Beauty and Brains

campus 2014-8576

Beautiful weather for fall allows for short skirts and boots on campus!
Smart sense of style means keeping it simple yet playful.  An easy look for busy mornings,
this combination is relaxed and comfortable – the rich coloured skirt centres the outfit!

Try combining looks from various seasons to see what you can create from your wardrobe.

Caring about the details of hair or make up that is both beautiful and
simple to do is a confidence booster all day.

THE TOQUE
Weekends, days off and two-day or three-day hair wouldn’t be the same without them on the west coast.
This is especially fun when you pair the toque to your own hair colour…
add soft waves and your afternoon outdoors is quick and easy!

Quick morning tip:
If you go with a black toque any colour works in the middle if you pair it with black pants.

Find a few toques that work with your look, hair colour and pant / skirt collection.
Keep make up lush and natural.

Umbrella Series
Shelter any time you can find it is helpful even if you have to grab your golf umbrella – it might just be raining hard enough that it’s called for!

Why this works..
the blacks, the taupe, the tan and grey are neutrals that are classic and very combo-versatile!

Love the edgy neckline and that her coat and dress hem length are the same, long enough to be chic.
