My Style: Winter Wonderland

Today's Look:  channels the childhood character Little Red Riding Hood with a modern twist.   Consisting of mountains covered in pine trees, northern Arizona becomes truly beautiful under a blanket of snow.  Yes, the temperature is freezing, but the scenery is breathtaking.  Inspired by the dark, snow covered woods, I first chose a flowing, long-sleeved maroon top, tan and black, aztec-design leggings, and black combat boots.  Next, I chose a black with white skulls and crowns scarf to add contrast, as well as edge (we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood wasn't a bright and happy one).  Next, I chose the shearling coat for warmth and irony (normally shearling coats are made out of sheepskin, which pays tribute to the wolf in the story).  Finishing off the look, I wore dark lipstick for dramatic effect, dangling skull earrings to match the scarf, and two rings for good measure.

Fashion Tip:  Shearling coats are not only warm, but they're also trendy.  Great for making a winter outfit fashionable.

My Style: Let it Snow

Today's Look:  celebrates the first snow of the season and excitement of the holidays.  The wind was chilly and the air was crisp, so I wanted to bundle up, but not totally Eskimo-style.  First, I chose the army green, bomber jacket.  The material is soft yet thick, meaning the wind doesn't slice right through it. Next, I chose the black, felt-insulated jeggings and brown, lace-up boots.  Since the jacket isn't tight, I wanted the pants to be slimming and warm.  I liked the boots because brown with green is a classic combination, and the boots are a nice faux-leather which helps them be durable in the snow.  To match the brown boots, I chose a brown backpack.  Finishing off the look, I wore an army green, knit beanie, off-white scarf, sparkly green/tarnished gold earrings, and two rings.

Fashion Tip:  Items, such as beanies, jackets, jeans, boots. scarves, etc., in army green are stealing the scene this winter.  The trend is a MAJOR must this season.
