LE CHIC MODE

 New beginnings / fashion trends  The end of the year is fast approaching and it has been a rather strange year.  But what has changed in fashion is the issue of sustainability! The word has become the buzz word in fashion. From recyclable fashions, restyled or vintage style.  I for one keep to a certain style or print mostly. Sometimes adding color in the mix. A bit of red , blue or hot pink are my favorites.  Recently read an interesting article on the trends for 2024.   Some I am happy to say I already have in my wardrobe and other not. But basically I won’t need to buy anything new in 2024.   2024 trends are for me ideal . Polka dots , anything red ,knitwear and  a splash of metallics . These are things I have already in my closet . The classics and usually timeless.  Read more about these looks here https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67413429

FASHION merry go round After so many years of looking at fashion in the stores, magazines or fashion shows there are  some things I would consider a good choice and some not so much.  Some of the styles or trends that I find appealing and I think will last years LOVING BERMUDA I am really liking the Suits, be it a pant suit or the newest BERMUDA shorts suit. The bermuda short is a practical piece for wearing in the summer, whether casual, business or when travelling.   A great piece to get! SHOES   i love shoes and the new look is one I can't resist, shoes with chains. Looks like an ankle bracelet .  so pretty and fun.   You also can just wear an ankle bracelet with  a pair of your shoes , looks that same. LE VESTS another piece I find works well. Wearing it with a  simple t-shirt, blouse or just the vest. The vest worn over a t-shirt and a pair of bermuda shorts a  very nice summer look. A vest can be ...

THE TRENDS  love or hate? Well the trends of the year were interesting to see , so many new things. Starting with handbags, shoes  and the fashions. HANDBAGS from the mini handbag, belt bags and the saddle  , purses. Croc look is one look that is going to be out there this fall and it is for me a CLASSIC.  , Wicker was everywhere again this year, like last year. So it is worth finding a nice wicker tote. I have to say purses are my love, so I am all for the bags that were out this year. JEWELRY go small or big jewelry is really a personal thing, some like bigger some like small delicate pieces. I adore most jewelry, in most combinations and designs.   So for me , I say wear what you like. Its your personal piece . SHOES   Strappy barely there sandals were seen everywhere this summer, I love the look but I can't imagine the shoe to be to comfortable or wearable for a long time. ...

ALL ABOUT TRENDS Fashion  is all about trends and being on top of the latest trends, for those that have a large following  it is important to showcase those trends - be it designers or latest styles from other retailers. Some trends were okay , some I wondered about.  Here are some trends that had me wondering. THE FURRY SLIPPER aka gucci It was everywhere the furry slip-on shoe by GUCCI . Every influencer on instragram  seemed to being  wearing these fuzzy things.  I love slippers or slip ons,, but truth is  to me those furry things are more suitable  in the bedroom. Reminded me of the leather slippers my dad would wear, minus the fur .  I did like the plain slip-on though , for a cool casual roundabout the house or errands. Don't get me wrong I adore Gucci. The Belt  and the purses.    PLASTIC BAGS and the ENVIRONMENT  Lately its been in the news plastic is polluting our plane...
