While you’re out shopping for a new coat this season, you may want to keep an eye out for something like these designs from Free People Clothing Boutique.

The faux fur colllar and raw stiching along the seams help bring a feminine touch to this knee length coat. 

This beautiful white faux fur coat with ribbon detail throughout makes for an irresistablly soft look.

Last but not least, this military inspired colonel coat makes for a very unique and fun look.

Each coat has it’s own stlye that you can mix and match into your wardrobe.  There are tons of outfit opportunities.  Half the fun is figuring out which one to wear with what. 

Have Fun!

A young new designer named Anastasia Lomonova has blessed us with a wonderfully done dress. 

Femme Fatale

It is very simple and very extravegant at the same time.  There are two essential elements to this dress, that would not work well without eachother.

The pleats throughout the entire dress would be boxy without the soft silk bows at the shoulders and the complimentary belt.  The bows would be floppy and bulky with out the pleats.  Together they make a simple, elegant and absolutely beautiful dress.

The versitility of this dress is an added bonus.  It is light and flowing enough for a brunch with some friends or add some  accessories, then the detail and silky material lend to an evening dress as well.

Anastasia Lomonova moved to Canada from Russia at the age of 17.  She studied fashion design at Toronto’s University Ryerson.  She released her first collection in April 2007.  This is only her second collection and she is definitely one to watch.

If you like her style and can’t make it to Montreal, go to paper-doll.com for a few of her available pieces.

Target has done an amazing thing…. 

They have presented the first virtual fashion show! 

What a great way to make the focus become the clothes and accessories rather than the model in them.  There were holograms with no faces to illustrate the look and feel of each design.

I hope that this is just the begining of a whole new way to present new fashions.

Purchasing a new pair of shoes is one of my favorite things to do.  There are a lot of smart looking shoes to pick from this fall.

I really enjoy the ballet flats look.  These tweed flats would be great with a pair of jeans or a nice pair of slacks. 

If you want to add some excitment to a plain suit, try these round toe pumps out.  The tuxedo look for pumps is hard to resist. 

Can’t forget about the knee high boots.  This black stretch stiletto boot is a must have.  Add this pair of boots to your knee length skirt outfit and it will surely pop. 

So many beautiful shoes…..so little time.

Happy Shopping!

A wonderful thing about fashion is how it helps express how you’re feeling. 

You may wake up tomorrow morning and feel like wearing a nice dress.  The next day you may feel like wearing jeans and a T-shirt.  Sometimes you may even feel like wearing sweats.  Maybe some skulls with bows sound good to you.  You may even pick out what you want to wear the night before and change your mind because you don’t feel like it that day.

So when you’re standing infront of your closet wondering what to wear and you find yourself  asking  “What do I feel like today?”….

Smile, embrace it and try something new.  Mix and match some outfits and don’t forget to add some accessories for some extra flare.  You just may find you have a bit more bounce in  your step.

Happy Shopping!

Finally someone is getting jeans right!

These are some jeans with more options than just size this or size that. It’s I’m shaped like this and that.

Many women find it hard to get a pair of jeans that fit their shape. They fit well in one area and not in another. For example, the jeans don’t have enough curve to them so they stick out in the back or they are too straight and are baggy at the waist.
Lane Bryant has come out with some new jeans that aim to fix those problems. They have done research on how women are shaped and how they can make jeans compliment those shapes.

Great job Lane Bryant! I hope to see more designer’s follow suit.
