Helen of Troy Dress ($350) – This is a little black dress with attitude! Love the gold studs and the simple yet stylish cut of the dress.

Last Tycoon Coat ($628) – One of the best splurges to make is on a fantastic coat. This one is no exception! The colour, notched collar, flap pockets and texture is amazing and this style will go anywhere and look fresh and new year after year.

Swing Time Coat ($398) – The periwinkle colour and puff sleeves of this feminine sweater coat is what makes it stand out. It probably won’t keep you as warm as the previous coat but it’s no less as stylish.

OR would you rather give the gift of stunning shoes?

These Nanette Lepore shoes are darling and will be in style for quite a long time.

Double Trouble Bootie ($395) – Boots and booties will be seen everywhere come fall and this one is spot on with the trend. It’s a mix of black leather and suede that’s equal parts fun and chic.

Sweetheart Flower Pumps ($350) – These are just darling! This is the type of show that will take her evening outfits to a whole new level. The rich and saturated colour and floral applique is girly yet elegant.

Hot Lovin’ Leopard Pump ($395) – Animal prints will be huge again this fall and an easy way to infuse them into her wardrobe is by a pair of killer shoes. If she’s wearing an otherwise neutral and simple outfit, these shoes will be her go-to to transform that outfit into something special.

Divine Dresses for Day Through Night

A white Eyelet Dress ($368) is a classic summer silhouette.  This strapless number by Shoshanna would look fantastic with a few minimal gold or silver accessories. The empire waist is flattering and the ruffled bodice is playful.

This Kensie Belted Silk Chiffon Party Dress ($168) is ever so girly and sweet. The ruffles at the hem, black trim accents and tie and the peter pan collar are such adorable details.  This dress is girly but it’s not over the top either.  Wear it to a garden party with black heeled sandals and a cute clutch.

This pretty Tiered Burnout Silk Dress ($178) by Maggy London is another perfect summer party dress.  This is an easy way to wear the ruffle trend without the added bulk. The burnout detail all over gives the dress a bit of interest so it’s not so plain and stark white.

Elie Tahari Packable Trench Coat; $250
This trench coat is water-resistant, lightweight and will inject a great pop of orange to cheer up those grey days. It features ornate buttons, side pocket, buckled tabbed cuffs, back vent and comes with a travel bag so you can pack it away when you don’t need it. Pretty cool idea!

Marc New York Asymmetrical Trench Coat; $195
Love the modern take on the classic trench coat. The asymmetrical hidden zip and snap front of this coat is totally chic and perfect for the girl dances to the beat of her own drum.

Juicy Couture Women’s Ruffled Cuff Trench Coat; $358
Another cute coat, this time in bright yellow. Do you know someone bold enough to wear it? The bright shade is complemented by double breasted style and 3/4 sleeves. Very girly and fun!

4 Fabulous Trench Coats for Spring

I recently got to try out a “hip-T” – it’s basically the lower half of a t-shirt, with an elasticized waistband.

It was created by Christine & Kelley, two women who got tired of being self conscious while wearing their favorite low-rise jeans – after all, no one likes to flash their underwear!

The hip-t is worn over your pants, but underneath your shirt – it just looks like another t-shirt or lace-trimmed camisole underneath:

I tried my hip-t (disclosure, I got a free one to try out) during a shopping trip, driving my car and sitting in  cafe having coffee.  It fit true to size and was comfortable to wear – I didn’t even notice an extra layer.  I was impressed with the comfort and stability of the hip-t – I needed to adjust it after climbing out of the car, but it stayed put otherwise.

I’m quite long-waisted, so even normal rise pants tend to end up as low-rise on me – the hip-t is definitely going to be a part of my wardrobe from now on
