LE CHIC MODE

Dressing up ??   This holiday  season I am thinking to just have a more relaxed look. No one seems to dress up as much - even though for myself I like to make it more special.  My thoughts are ; You cam wear the casual look year round , but Christmas is only once a year. . We celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So I thought  one day relaxed , the other a little more fun dressy .  For the relaxed day decided to wear the grey knit tunic with some accessories to p er k it up.  Silver necklaces add a bit of interest, just which one ( maybe both),  Day 2  Christmas Day  A knit top with some sparkle details this is one thing I really love for the holidays SPARKLE.  No need for any jewelry just nice pair of earrings and a braclet. Can wear it slacks or a nice skirt. Dressy heels and voila .  Happy holidays everyone!   🎄🌟✨🎁🎁

GETTING COMFY FOR THE HOLIDAYS Hi Everyone The holiday season is getting closer, with most of us being busy shopping, baking or sending greetings to family and friends.  After all the things are finished then it is time to relax, put our feet up and have a nice drink, ( hot chocolate please) Well its not Christmas yet, I have been thinking about what to wear over the holidays. The dressy outfit is great for a day, but what about all the other days. After the hectic time , then something comfortable to relax in is key. I adore a nice sweater, especially the cable knit look. Something so CLASSIC about cable knits. I have a few in my drawer but thought this one is a little different.  CRAZY for CABLE KNITS this sweater looks so cozy , love the sleeves , a change from the tradition cable knit look. Plan to wear it with a pair of joggers,  a nice flat shoe , some added hoop earrings. think that completes the outfit. For a pop of colour , red lipstick: a print scarf tied around...

  GETTING INTO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT Though the Christmas holidays will probably have less activities, not so many outings or events to attend, I still feel I would like to celebrate the time and get a bit more dressed up.  I love to dress up for the holidays! Though this year there aren't any office parties or visits with friends or family. We have been in second lockdown , so whether things change it is unlikely we will be entertaining family or friends this year.  We had some snow just lately, and it looked wonderful . All white and fresh.  I thought for part of the holidays to get some pieces in a creme or white  , adding some sparkle to make it more festive. 🎄A FESTIVE HOLIDAY  OUTFIT 🎄🎁🎁 A nice blazer, slacks and a sequin top , the added WOW!  Slacks are so comfortable to wear and  a nice flat slip on shoe is ideal for at home.  Dressing Up or Dressing Down  With a nice blazer  or a cardigan .   The dressy version or the...

PLANNING A TRIP? WHAT TO WEAR? It s been awhile since we had a trip anywhere, with lockdowns, travel restrictions and quarantines , it seems like travelling anywhere is not possible.  I use to take a few trips  to far off places, but after a long haul flight of  so so many hours, it does not appeal to me as much anymore. Running  through large airports for connecting flights, finding the terminals and the lineups - well you get the idea. Airports use to be fun but now i find them to overwhelming and more traveller pushing or running you over with the cases is  like being at an amusement park. I have more or less fallen in love with train travel, it takes longer but it is so much more soothing. Plus more comfortable and relaxing. Plus better for the environmen t, which is very important! SHOP MY CLOSET LOOK My ideal outfit to wear , especially if going via train are a pair of slacks , a top, tank top or t-shirt, flat shoes and a good size tote. ...

A SPLASH of COLOUR  This one dress was really a surprise. The fit is perfect, the length ideal, but what I really love about this dress is the flared bottom.  It drapes lovely and has a bit of swing to it when you walk.   I must say I fell in love with it, for the summer it  is ideal.  The other thing the price was unbelievable, that is why I am even more surprised with it.  Its a simple  A line cut with the added flare bottom  just makes it extra fun to wear.  How I wish  it came in more colors, I would have been happy to have more! Definitely my kind of style. I styled it with the bright pink cotton cardigan and a favourite small bag which can be shortened or lengthen, worn as a crossover or carried over the arm.  Pink is the  colour on trend , you will see this colour in  shoes and accessories. COOL & COMFORTABLE The dress is made of viscose material so it is  light and comfortabl...

A FEW THINGS.... shopping , fashions, trips? Well it is nearly the end of July, like many places the news is all about the virus. It can get overwhelming for many. We have been through lockdown, but like some European countries things slowly started to open( carefully mind you).  Borders opened then closed, but still some are open. Meanwhile we have been taking it careful. I had been looking forward to a trip in the spring, that didn't happen. But sooner or later we might be  taking a short trip just  a nice change of scenery.   I thought I should get something different to wear just in case plus the sales are in full swing.
