One of the things that you might not know about me is that I enjoy learning metaphors and symbolisms, especially in colors. Why we are drawn to certain colors more than others? For instance; red is associated with intimacy, passion and rage because it takes our eyes longer to process the color than any other color. And in order to process the color our bodies use more hormones– the same amountt of hormones used during sex or rage. On the other hand blue is a color that is easy on the eyes, (most) everyone likes, and everyone looks good in.
One item that I still wear post in-office life is a tweed jacket. I love wearing tweed jackets with jeans, black pants, and over tailored dresses. It is a chic, timeless layering piece that will always be on trend. Whether you wear it polished or playful, it is a versatile must-have item for your wardrobe. Tweed Jackets bring a fashionable look to your workwear. Mixing simple black pants with a pattern or colored jacket will keep you looking professional while showing your stylish side.
Since it is apparently going to snow today, lets stay warm by dreaming about vacation. I would give anything to be on a beach right now, but when you work for yourself and live in NYC travel takes the back burner of your finances. For those of you lucky enough to be traveling to a paradise destination take me with you shopping for resort wear is for you. Even if you are not going to be sunbathing on the beach, it’s a great time to start adding items to your summer wardrobe.
If there is any indication of last week being in the low temps and this week’s wind, snow, and rain combination, it’s that this winter season is going to be a cold one. We are reaching that point of the season where warmth is more important than being fashionable– looking like that kid in A Christmas Story bundled up. But why should we look like the abominable snowman just because we are cold. We should be able to stay warm and look good. Luckily I have my faux fur coat from Apparis to keep me warm even during the coldest of days. It’s fashionable and warm… like really warm.
The only faux fur coats that I currently have are black and brown. I wanted to add something with color but not too bright. This blush was the perfect color to add to my wardrobe. Apparis is a New York City based faux fur company (with a french attitude) founded by Amélie Brick and Lauren Nouchi. With their background working in prominent fashion houses in NYC and Lauren growing up around the fashion environment in the South of France, the two joined forces to create a company that uses 100% vegan products with approachable prices. I have to say their faux fur coats are the softest, most comfortable coats I have ever worn. I adore my Sophie jacket and would love to add the Sarah Quilted faux fur jacket in either cloud or ivory. Brick and Nouchi created the perfect faux fur coat that will keep you warm throughout the winter season.
