LE CHIC MODE

HAVING A BEIGE MOMENT The shade beige is really a very versatile colour. It goes with so many other colors and prints. Whether you like to mix it up with other colors or patterns is something to consider. Sometimes an all over neutral can start to look a bit boring, but if you add patterns and some color it changes the look. One way to make a simple change is by adding a pattern. The beige linen blazer that is in previous post is one piece that i can change in so many ways. Today I paired it with a flared skirt. The leopard print which also reverses to a striped print. A skirt that can be worn two different ways. A great piece and with so many other ways to wear it.   wear it with beige , black or white accessories. wicker purse or a colourful bag for added interest whether orange, mustard or red. linen blazer: nine /old skirt: nygard design/old

MY KIND OF STYLE Yes, Valentines Day is just around the corner for those that celebrate or not.  I am a BIG romantic and of course it is always nice to get flowers and make a special day of it. Sometimes we dress up  or if going casual, then a more comfortable look is an option Here is one look I would wear for a casual night out. A simple cable knit pullover ( on sale), pair of leather slacks or jeans/check print slack, a modern look necklace, large mens style watch and a animal print handbag.   The faux fur wrap I wear over my  l eather biker jacket for extra warmth.

Well fall   temperatures have made me think …. time to start wearing a warmer coat.  For fall fashions I for one am looking forward to the change of  fabrics and colors. It Is nice to see some change of colors -  but one thing I think will be still in style  are  Leopard prints.  Perhaps in more mutes shades or lighter tones. So when I  saw the ad for Dior , I was excited. The new Dior ad with Jennifer Lawrence wearing a leopard print coat is really classic and chic.  I for one , for sure will still be wearing my leopard print coat. its my staple for the fall time.  The beige black brown tones is the usual ,  but i happened to get  a few years ago a nice one in a grey tone .  A nice change for the season. Think the grey is little more subtle and can make some splash of color with purse or scarf.wear it with slack, skirt and tights, or jeans. You can not go wrong with a leopard print.   A GREY LEOPARD ...
