May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here . The Women’s Lifestyle Expo Palmerston North is on 13–14 May, and I’ll be there with a stall selling fabulous fashion pieces for great prices. Stop by for a browse and a quick style! Ange xoxo
