The More The Merrier

While I have lived in Canada my entire life, every winter you'd swear that I was just coming to this country from some gorgeously exotic country where the weather is always that of dry hot summer days and sunny afternoons. Translation: I am a wimp when it comes to the cold winter months. The only thing really that gets me through is the fact that I know spring is the following season. Well, that and layering. 

 

 

Layering your clothing in winter is essential, in my humble fashion blogging opinion, not only for reason of fashion but for the sake of preventing hypothermia. When it comes to my own layering of clothing the more the merrier. Case in point, I have literally taken on the habit of wrapping myself in two scarves and stealing my younger brothers socks (p.s. why is it man socks are always better than our own?). 

Keep in mind, however, when you pile on the layers you can quickly look like the Michelin Man. So make sure you start off with your thinnest pieces on first followed by a warm oversized knit for example. Also, one of my greatest finds this winter is the infinity scarf. Michael Kors favoured this accessory in his FW2010 collection, sending his gorgeous models down the runway with oversized knit scarves in classic black, camel and grey hues. Needless to say, this scarf has been a lifesaver (and frostbite preventer) and urge all you fashion girls to go out and nab one for yourselves!

Colour Me Wonderful

If there is one thing to take away from the Spring 2011 runways, it's that this season will be very bright. Which, in all honesty, is something to look forward to considering this ridiculously dreary and sub-zero weather we have been having. And while infusing your wardrobe with highlighter brights may seem intimidating the best way to incorporate colour is by mixing it with your wardrobe basics. 

Since I have no intention on waiting for the temperature to increase (because at this point the end of this frigid winter does not seem near) this fashion girl is bringing brights into her winter wardrobe. Taking a cue from Harper's Bazaar Editor, Joanna Hillman, pops of colour in the form of a turquoise blazer or candy apple red lips, I think it's best if we all bring bright accessories into this crazy cold Canadian weather.

Gift Guide

For me, my mother is always the first person I shop for. What I love about my mom, is that even though she says she never wants anything, she somehow (not so) subtly drops hints regarding her favourite things. As mothers are those who are always there when it seems the world is against us, the title of "Mama Bear" only seems fitting. So what do you get a woman who is in essence your greatest friend and biggest advocate? Well, to spark some ideas, I've put together a selection of gifts which are sure to make your Mama Bear very proud of cub.
