I like pink, especially that tone of pink that is subtle and goes great with darker tones as taupe, browns and greens.  Most of these pink pieces listed here are on sale, others like the home accessories are vintage.  Who doesn’t love a good sale…

The charming Italian Modern brass and enamel sconce is pretty chic and it’s vintage which makes it more valuable.  Who doesn’t always need more bow blouses, this costume silk shirt in a light pink would go great with brown pants.  Love this dress my Lisa Marie Fernandez.  A chic velvety shoulder bag.  Isn’t this pair of woven willow glass wine bottles super chic to use as decorative objects.  Pink boots for when there is no snow outside.  Pink pants.  Pretty pillow because it’s good to change things up a bit once in a while and there is no easier way to do it than with pillow.  Modern classic chairs, set of 4.  And last but not least this modern-style pink sofa is not only pretty but it’s on sale also.

Don’t think because it’s winter you have to stop wearing skirts.  There are two ways to approach this.  One is relying on winter appropriate fabrics, winter boots, socks and other methods, and the other is to pretend that cold is all in your head.  Since the last one is only good in writing, I say let’s go with the first one and let’s not freeze to death.  As this roundup shows skirts can be used year-round.  To prove that, Here are 12 Winter skirts that will make you actually love wearing them in the cold…

8 thanksgiving outfits

Thanksgiving is the most important day in the American tradition, however between football all day, food prep, and leftovers there’s little effort left for dress up.  Some choose loose or expanding clothes since most likely we’ll all end up in a post-dinner food coma.  Nevertheless, it’s always worth to make an extra effort to dress up and cheer up, so in that spirit, I have compiled a roundup of 8 chic thanksgiving outfits from semi-casual to more dressy and if need be wearing an apron…

sweater weather belle vivir-Trend-Big-Sleeves

With each day the trees are turning more colorful… the days get shorter and the sun comes out later… Perhaps it’s a little bit unnerving the fact that during Fall weather not every day is guaranteed to be sweater weather… One moment is cold and the next hour is sunny and warm…

There is one common fashion denominator in street style these days and that is everything that comes in plaid, flannel, tartan, tweed… you name it.  I wouldn’t call it a trend as some do because plaid or tartan is one of the most iconic, recognizable prints there is today.  If not ask the Scottish men… Tartan has been so embedded in the Scottish culture that they may as well start blaming all those who label it a trend of cultural appropriation.  Comes Autumn and this emblematic print is one of  the first things that comes to mind.   Below, a few pieces to get you started…

michael kors collection FW 2017

 

I’ve always been inclined to dress in a rather mature way… Perhaps it has to do with my education under the tutelage of nuns during my Catholic school attending years… Quite often I favor oversized coats and jackets.  And don’t even get me started about my obsession with blazers… It’s gratuitous to say how happy and excited I got when I saw Michael Kors Fall 2017 Collection.  It was a perfect union of discreet, power and sensuality.  If anyone doubted that all those elements could be found together in one same outfit, Michael Kors converted them.  The collection had everything Fall fashion should have except this one had an 80’s influence that made it irresistible.  The outfits were tailored but not constrict alternatively every piece, although a real interpretation of power dressing, looked enjoyable and wearable.  Jackets had rounded shoulders and good proportions, pants were pleated and cropped, waists were accentuated with extra wide belts.  All under beautiful layers of oversized blazers and camel coats.  Autumn’s most beloved colors such as moss green, camels, black, grays and burgundy were wonderfully present…

Most of the beautiful collection you can find at Net-A-Porter, of course… but for those not willing to pay full ticket price, below you can find some steals…
