Be bold!

Brrrr! It's really getting downright chilly out there. Time to pull old that boring winter coat. Or not!! Check out some of these fun yet fabulous fashion coats. Make the change!

Alright... shall we ease you into this? Check out this thing of beauty! This coat is by Pixie Market. Shaggy, black and white and beautiful! It may be black and white but we promise you won't fade into the background. It's almost like a fun take on Cruella de Vil! But it's all up to you.

Let's take this in a different direction. How about a biker's jacket? But this isn't your average motorcycle jacket. It's a little bit... furry. It's fabulous! Blue with a flash of orange. And the gold details are a great touch. It's a little wild but so much fun!

Alright... that's enough coats for now. What do you think? Are you ready to make a statement?

Freezing yet fabulous!!

We better strap in for a long winter... But it doesn't mean you can't look great while doing it! These winter accessories might give the little winter look pick me up you were searching for. Check it out!!

Let's start up top. A hat is a must when it's cold outside. Keep that body heat in! Try this hat on for size. It's by Tory Burch and we think it's has a royal look to it! We love the bling and details. Yet basic enough to compliment any outfit!

Faux fur. It's a huge trend this winter. And we give it two thumbs up! It's classy and polished. And you can pull it off on a budget. Check out this scarf from H&M. Doesn't it look warm? We're ready to embrace this look. 

Now, lets keep our hands warm. Protect them from the fierce cold! And in style too. These gloves by Acne Studios are our pick! We love the long length and rich color. And that zipper! We adore it.  

There. We are all warm now, right? Perfect! We're ready to settle into a nice, long winter. Spring will be here soon-ish... right?

Stop and smell the roses

Winter is coming. Want to stray away from those winter neutrals? Or maybe you just want to mix something new in. We got the perfect thing! Floral! Yes. Floral in winter. Think we're crazy? Keep reading and you can be the judge!

A black dress can really serve you well any time of the year. Add a little something special and it's even better. We gave a tiny gasp when we saw this dress by Christopher Kane. Isn't it gorgeous? We love the scattered use of floral on this dress. And the colors really pop against the black of the dress. We think this is a great way to wear floral in the wintertime. Pair the floral print with a darker color. 

If it's pretty chilly where you are, pants are a must. Skirts and dresses might not be warm enough. Not to worry! Check out these floral pants! A little wild but pretty neat, right? And they are this great corduroy texture. That means warmth! Pair them with a solid color navy, cream or black blouse. You have the prefect lunch date outfit! 

Mix up your regular work wear. Add in a floral top to make you outfit really pop out! We like this one. The print is so interesting. It's not your typical floral pattern. And it will pair nicely with your own dress pants or skirt. Such a polished look! 

We hope we have inspired your winter wardrobe. Let us know what you think!

It's time to get cozy!

Happy Christmas Eve! Don't you just want to bundle up? Oh yes, it's time to get cozy! We think a infinity scarf is just the thing. It's going to be the finishing touch to that layered marshmallow-like look.

We like infinity scarves because well... they are easy. Putting them on is a snap! No need to wrap around or tie. Just put it over your head and you are set to head out the door. We have our eye on this one from Topshop. We'e big fans of the heathered, fleck pattern. It's a great way to put a twist on a basic. Such a beautiful scarf! 

If you are going to be warm, why not look fabulous while doing it? That sounds like a win-win situation to us! Fur is fab in our book! Check out this fur infinity scarf by Ugg Australia. We think this will give you a really polished winter look. And the shearling will keep you toasty warm! 

And you can't go wrong with a big chunky scarf. This has to be our favorite winter look. Check out this one! The golden color and the braided look? So perfect! The best thing about an infinity scarf? You can pull it up around your ears and face. Bring on the arctic wind! We have our armor! 

All of here at the Latex Store want to say.... Happy holidays to you and yours!

These boots are made for walking!

Are you embracing winter fashion and footwear? We sure hope so!  Why not try on some booties for size? Don't get weighted down by calf or knee length boots. Pop on a pair of heeled booties and strut your stuff!

A black pair of booties will do you a whole lot of good all winter long. They are basic enough to go with all your outfits. We love this pair by Charlotte Olympia. The gold details are just beautiful. A flash of gold will certainly catch an eye or two. Pair them with a cocktail dress or your best pair of jeans. You really can't go wrong!

Feel free to venture past the basic! Jewel tones are perfect for the fall. Plums, sapphires and emeralds look just beautiful! We love these gold capped blue booties by Alexander McQueen. We love the suede texture. These would be quite a splurge but so worth it!

Don't you like to break the rules every once and a while? We sure do! Go ahead and do it! Wear while shoes after Labor Day! How about these winter white Gianvito Rossi booties. They have a cool, modern style to them. We love the zipper detail on the back!

So, booties? Yay or nay? Let us know on our Twitter page!

Yet another excuse for a new pair of shoes...

We're heading out to sunny California today. Sunshine all weekend long! But for the rest of you... It's kinda chilly out there, isn't it? Now we are just being cruel! It might be a good time to invest in some warm clothing, don't you think? Hmmm? Okay. Let's face it... it just another way to justify buying a new pair of shoes.

Not just shoes but boots! Fuzzy, cozy boots perfect for the cold or snow. Chances are your life goes on no mater how cold or snowy it is outside. You have places to go and people to see! You need the perfect pair to drudge through this winter weather in. And look cute doing it ;)

My, my! Don't these Marc Jacobs snow boots look inviting? These have a more traditional, classic snow boot look. The insides are lined with a super warm and soft material. And outside material is weather proof! And we love the chestnut details. So classic, so cozy! Pair these with a capelet or a traditional pea coat with toggles.

We love those traditional duck boots! They are so classic and incredibly useful. They are just a great pair of boots. So, you can guess how excited we got by Sperry's take on that classic boot! Look at these! We love that they go all the way up the leg, giving you even more warmth. Finally a pair of snow boots for those of us who prefer taller boots! Pair them with your favorite raincoat or parka. What a sensible yet cute look!

So, bundle up and get out there! Stay warm and stay safe if you are facing any snowy, messy weather.

And don't forget to stay glued to our twitter feed tomorrow! It's our big photoshoot day! And we will be posting plenty of teaser photos. It's going to be a whole lot of fun!

Simplify.

Holiday time. It's a whole lot of crazy. So what are we craving? Simplicity. We don't want all this fuss. We want to be able to get up and out of the house without it being a huge production.

Well, there are a few things that can help. Just take it step by step. And the first? A great tote bag. A decent size bag that will hold everything you need for work, running errands and even squeezing a few minutes in at the gym. One bag that's works for many different elements of your life. And cute too! Check out some of our favorites.

We love a good Michael Kors bag. So classic and smart looking. He does totes too! Just look at this one. What a gorgeous bag! We love the shape of this tote. And we have no doubt it will hold everything you'll need. Just throw your lunch in on your way out the door and you're ready for the day!

Maybe simplicity for you is a smaller bag. Not a problem! Check out this smaller, structured tote. It's a little bit more manageable and more portable. If you don't need to tote as many things around, this might be the bag for you! We think this is a great work bag!

Maybe you are longing for a pop of color? We have a tote for that too! Check out this bright red bag by Rebecca Minkoff. Gorgeous! We love the box bottom on this bag. It makes it easier to find things when you set it down. It gives a great amount of structure to this bag. What a beauty!

Are we saying a tote bag is the answer to all your problems? Not at all! But it can be a step in the right direction. And well,  who doesn't want a new handbag?

Don't get left in the cold!

If you have been listening to the news lately, you might be aware that Buffalo, New York currently has 6 feet of snow on the ground. That's crazy! And there is more on the way! If any of our readers here are in the thick of all that, we wish you luck. Oh, just thinking about it gets us shivering. Shall we huddle here on the blog and try to keep warm?

Teddy bear coats are in! We know what you are thinking.... But that's not quite right. We promise this isn't some practical joke or something. 

This is what we mean! We're talking huge, furry coats to keep you extra warm and chic. A few stars, like Kim Kardashian and Alexa Chung, have been sporting them all last winter. And they are making a comeback this year. You could say we are a little excited...

I mean, who can resist something like this coat by Carven. It's a real beauty. You can tell how soft it is just by looking at it! Excellent quality means years and years of use. It's going to be perfect for the harsh winter that is quickly approaching.

And the toggles? Such a great touch. Add in your own winter accessories. It will look great over daytime and nighttime looks alike.

And they come in plenty of colors other than brown. No need to stick to those typical teddy bear colors. Like this grey coat by Asos.

We love that beautiful, huge collar. It really make a statement.  And those buttons are cool too! We have found this style in white and bold colors too! This look can really be tailored to your style.

Don't be left in the cold! It's time to get cozy. Show winter who the boss is around here! 

Menswear for the ladies

What is one of our favorite fall trends, you ask? Menswear for women. Can you go wrong? We think not! We love the blend of both masculine and feminine aspects to create this classy look. We love to incorporate patterns like herringbone and looks like vests and jackets into an everyday look for work or play. Lets get started!

Wow! This Lanvin dress is a perfect mash up of both men's and women's fashion. The sharp, crisp lines are rather masculine. They mock the look of a suit jacket. And the pattern is seen in both men's and women's fashion. But the waist accent and top of the dress are very feminine. What a great dress for work or a semi formal event. Try adding very feminine accents like pearls or a pop of bright color to make a real statement.

Menswear isn't all suits and plaid. The casual side of menswear also works for women. This Alexander Wang sweater is a perfect example of that. It has an oversized, very casual look to it. It's perfect for casual Saturdays. Pair it with leggings to complete the comfortable look. Wear your hair in curls and accessorize!

Shorts?! In fall and winter? Yes! We love this look! Pair a super tailored pair of shorts like this pair by Sandro Poupee with a peter pan collared button up shirt. Wear a pair of tights underneath the shorts to make it more fall appropriate. Wear your hair up in a top knot and accessorize with a headband. What a fun look for running errands or going to lunch with friends!

Lay it on thick

Jacket and coat season is upon us. If it hasn't gotten chilly enough where you are yet, it's only a matter of time.  Yes, it's time to bust out that old coat... Or better yet, get a new one! We're crazy about some of the coats available for winter. Check out just a few of our favorites.

We just love the look of this YMC wool coat! It's so girly! The color is certainly bold but tasteful. And it has such beautiful details. Very classic design. You'll always look your best in this coat. It's basic yet will certainly help you stand out!

Perhaps a flash of bright color is what your winter wardrobe needs. Pop out against the bleak grey backdrop. This electric blue coat by Tibi could be perfect for you! We love the loose, drop shoulder style. We get an almost 80's/90's feel!

This is another favorite! We love the classic look of this coat by ASOS. The toggles are such a cool detail. And the loose, almost baggy fit is perfect for winter. It looks so warm and comfortable. And the camel color is so beautiful. Pair it with a big, knit red scarf for a classic look.

So, lets keep warm in style this fall and winter! Bundle up!

Oh just loafing around...

While we weren't paying attention, loafers stole the shoe scene. And these aren't your grandmother's loafers! They are cute and perfect for your everyday look. We haven't convinced you? Hold tight. We have more!

Let's start with the basics. Nothing too crazy! Like this pair by Rebecca Minkoff. You have to admit, they are gorgeous! The heel and the sweeping lines. And we love the cutout. We would pair these with a bright pair of tights. You can really show of the color!

I've got my blue suede shoes! Seriously. Right here. Check out this pair! You think they are plain jane and then... BAM! Check out that fabric in the back. That is a super cool detail. You are going to want to wear these everyday. We don't even own a pair and we want to!

And looking towards spring, we think these are perfect! The coral and grey is the perfect color combo for spring. And the geometric pattern and cutout? We are in love. These are going to look great with shorts and sundresses. You are going to wear these over and over again in the warmer months. We're sure of it.

So get out there and go shoe shopping! You deserve it! Will you go with loafers? We sure hope so!
