplane on a trans-Atlantic flight won’t always be the most comfortable, even in first class, but you’ll feel more refreshed and stylish if you choose comfortable clothes and essential skincare products to help you through the trip and don’t forget your oversized sunglasses.

7 Faux Fur Coat That Give You Allure Without Sacrificing Conscious

Seven Stylish Faux Fur Coat

I absolutely love the classic style of Margot in the Royal Tenenbaums, more specifically, her fur coat and Kelly bag, although in this picture she is actually holding a Birkin.  As much as I love the allure of a fur coat, I have a conscious which I try to feed every day on mostly good stuff, so a real fur coat is not an option for me.  Full disclosure, I have a vintage fur vest that I purchased more than ten years ago from a Sunday flea market in the streets of New York City.  Ten years later and I’m thinking of a faux fur coat which in some cases can provide the allure and classic style of a real fur coat without making you feel guilty.

While looking for one that looks as realistic as possible, I found this one.  For a more glamorous and colorful version of a faux fur coat, an oversized one will do just fine.  A faux fur coat with the name teddy in it is pretty adorable.  A leopard-print faux fur coat for the very brave ones.  A very chic chocolate color one for a glamorous night.  A short light pink one for the day.  And finally a black one for the days when we only want to wear black.
