Tis' the season to look dashing, fa la la la la, la la la la !
Don we now our highest fashion, fa la la la la, la la la la. 

I scoured the pages of Vogue to find the winter fashion trends and selected my 10 favorites for seasonal gatherings. These trends are easy to look great in and if you are like me, you would rather make these statement pieces rather than just buy them online!

Oversized Handbag
(But I also love the velvet leggings with the men's jacket!
Make them with the velour on our website)
Winter Florals and Power Purple

Pants in Colors and Patterns

So let’s jump in! I recently had surgery on my neck due to issues with my parathyroid glands. All went to plan and I’m doing well, but I have to admit, the scar was a bit larger and more prominent than I expected.
