Fall 2013 Fashion Favorites:

Hello and how are your choices for fall wardrobe going? 

Today I will share mine with you, as it is exciting to still enjoy the warm sunny day on our terrace, some mineral water with it ... and browsing fall fashion pages.

It is less sad to be approaching the end of summer when you have some great clothes to look forward to! Right? 

My favorite is is (but of course) once again Chanel with that futuristic image in mind. 

I would describe it as outfits to wear on a spaceship with that important belt (like it contains some future technology imbeded in it) that goes with every outfit. The little globe purse is not bad either!

Love the quilted skirt:

The tweeds:

The sexied up "lady like" look:

The A-line perfection:

BELT BELT BELT:

Second, there would be parties on a spaceship travelling to some excitements ...so this is what I want to wear going out in Calgary (smiles), Jean Paul Gaultier:

LBD is a must to pack!

Strapless Seafoam colour with animal prints: 

Drama, long dress - tall hair: 

And one should not be without Dolce & Gabbana - Everyday  Pencil  Skirt Tweeds. 

I seem to buy some from them every season, they are just so elegant, the length is very lady like and the most flattering to a woman in my opinion.

Tweeds!!! 

You can wear this skirt with a simple white t-shirt or any colour simple top and you will look amazing yet casual Monday to Friday. 

OK, there is one more thing we all need "Leather Sweatpant" with oh so comfy elastic waist! Yes there, I said it! 

I will be wearing those LOTS:

Hope you are finding something to crave here and enjoying the weekend!

Runway to Workway Fashions: Classic Trench

Good Tuesday Morning!

Here is the thing, it is winter, yes in most parts of the world, but we all travel, and even here in Calgary, we get chinook winds and that means +15C within a day going from -20C or so.

Therefore, let us just focus on the most versatile, always needed, perfect classic, elegant TRENCH coat to start the 2013 fashion report;

My very recent purchase (besides the leather sofas) was a Jean Paul Gaultier trench from a store in Calgary, Ooh La La, who's owner Chris is on top as always! She gets the runway pieces and I got myself an amazing piece there (that looks like a futuristic "never gets dirty" fabric, which is great when near my boy all day).

Here is my trench coat:

Here is the model wearing it (very similar version) at JPG runway show:

Promising, I will wear more than a bra underneath...

And here is a tip for a good value purchase of an (almost identical) olive trench from the Outnet, by Gryphon:

And because my leather sofa mania is not out of my head yet, it is an impulse (my apologies) photo sharing with you all here...., this Parisian sofa beauty in leather would make any French style living or family room modern and chic in an instant!

Sometimes too much fabric in our interiors especially with classic style, be it French or Tuscan or English can bring this feeling of "old" upon us and having been recently discovering the "new" styles of leather sofas and chairs myself, it is safe to say, they have drastically evolved and surpassed its' long-suffered banishment into men's dens or libraries only...smiles.

This other white leather sofa is also named Parisian, its leather is as soft as butter and it snuggles beautifully. I say it because it is the sofa we have now, but in gray hue.

And I just have to share with you this stunning leather covered bench, that blends the history and sleek modernity. It begs the question: "Do I have space for it?"

Hope you all have a fashionable week finding the perfect classic trench and/or sitting on stylish classic upholsteries!
