Green With Envy!

Chanel with leather...Perfect!

The holidays are fast approaching.  Rosh Hashanah (starting Wednesday) is the beginning of it all and with this festive season comes excuses to buy festive clothes.  It's no secret that color is ruling right now, but sifting through all the choices can be anything but holiday cheer"ific".

Emerald green is one of my favorite color choices.  Not only does it look good on a variety of women, changing the style from conservative to edgy is a simple task with green.  Adding leather to a great evening dress can take you from uptown to downtown, as well as adding an ivory silk blouse with a great trouser can do the same reversed.  Either way emerald green is a chic choice to getting noticed.  xoxo

Cover Up!

Not only are coats a trend, Vive le rouge!

Statement coats are just one of the top trends for fall 2011.  And honestly, probably one of my favorites.  This is one of those accessories that when purchased with some thought behind it, will last you a lifetime.  I know that some of the heavy wool and tweed textiles are beautiful and tempting, but if you're living in sunny So.Ca, that statement piece might only being talking to you from the closet.  Of course, my east coast friends have the opposite to think about.

When purchasing coats or jackets, remember their function.  Short, long, fur or leather, they all play a specific role.   I'd say go ahead on a splurge, but be mindful in your mindset.  xoxo
