I'm An Old Fuddy-Duddy At Heart

One of my standard winter uniforms consistent of this black/grey ensemble that kind of reminds me of something a stylish granny would wear. It sort of envelopes you in warmth. There's just something about the asymmetrical cardigan that I love! I suppose it's because it just floats around you like a pretty dress...

To liven up the outfit, I added a statement necklace and some geek-chic glasses. Hang in there everyone...winter has to end at some point...

Always Maintain a Kind Summer...

...even in the dead of winter.

Back to Black

This is the versatile coat that got me through a whirlwind tour of east Asia. As some of you may know, I went on a trip to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong last November and this coat saw me through the brisk Tokyo evenings, the first snow in Seoul, the unexpected chill of Hong Kong and the return to the imminent winter in Canada. 

What I love about this coat is its many faces. You can dress it down with jeans and mitts or dress it up with a dress and silk scarves. And this modest piece of outerwear never needs to be the hero of the story. In this look, I've thrusted one of my favourite long, thick scarves onto centre stage and its rich details are the perfect compliment to the blank canvas of the coat.

Although I do need to trade this model in for a more down-y coat on those sub-zero days, I'm just gonna go ahead and add a black wool peacoat to the list of every woman's must-have winter essentials.

Leather Pants Puzzle

Putting together an outfit is like putting together a puzzle. Not in that there's only one right answer, but the pieces do have to fit together just so. It's that same satisfaction and triumph in finding the perfect shoe or earring to pull an outfit together.

No question about it, this outfit is built around these faux leather pants, a staple in any fashion lover's portfolio. Throw on a warm cardigan, a pair of aviators and all you cool cats need is a wall to lean on. Check, check and check.

Dressed To The Nines

Once in a blue moon, we like to cut loose with our coworkers away from our computers, files, deadlines and instant messengers. One such coworker, Miss Khanh (pictured above as the third Charlie's Angel), was actually the reason this blog came to pass. She even sent us an outlook appointment so we couldn't back out of it!

We convened with several other company cohorts at the recent RAW Art Show to support another coworker of ours, Michael Vesia (to be featured on the blog as the guest photographer in an upcoming post)! We also took this opportunity to feature the man behind the camera for most of our shoots, Mr. Kyler Kelly, looking dapper in a polka dot bow tie combo (ahem, courtesy of yours truly, Jackie the GF). 

All in all, it was an evening of fine dining, fine arts and fine attire to remember!

Breaking All The Rules This Fall

Photos by Kyler Kelly

I've always hated the no white after labour day rule. It seems so arbitrary and absurd to limit fashion in such a way. Just like how style should always be emphasized over trends. I hope you Frockers whip out your floral prints, fresh pastels and crisp whites well into the new year should your pretty little hearts desire. Fashion after all, is about feeling!

Frock on!
