Looking for a gift that will catch the twinkling holiday lights? I’m not talking about diamonds, I’m talking about sequins! Evidently, it is a pretty big deal this season. Here are a couple of fun and fabulous gift ideas that incorporate the trend without going overboard.
Zac Posen Sequin Cardigan ($1090) – This cozy cardigan is a fantastic piece to wear whether you’re dressed up or down. This can easily be paired with a simple party dress for night or jeans an a tee for day.  The multi coloured sequins come in round and flower shapes, so cute!

One of the top trends and wardrobe essential for the Fall and Winter seasons is the boyfriend blazer. A boyfriend blazer is a bit over-sized but still quite flattering as it’s fitted in all the right places. This tailored piece is a great way to transform your outfits. It gives off a playful relaxed and laid back vibe.
This Aqua Boyfriend Blazer ($86.40; originally $108) is a great menswear inspired piece to wear with a frilly feminine dress, or your black dress for evenings. For casual days, wear it with your favourite jeans and a simple tee. The outfits are endless …read more

The “strong-shouldered” look is everywhere this season. Personally, I love it, especially when it looks a little over-the-top. Not over-the-top in a football-y, 1984 kind of way, but in a Ziggy Stardust, space ace kind of way. Like this.

Try to ignore the undertheorized beauty job on this model and focus on the clothes. The silhouette on this jacket is perfect. With the pointy, wide shoulders and nipped in little waist, this baby is totally flattering. And cotton. Thick, delicious, double-knit cotton. Available for $90 from Jalvo.

I had no idea that eDressMe carried plus sizes, but I do now! Their Satin Wrap Jacket by Badgley Mischka goes from a size 2 all the way up to a 28, and you can get it in black, espresso, navy, burgundy, and cappuccino for $125. It’s extremely unique and sexy, and it wil look amazing when layered over shells, tanks, blouses, and tops.
My only complaint is that I wish they used a more “average size” model. Would you have any idea that this amazing jacket is available up to 28, with the look of this size 0 model posing …read more

With two children under four, I don’t have a lot of time to get dressed, or even to shower, every day. As a fan of Elle Canada, I get Facebook notifications of what’s going on on the Elle Canada website. One of the notifications that comes in very handy is the Look of the Day, and today’s look in particular (check it out) is a definite thumbs up. However, as a self-respecting woman with the average mom’s belly pooch, I cannot bring myself to wear the featured trendy pleated shorts. I’ve got to modify for …read more
