A jean jacket paired with jeans is called a “Canadian Tuxedo.” I learned this when I moved to the U.S. from my native Canada. Up until that point, I never knew that the term existed.
I am always cold. I get chilled even here in Los Angeles, which is a bit odd since I grew up in one of the coldest places in North America, Winnipeg. That is why, when I saw this long sleeved black dress on sale at Saks, I immediately grabbed it and headed directly for the dressing room.
If there is a decade that I am drawn to, it is the ’70s. I was a teenager during the ’70s and so the music, fashion, and culture are both familiar and comforting to me.
I love to wear the color cream. I love the freshness and simplicity of it. However, it beckons to be joined by a little color, and to me, there is nothing better than a good old fashioned brown with cream.
When Alexander McQueen passed away suddenly in 2010, the fashion world lost an icon. His designs were bold, daring, and easily identifiable. Whether flowy or structured, his clothes shouted themselves from the rooftops.
The Los Angeles weather has taken a wintry turn and I, for one, am kicking up my fashion heels. It is a rare winter here in Southern California that we actually get to wear cold-weather clothes, especially outerwear.
