Style Groceries: Fall Trend Report

School is in session, the sub-polar point is on the equator, the trees are dying and the air is getting crispier by the hour. This means Fall! With autumn in full swing, its about time we put aside those summer trends and reel in the new fall report. This season, designers are inspiring us with exotic prints and sweater dresses, power suits and bold hues. It’s the fall of the fearless fashionista!

The Top Four Style Groceries (worth buying and adding to your own Fall 2012 collection) this Fall: 

1.Oxblood coloured things… Be it jeans or dresses, jackets or scarves, bags or neck warmers. Fashion know-it-all’s are raving over this rich colour.Photo- Pixie Market.

2. Ankle boots… Leather, suede, canvas. Grab them and go! photo-Alexander Wang.

3. Tuxedo jackets… They can add a touch of class and a dash of elegance to any outfit. photo-Stella McCartney.

4. Baroque accessories… This exotic print is inspired by the 17th and 18th century of exaggerated European art. Think Bach or the palace of Versailles… photo-Alexander Wang.

What are you wearing this fall?

Keep it classy,

Style Groceries: Red Carpet Essentials

Picture this: Its Sunday evening (tonight’s the Emmy’s), you step out of the limo wearing a sparkling silver evening gown. Your hair is curled and pinned up to the side in an elegant messy bun. Your wearing the earrings your grandmother gave you for graduation. Your eye makeup is stunning, (really bringing the colour out of your eyes ;)). Your lips are full and glossed up, but you should probably add an extra coat… but wears your clutch? and wouldn’t a ring look nicer with your grandmothers earrings?  And why does your head feel so heavy, how many pins did you put in anyways? And wait a minute, your nails, they’re so blah…

The same way food groceries are necessary for survival, style items are essential to an outfit. 

What style grocery would you need to finish your award winning Red Carpet outfit?

This gets me thinking… what would I wear if I went to the Emmy’s?

Keep it classy ladies,

Style Groceries: Hi-lo Skirts

Mullet skirts, hi-lo skirts, up seam skirts, asymmetrical skirts, dip hem skirts- whatever you call them, these skirts are all the rage this season. I personally like hi-lo skirts because they’re a two in one piece, great for casual and semi-formal attire. Usually I’m faced with the dilemma of choosing to wear either a maxi skirt or a mini skirt,  but with hi-lo skirts I’ve got the option of wearing both (at the same time 😉 ). The asymmetrical train of fabric adds a sense of elegance to any outfit.  Here are a few of my favorite hi-lo skirts…

Style Groceries: Caviar Nails


The Ciaté Caviar Manicure comes from the mind of Charlotte Knight, the founder and Creative Director of Ciaté. The caviar design takes nail art to a new level, the imitation fish eggs add an extra dimension of creativity to any manicure. So far the caviar pearls come in rainbow, black pearls, and mother of pearl (white). For about $25.00/£18.00 it gives the illusion of having the expensive fish egg delicacy at your fingertips, well, actually on your finger tips.

Would you wear the caviar manicure?

Prints Charming

     Printed accessories are über trendy this season. I’m seeing printed jeans, printed sunglasses, and printed watches everywhere- however, my favorite printed accessories are wallets. I absolutely love printed wallets and clutches, they don’t really match with anything which adds the element of unpredictability to any outfit. These are a few of my favorites…
