A/W Trend Guide: Velvet

One of the biggest trends for the cool weather season this year is velvet. Not only is it warm, it’s also incredibly luxe. Adding a few simple accessories or one statement piece (like a blazer) turns a simplistic outfit into a street style worthy ensemble in seconds. Basic black is always a good option, but deep jewel tones and pretty blush shades are some of the must have colors for the season. Think - royal blue ankle boot or a blush pink clutch!”- Faith

What I Wore: Washingtonian Top Doc Party

Congratulations to Aneesh for being named a Top Doctor by Washingtonian magazine! This is the second year Aneesh is being recognized for his excellence as a practicing physician here in the DC area. It was a fun evening celebrating last night at City Center DC and I got to see so many of Aneesh's colleagues and friends who were also being recognized for their dedication to the well being  and health of patients. 

I decided to keep my look simple and elegant and wore a little black dress with gold pumps.  This spot sleeve mini dress by Karen Millen was the perfect dress for the occasion and the spot-mesh sleeves and v-shaped scoop in the front and back elevated this classic LBD. And best of all this dress was super comfortable to wear!

Fall/Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Key Pieces

Happy Monday! This past weekend I worked with a wonderful new client, a special education teacher, who is in her late 20's. Her main wardrobe goals were to fill in the gaps with the key pieces missing from her wardrobe, learn how to update her outfits, and learn how to incorporate trends into her look. Also her biggest fashion fear was not having anything to wear. So for our styling session one of the things we did was to identify her "wish list" or items that are missing from her wardrobe. By filling in the gaps my client will have a more complete wardrobe for fall/winter. And having these foundational pieces will allow her to have the confidence to create outfits and get dressed faster so she can focus on what really matters to her.  My client's wish list included tall boots, a moto jacket, silk layering tanks, and accessories like scarves and necklaces...to name a few. 

So today I am sharing some of the key pieces that I recommended to my client- these are key pieces every woman should have in her wardrobe for the fall/winter season. And while this list is not inclusive it is a great place to start. 

Head over to CAPSULE to check out these products and more and if you're interested in starting your own capsule be sure to check out my recent post on CAPSULE FAQ's.
