German style blogger Livia Auder's casual cool style caught our eye on Instagram (@livia_auer). There are camel coats, and leather and lace, plaids and animal prints and many hats (not an easy look to pull off). But most of all, the perfect recipe for looking chic in winter weather and pretty lacy tops and little white dresses to bring you back to spring again...

New York Fashion Week 2019: Our NYC Editor’s Favourite Shows

New York Fashion Week came and went with little fanfare. This time around, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm for the affair. Vanessa Friedman, the Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic for The New York Times expressed a similar sentiment in the article, “Marc Jacobs and the Ghosts of Fashion Past and Future.” The article suggests a somber tone during fashion week. Friedman points out that it seemed to suffer from an identity crisis partially as a result from the loss of influence that New York designers once had over the fashion world.

Current Trend: Gucci Barrettes & Other Hair Accessories

Old-school hair accessories have really been making a comeback. Scrunchies, hairbands, clips, barrettes and slides have been seen on fashionistas and Instagrammers everywhere, but none so ubiquitous as the Gucci barrettes and hair slides. Made of crystal-embellished tortoiseshell resin emblazoned with the brand's name, it's encrusted with crystals and mini gold studs and perfectly dresses up an everyday look. The brand also makes an alternative barrette encrusted with the word "Amour" (shop here). Apart from Gucci, there are also other styles to choose from as well, including pearl clips and gold-plated hairpins...
