Besides a stylish winter coat, what you wear underneath is just as important. At some point, you will have to reemerge from the fashion safety of a trench or leather coat and have to reveal yourself. In the way of tops you should invest in a few turtle neck style shirts. They will keep you warm and also look modern as well as sophisticated. Nevertheless, thanks to their simplicity they can be easily paired with a nice pant or skirt.

Furr’d Up
Stay warm during the upcoming cool-down by incorporating furry details into your couture looks. We’re fans of fur coats, vests, gloves and even hats. These little details make the simplest outfit (i.e. jeans and top) transform into a hot style commodity. You’ll add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to your ensembles that will surely get heads turning and the fashion obsessed talking…in a good way of course!
Style Tip: Winter colors tend to be quite drab and dark, keep your couture more spirited by adding pops of color.
Beauty Question: Why Wear Scarves and Gloves in Winter?
Question: Why Wear Scarves and Gloves in Winter?
Answer: These little fashion jewels are not only stylish but they help protect your skin. Wearing warm clothing during cooler temperatures prevents your skin from chapping and losing moisture.

Streetstyle: Rolled Jeans
Call it laid back or even a modern throwback to 50’s and 60’s fashion. Rolling up the bottom of your jeans is a trendy way of adding some flair to your denim. The only difference is nowadays you can rock the look without showing off your socks.
Fashion Tip: Are you quite adventurous when it comes to fashion? Be a little boisterous with your ensemble by wearing a pair of super distressed jeans.
Fall 2014 Accessories: Wide Brim Hat
If you ever find yourself having a bad hair day usually a hat is the way to go. Not only can they hide the unruly strands beneath, but can make a strong style statement in the process. We loved the wide brim hats that were seen during the Christain Siriano fashion show for his fall/winter 2014 collection. The models looked sleek, modern and oh so demure! If you do not mind bringing straight drama to your ensemble then this style of hat should definitely be added to this season’s wardrobe.

Manolo Blahnik Shoes Collection For Autumn/Winter 2014
I will be the first to admit that I am a recovering addict when it comes to wearing couture designed with bows. I love them, rock them and always still want more. However, that is not the only reason this collection made me want to thank the shoe gods. I am also a fan of period piece films, not just for the romantic language usually exchanged between characters, but also for the exquisite and intricate fashions.
Manolo Blahnik’s shoe collection for this season seemed to have been created with ladies of the court in mind. My immediate thought was Marie Antionette would have owned every last pair and quite frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. Each shoe is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. The shoes are embellished with ruffles, baroque prints, satin, pendants, buttons as well as jewelry. The bold use of color also gives these ingenious stilettos a stronger eccentric and uniqueness.
Fashionable Mention: Chanel 2014 Fall/Winter Rolling Bag
Sometimes we find ourselves with just one too many essentials in our handbags. If you are tired of weighing yourself down or maybe have needed to invest in some massages as of late you may consider looking into a rolling Chanel handbag. For the autumn/winter collection Chanel designed a bag on wheels that is just as chic as any bag you would tote around town.
Fashionable Mention: Jane Bowler A/W 14
Why We Love It: The geometric designs and strong structural pieces are spellbinding. We got lost in the creativity of the collection due to it’s array of beauty that seemed to meld hard with the soft. The fashions are modern, futuristic, vibrant as well as oozing a sexy sophistication.
Beauty Notes: The strong blue eyeshadow made us take notice but still didn’t overpower any of the couture masterpieces. This bold is great to add a little jazz to your autumn and winter ensembles.
