   Fall is Here A warm fashionable coat is a must for the upcoming wintery season. Meghan Markle recently wore a stunning herringbone coat to the One805 Fundraiser in Santa Barbara signaling fall has arrived. A houndstooth coat is like a herringbone coat though the pattern is a slightly different.  I found this beautiful houndstooth coat online.  Ironically, it is from the British brand Barbour which I personally love.  I own two Barbour coats and the quality is sublime.  This Barbour Houndstooth piece fits the fall bill and is elegant.  Imagine wearing a black turtleneck, black jeans or fitted pants with tapered legs, boots, and gold hoops for a show stopping display.  The wind will howl, gold, yellow, and red leaves swirl as you waltz through the day.  Fall is glorious and the festivities are about to commence.  Houndstooth Trivia  The distinctive hounds tooth pattern originates from Scotland and has been around from 360 AD and ...

  The Chilly Artic "Good clothing is a passport to happiness." Yves Saint Laurent Yves St. Laurent Fashion Exhibit - Seattle Art Museum (2016) The winter of 2021 has been brutally cold across the country.  One for the ages. With snowstorms, bitter winds and ice, the frigid temperatures have seeped into everyone's bones.  Even places slated to be warm in February tend to be on the cooler side of the temperature gage.  Though, I must note that temps are slowly getting warmer in the sun infused states.  Beyond the weather, nerves remain flared as people struggle to get the vaccine, keep safe and bundled up all in one sweep.  The stress is at an all-time high.  It seems to me; we need to sit back and figure out how to be helpful to one another.  To be positive and appreciative for family and friends during these trying moments. We are closer to having everyone vaccinated and getting back to a semi-normal life.  In the meantime, we must be patient...

Holidays, Winter, Storms are Here Bundle Up Precious! The winter chill has once again swept the land except for a few sun and heat blessed spots.  We are pulling out our favorite puffy coats to guard against the frigid temperatures.  I have quite a few favorites that are worn throughout the season for different occasions.  My ultimate favorite, Burberry, was purchased around ten years ago and still is my go too coat.   The warmth and fit is ideal and flattering. The investment was well worth it.  My other beloved coats are worn too depending on the weather and what I am doing.  All and all, they are a must. What made me think of the puffy coat was not just because of the cold. No, I wasn't imaging a puffer fish either since some silhouettes are just too outlandishly big. When, I envision a puffer coat,  I prefer a more fitted look that flatters.   Rather recently, I learned about "memory quilts" from a chic lit n...

       The luxurious and colorful wool coat is imperative during the cold months of autumn and winter.  Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge , adorned in beautiful cloaks in soft fabrics dripping in color makes a royal statement when in the public eye. After all, grey days, rain, wind and snow keeps one wanting something exceptionally elegant and warm against the elements.   These luxurious coats can be worn to the theatre, holiday parties, to work or for daily errands.  Either way, a Forever Chic Style maven will be delightfully vibrant, display upscale respect and will be striking amongst the throngs of humanity.  kate spade new York 'eryn' wool coat - Nordstrom - $698  Caruana Loro Piana Wool Coat with Genuine Fox Fur - Nordstrom - $1,750 Trina Turk Belted Wrap Coat - Nordstrom - $545       Fleurette Long Wood Golden-Button Coat - Neiman Marcus - $995 Sale $74...
