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.
