Winter Fashion Trends: Getting Started

Aly Walansky — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:44:36 +0000

Are you getting ready to up your wardrobe for winter? If you are, you are probably wondering exactly what is big – and what is the most important wardrobe-additions to make.

Zappos.com

I consulted the fabulous Ann Siner, of My Sister’s Closet and realized we concur on a lot of timeless advice: i.e. responsibility is always chic. Two great ways to do this is embracing fabulous sample sale sites like ideeli or Gilt, and finding a few key items to add to your wardrobe. This may be a great new big or fabulous shoes – but it’ll be a statement piece of great value that will kick everything else in your closet up a notch.

Some other trends to love:

Leggings

You can find them in jersey, lace, cable knit, wet look or with exposed zippers. Stick with black and pair with the great selection of tunics, boyfriend blazers and vests. Even dresses can be worn with leggings or a colorful footless tight.

Bold

Bold colors are key, as is black and white and animal print. Embellishment is there for those that dare! (See those boots pictured? Those are my fabulous Two Lips Kitty Kat boots from Zappos.com – my new favorite shoes in the world!)

Low-key luxe

I’ve always found accessories to be a great way of following a trend, but not being ruled by it. This season, that includes ribbon necklaces, sky high wedges, classic totes and embellished cuffs. Don’t forget the boot paired with everything. Whether thigh-high or sky-high, a great boot can go day and evening, to the office or a stroll in the park.

Chic with an edge

Try pairing the sky-high wedge with a skinny black pant or legging, top with a feminine flouncy tunic and a simple blazer. Finish with a bold touch of color – possibly a big red flower on the lapel. Or tuck the pant in a sleek pair of over the knee boots and layer with a long bold color tee and an oversize cardigan. Tie an eye catching-scarf on your classic tote.

Ruffle Alpaca Scarf by Mayu

SP Bragg — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:46:44 +0000

You have found your perfect coat for the coming winter… now it’s time to find the scarf that is going to give it that pop. Well, this is it. Can you imagine anything more gorgeous than this?? I certainly can’t and just wait until you see the colors available. That’s the hard part… choosing just one color. The black is gorgeous, but I also think that the cream is a very close second.

Snowmen on your PJs

SP Bragg — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:48:21 +0000

If there is ONE thing I like about winter, it’s snowmen. You just have to love them! So, today, I have found a pair of snuggly warm pjs for you and yes, there are tiny snowmen on them. Charter Club Long-Sleeve Pajama Set.

And then I found these lol… if you can’t get rid of winter, you might as well find a reason to like it.

Provence French Linen Water Warm Vanilla Nougatine Spray

SP Bragg — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:19:44 +0000

I will be the first to say that I HATE ironing, but spritzing each item with something that smells decadent, just might make me change my mind. I have to admit, it would be nice to pull on a blouse that is lightly scented. Warm vanilla… yes, that’s working for me right now.

Hot Pumps of the Day

SP Bragg — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:14:18 +0000

And I can use all the “hot” I can get. We are supposed to get 6 inches of snow today. It was snowing when I got up, it’s still snowing and it’s not supposed to stop until tonight. Maybe these shoes can help melt some of it. There’s just something about red heels in January!

All are available at here…

Organic Tee on Sale at Nordstrom

SP Bragg — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:44:13 +0000

It seems that absolutely everyone is shipping out everything that is winter in favor of the warmer fashions. I only wish. Just not happening here, which might be a good thing when it comes to shopping! I can pick up items like this on sale and still enjoy a few good months of wear before I have to pack them away until next year.

This particular tee is made of organic cotton and has been marked from $62.00 to $39.90. I think I could live with that price. I particularly like the idea that the cotton is organic. I remember reading a few years that the cotton crop was the most heavily sprayed with pesticides of all the crops. I can’t remember what else they said, but that part stuck in my mind.

Airplane Approved

SP Bragg — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:33:04 +0000

I don’t know about you, but after sitting on a plane for more than a few hours, I pretty much have lost all of my color. That’s why when I noticed this section at Sephora, I clicked right over to it. Each of the items are small enough that they will fit into a sandwich bag and then right into your handbag. Need a touch-up before you arrive… not a problem anymore.

Check out what Sephora has for you. I think that you are going to like it.

Hot Water Bottle for Those Cold Nights

SP Bragg — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:20:35 +0000

Okay, I can’t seem to warm up my feet, but I have found that if I tuck a hot water bottle into the bottom of the bed, it makes it a lot easier to drift off in a matter of minutes and a certain someone won’t complain about how cold my feet are each night. And if I don’t get my eight hours each night, I’m just a wee bit cranky!

*The cover should help to hold the heat even longer!
