Stop'n'Style: Winter Accessories

Cute Winter Accessories

As sad as it is, winter is around the corner. It's time to put away the leather jacket and suede boots, and bring out the parka and heavy duty winter booties. The cold, blistering weather shouldn't get you down. With the right winter gear, you will be prepared for any frosty temperature.

Here are a couple of ways to stay warm while looking cute!

(1. Burberry, $125; 2. Anthropologie, $26.50; 3. Tory Burch, $95; 4. Dents, $145; 5. Rose' A Pois, $98; 6. TopShop, $25)

Don't these accessories make winter more fun? Stay warm!

BeautyBabe: Philosophy

Philosophy Products

"Adored by celebrities, dermatologists and, most importantly, their customers, Philosophy inspires you to live a better life by being better to yourself." Philosophy has so many great products from makeup to fragrances to skin care to bath and body. Their products are sold at Sephora or the Philosophy website. Some of my favorite products are:





1. These shower gels leaving a lasting impression on your skin. The set, "The Birthday Party" includes strawberry ice cream, chocolate frosting, and vanilla birthday cake. They are so delicious! For all 3 bottles, it is $30.









2. Taking off makeup at the end of the day is not always
a fun activity. just release me, an eye makeup remover makes
it easy to take off mascara, eye shadow, or eye liner. It is not
oily, and will always leave your skin feeling soft! just release me costs $18 for a 16 ounce bottle, but is definitely worth it.








3. Perfect timing for Halloween, Philosophy recently released an ultimate all-in-one. i love candy corn is shampoo, shower gel, and even bubble bath. Although it is $16 for a 16 ounce bottle, the scent is tasty and will leave you feeling like a halloween treat!

StacieBlair's MUST HAVES: Bows

Bow Necklace

Now that I am back at school in London (Canada, not UK), I spent some time shopping down Richmond Street, in the downtown area with quaint shops and restaurants. I went to Leslie's, a trendy store, and after browsing the clothing, I found an adorable necklace. It had a gold chain with a medium-sized bow. It resembled the necklace below, which is in Rachel Leigh's collection and is $76 (http://www.rachelleigh.com).



Personally, I love adding a feminine touch to my outfits. A bow pendent necklace is perfect to dress up any simple outfit while bringing out your girly side.

Here are some necklaces in different price ranges:


Juicy Couture, $58



Marc by Marc Jacobs, $198




Tiffany & Co, $350

Stop'n'Style: NYC

NYC's Fashion Night Out

One of the biggest shopping events of the year, is around the corner and I will be in London, Ontario stuck in class.

On Thursday, September 10th, hundreds of retailers around the world will be open late for Fashion Night Out. This is a global initiative, and will take place in NYC, London, Italy, France, China, Russia, and Taiwan. Unfortunately no Canadian city is on that list. That is a shame because retailers definitely would have benefited from my Visa.

The CFDA, Vogue, the City of New York and NYC & Co. have put this event together. As Anna Wintour told WWD "Over 300 stores citywide have signed on thus far, but I really want to urge everyone who hasn't done so already to come on board." New York retailers have invited the public to meet designers, celebrities, DJs and sip on cocktails while shopping.

I'm pretty upset that I will not be in NYC, but I will live vicariously through my friends who are in the city. I encourage all shopaholics and socialites to go out on the 10th to take advantage of this great event!
