Weathering Winter in Style {Guest Post}


Comfort and fashion should always go hand in hand. In fact, the top secret among designers and stylists for the stars is that people who feel comfortable and confident also look good. In chilly months, women need to keep in mind that warm clothing is key to looking their best. Fortunately, this season brings great cozy, chic apparel and shoes that will look great on any woman.



Textured fabrics, bold colors and large patterns come together this season to bring the world the best hot-off-the-runway looks. The popular layered look brings these elements together in daring outfits that crave the limelight while wrapping the wearer in luxurious, cozy warmth. Keep the color palette bold, and feel free to experiment by mixing and matching patterns. It's time to layer on the unique looks.



One of the top fabric picks of the season is popular quilted fabric. Available in the season’s boldest solid colors, quilted jackets and miniskirts add texture and charm for a vogue yet cozy look. Pair a quilted jacket with a patterned maxi skirt and stacked heels for a hot look sure to keep you warm on a winter’s day. Show off your curves by choosing a quilted miniskirt to pair with a simple turtleneck, sweater tights and knee-high boots. Keep in mind that with quilted fabric, a little goes a long way, so pick only one quilted piece to wear at a time.
