TIME TO FALL BACK

Just last Friday it was still summer . Well we're in Canada so not the 90 ° kinda summer , but still the kind of summer that makes you happy. Makes every thing beautiful and funny, basically the weather that puts the smile on Everyone's face. longer days to enjoy the parks, long walks , the beach , bicycle rides etc, etc . Every good thing must come to an end. You can either fuss about the colder weather or sit down and watch the leaves fall . As for me , while going through my closet this summer I decided not to purchase anymore clothes until the end of the year. So I'm excited about this weather change. I'll get to clean out my closet . Wardrobe overhaul shouldn't just be a spring thing . Looking forward to chunky sweaters, ponchos, coats and boots. Aah my favorite part... Less concern about leg hair ( don't judge me) . Honestly I'm excited about the breezy , slightly cooler and a little later , refreshing crisp. For the complainers , enjoy it because it's only a matter of weeks before we're bundled up like the kid from Xmas story again. It's winter not the apocalypse and it's coming so embrace it !!! Stay beautiful my loves .

Summer , Summer where art thou ??

If you live in Canada, you know by now that we only have one month of summer. So for those who are still trying to work on that summer-body, don't you worry babies , you still got plenty of time.
Moving along  I'm excited about the trends this summer. If you haven't noticed, this whole year was about the 1970s. And '' Qui dit 70s, dit bohemian".I' m a modern day hippie so long bohemian dresses, kaftans, scarves, statement jewelry and romantic lace are definitely right up my alley.
Kaftans are really easy to wear . They're comfortable, practical and very stylish at the same time. Great for summer because you can easily slip into them over your bikini. You can wear wear it to the pool, ocean, dinner - whatever float your boat.

After the boho chic look, Culottes will be my other fav trend this season. Although a bit tricky , it can look appropriate and chic. The best wear to wear the culotte? Go glam. Well especially if you're not tall, and not a model. You have to dress them up and by dress 'em up , I mean heels. You must elongate the look since  you're only showing so much legs. 

That is it for now lovers....besos

CAPE TOWN

I'm usually not excited about winter fashion because I hate winter with a passion. This year however with all the capes , bold colors coats , kaftans , kimonos  ponchos and things of that nature it was easy for me to fall in love with the trends . I'd like to call myself a new Age hippie. As much as I like the minimalist look and love that all-black-everything look, I like to throw a colorful piece on top of  " my black" .  Here are cape looks for this season.

Burberry cape 

Burberry cardigan

 Valentino cape for a more elegant look

RESURRECTION: COOGI SWEATERS

I`m a little over this fake-summer we are being treated with,  I want my favorite season back.....Mostly because there are few things I wanna wear this year . I was talking to an old friend of mine, and out of nowhere I told him that I wanted  to wear Coogi sweaters this fall. And first thing Calvin said was Can you afford it????  I thought to myself , now will be the best time to buy those sweaters since they`re far  from being popular right now. So of course I had to go search on line just to see how much they are worth now.. Found some pretty good deals...So for those of you who don`t know about this Austrilian brand...well you can thank me later..:)
p.s: I wouldnt say I want theses to come back inSTYLE  but I for sure wanna one this fall.
