Outfits : Sparkle and Shine in Rich Colour and Texture

A great holiday outfit!

These separates will provide you with lots of wear this season and beyond. The gold blouse is made of a light, delicate wool, with the perfect amount of champagne sparkle. Pair it with navy, charcoal, black, white, dark green – almost any colour looks amazing with it. And believe it or not, this skirt is made of a beautiful thick, rich silk used to make men’s neck ties! The skirt has amazing body, is very forgiving, and looks equally great with a white cotton button down shirt, or a chunky knit sweater.

A big trend for Fall/Winter 2014 is the oversized clutch. This one by Les Prairies de Paris pays a modest nod to the trend, without running the risk of being over too quickly. The proportions are only slightly exaggerated (which does have it’s advantages with being able to carry slightly more than just your lipstick and keys!). It’s clean lines, and oh so soft leather in a rich navy, is very easy to have and to hold.

Outfits : Bright, Clean Greys

Mercy grey wool dress | Mina Perhonen Intarsia Cardigan

A very simple and beautiful look of bright, clean greys.

This minimalist wool sleeveless dress can be an absolute wardrobe staple. Layer a thin breton stripe shirt or fitted long sleeve t-shirt underneath, or try a jacket or cardigan over top – both if it’s cold! This grey and white Intarsia cardigan by Mina Perhonen is made in Japan and absolutely stunning. We have included a number of views so you can get an idea of just how special it is – and while light and bright in feel, this outfit is winter appropriate, made of wool.
