Better than Hot Chocolate; Gearing up for Fall



It’s starting to get chilly outside, and there’s nothing better to take my mind off of the impending Canadian cold than stocking up on cute fall-winter wardrobe staples.  Dressing for winter affords so many more possibilities than for the warmer months; there’s layering, (faux) fur accessories and trim, and the snuggly sweaters that are the mainstays of every Canadian girl’s winter repertoire. So here it is; my non- exhaustive list of the sexiest essentials for frosty temps. 







Marc Jacobs Penn Trench
Juicy Couture Plaid Trench
       (Faux) Fur Trimmed Trench; Marc Jacobs’ 40’s- inspired “Penn” trench is a calf- skimming style with a detachable faux fur collar, and the classic piece retails for $500.00.  Juicy Couture’s plaid version is more playful, without straying from the timeless lines that make this look as versatile as it is. The Juicy jacket retails for $448.






Fur vest, $225, Mk2k



    
             (Faux) Fur Vest; Instant sex appeal for nighttime, touchable softness for day.
      
Michael Kors runway
     






     





      





 
      Fair Isle Sweater ( With or without the faux fur); Last year’s statement piece has yet to be retired to the back of the closet. Cosy Fair Isle wrap sweaters are just as cute as they were last season wrapped over lighter pieces.

Gucci, $962
     Naughty Python Pumps; Snakeskin is huge in footwear this season, and I’m crushing on snakeskin pumps in muted, metallic, and Crayola hues. There are options at every price point; if Christian Louboutin's ruffled Pumps' pricetag is a deterrent, Steve Madden’s violet version is priced at an affordable $99.95.         
Christian Louboutin, $2650
Steve Madden
Jessica Simpson Collection, $89


      
      Pencil Skirt in a Bold Colour; the perfect way to add interest to a standard silhouette, this season’s pencil skirt is best in every shade of bright. This re- vamped basic transitions seamlessly from work to cocktail attire, whether anchored with a blazer or paired with a sexy stiletto and a pretty studded cuff. Joe Fresh offers a scarlet neoprene take on the look.


      

         Luxe Loungewear: Street meets luxury, a la Alexander Wang’s provocative line of basics. Layering pieces that step it up a level with a balance of high- low elements, like sexy off- the- shoulder necklines and slim silhouettes.  This T by Alexander Wang Hoodie is streetwear at its best.
