Thanks to Calypso.
Casual cool is Calypso’s tried and true formula, and this look is no exception. Basic jeans and sneakers get girly/grunge treatment with a modest, mellow tunic dressed up just enough with a patterned scarf and knit cap, while the jeans and canvas high tops work together for that perfect baggy bunch at the ankle. An outfit to mix seamlessly with that snowboarding or surfing gear, this look is effortless and outgoing.

The holiday season is officially upon us, commencing with none other than our beloved Thanksgiving meal. This historic feast represents the love and appreciation we have for our families, our relationship to the nation we live in, and how much we enjoy getting together to eat delicious food. But let’s be real. Thanksgiving, amongst all its wonderful heartfelt associations, really means the dawn of holiday season dressing. When the office parties start and Church gatherings multiply over night, not only will you need more options, you will need festive, appropriate, beautiful outfits.
Before panic sets in, take a deep breath and start at the beginning….

Fall yields bountiful celebrations with thankful color palettes for your closet. Dark browns, pumpkin and a darkening apple hue produce the cream of the crop.

Featuring the Dolce Vita Faux Fur Jacket at Shopbop.com
Friend or faux, there’s a fur for everyone. Shown as a full on look or as a strong accent on winter weather staples, there’s a style of fur to satisfy any desire for luxury. Bundle up in fur trimmed boots and mittens, or opt for a classic parka with a fur trimmed hood. If the outdoors doesn’t beckon you can still take part, the soft touch of a fur clutch will stave off those winter blues.

The perfect balance of demure and daring comes in this ensemble from Milly NY. A classic combination of a knee-length skirt and tuxedo style blouse gets a healthy dose of trend with patriotic hued ruffles and leopard print tights. Conservative in all the right ways, this look will take you from the office to a Sunday meeting to a business dinner with style and grace.

“Clothes and jewelry should be startling; individual”
-Alexander McQueen
We all have the ability transform our look any way we choose. Individuality is the key to wearing a great accessory, because, at the end of the day the beauty of an accessory is that you wear it, it doesn’t wear you…

This modest look from Lauren Moffatt doesn’t take the blouse to seriously and seasonal accessorizing is warm & cozy. A great fitting pant with a pair of heels keeps it city chic while a bow detail adds whimsy with feminine charm.
