The Softest Cashmere Sweaters I Love

I just got back from Istanbul two nights ago, and I’m swamped with work, there is a lot I have to catch up with.  So this post will be shorter than usual.  I always like to get myself one or two cashmere sweaters for the cold weather.  Cashmere is the ideal luxury fabric to keep you warm and comfortably soft in the cold, but the coveted fabric has always been expected to be expensive.  Nowadays, many brands offer quality cashmere at very reasonable prices.  I particularly love Vince cashmere sweaters because besides being soft and of great quality, they are stylish as well.

Brock Collection Fall 2019 Cool And Sophisticated: The Look For Less

Brock Collection is a women’s luxury ready-to-wear label founded by Laura Vassar Brock and Kristopher Brock in 2014.  The Los Angeles-based house creates women clothing that is sophisticated, down-to-earth, and just beautiful.  Brock’s Fall 2019 collection had exquisite fabrics and silhouettes such as flower evening dresses, mix and match separates and my favorite part, long tweed dresses, skirts, and jackets.  Part of the collection undoubtedly can remind us of Chanel but with what Brock’s call a “raw romance” and a more modern, down to earth wearable approach.  Scroll down for the look for less.

Two Perfect Neutral Outfits: From High To Low

The weather has been absolutely crazy this past month, from temperatures fluctuating from below zero to over 50s, heavy rain and scary-clouded skies, but I can’t think of anything else than neutral outfits, mostly in light colors.  Colors from camel, navy blue, beige and browns have been swirling in my head.  Whether you prefer to keep the neutral style casual and wear your fashionable sneakers or formal and instead wear a pair of heeled shoes, a traditional neutral outfit will get you through the door.  Accessorising is how you add the chic part to many outfits, so don’t forget to add a good pair of earrings and a good bag for the icing on the cake.

The Latest Bags That Will Upgrade Your Closet: Get Curvy

Nowadays you don’t have to spend top dollars for a good quality beautiful bag.  The dynamic of the handbag business has changed forever.  Many newer brands have come out with beautiful modern designs of exceptional quality and craftsmanship without the high price tag.  Or at least that is at the humble beginnings of a brand; later after they are in business for a few years, everybody starts feeling they are Hermes and the prices get a bit too much.  For now, these are the latest styles in handbags that will for sure upgrade your closet and the prices are still very reasonable.

Add These Five Rust Colored Items To Your Wardrobe This Season

Rust is an orange-red-brown color resembling iron oxide.  It is a commonly used color in stage lighting and appears roughly the same color as photographic safelights when used over a standard tungsten light source.  The color is number 777 in the Lee Filters swatch book. -Wikipedia.  For me, while rust is a color that many may find it difficult to pair with, I think it can be matched with any color, from black to green.

I love it in winter because it’s a warm color, however, it can be used during summer as an accent color as well.  Below, find five fashion items to add to your wardrobe for whenever you feel like adding a color that is warm, elegant and soothing at the same time.

Yes, You Can Wear White In Winter

wear white in winter 5

Fashion has been revolutionized ever since the first “important person” dared to say, in public that it’s absolutely ok to wear white in winter.  So after that, it’s ok to wear white in the winter.  It never occurred to anyone that after all, snow is white and only happens in winter.  As a matter of fact, right now everywhere I look at is covered with white snow.  Don’t take me wrong I don’t necessarily approve white summer-looking dresses for the winter.  Maybe this latter has to do with the fact that I’m always cold and can’t conceive the idea.
