'Tis The Season To Be Fluffy

Winter is all about fluff. Snow tumbles on the ground only to transform into a bundle of white fluff that children make snowballs out of and throw at innocent passerby. As Buble would say, "It's a marshmallow world in the winter" and frankly, that sounds delicious. So, baby, it may be cold outside, but at least we can rely on fluff to keep us warm and cozy and compliment our Starbucks cup. This season, there is nothing more glamorous than some extra texture and for those who are not big on fur coats, it's time to take a look at some other alternatives. 

Here are ten fluffy pieces that I ADORE in the winter time. Take a look and get inspired.

The Fluffy Jacket
For those who are accustomed to wearing fluff, the fluffy jacket is an excellent style choice that will keep you feeling fashionable and warm simultaneously. It adds instant chic to your look and will make you want to keep that coat on no matter where you go.

The Fluffy Scarf
Not ready to commit to a coat? No matter. The fluffy scarf is a small accent  that will keep you feeling snug without the extra weight of a jacket. It can be subtle or bold, but make sure it's true to you.

The Fluffy Vest
A fluffy vest is yet another alternative to the fluffy jacket. You may not be ready for all that fluff and I completely understand. This way, you can ease into it with a sleeveless variation of your typical jacket.

The Fluffy Handbag
This year, fluff has been transferred to our handbags and we have Karl Lagerfeld to thank for that one. You may not want to WEAR the fluffy, but you can always carry it on your shoulder.

The Fluffy Sweater
This look is an easy fluffy go-to. Not sure what to wear? A fluffy sweater is ALWAYS the answer at this time of year.

The Fluffy Skirt
While this may seem bizarre to the average onlooker, the fluffy skirt is definitely a fashion statement. It defies expectations and when done right, it can look super cute with just about any slim fitted sweater.

The Fluffy Hat
Nobody does a fluffy hat quite like a Russian fashion editor. Mira Duma reminds us that a fluffy hat can be chic without looking like over (read:road) kill.

The Fluffy Muffs
It rhymes, therefore it is. Didn't some philosopher say that? Muffs are a great alternative to the hat. Breezy day? This invention is your chic solution.

The Fluffy Shoe
No, this is NOT meant to be practical or keep you warm. However, it's whimsical and that in itself is a reason to try it.

Fluffy Mittens
Who needs fingers? If you want to avoid frostbitten hands, do as the fashionistas do and wear fluffy mitts. They may seem silly now, but just wait until you slip them on. Toasty.

I hope you'll feel inclined to try one of these fluffy options this winter. Nothing beats the cold quite like a fluffy fashionista.

XOXO,

Why Basic T-Shirts Are Underrated

Hello Darlings,

I've fallen deeply and passionately in love with the t-shirt. We met when I was just a young girl and at the time, I didn't notice its value. I merely wore it because I didn't know what else to wear. As I grew older, I got sick of the basic t-shirt and decided to opt for the prettier blouse. It was much more appealing to a more mature me that had grown out of simple basics that reminded me of nights at the movies as a pre-teen. After a while, I noticed that the blouse lacked what the t-shirt had: comfort. As I've become an adult, my feelings for the t-shirt have resurfaced and while I continue to inspire myself with extravagant fashions, I still remain loyal to my trusty tee. 

Here are ten ways to wear the basic t-shirt that will make you fall in love just as I have.

Number 10
With a pencil skirt
For the chic fashion girl working at Vogue.

Number 9
With a blazer
For the sophisticated chick headed to a job interview.

Number 8
With cutoffs
For the festival goer.
via inspirechictopia.tumblr.com
Number 7
With skinny jeans
For the relaxed girl.
via mutefashion.com
Number 6
With a maxi skirt
For the feminine princess.
via fashion.allwomenstalk.com
Number 5
As a dress
For the daring diva.
via devonrachel.com
Number 4
With a midi skirt
For the edgy lady.

Number 3
With a vest
For the trendsetter.
via WhoWhatWear
Number 2
With overalls
For the country girl.

Number 1
With a plaid shirt
For the 90s girl.

And that, my friends, is why the person who invented the basic t-shirt was a genius. All hail.

The Vest: A Blazer, Only Cooler

Now that Fall Fashion Month has come to an end, it's time to get back to reality and realize that those days are far into the future (7 months away). Spring is slowly approaching like it's slugging behind a turtle, but alas, in a few months, it will arrive. Essentially, this means that this is the time to shop and replenish that spring wardrobe. With the scent of daffodils and rustling grass whispering their song, let's contemplate one of the loveliest spring trends: the Vest.

If you weren't aware, fashion loves to transgress and manipulate boundaries of femininity. Androgyny is always trending inspiring powerful ladies everywhere to explore how this tastes. Once upon a time, men wore vests under their tuxedos. Today, women are combining vests with maxi skirts and skinny pants. It's the blazer's hotter older brother and we want in. Who needs sleeves anyway when we've got muscular arms from lifting 2 pounders at the gym?

Here are the various ways this trend was exhibited during Spring Fashion Week:

Jason Wu Spring 2014
The Tux Jumpsuit

Richard Nicoll Spring 2014
Stripes

Just Cavalli Spring 2014
Pastel Pink

Alexis Mabille Spring 2014
Military Chic

Helmut Lang Spring 2014
White Minimalist

Victoria Beckham Spring 2014
Masculine

3.1 Phillip Lim
Oversized

Rebecca Taylor Spring 2014
White Leather

Isabel Marant Fall 2014
Eyelet

Saint Laurent Paris Spring 2014
Black Leather

How will YOU be wearing this trend?

Vest Up!
