Let's get cozy

All I've seen over any social media network lately is "sweater weather". It's only fitting that I do at least one post solely on sweaters and why we love them.

Any plain knit sweater can be accessorized with any kind of neaklace to add any kind of feel to an outfit. Sweaters and any kind of jewellery, for me go hand in hand to make my outfits shine. It seems like more or less the theme this season for sweaters are more neutral colours with gold accessories.

Grandpa sweaters are a winter classic. It's comfy, kinda tacky but also very cute. They're usually a bit more on the baggy side. For your lonely nights you can just cuddle up by the fire with your sweater, a good book and a hot chocolate!

There are also more sophisticated, form-fitting sweaters. They go well overtop of a denim buttun up or overtop of a nice skirt or dress.

Whatever your preference, zip ups or cozy knits, sweaters are a chilly season favourite for everyone.

Demin for days

Something that's always been around, but that's making a serious comeback is denim.

Denim jackets, fitted ones can look good with a dress, or loose ones can look good with a t-shirt and leggings. Boys denim jackets are good for the fall and go well with a sweater underneath for added warmth!

Ripped jeans are good for a rugged look or dark wash jeans for a polished look. Jeggings, in my opinion, are way more comfortable than regular jeans. Baggier jeans are finally coming back in style (thank God I hated having to wriggle into my pants). That's also a positive for boys. Skin tight jeans should belong on nobody (they're just not comfy), but maybe that's just me.

Demin button ups are also in style for men and women. Ladies you can even put a comfy sweater overtop! (Gotta love layering)

But really. The new big thing is denim on denim. A fashion faux pas for many years before is finally making a comeback. Just be careful and make sure you do two different colours of denim...or else it could look weird.

Black is the new....black?

Let's be honest, black is always a fall back colour especially in the colder weather.

Black leather is always trendy (if you can't afford leather you can always go for pleather!). From jackets (boys and girls) to pants to sleeves, black leather is always safe. Another great option is combat boots!

Every girl needs a LBD (little black dress) that you can wear on special occasions with some bling bling or just to wear out to coffee.

Leggings are a girls best friend. They're comfy and literally go with everything. My personal favourite pair of leggings are the shiny ones from American Apparel. The male equivalent to leggings would have to be black jeans. They can be used in a sleek looking outfit or even a lazy day outfit.

My go-to nail polish colour would have to be black. It goes with every single colour you wear and it looks polished and sleek finish.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Unfortunately (depending on your weather preferences) the cold weather is coming in. This means time for some winter jackets. scarves and big comfy sweaters. Basically it's time to bundle up and why not look good while doing so?
Like I've said before, oversize everything. From your coats to your sweaters. Long jackets with faux fur on the hood are always a cute way to stay warm, and it seems with every year they're getting longer and longer.

Layering is another way to stay warm, for guys and gals. Layer a button up with a nice sweater over top and maybe even a knit scarf.

Faux fur is a trend that I personally am not so keen on, but it can look cute if worked properly. Vests can always keep you warm and help put that edge into an outfit. Maybe just don't go for a full, huge jacket.

Blanket scarves are definitely something I'm going to look into this winter. It seems like over-sized clothes will live on through the winter, that's okay though, looking good and being comfy, what's better than that?

#DIESELREBOOT

While skimming through the fall edition of Vogue I found an ad for Diesel that really stood out to me called DEISELREBOOT so I decided to investigate further.
The reason this article stood out to me was because usually when you look through a fashion magazine all of the models start to look the same. Very thin white women with "striking" features. What really struck me was when I turned the page and saw a bigger girl with tattoos, piercings and pink hair, then I turned to page and saw an Asian woman. Diversity was the first word that came to mind. I would have never imagined seeing this in a magazine like Vogue  where they feature brands like Chanel, Prada and Burberry. I thought it was such a great idea for them to put it in. I know I feel a little insecure while looking at all of these perfectly photo shopped models in the ads, yet seeing someone who looked average, like someone you could see on the street almost gave me some hope that maybe our ideals of beauty can be changed. I mean although this girl may not be societies ideal of beautiful, I thought she was. Nice job Diesel!
