Style

n the 1980s, Donna Karan, pioneer of the off the shoulder top, pointed out that the shoulder is the one part of the woman’s body that never ages. How right she was. Her shoulder-baring pieces became her signature.

I have always been partial to Missoni. The signature knits with geometric designs appeal to me.

Whenever I go for a visit to my home town of Winnipeg, I never miss an oppoutunity to get a blow-dry at my favoirte salon: Edward Carriere. As a salon-boutique hybrid, the salon also offers a perfectly curated selection of clothes, jewelry, and accessories.

Who doesn’t love the look of a long dress? I, for one, am a huge fan for a couple of reasons. If my legs need a bit of coverage either for warmth or lack of color, a long dress is my go-to.

Who doesn’t like the look of a long skirt? Whether you are going to a formal affair or just feel like giving it a twirl, it is one item that all of us could use in our closets. With a fabric as elegeant as this one by Maje, how could one resist?

I love shoes. There, I said it. It comes as no surprise to those who know me, and if you read my blog, you can see that I cherish these accessories and collect them.

I know what you’re thinking… this is an awfully short skort. Yes, it is, but I love the asymmetrical overlay and the big silver buckle.

My first recollection of the label “Lanvin,” was my mother’s bottle of Arpege perfume that she kept on her vanity. It was a sweet and spicy fragrance that she would spray on daily. The aroma wafted through the air and settled in my senses so that I always associated it with her.

Who doesn’t love an a-line skirt? It is easy to wear, flattering, and comfortable. This denim one is from See by Chloe, which is a drop down the line of its parent company: Chloe.
