Sporting a leather bomber jacket

Wartime often has been heralded as strong periods of American style, yet, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq seem to be barely a blip on the radar of the fashion community.

Bold Belts …

Dressing up your outfit with a bright bold belt is one of the easiest ways to update your look.

Show your dangerous side wearing a belt with an animal pattern or a belt made of faux exotic skin!

Who said a belt should be made of leather or fabric? Try a more daring version of a belt with a soft dress, the contrast between the two will play up your whole outfit. See how much more floating the silk in the pictures is? It’s all about contrast …

Winter Shoes and Boots

This winter, ankle high booties are hot, hot and hot! Also seen in the runway and fashion magazines are knee high boots, laced-up boots and cut-out shoes. Walk the walk in Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo’s gorgeous shoes with fringes and tassels. What a way to say Happy Holidays!

Coats

Invest in a good coat that you will look good in… If you have a chance to buy a designer piece, go for it! A good Italian or French wool coat will last you 3 years minimum and you’ll be seen wearing it most of the time! In terms of colors, black, brown and gray are the traditional hues for winter coats and you will see these colors on most women, but if you truly want to stand out from the winter crowd, a little attitude won’t hurt.

Venture in bright plaids, animal prints, pinks, reds, or go all white (or beige) for a fabulous winter look that will pop.

Winter style
