In response to last week’s post on west coast style, I’ve scoured the racks to find pieces that fit the aesthetic of the east coast girl. While west coasters thrive on undone glamour, our eastern counterparts are heavy on crisp classics. Looks are slightly more tailored, and put together – take a cue from style maven Olivia Palermo who never seems to get it wrong (don’t miss her video for the Outnet here.) While she exudes easy style, not unlike California girls Nicole Richie or Kate Bosworth, she focuses on timeless essentials like Breton striped blouses, tailored trenches, A-line skirts and stiletto pumps. Easterners always seem to have a more cosmopolitan air about them compared to west coast girls, a more structured look, and it shows head-to-toe.

Splashes of Victorian style have been making a comeback in every realm of the fashion world; from ornate jewellery, to lace boots and high necked dresses. Girly, dainty, and covered, it’s not necessarily the easiest trend to wear. The key is to pair the trend with modern pieces so you don’t look like an extra from the set of a period-drama. For example, pair a ruffled Victorian blouse with a pair of bleach dyed cutoffs and Lita boots. Use a classic stylist’s trick – the messy one pocket tuck – to achieve an even greater balance between old and new. For dresses, accessorizes with statement pieces like fedoras or belts to take away from the stuffy feeling of a floor length, high-necked dress. Victorian-inspired jewellery is a great way to inspire a refined feel to any outfit; pearls and tarnished silver are staples of this beloved trend.

Transitional dressing between seasons can be dismal, especially post-holidays, so I was delighted when I came across See by Chloé’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection for mid-season fashion inspiration. In its third season, the contemporary womenswear label featured a more effervescent approach to its usual bohemian aesthete, through the use of metallic sheen. The result? A collection that felt simultaneously retro and modern, where quilted metallic bomber jackets and silver ankle boots stand up against sixties inspired maxi dresses, slouchy pant-suits and silk chiffon frocks.
Paris’ diffusion label wasn’t the only brand to recently showcase metallic. Holographic hues and iridescent embellishments showed up on various resort shows, and most notably, Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 13 RTW collection. To invoke instant insouciant cool-girl chic a la Stella and Chloé, opt for small pops of sparkle, and the trend will speak for itself.

Undoubtedly, Valentine’s Day is the most anticipated time of the year for most love struck couples, refueling that deep connection. The romantic day devoted to your one and only adds unwelcomed stress and can be quite daunting for any couple, no matter how long you two have been hitched. For those of us who find it impractical and stake out each Valentine’s Day despite having a reason to celebrate, remember the wise words of Christopher Marlowe, a true poetic visionary from the 50s, “Money can’t buy love, but it improves your bargaining position.”
Whether you have left it to the last minute for another year (ahem, boys!), or have struggled for weeks coming up with ideas of your own and have resented the idea of asking her friends, (or even worse, her mother), then you’ve landed among the Valentine’s Day Gods and straight into Cupid’s arms. Here are some quality gifts that will display your immense love for one another, and don’t fall under the “typical” cheesy gift guide category. Classified as the perfect princess, or subtle sweetie, these gifts are destined to please all.
1. Valentino Rockstud Patent Leather Point Toe, $595, available at Holt Renfrew
2. Alexander McQueen Wrist Scarf, $325, available at Holt Renfrew
3. Monserat De Lucca Rose Bracelet, $74, available at Shopbop
4. Banana Republic Anchors Aweigh Necklace, $80
5. Louis Vuitton Small Ring Agenda Cover, $455

Picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies… This season’s fascination with kaleidoscopic prints recalls the Beatles’ 1967 chart-topper, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, riffing on elements of perspective and tantalizing the eye. Marc Jacobs and Miuccia Prada both conjured this look on Fall 2012 runways and added a finishing element of holographic appliques for a modern take on the decade. Variegated prints pack a punch, offering a blend of whimsical Bohemia and prismatic futurism. Try pieces with opalescent embellishments, like the gems on Anthropologie’s beaded clutch, as these details elevate the Sixties inspired aesthetic, for a novel approach to the frequently revisited era.

It’s always a joy at this time of the year to give to those in need and the ones we love the most. Nonetheless, as I get older, I find myself caring a little less each year about the endless materialistic side associated to the holiday and more about doing something good through volunteering or donating to a charity on behalf of my niece and nephew to teach them the value of giving back. This year my mom and I decided to forgo gift giving to one another and donate our time nearby instead to the charity Ancient Order of Doers Anonymous. There are several other charities in need out there for you to choose from if you feel inclined to help out those in need of a warm meal or a child who would love a teddy bear to snuggle up with at night, but in the meantime if you are feeling extra generous and have a little more to give this year, who better to spoil, on top of all your generous volunteering, than the mother you love most with some treats of her own!
You don’t have to spend a fortune, because let’s face it, your time is the most precious gift you can give to your loved ones, but I’ve rounded up my top 10 places to find those splendid splurges for Mom this Christmas! From jewelry with a special meaning to iconic fashion history, you’ll be checking off that list in no time and come out on top with good Karma for all your added do-good-giving in the New Year!

2. Michael Kors Chain-Link Padlock Bracelet, $115
3. Olive + Piper Holiday Collection ‘Kate’ Chained Earrings, $20
