The Selection: Mango craze

Love the jacket, pants and dress.
Jacket & dress available Dec 4. Pants: Slim-fit Suit Trousers 

Chain Trimmed Boucle Jacket. Beware, this one Kate Moss is sporting looks drastically different on the actual Mango models on mango.com. I do not like the one the Mango model is wearing... Makes me think it's not even the same jacket they're selling

Love the skirt, Metallic Brocade Mini-skirt

Cropped Boucle Jacket

Tulle Turtle-neck Jumper, Metal Beads Mini Skirt.

I don't know when Mango got so gorgeous but I'm loving it. The outfits here are from Mango's AW12 collection and the ones with Kate Moss look particularly gorgeous. Not a big fan of Karlie Kloss but even she looks good in these outfits. Here is my selection. You stay classy, Toronto.

Accessorising Class: Banana Republic Necklaces & Earrings

From top left: Pave Stud earring, Deco Black Button earrings, Byzantine Brooch necklace

You can do so much with that gold link necklace. Wear it with appropriate neutral-coloured tops (e.g. fitted black long sleeve) and it will transform your entire outfit to sheer elegance. Match it with either set of earrings though I'd like it better with the black pair. You stay classy, Toronto.

Pave Ornamental necklace. These have such a holiday appeal to them, don't they? or maybe it's just those ornaments on the sides that make me think that. Either way, I likey.

Class Issues: Emma Stone

Stone's Vogue 2012 cover

Love. Love. Love. All of it. Every last sparkle.

In Class Issues, I'll be posting fashion magazines covers that really tickles my fancy. If you do a Google image search for "Vogue" today, the first thing you get is Emma Stone's cover. She's certainly made a name for herself on the big screen and in the fashion world. Here are some of my favourite shots of her. You stay classy, Toronto.

Vogue spread. Love the top. The skirt not so much.

The Fresh Closet: keeping your fingers toasty enough to text with this fall

Danier Leather $35

h&m $20

This segment features items coming out of my very own closet. These are both beautiful pairs of leather gloves. I don't know which one I like more. But I do know which one looks nicer on the hands - the h&m pair is more sleek and looks more fitted. However, due to its woolen insides, the Danier pair is a much warmer choice if we're going to be practical about the use of the gloves, whereas the insides of the h&m pair is made with suede. Also, the Danier one is more durable - it's 100% lambskin leather as opposed to the 100% goatskin leather the h&m pair is made with. I bought them both about 4 years ago so I do not have links for them. They've both lasted me well. You stay classy, Toronto.

The insides of both pairs

Fresh & Polished: Tweed in fall

Blake Lively in tweed.  

 Perfect fall outfit Blake Lively sports. Unfortunately, I found this picture a couple of years ago and no long have the source for it or info on where to get these items. Following is an alternative version of the outfit I found on the streets of TO. You stay classy, Toronto.

Kate Bowen stays classy in Zara (pants $40 & jacket $80), Forever XXI (boots $16), H&M (scarf $10), Michael Kors (bag $200)
