You May Say I'm a Dreamer.......

There is something about putting on a headpiece that makes any girl feel like a princess!  I recently purchased a few headpieces from ASOS online, and must say I am OBSESSED!  

With the holiday season fast approaching, why not add a statement headpiece to your look?  This particular piece was very affordable for just under $10.

Oxblood Trend Alert

Oxblood is the hottest colour for this season.  The name may sound a little scary, but oxblood is defined as a brownish red colour.  This rich hue adds a certain element of elegance and richness to any outfit. 

Whether you are rocking an oxblood fur jacket, leather pants, or a peplum top you'll be sure to make a bold statement. 

Style Tip:  
When following a fashion trend always remember to make it your own, and choose pieces that speak to you.  For example, maybe wearing oxblood from head to toe is a bit too much for you, but you can always tone it down buy wearing a neutral toned outfit and pairing it with oxblood accessories (i.e belt, neckless, shoes etc.).  Now you have subtly incorporated the trend in your look, but you are doing it in a way where you are comfortable and confident in your style choice.

Another style tip I consistently share with my friends and family is, always invest in pieces that will take you beyond the current trend.  It's always wise to spend a little more money in a piece that will last for years to come.  For example, both the dress and purse I am wearing in this look have been in my wardrobe for a few years now, but they are timeless and will always remain classic.

New York Cityscape

So let’s start off with talking about this amazing skirt by Rachel Roy. I am a sucker for all things multi-colour so I was defiantly drawn to this piece as soon as I saw it. With closer observation and reading the inspiration behind it, I soon discovered it was an image of the New York Skyline (how creative)!

Cityscape:  A photograph taken of Manhattan at sunset inspired a watercolor by artist Ricky Mujica; that painting evolved into the original print on this skirt. 

I decided to pair the skirt with this cut out flower appliqué from Forever 21. I love mixing different textures and fabrics as I find it always adds a level of uniqueness to your look. Remember the more you experiment with mixing and matching the items within your own wardrobe the better you will get at it! 

When you have a high waisted skirt like this, adding a belt gives it a nice polished look and ties in both the top and skirt nicely. 

Since the skirt is a fairly “loud” print you could also pair it with a simple black or white tank top to tone it down, depending on your comfort level. If you want to make it more casual replace the footwear with a pair of ballet flats and your ready to go.
