4 Core Fashion Finds

This month's four core Fashion Finds are simply based around everyday separates for the wardrobe. From symbolic jewellery to great everyday classics like a great, broken-in leather jacket, basic cotton tops, and of course, a snug pair of jeans. These are all stylish pieces that help make you feel good, comfortable, and confident on any given day.

Basic shirts:  Extra soft cotton long sleeve tops are of course a staple in everyone’s wardrobe, but 39 Sixty One is a diffusion line from Graham and Spencer.  They have altered these basic tops with a thicker neck line, or added a dolman sleeve and  are super comfortable to wear, and of course stylish at the same time. Buy 39 Sixty One, prices range from $56 for a long sleeve shirt, available at Boudoir in Yaletown www.myboudoir.ca.

Jeans: There is not one piece of clothing in history that I think represents comfortable, feel-good clothing than a great pair of jeans. Now more than ever our wardrobes are bursting with dfferent styles, cuts, washes of all sorts that make these slacks an everyday classic in the wardrobe. With a new line of denim out this fall, Kersh Blue says these jeans are “tailored to tempt.” From $120, they are available nationwide at the Bay. For more information and store location visit www.kersh.ca.

Biker jacket: Leather jackets are making a comeback for fall with leathers softer than ever that make for a smoother feel, rather than a tough jacket. Graham and Spencer’s crossover biker jacket is a take on the classic but with no fussy zippers and buckles to fiddle around with, making for a light and more feminine feel. Buy Graham & Spencer $895, available at Edun Fashion Boutique (604) 685 1737.

Symbolic jewellery: A fashionable accessory that has meaning and style. The Sonja Picard collection has beautiful unique pieces that you can inscribe with mantras or sacred symbols to suit your personality or way of thinking.  These sapphire stack rings are made with your choice of gold (white, green, yellow, or rose) coloured sapphire, as well as a Lord or Goddess inscription. Stack as many as you like or wear one with a certain meaning to suit your style. $650 for her gold and sapphire rings, or from $150 for the Nagakanya ring collection available at M-smart design www.m-smartdesign.com or www.sonjapicard.com for more information.
