Fashion Trends
These days, we'll dress up for pretty much any occasion. We love nothing more than putting on our best looks for (possibly) a mediocre endeavour. But you know what they say, dress your best in case you run into your ex 💁♀️ So, we've rounded up the top 4 trendy pieces that you'll be seeing throughout fall and beyond.
Loafers:
You simply can not go wrong with a pair of black or burgundy loafers this season. This ‘90s-inspired shoe is the perfect way to elevate your fall and winter wardrobe, especially if they're chunky or lug!
Sweater Vests:
Canadians rejoice. Fall for us consists of cold breezy mornings and warm afternoons. Sweater vests are the perfect way to combine the transition from summer to fall, especially when paired with loose-fitted jeans. As temperatures continue to drop, you can layer your vests over button-downs or turtlenecks, too.
Tailored pants:
Everyone should invest in at least one pair of perfectly fitted, tailored pants. We've seen this timeless piece on the runway as well as in high-street fashion. It's safe to say we're taking this piece with us to fall and winter. Bonus points if you get them in faux leather!
Trench Coats:
Despite being an all-time classic, trench coats are getting some extra love lately and we're so here for it. This classic piece works particularly well with a pair of jeans or leggings and yet easily transitions to formal with a perfectly tailored dress. Talk about a one-and-done!
Skincare Trends
Since quarantine, there has been a continuous surge of self-care guides hitting the internet and frankly, we're not mad about it. We believe that everyone deserves access to methods or tools that help manage the daily stressors of life. Clearly, we're not alone and the idea of a de-stress skincare routine has officially become a "thing" within the beauty community.
De-stress skincare focuses on healing the inside in conjunction with the outside. This method includes the application of a face mask whenever you need a moment of self-care as opposed to waiting for your usual Sunday spa night. Or perhaps it's as simple as massaging your moisturizer into your skin for an extra minute or two to decompress. For some, visiting our friends at MD Beauty Clinic to get a Miracle 10 Facial Peel in the middle of the workday, does the trick. Whatever you can do to help de-stress for a moment - whether that's 5 minutes or 45 minutes, make it intentional for your internal and external well-being!
